Just a quick one gentle readers. For those of you who don’t hover around the GB forum, here’s a couple of things that have turned up recently. Pin Vice! Could she be the new captain? A speedy-damagy midfielder? Another Striker? I guess we’ll find out soon. As long as she hasn’t got more ranged knockdowns … More Guild Ball Season 2 spoilers!!!
I’d just like to point out this article is NOT about Guildball. Sorry, and all that. Legal disclaimers aside, this is the second article about designing a campaign from scratch. If you read the first one, you’ll probably remember I’m talking using the Pendragon system to take a group of peasants through the Third Crusade, … More THE CALM BEFORE THE (ARROW) STORM…
OK gentle readers, you asked for it (well you didn’t but I’m doing it anyway). Time to start getting our heads around the beautifully violent game. For this first discussion, we’ll be going so basic, I won’t even make it onto the pitch! I’m talking Influence. Any more basic and I’d be telling you what a … More Beginners Guild Ball Tactics (Part 1)
OK, gentle readers, Mr Straw put up a post that finished with a sneaky peek of someone called “Harry the Hat”, a new Union player for Guild Ball who crosses over with the game, Infamy: Welcome to the Big Smoke. As this whet my appetite for more info I decided to check out the Guild Ball forum and … More Thought i’d dig a little deeper
Yes gentle readers, we are finally talking about the hammer-wielding elephant in the room. The Age of Sigmar, released by our love-to-hate friends at GW, has been the most divisive thing amongst gamers since fantasy vs. sci-fi or Picard vs. Kirk. There have been no end of tirades against this new release regarding the rules, … More Welcome to the age of Sig-blah!
OK gentle readers, I’ll admit I may have set myself up for a fall with such a daring title but hear me out. Sometimes you forget to do this most important of gaming things. It happens when you get bored during an extended painting run. Or when you get really competitive and shout at your … More The most important thing to remember in gaming (that we tend to forget).
Ok, so we’ve (I’ve) waffled about all sorts of stuff related to RPGs. I’m trying not to do a blow by blow account of any games, as I can’t see that will particularly interest anyone who wasn’t there. So here, I’m going to go into the specifics of planning a campaign. It sort of follows … More Robin the Hood
Here follows another attempt at defining role-playing, how it works, or not. Looking at any GM’s guide, the stuff they write for you in the basic rulebook, they will always tell you be very descriptive. It’s funny, but pretty much every rulebook I’ve read, which is a few by now, GMs must be descriptive. Describe … More Setting the scene (or not)
See what I did there, gentle readers? OK, we said it was the site of gaming goodness, not punning greatness. Just wanted to show you my Guild Ball team so you can judge and criticize as you see fit. They are work-in-progress at the minute so give me a break. The ones with the grassy … More Have a butchers at these…
I play games, gentle readers, as evidenced by my bio down below. Rarely, though, am I taken by the mood to paint minis. Strangely I really enjoy assembling my latest plastic crack which gives me many models that are put together but not painted. Bad Dobby. With Guild Ball, it’s been a different story (and you … More Not that kind of painting!
