Goody White’s Book of Folk Magic, my quirky book of spells for Pathfinder and the Cypher System, is finally available in print! (I’ve actually been shipping out print copies to the Kickstarter backers for a few weeks now, but now those are finally all on their way, so I’ve opened it up for anyone to…
As my contract at Wizards of the Coast draws to a close, I’m looking at other options to take care of the bills, and one of the things I’m considering is having a Patreon. I’ve been wanting to push my creativity in different ways, and having a Patreon-style setup would definitely motivate me to create…
(Yes, I’m a backer!) Just a few of kickstarters I want to talk about (and all of them are already funded!). John Wick’s 7th Sea 2nd edition kickstarter was funded almost immediately and I think it’s actually broken records for RPG kickstarter funding goals. 31 hours to go, you still have time to back…
(Yes, I’m a backer!) Here’s a few kickstarters I think are worth checking out. :) • Lester Smith (creator of Dragon Dice) has a new dice game called SuperPower Smackdown • JourneyQuest season 3. Enough said! • Heroines in Sensible Shoes, a set of realistic female gaming minis • Some beautiful handcrafted wooden dice trays…
Game stores are a big deal for the RPG industry. What sort of things do you want to know about a game store that would make you decide to visit there, spend money there, and return? For example: What games do they stock? How knowledgeable are the staff about the games? Any other gamer-friendly things…
(Yes, I’m a backer!) Here’s a few kickstarters I think are worth checking out. :) Blue Rose RPG — Green Ronin’s game of romantic fantasy, rebooted using the system they used for Dragon Age Legendary Planet Adventure Path — an epic “sword & planet” adventure saga for PF and 5E … and I’m writing all the…
(Yes, I’m a backer!) Just a couple of kickstarters I want to talk about in the last few days of their campaigns… The Gamers: Dorkness Rising Definitive Blu-Ray Edition—already funded, with many stretch goals unlocked (including an in-character commentary with all the villains from the movie, including me!) No Thank You, Evil!—an RPG from…
Hello! Now that I’m moved, I’d like to get rid of a lot of the clutter in my apartment. Wanna buy some minis? USA recipients only, please (international shipping is just too much of a pain). Make a list of what you’re interested in, mail it to me at me @ seankreynolds.com, and I’ll put…
(Yes, I’m a backer!) Curse of the Yellow Sign—three Call of Cthulhu adventures by John Wick Toejam and Earl: Back in the Groove—a new videogame! For a Few Dice More—a documentary about gamers Shadow of the Demon Lord—a dark and horrific fantasy RPG by that mad fellow Rob Schwalb Dwarven Forge’s City Builder…
Over the past few weeks I’ve been posting easter eggs about the various god articles I wrote for the Paizo adventure paths; this info appeared on my Facebook fan page and Twitter, but just in case you don’t read those, I’m reposting them here. 2/5 Abadar: The planar ally Ghost of Malthus is based on…
I posted a preview about bard game mechanics on the Five Moons blog.
Some cool kickstarters! (I’m a backer!) Starr Mazzer—a fun little video game with some voiceover talents who are friends of mine Alphabeast Soup—a kooky little book by Andy Hopp Bad Bandana 2 Pixels on a Rampage—who doesn’t want a bandana with pixel video game art? Numenera: Strand—Adding features to the Numenera short film Remember, even contributing…
I’m doing a video chat with Louis Porter, Jr. in about 30 minutes on Google+, here is the link! There will be an open question portion and I’m on cold medicine right now so I’ll have no filter and the answers will probably be very interesting… Update: The video chat is over! You can watch…
Only two I want to talk about today. (Yes, I backed both of these!) Grimtooth’s Ultimate Traps Collection—this collects all five of the original Grimtooth’s Traps books from the 80s and 90s into one hardcover, plus new traps and tons of already-unlocked stretch goals. If you have no idea what the original Grimtooth’s Traps books are,…
Now that my kickstarter is done, it’s time to share the rewards and back some other fun projects! Cross of Fire Saga Adventure Path for PFRPG is a post-apoc survival horror 5-part adventure path by Louis Porter, Jr. Riders: A Game About Cheating Doomsday is about servants of the Four Horsemen… trying to stop armageddon Lexicon is…
Here is a link to the example-of-play video: a short video demonstrating gameplay in the Five Moons RPG. At the bottom of this post on the Five Moons RPG blog is a transcript of the video. If you like this post and where these ideas are going, please check out the kickstarter for my Five Moons RPG… there’s only 4 days…
This is a pointer to other things I’ve posted recently. I just wanted to make sure people see it if they’re watching this blog and not that one. :) I posted a prototype character sheet for the Five Moons RPG. In this kickstarter update I ask people what’s the next thing I should talk about in…
Here are some more kickstarters I’m backing and think are worth looking at. And yes, I’m a backer for all of these. :) Fire & Bone 2: 3D-printed animal skulls created from detailed scans Flat Plastic Miniatures: like paper minis, but printed on thick transparent plastic Feral: an open world survival game where you play a…
The previous discussion about John Wick’s article reminded me of a tangential topic–something I said a couple of years ago about balancing classes, which was: It’s impossible to perfectly “balance” a roleplaying game and still have any sort of recognizable individuality in the classes. Is a healing-focused cleric balanced against a sneak-attacking rogue or against a…
Here’s an interesting article on RPGs by John Wick. I always like hearing what he has to say, even if I don’t 100% agree with him. (I admit that his way of thinking has persuaded me in my shift away from D&D and the development of Five Moons RPG.)
