Goblin's Henchman

I recently added a helper file to my In the Heart of the Unknown product (see below).

My recent Kickstarter has finished and as a result I now have 4 Print on Demand (PoD) products available.

Trends in modern gaming: People like to roll in the open (transparency) Players (not DMs) roll when possible I can live with both of these (you probably sense a but), but I don’t like this when this is done for perception-like checks e.g. checks for traps,

Got a few things done in 2022 Slightly amazed that I now have 48 products on DriveThruRPG with an average rating of 4.6 stars Check out my stuff here (most of it is PWYW): https://goblinshenchman.wordpress.com/downloads/ 10 Most viewed blog topics 1 Hex F…

TLDR – skip to the “Proforma Questions” – – – Kinds of Puzzles I will start off by saying, I do not claim to be the best puzzle designer out there.

EDIT: I got some push back on Reddit about this post.

I recently posted about what I think is common to, and so is, the OSR (link), and why your ‘faction’ of the OSR is a self-fulfilling prophesy.

A (hopefully) fun festive idea – an Advent Calendar Dungeon (‘Advent(ure) Calendar’).

I recently tried an experiment, making poker cards with the Face Folio images, and I think it worked out well: There a 50 cards, with a portrait on each side of the cards – so 100 images (plus 1 card with ‘Face Folio’ printed on both sides).

I’m not very fast at bringing stuff together … Sometimes I wonder how long things take me.

I’ve recently been listening to lots of Oct-OSR podcast and I began to wonder why I find myself more often than not agreeing with what seem to be different/divergent statements about what the OSR is.

Recently I been thinking about functional entries in random tables.

Recently I have been wondering if this idea might be fun – just a slight extension of an idea I had before.

I’ve collaborated with ATELIER CLANDESTIN who are blasting out great random table supplements.

After some thought, I decided to re-Kick Face Folio for Zine Quest 4, and which now has funded: Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/facefolio2/face-folio-for-zine-quest-4 Face Folio layout: :O) #zinequest – – – Me on DriveThruDriveThru;…

Face Folio as a PDF is being distributed to the Kickstarter backers!

G+ had faults but it was still the least worst … were you there, posting when G+ fell?

I can’t do a lot to help Ukraine, but here’s a promo code for my ‘In the Heart of Oz’.

I was listening to Ray Otus’s podcast (which I like).

In the Heart of (the Land of the Wizard of) Oz is a system-neutral procedural sandbox setting which draws inspiration from the books of L.

I’m always interested to see what people are doing with Hex Flowers (HF).

I made this recent post about using QR codes to make a random encounter table.

Drop die tables are interesting.

In this video we play test my ‘Law & (In)Justice’ Hex Flower.

TLDRQ – what’s a Hex Flower anywho?

Not sure if this has been done before, but seems like a fun idea. :: Musedusa :: Stats As per Medusa but with different abilities.
