Advantage on Arcana

In my last post, I described some of my prep for a Chronicles of Darkness / Fate Core game about ghosts, necromancers, and the use of history for political ends.

In anticipation of a supernatural mystery game (a session of the "Three Friends Horror Game," described here), I thought I might need information about high church Anglican occultism.

I've been circling around a post about names in games, as a (by now extremely belated) addition to Zeph Siebler's bandwagon on this topic at Sundered Shields and Silver Shillings.

Earlier this summer, I published Extravagant Sehlkwen's Rumours of Treasure on DriveThruRPG.

Before a game of Falling Tides, I was complaining about the difficulty of getting a decent battlemap of a woodland road.

DRAFT: I don't know why, but I've been struggling to write the final section of this post for weeks.

The Joesky tax pisses me off more than it should.

For my weird post-apocalyptic setting, for now called the Lakelands, there's a needle I want to thread between giving GMs ways to make the setting their own and giving them everything they need to run a game in the setting.

There was a bit of confusion, I understand, about July's RPG Blog Carnival, so that Seed of Worlds and Sea of Stars are both hosting it this month.

This month, Sean Holland at Sea of Stars is co-hosting the RPG Blog Carnival with xaosseed of Seed of Worlds on the topic "Small Gods, Saints, and other minor divinities."

This June I have been the host of the RPG Blog Carnival and my chosen topic was "Cyclopes, Ettins, Hill Giants, and Ogres."

A Lakelands setting post Ogre In a dreamzone, anything can become more than what it is, so long as some sapient mind nearby attaches unconscious significance to it.

A Lakelands setting post Most of the Unbound crave human worship, attention, or service, but not all of them do.

I work better with a deadline.

I'm pleased to be host of the June 2026 RPG Blog Carnival.
