If you have a blog, tell me about it. I hope to keep in touch with you all.

Still sore about Google Plus.

The Last Days of Kranium Kastle

Image
This is a hack of TROIKA! (and Fighting Fantasy in general). You play the part of a creature serving an evil overlord. The war against the Forces of good isn’t going as planned, and it may be time for some hard decisions. Do you stay and fight or desert? Do you try to switch sides (as if the Forces of Good would ever trust or shelter you)? Or do you maybe have some crazy scheme which might turn the tide in your favor, and visit doom upon the armies of elves, dwarves, humans and warrior angels. This hack is inspired by Fighting Fantasy books (particularly The Warlock of Firetop Mountain , Citadel of Chaos , Phantoms of Fear and Creature of Havoc ). Thanks to Eric Nieudan for letting me borrow his crowblins! It's all literal with these guys CREATING A CHARACTER Roll for SKILL, STAMINA and LUCK as described in TROIKA! Roll d3+3 to determine Skill Roll 2d6+12 to determine Stamina Roll d6+6 to determine Luck Roll d66 on the Background Table and record th

Oh B.R.O.T.H.E.R.

  The Agents from B.R.O.T.H.E.R.  B.R.O.T.H.E.R. (Bureau for Research on Occult Threats Harming or Endangering Reality) is a secret international institution with offices all over the world. Their purview is to investigate and understand all that is unearthly, esoteric and dismissed by the mainstream of science. Should a phenomenon prove dangerous, it is to be neutralized. Even its agents are unclear on who exactly it is they work for. Three main theories exist B.R.O.T.H.E.R. is an agency under the aegis of the United Nations. Due to the extremely sensitive nature of its purview, it is kept secret even from the member nations.  B.R.O.T.H.E.R. is the modern incarnation of the Brotherhood of Thoth-Hermes, a Hermetic society dedicated to breaking down any opposition between science and esoteric philosophy. According to this narrative, everybody and their mother was secretly an initiate (Benjamin Franklin, Sir Isaac Newton, Hildegard of Bingen, Abramelin the Mage etc. etc.) B.R.O.T.H.E.R.

Teen Cthulhu

Image
I have tried to make a hack of Call of Cthulhu which lets you play teenagers in the 1990s, heavily inspired by Things From the Flood. It owes a good deal to Pulp Cthulhu as well, and uses some of the Pulp Talents and Luck rules. How to roll up a teen. STRength 1D6+8 x 5 CONstitution 1D6+8 x 5 SIZe 1D6+8 x 5 INTelligence 1D6+8 x 5 APPearance 1D6+8 x 5 POWer 1D6+8 x 5 EDUcation 1D6+8 x 5 Choose one of these as your Prime Attribute and that one is rolled 1D6+12. LUCK 2D6+6 x 5 Luck works the same way as it does in Pulp Cthulhu. The same goes for derived characteristics. Then choose a role. The role determines your ‘occupational’ skills as well as the Pulp Talents available to you. Note that none of them are combat talents. While kids can and do fight, they’re not generally all that good at it. (New Pulp Talents are marked with an asterisk). C redit Rating isn’t a suggestion here, it’s what your teen gets. You don’t have t
