13th Sage: A New Icon Relationship Variant from the 13th Arduin Campaign

By Rob Heinsoo, with Jonathan Tweet Another 13th Age campaign, another experiment with the icon relationship dice!

The Plain People of Gaming: Christmas in Cthulhu City

It was the Yuletide, that men call Christmas though they know in their hearts it is older than Bethlehem and Babylon, older than Memphis and mankind. It was the Yuletide, and I had come at last to the ancient sea town where my people had dwelt and kept festival in the elder time when festival […]

View from the Pelgrane’s Nest: December 2017/January 2018

October 2017: View from the Pelgrane’s Nest

The LARP season is upon us. Cat and I are off to Poland to play Fairweather Manor, then it’s Consequences, and On Location. I am relatively new to live action roleplaying, but I’ve really taken to it – I recommend it to anyone who enjoys table top roleplaying.  With our recruitment of an administrative assistant […]
