All By Design: Alternate “Shaken” Effects for Savage Worlds
Sep 03
I have two or three go-to systems for games as GM, mostly flexible systems that can handle a wide variety of genres. At this point, the bulk of the games I run are short campaigns or one-shots designed for convention-style play. For my money, one of the best systems around for this sort of thing is Savage Worlds. There’s a not insignificant amount of Savage Worlds design work already...
Avalon Mesa: Percival Kingfisher
Aug 13
You’ve already met almost all of the main characters whose destiny has called them to the Avalon Mesa. In every case, we’ve tried to stay true to the essence of the Arthurian originals while taking appropriate liberties to bring the legendary knights and warriors of Arthur’s round table into the Wild (or Weird) West.

But as my grandfather used to say, you never...
Unreal Worlds — Antarctic Adventures
Feb 27
We’ve previously established at some length that — at least allegedly — there are things happening at the bottom edge of the world that could be good fodder for a game. The problem, however, may be that there’s just too much happening in Antarctica to make a plot hang together: a tidy bit of irony considering that the place is supposedly nearly devoid of sentient life....
