Reimagining the Age of Strife for Norðrlǫnd
When I reviewed Kobold Press’s Northlands setting recently, Northlands has Landed … and Northlands — Playable Flavour Done Right, I mentioned that my intention is to use the setting and it’s companion Northlands Sagas as the foundation for my first Tales of the Valiant … Continue reading
RPG Tech Talk Returns — Dreams of a Smarter Table

Map of the Month: CC3+ and Mike Schley Overland
It seems an age since I really got my teeth stuck into a proper map e.g. one which wasn’t just a quick CC3 hack to print out a scale battle-map. For my ‘Amber Pendant‘ solo campaign with my son, I needed … Continue reading

Down the River
A really fun encounter in my ‘solo’ campaign session with my son today. His character, with a few accomplices, is travelling down-river on a merchant’s barge in pursuit of some nefarious folk who have stolen an ancient artefact known only … Continue reading
