  • Playing a Cleric: Prayers

    Posted on Monday December 14th, 2009 at 14:29 in character class, roleplaying techniques

    I have a tendency to play PCs with religious backgrounds. Playing "the cleric" is a challenge, you are playing against expectations. Other players may expect you to be a healing machine. Your GM may impose expectations from a church - or even a god. ...

    Posted on Monday October 26th, 2009 at 18:05 in rules, d20 patch, tactical combat, crunch fetish

    I've been working on my FATE-inspired fantasy rules project, and got to thinking about combat yesterday. The ideas I was having were a bit too crunchy for my current project, but they should work as a tweak to d20-based games, 4e, or other games that...

    Posted on Wednesday September 30th, 2009 at 19:39 in dungeon, old-skool, setting element, gm techniques

    I've only played Shadowrun a few times. Most of them have been with the same group of people. Our playstyle focused upon extensive recon and planning, and - while that style of game might annoy some people - I enjoyed it quite a bit.Yesterday, I got ...

Grim. Horrific. Mind exploding. Imaginative.

These things and more describe what Netherworld Stories is all about. It is a premier RPG blog - a must see IMHO.
