Day 2: Favorite Playable Race | inthecitiesdotcom

Just another WordPress.com site. September 10, 2013. Day 2: Favorite Playable Race. Strange as it might seem to folks, I never wanted to play anything but a human. In my current games, I think I’d have a hard time letting anyone play as anything but human. I haven’t quite got to the point where I have figured out the ecology of too many of the demi-human types in the campaign yet. When people play demi-humans, do they play them in a cliched way?

Day 3 – Favorite Playable Class | inthecitiesdotcom

Just another WordPress.com site. September 17, 2013. Day 3 – Favorite Playable Class. My mom used to read to me at night before I went to bed. We went through many, many books together this way – until I became old enough to want to read on my own. But, before that critical moment arrived, we had been to Oz (all of the Baum books, plus many of his “Non Oz” masterpieces), Narnia, Prydain, Middle Earth ( The Hobbit. And the entire Lord of the Rings. Green Knowe, and many other imaginary realms. You are com...

Just another WordPress.com site. January 27, 2014. The art that people use to inspire them in D&D is always important. We get our ideas about what our campaigns look like and feel like from many sources. I encourage DMs to go further afield. Put aside the kind of art you’re used to and look for ideas in mysterious byways that may have been, even unfairly, ignored. The OSR isn’t just about reheating the past. It’s about finding new places to take the old rules. This nameless monster is seen in flight over...

High level characters bold enough, and skilled enough, to be traveling these sunken and sepulchral highways may find themselves unexpectedly emerging in the Amazons’ castle. Laquo; Previous post.

What Is The OSR? | inthecitiesdotcom
https://in-the-cities.com/2014/10/20/what-is-the-osr
Just another WordPress.com site. October 20, 2014. What Is The OSR? The RPG bloggers have been trying to define what the terms “Old School Renaissance” (or “Old School Revolution”) really means. Naturally, there are as many definitions offered as the number of people who have considered the question. I pondered how I thought about the term and began to take pleasure in its sheer indeterminacy. Maybe the fact that it resists easy defining is part of its appeal…. How do you sum up the OSR? So what is it?

Just another WordPress.com site. May 20, 2014. I think last time I played a role playing game as a player – and not as the GM – was probably during the first term of Ronald Reagan’s presidency. It could have been during Jimmy Carter’s final year in office. Anyway, it’s been quite a while. That changed this weekend. May 7, 2014. Dungeons of the Amazon Queen….

Just another WordPress.com site. July 30, 2013. What is Good D&D Art? The art in D&D started going down the tubes the same time the game did. As the art in TSR’s products became more “professional,” it became more soulless and lacking. Gygax himself was a big part of this problem. He notoriously preferred the ugly, uninspired second edition cover of the DMG to the iconic first one. July 17, 2013. 1) Has anyone else been reading Wayne Rossi’s excellent blog on all things OD&D?

Just another WordPress.com site. August 5, 2013. I was surprised to discovered, some time back, that so much of FRP gaming is sold on PDFs now. This is, for many people, how they buy the new gaming stuff coming out – and increasingly the older stuff that’s reissued in this format. That might be another matter. That said, I’d like to recommend a couple of things. First, if you haven’t already bought a tablet, get one. I use a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, and I’m quite happy with...1) Guide to the City State.
