Kickstarter for an Adventure and Campaign Setting (With Content Reviewed Here Last Month)

I rarely use my forum here to shill for Kickstarters unless I have some personal connection and think they are a good deal. As these things go more and more publishers are turning to Kickstarter and I'm asked to make a mention a few more times than I'm comfortable doing.

Normally I'd pass on a more recent request from A Hole in the Ground Terrain & Games, but I did review one of their products about a month ago (Inn of the Buxom Wench). These guys aren't asking for a lot and if you play 5th Edition I'm thinking it might be a good deal.

The Halls of Runehammer seems like a pretty straight-forward Kickstarter and with only two donation levels ($5 & $10), it looks like you could get a decent amount of content for a good price. Heck, they are already 1/2 way towards their goal and it looks like most are going with the $10 buy-in.

Free GM Resource: 3d Printer "Stuff"

This week's Free GM Resource is a twofer and a real-recent re-hash...definitely NOT a threefer.

In February I offered up the newsletter from Fat Dragon Games. This week I'd like to add a newsletter from Hobgoblin 3D and a newsletter from Printable Scenery.

I know the idea of 3D printing might not seem to fit in with being "frugal", but for me it has always been about getting a good value for your money and not just trying to save a buck or two. With the prices of 3D printers coming down and the availability of great 3D models going up...I think the time is coming.

So far I've received newsletters from Fat Dragon Games and Hobgoblin 3D, but nothing from Printable Scenery yet. The newsletters I've gotten so far have had freebie 3D files and even a good tip or two with regards to getting the most out of your prints.

I hope to get my 3D printer up and running soon so I can take advantage of what this new technology has to offer.

Another Free/PWYW d30 Table is up, and it's no April Fools Joke!

I know...two tables in two days?! I'm almost on a roll.

As I figure it I'm, still two tables behind, so I either need to catch up or adjust my schedule. Which path I end up taking depends on how well I can migrate ideas to paper....

 his d30 generator helps create mild magical poisons called Gut Busters that are used as part of a hazing/initiation ritual in certain drinking establishments.

Gut Busters were a bit of a HackMaster 4th Edition throw-away that really only applied to drinking establishments that applied to

one race (Gnome Titans). I took the idea and made it a fixture of my home campaign largely because I've seen real-world examples of noxious party drinks people had to consume. A good example is the "Grog Bowl" at certain military Dining Outs (different services would have different names for the drink and the event).

A little bit of light fun for April Fool's Day 2017 and a little love for the venerable d30.

New Free/PWYW d30 Table is now Available!

I know it has been a while since I've posted a new d30 table and it is something I'm working on....

I did finally finish this d30 Coinage Generator that was just a seed of an idea a couple months ago. For this one I actually did some research that ended up with me fiddle-farting around trying to make some ideas work out right.

This generator assumes a standard size and shape for the main/base coin and the 1st table generates the coin's alloy and Standard Value (SV), where a SV of 1.00 is equal to one gold piece (gp). Additional tables create denominations and may even alter the base coin. They include modifiers to the SV for any changes or denominations made.

One thing I personally find amusing is that this table doesn't actually duplicate results/tables from another d30 Coin Generator from New Big Dragon Games Unlimited, which I already have and didn't actually consult when planning this out. To me that was just a happy coincidence, but for you, dear reader, you might want to click on that link above because those tables work well with this generator.

Like usual, you can click on either graphic to do to the appropriate DTRPG page, or you can use this link.

A Re-Visited Free GM Resource: Dyson's Dodecahedron

It's been a good three-and-a-half years since Dyson's Dodecahedron was 1st featured as a Free GM Resource.

A lot has happened with Dyson over the last 30 months....a....lot.

Probably the biggest "thing" for Dyson is his Patreon Campaign where he's in the top tier of earners for his work, enough that he's pretty much a full-time cartographer now. Good for him, and also good for us.

Unless you've been living under a rock you should know that Dyson's Dodecahedron is an awesome place for RPG maps, but....and this is the reason for the re-visit, Dyson has made a larger number of his maps free for commercial use.

It's kind of a big deal, and you should go specifically check out these maps....maybe his Patreon Campaign as well.

Friendly Head's-Up Regarding a New Kickstarter Good for Online Games

I don't recommend too many Kickstarters (or at least I don't think I do), but Fantasy Maps, Floorplans & Art Pack for RPG games is one I just signed on to.

The creator, Jean Francois Senay, has done five previous Kickstarters and usually has most of the artwork completed before he even launches. For about $9 USD you can pick up some new modular interior floorplans (nothing too special there) , nine furnished rooms, and 135 items. I bought in for the finished rooms & items, which I think are great resources when playing online with the likes of MapTools or Roll20.

A Twofer of Tools From the Basic Fantasy Role Playing Game

A little over a year ago I posted the Basic Fantasy Role Playing Game as a Free GM Resource. I took a bit of a re-visit and noticed that the BFRPG folks have a few pretty cool random generators for the game that are worth checking out.

If you head over to the "tools" section of the site you'll find the generators, as well as a few other gems. The MapMatic tools pretty much deserve their own shout-out, so just consider this a twofer!

Free GM Resource: A Metric Butt-Ton of Free Adventures

This week's Free GM Resource, in honor of the recent "GM's Day", is a plethora of free OSR adventures collected over at the Dragonsfoot forums.

Seriously....we are talking about hundreds of adventures.....hundreds.

Too many to go through, so I'd just bookmark the page and visit as needed.
