Happy Holidays

Seasonal greetings to you! This has been a strange year, to say the least. I hope all of you who read this blog get to spend time with loved ones and leave 2020 on a better note. 


The year in review

This year, I finally concluded the Curse of Strahd campaign I had been running with my friends from the university. In November, I got to start up a new campaign with them in the Star Wars universe. I also started another campaign with some friends from Discord, playing in the Revenant Sector setting. Scheduling being what it is, I've managed to get 5 sessions since late September. 

I have also been playing in a campaign that concluded recently, run by the Eldritch Rusk. We used Knave to play in a Norse-inspired fantasy setting. We explored an island, a Norse version of Caves of Chaos, a frozen tomb, and a village near the Barrow Maze. Not long after, the world, and the campaign, ended.  Following this, that game group has begun a new island-hopping campaign including Hot Springs Island. 

I have also been tinkering with my "Revenant's Hack" during this year. It began as something simple that I could play with my kids, which has escalated slightly into something that I've put on itch.io. It's still in development, for lack of a better phrase. I've scraped away as much as I think I can manage, using FKR ideas as a guide, and now I'm looking at ways to add useful content that aren't necessarily rules. 

This blog has been doing well too, I think. During this year, blogger tells me I have received roughly 23600 views, which I think is great. The last two months have been a bit busy, which significantly reduced my blogging output. In the new year, I hope to get back to a tempo of blogpost every week or perhaps every two weeks. 

I also started up the FKR Collective on discord (invite), which is now at roughly 220 members. It is a leftist server, where we discuss ultralight to freeform roleplaying games, including inspiration from the Free Kriegsspiel movement and the Old School Revival. That server has seen a lot of activity, including the release of the zine "In Play". It should now also be available in physical print! New issues are underway. 

Thanks

Thanks to everyone who has been reading and following my blog. I wish you a merry Christmas, happy holidays, and a happy new year!

Brutalist Adventure Game Design

Consider this a manifesto of sorts. Inspired by brutalist architecture and the development of brutalist web design , I want to get the ball rolling on the Brutalist Manifesto for adventure game design. I consider these to be principles to strive for, but not dogmatically adhere to.   Image generated with Midjourney. Usability Functionality First The form, text and presentation should be functional. They should be usable for the players at the table. The form should be practical and easy to arrange on the table. The text should be concise and easy to read and reference. The presentation should convey information that reduces the need for text. Material-Adaptive The game should function well in any format—printed, online, or hand-written. Whether players are using graph paper or a digital tablet, the game should adapt to their needs. This can mean supplying character sheets for physical play and online play. Consider the environmental impact when designing physical components. Ease of R

Getting started with Free Kriegsspiel Roleplaying

-
Image
This post is my attempt to lay bare how to play a roleplaying game using FKR methods. I will presume no prior experience. Actually, I will presume you don’t even have a roleplaying game. It’s alright, you won’t need one. Mind you, this post is still just a brief overview. Each of the topics I cover here are just barely scratching the tips of their respective icebergs.    Dreams by Rogier Hoekstra via Pixabay. Image used with permission. How to roleplay First off, roleplaying is not acting. It is not stage-play. Instead, it is about saying or doing things that you would do given a role. That’s it. It might even sound familiar, like play pretend. What you and your friends at the table will be doing is using roleplay to set up an ongoing fiction or narrative. When you roleplay, you are basically addressing the ‘facts’ that are in the fiction. Depending on your role, you could change or add facts to the fiction. If you’re in a room with a sarcophagus, you might want to examine some things

Heroic Relics or Class-Inspired Items for Into the Odd Characters

-
Image
So me and a few of my coworkers decided we want to start a new campaign. Almost all of them have never touched an RPG before, so I want to run Into the Odd for them, but still sprinkle in a bit of the fantasy-element found in Dungeons and Dragons. To that effect I've started making some items that are themed after the classes in D&D. This will be a series of posts, essentially, where I post 6 items per class. I'm doing the full array of classes found in 5th Edition, so the order of appearance will be the following: Barbarian, Bard, Cleric Druid, Fighter, Monk Paladin, Ranger, Rogue Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard Barbarian   Image generated with Midjourney. Belt of Raging Strength : Wearing this belt grants +d6 Strength. Once per day, the wearer can tap on the belt to gain bonus HP equal to their Willpower.  Bracers of Wind: Wearing these bracers grants the wearer d12 HP. Once per day, the wearer may re-roll the d12. The bracers do not work if worn along with armor.  Greataxe of
