Does anyone else have difficulty separating the author from the book? I prefer to know little or nothing about the author of a book before I start reading it. This equally applies to roleplaying books and it’s a roleplaying book that I’m having difficulty at the moment separating the creator (and his/her actions/opinions) from the [...]
Or rather: Should I know who Doc Savage is? In less than 5 seconds I can get answer from the wikipedia pipe, but that’s not really my question. I got my copy of Spirit of the Century (and this is not meant to be a criticism of SOTC, I’ve only flicked through the introduction) which [...]

Apparently, my last post on Fudge, got some people annoyed. Fred Hicks of EvilHat (Fate and “Spirit of the Century”) and Chris Helton of Seraphim Guard etc. both chipped on my blog to say they don’t believe Fudge is dead! (I didn’t know I was so popular). This weekend, on top of that, I got [...]
I’m a big fan of the Fudge roleplaying system. Loved it so much I hoping to have my Reboot adventure (now a full setting) published under the Now Playing Fudge derivative and my bigger project LH published as a full Fudge product. Don’t get me wrong, I like many of the new ideas of Fate [...]
I’m back from my holidays three days now. And I’m still suffering. The holiday was great, three weeks, no TV, no internet connection, just my laptop for writing, sketchpad for drawing and two children to stop me from relaxing and a baby who cries a lot to keep me just on the edge… not too [...]
I know a few people think I’m a little “out there” when I start talking or writing about roleplaying theory and concepts (see “no need for backgrounds” for example). Well I found something that I think is a little “out there”! I came cross the phrase “Conflict Resolution” on the Fudge mailing list. Related Posts:TDO [...]
I’ve been battling away in work and the war has drained me right to the gutter so it was nice ego boast when I got a reply from Grey Ghost Press.

Yay! Go me! My article “Roleplaying Large Scale Battles” finally got accepted and published in FudgeFactor.org. You can read it here. At some point I’ll put a copy of it on my website. FudgeFactor.org is an ezine for Fudge (as in the Roleplaying System) and Roleplaying stuff. They have a decent standard of quality and [...]
You wake up. But it is not your home. Not your house. Not your world. The people are strange. Odd. They don’t seem to care about anything. There are people going mad on the street and everyone watches as they kill themselves. And what the hell is it with that countdown? If your looking for [...]
