Escape Pods
This post is to accumulate the random nonsense that’s worth saving from my G+ feed. Designer Interviews Two interviews, both by Sean Nittner on his Narrative Control podcast. Both programs are insightful and even seem mutually exclusive at times, but taking only viewpoint here doesn’t paint as complete a picture of game design. The first

SWADE is the New (Savage Worlds) Black
Playtest PDFs of Savage Worlds Adventure Edition, the new version of Savage Worlds, are going out to kickstarter backers and from what little I’ve read the bulk of the noticeable tweaks are in the Edges. Here’s a list of my favorite abuses when making SW characters and what SWADE did to stop me. Marksman: Marksman

Hero Forge and Shapeways, Part III
In Part II I expressed concern how the Professional Plastic (black HP nylon) from Shapeways would handle my ham-handed painting techniques. I tried a little ink wash right after I primed it just to see, and the wash mostly worked. The issue was that the wash would cover the pebbly surface and make the whole

Who’s that blog?
You can now reach me at the (slightly easier to remember) domains: blog.dontrollaone.com rpgs.wtf I’ll be messing around with subdomains and DNS a little bit more, which has always been my least favorite part of web development.

The Magnificent Seven
There’s this “10 RPGs that had an impact on you in 10 days” activity going around, and I figured I’d do mine. Gamma World Gamma World 3e was my first roleplaying game and still has the best cover art of all time – look at that fucking cyborg otter and his power armor bunny sidekick,

Glow in the Dark

Hero Forge and Shapeways, Part II
In Part I, we looked at three miniatures in three different materials. I’ve primed all of them with white matte spray paint and wanted to get this brief post up, since Part III (what it’s like to paint them) is going to be contingent on me having time to paint. The elf decker and cowboy,

Hero Forge and Shapeways, Part I
I took advantage of some Black Friday deals to get some miniatures 3d printed, like I need more or something. I designed all 3 in Hero Forge but only ordered one mini direct from them. For the other two, I downloaded the .stl files and uploaded them to Shapeways. Shapeways recently revamped the materials they offer and I

Jumping On The Blogwagon
Photo by Kamweti Mutu I’m Adam, and I play roleplaying games. Google Plus was, for some reason, this mecca of RPG discussion but since it’s going away people are scattering to various other social media platforms. There’s been a resurgence in blogging and keeping up via feed readers and I’m jumping in too. I’m not

What I’ve Been Working On
Last November I released Glow in the Dark, my post-apocalyptic Forged in the Dark supplement. I did the whole self-publish to drivethrurpg thing with it. It was a lot of work, especially considering my original plan was just a google doc, but I don’t think it gets hated on or anything, so I consider it
