Just one set of questions today: Iorwerth says: How do weapons and armour work? Do they just add stress levels / subtract stress levels? Yup. The system is pretty chunky – what I mean is, there aren’t extensive weapons and armour lists. Each has four categories, rated from one to … Continue reading
First off, a clarification from Chad Underkoffler, one of the authors of the game: Point of fact: Chicago is not fully game-statted as Baltimore is, but it’s got a METRIC TON of cool, real-world (not necessarily series-based) weirdness in it.

Saturday was the next episode of the Shadow Wars campaign for Hunter: The Vigil. We only had four of the five players show up for it – one was in Mexico – but we’re running this by quorum, so we play unless two or more players can’t make it. Last … Continue reading
Check out this press release. Yep, after much work, the good folks at Evil Hat are on track to release The Dresden Files RPG at Origins this year. In two big books. This is big news for me, because I started this blog as a way to fulfill the terms … Continue reading
I’ve been a little lax about posting this past week or so because I’ve been caught up in preparation for a few games. One of the games is a playtest of the new Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay*, another is the next installment of the Hunter – Shadow Wars episodic campaign, and … Continue reading
