Another 20 games that make you think about life
First we gave you five. Then we gave you ten. Now we are giving you 20 games that make you think about life. As with our previous lists, we have focused mainly on free games that you can play in your browser. 1 Elude Developed by Singapore-MIT Gambit Game Lab, Elude is a dark, atmospheric game that aims to shed light on the nature of depression. The forest that you start the game in represents a normal mood. This is a gloomy underground cavern, with a sticky muddy base that sucks you down. 2 Air Pressure You will have to play through Air Pressure - a Flash port of an interactive novel by Bentosmile - more than once to truly understand the characters and themes in this game. 3 Symon Another impressive production by Singapore-MIT Gambit Game Lab, Symon is a point-and-click adventure game with a difference. You also get to solve a lot of puzzles. 4 Ulitsa Dimitrova The Russians have never been the most cheery people. 5 Ute I am not quite sure what to make of this game. 6 Aether 8 Yet One Word

Zombies in Fantasyland - or creating a fantasy world that experienced a zombie apocalypse 100 years ago.
Note: If you want to follow the development of the Aruneus world, just click this . Bookmarking that will bring you back to the latest news. A friend and I are working on a high fantasy zombie apocalypse setting for play amongst our yet-to-be-formed group. This is more a series of notes than anything else but we’d really, really like to see your comments. Most likely a D20 system. 100 years ago, a zombie apocalypse happened. In the present, the population of intelligent races has shrunk to about 5% of what it once was. Societies are bootstrapping and starting to pull themselves together. Humans are susceptible to the disease – one bite = zombification. Zombies will instinctively attack and try to consume any warm blooded creates. This means that a large portion of this worlds population has been killed off. New magical means of detecting the undead have been created. Clerics have become the new nobility. The once mighty Guild of Wizards have found themselves a client to the Clerics. Today

750 things Mr. Welch can no longer do in a RPG
From RPGnetWiki (More than) is a list of actions PCs (personified as "Mr. Welch") should never take in a role-playing game. While many of the entries are based on actual games, other entries are entirely fictional. Cannot base characters off The Who's drummer Keith Moon. A one-man band is not an appropriate bard instrument. There is no Gnomish god of heavy artillery. My 7th Sea character Boudreaux is not 'Southern' Montaigne. Not allowed to blow all my skill points on 1-pt professional skills. Synchronized panicking is not a proper battle plan. Not allowed to use psychic powers to do the dishes. 'How to Serve Dragons' is not a cookbook. My monk's lips must be in sync. Just because my character and I can speak German, doesn't mean the GM can. Not allowed to berserk for the hell of it, especially during royal masquerades. Must learn at least one offensive or defensive spell if I'm the sorcerer. Must not murder canon NPCs in their sleep, no matter how cliché they are. Ogres are not kosher. My 3rd ed.
Characters with Character: Random Personality Generator
If you're enjoying the content here, check out our new site, Thoughtcrime Games. Thanks for visiting! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. I don’t know about you but when I sit down for a one-shot game with a pregen character, I can’t always come up with a unique and interesting personality on the fly. Using the Generator is a snap. Motivation: What is it that really gets your character’s motor running? Instinct: What is your character’s first reaction to a threat (physical or otherwise)? Approach: What archetype is your character best known for being? Now just because every character in D&D is combat-capable does not necessarily make them all warrior-type personalities. Carrion, Tiefling Earth WardenMotivation 3 (Information); Instinct 4 (Protect Others); Approach 10 (Disciplined Commander) Though the city of Bael Turath stands in ruins, much of the Tiefling heritage lies buried ignobly around the Known World.

Help, My Half-Elf Is Pregnant! The 11 Strangest Questions From The D&D 'Sage Advice' Column - ComicsAlliance | Comics culture, news, humor, commentary, and reviews
As this week’s release of John Rogers and Andrea DeVitos’s excellent Dungeons & Dragons #2 proves, D&D and comic books go together like… well, like escapist fantasies set in worlds with super-powerful characters that are built on tenuous, ever-changing rules. And like comics, the D&D rules invite all sorts of questions to figure out just how the hell they’re supposed to work. For over thirty years, that was the domain of Dragon Magazine and their “Sage Advice” column, where players could write in with problems to get semi-official answers. Unfortunately for fans of esoteric, incredibly specific knowledge everywhere, the column is no more (having since been replaced by, you know, the Internet), but my pal Mike Sterling recently sent me a link to a searchable archive of 680 “Sage Advice” questions and answers culled from over a hundred issues of Dragon. #1. #2. #3. No souls? #5. #6. Is it just me, or does the Sage seem a shade too protective of his character here? #7. #8. #9. #10. #11.
