If you follow video games, then you’ve probably seen the concept art for the supposed Wii game Epic Mickey. For those of you who haven’t, spoiler alert: It’s beautiful.

July 29th, 2009 · 4 Comments · RPG Bloggers Network, Tips

Alright, so time for the next part of my The Savage World Ends With You series – my notebook. This ties into two topics, really (maybe three) – my notebook, improv, and NPCs.
I haven’t decided what order my notebook is going to be in, but in my mind, one of the first pages is a [...]

[Video] Maurice Sendak Likes Where the Wild Things Are Movie

July 28th, 2009 · No Comments · Pictures and Video

I’ve been very, very worried about the Where the Wild Things Are movie, because it doesn’t seem possible to turn that book into a movie. But it’s a little bit reassuring to know Maurice Sendak, the author of the book, likes it.

Still, we’ll only find out when it comes out this October. My fingers are [...]

[The Savage World Ends With You] Expanding My GMing Horizons

July 27th, 2009 · No Comments · Feature, RPG Bloggers Network

I don’t think of myself as a particularly good GM. Although my players have fun, I don’t feel particularly satisfied, and it’s something that I’ve been trying to improve in my very short duration as a GM (well, short in terms of actual game time spent; technically I’ve been a GM for nearly a year).

[News] I Have Found My Dream Home

July 26th, 2009 · No Comments · News

It’s going to be a while before I get a home of my own, but when that time comes, I know exactly where to look: Surrey, England.

There, apparently, James May will be building an entire two-story house made out of LEGOs. Complete with a “staircase, toilet, and shower” (will the water be made of LEGOs, [...]

July 26th, 2009 · No Comments · Feature, RPG Bloggers Network

So, the Savage Worlds game I’m planning using the Savage Worlds rules is based off of the Nintendo DS game The World Ends With You. Let me tell you a little bit about The World Ends With You: it is, without a doubt, one of my favorite games ever.

[Request] I Think Power Points are Power Pointless – Can You Help?

July 25th, 2009 · 11 Comments · RPG Bloggers Network, Requests

This is the beginning of a series of posts about Savage Worlds, since I’m gearing up to hopefully run a short campaign using the ruleset. I’m planning a number of posts, about the NPCs, about the conversion (because it is based off of a video game), and about my preparation, but before any of that [...]
