Before there was the City, there was a village. They worshipped Aren, the God King, the Benevolent Master, the creator of Fire and Ice and everything in between. They would send him tribute, and in return he gave them protection and ensured their success.
Then the elves of the forges came to the city, bringing with [...]

[The City] Religion of the City – Three Gods
February 6th, 2010 · 2 Comments · RPG Bloggers Network, Settings
The Gods of the City are not constant. They are ever-changing, subject to the whims of those who dwell within. There are three ways they form and gain power:
Pure, unadulterated belief in their power.
Adherence to an ideal that the deity embodies.
A physical representation of the deity that has been blessed by a cleric.
Since the Shift, [...]

[Review] Three Articles You Must Check Out in Kobold Quarterly 12
January 26th, 2010 · No Comments · RPG Bloggers Network, Review
I really had trouble picking out three articles from the most recent issue of Kobold Quarterly. Not that it’s a bad issue – the exact opposite, it’s amazing! Too good, that I couldn’t just pick three articles. But I knew that if I tried to make it longer, then eventually the list would spiral out [...]
[The City] The Races of the City
January 23rd, 2010 · 2 Comments · RPG Bloggers Network, Settings
Alright, next step: what are the roles of the races in the City? I knew from the start that I wanted to incorporate the whole Core Rulebook, but I didn’t want everything to be the same standard race they always were. So here’s what I came up with.
Humans are the oppressed majority in the City. [...]

[The City] A Brief Introduction
January 15th, 2010 · 4 Comments · RPG Bloggers Network, Settings
Recently, I had an idea for a Pathfinder steampunk fantasy setting. Not Eberron-style, though I really love Eberron. I was aiming for a grittier setting, almost cyberpunk but without the oppressive regime overtones (whether or not I’ve succeeded in getting rid of those, I’m not sure yet). It’s still in draft form, but I figured [...]

[Pathfinder] Magic Item – Eye of the Medusa
December 13th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Game Material, RPG Bloggers Network
I was briefly considering entering the Paizo RPG Superstar competition this year (the jury’s still out on whether I’m going to or not), so I quickly decided to whip up a magic item just for practice. It’s not very original, but it’s alright for a first try:
Eye of Medusa
Aura: evocation; CL 7th
Slot: none; Weight: 1 lb; Price: 9500 gp
Description
The eye of [...]

[Review] Flavor of Pact Magic
November 27th, 2009 · 6 Comments · RPG Bloggers Network, Review
I was a little bit tentative when I saw the website for Secrets of Pact Magic. After all, it describes itself as “an inspired, fantasy role-playing version of real-world pact magic” based off of magic “described in various texts dating back to at least the 17th century in the Ars Goetia, which is the first section [...]
[Review] Random, Incoherent Mumblings about Pathfinder
October 17th, 2009 · 3 Comments · RPG Bloggers Network, Review
This is coming about a month and a half later than it should, so sorry about the delay in getting this out.
The first RPG book I owned was the 3.5 PHB – it’s up there in the allgeektout banner pic if you look. It was a few years ago, and I had no idea what [...]
