How to build a dungeon?
A little question by Sam about how to create an adventure (as an excuse for using the Random Esoteric Creature Generator) for LOTFP lead me to write this answer. Sam’s point was about “creating an adventure that is a garden for emergent story”. I was in this exact situation a few months before and this…

The Clay That Woke
The Clay That Woke is a wonderful game to play. You play male minotaurs living as denizens in the ruins of the remains of a decadent civilization – with its very high culture only living as shadow of itself, but this shadow is still giving you a glance of the high wonderfulness of this society.…

As I said in this previous post I realize that the way I handle the preparation of a Sorcerer game pushes me in a paralyzing swamp that impede me to GM the game. It’s the third time I experience this for the game, as GM, with three paused games for the same reason. Here is the…
