Närcon 2024
As with past years, my particpation at this convention was tied to Spelens Hus, and now also allied with MiFF, the equivalent organization with our local SiN, with a Spelens Hus of their own in Göteborg (Gothenburg). Based on last year, I concentrated on workshops, offering two sessions of “Understanding Role-playing” and one of “No,…

My Guy(s)
I’ve been enjoying playing multiple PCs across Champions Now, TORG, and (starting soon) Rolemaster. When I encountered this practice first-hand, it was in the GM role and in the context of ‘the crawl,’ playing Lamentations of the Flame Princess and Tunnels & Trolls. In deciding to ask each player to create 2-3 characters for these…

July 2023 Q&A
I see much underlying unity across these questions, and I hope you can too. The central concept is situation in play, which certainly needs more practical clarity among us as it relates first to texts, and also to straightforward behavior. Oddly, too, it matches with the final question concerning explicit role-playing references in music, as…

Situated characters
[This post is adapted from a Patreon post a couple of months ago. It’s relevant to the March Q&A so I’ve made it public here.] I’ve been thinking about a practical aspect of preparation which feeds into qualities of play. It boils down to a simple question: does whoever’s making up important aspects of the…

Real-life trollbabes adventure on their own terms!
So, last time I played Trollbabe was almost exactly three years ago, and as documented by this post on La Locanda, it didn’t go too well. Some years of Adept Play courses and constantly playing The Pool later, and re-analyzing Trollbabe through that experience, and I felt very confident to pick up the game again…

February 2023 Q&A
Lucky 13th time – I hope you like it, because this was a beast of a question series, across a wide variety of topics. I even get to revisit the Finding D&D series regarding current IP/OGL shenanigans. I promised Alessio a couple of links so here they are: Presentation: Why Glorantha (and its games) and…

July Q and A
These are some very think-y questions! Including a lot about beasts and monsters. I want to clarify some things about my response to Sean. First, here are the three “roots” of critical hits in text. They’re not intended to be in order, as I think they were simultaneous at this scale of history: Here’s the…

Q and A bucketload
For the last few months, I’ve invited patrons to ask me things, which I grapple with and collect as a presentation at the beginning of each month.. I can’t say I really answer them in an Ask Advice fashion, although you’ll certainly learn what I think. Sometimes it’s “I don’t know.” The embedded link goes…
