Rolled a 4. I wanted to make my own reaction table. I like them. I spent half an hour looking at reaction tables and then the next morning made my own without looking at them again. I didn’t want to reinvent the wheel but also wanted to make my own. It’s a 2d6 table cause

From the cover of Mausritter. … well, my game at least. I’ve been staying at a holiday home on the coast this week. My little family and another little family. Four adults and two little people. It is probably unsurprising that with two babies who don’t love sleeping in the house we didn’t have a

5e is fine. It’s fine. But… It’s also a little boring and not dangerous (I will be taking no questions at this time). I have been playing with and investigating other RPGs to bolt onto this West Marches game. RPGs that add to context, not detract from it. There is a heap of

I started writing this in April. It is now July. A prime example of why I want my game to be efficient. Sorry for the delay, I will be working on a few in the coming weeks. I am a father, husband, teacher, writer, podcaster, and like to play TTRPG’s. That’s a lot of

I suppose I should talk a little about character creation. They can use the Player’s Handbook. That’s it. That’s the blog. Not really. There is a little more to this. For example, they can use any method they like for stats. Standard array, point buy, or they can roll for it. However, if they roll,
