With a small change in personnel from last week we are missing The Captain, but are joined by Ben playing Balock, a specialist. Planning for this campaign I used the approach take by Steve in his RuneQuest game - a session will go ahead if we have at least 3 players, and rather than construct … Continue reading Better Than Any Man: Double Vision
I've GM'd LotFP RAW and it runs great, but I wanted a few tweaks for Better Than Any Man. This is a well trodden path and there are lots of house rules out there, many focused on one or two items, and a couple of complete and significant sets such as Ten Foot Polemic's Unified … Continue reading Lamentations of the Flame Princess House Rules
For weeks now I've been preparing to run Better Than Any Man, the 2013 Free RPG Day offering from Lamentations of the Flame Princess. After printing and binding the PDF I've read it through a couple of times at least; there's so much great stuff in here that I can't talk about without giving spoilers. … Continue reading Better Than Any Man: A Stranger Storm rages

We were also missing the strong arm and directness of Blegrim. Now according to Google a Hero is: a person who is admired … Continue reading Lunchtime Lairs 5: Eat cheese, live longer
Last session we left our heroes in a diseased flesh filled underground cavern which they had set on fire while trying to rescue Olga's daughter Mina from Elias Goldtongue and the psychic space beetle. Andromeda was able to slap Faqual out of his brain addled state and they were both able to help Romula free … Continue reading Lunchtime Lairs 4: Underground Inferno
A quick recap. Temple, rescue daughter, guards, disease, fights, heads rolled, blood splattered, spell casting priest and a weird, monstrous, psychic, teleporting space beetle.
