You may have noticed that my plan to run updates throughout March hasn't gotten off to the best start. It's been a busy couple of weeks, but I'm getting back into it. Normal service resumes now! The Bureaucracy is the official government system for the islands of the Incorporated Islands of the Pacific Commonwealth, … Continue reading B is for: Bureaucracy

A – Z March: Cyberpunk
A while ago I put together a cyberpunk setting to run in FATE, but I never really explored it beyond a couple of games. But I still have all the ideas in my head. So, for the month of March, I'm going to try and run a post every day detailing one thing about … Continue reading A – Z March: Cyberpunk
Don’t call it a comeback
Because that would be far too premature! It's been about 18 months since I've posted anything to this blog, and maybe a year since I feel like I've written anything meaningful. But there's still the constant buzz in my head of ideas, I'm just a bit crap at bothering to write them down anywhere! … Continue reading Don’t call it a comeback
Redux! Worlds of the Ginnungagap
How soon is too soon for a retcon? NEVER! I was unhappy with the cosmology I'd created, so I've tweaked it a little bit, and it should be a better fit for how I want the game to be set up. I actually started writing this a couple of days after my last post, but … Continue reading Redux! Worlds of the Ginnungagap
Worlds of the Ginnungagap
Sköll - The star at the center of the system. Having knocked out system-wide communication on more than one occasion due to large solar flares, the word became a synonym for 'treachery', due to being both a life-giver and life-stealer. Midgard - Now home to all races, this world was once the sole domain of men, excepting … Continue reading Worlds of the Ginnungagap
More Space Viking Nonsense
Well, I've bought myself a cheap USB keyboard and I can actually write these posts easily again!, so I've started pulling the various strands together, and tried to collate something that could actually play. The biggest issue that I currently have is that I'm really enjoying the setting and how it's forming, and whilst I have some … Continue reading More Space Viking Nonsense
B is for: Broken Circle
The Broken Circle are perhaps the largest secret society active in the city of Queenstown, with a handle of operations elsewhere. The Circle, as it was once known, was a secret order of thieves and assassins working for themselves or for hire by the very wealthy. Led by a council of elite members, the Higher … Continue reading B is for: Broken Circle
Three month gap
So it's been almost three months since my last blog post. I'm really terrible at keeping these things going sometimes. I am resolving to kick this back into gear though. So, what's going on? Playing through the Lost Mines of Phandelvar adventure for D&D 5E with my usual group. And I'm PLAYING, not DMing, which … Continue reading Three month gap
Cortex Plus Old Crown pt. 1
I've been pretty quiet for a while. I had a series of posts planned out, but then when one didn't post and I lost it, I got a little behind schedule. I'm going to try and catch up in the next few days, so I can start the new year on a high! Speaking of … Continue reading Cortex Plus Old Crown pt. 1
Magic in the Old Crown: A quick overview of how it fits together
Here are a quick few thoughts on how magic is now working in the setting. I'm not throwing rules in with this yet, as I'm still working some of them out. This is more for flavour. First, a word on elements of magic/nature. The forces of elemental magic at work in the Old Crown, and … Continue reading Magic in the Old Crown: A quick overview of how it fits together
L5R 4E Topaz Championship session 2
For part one, see here. We started the session a little late, owing to using the gang to move some boxes over to my new house before we began. Also, pizza. It might be very apparent that I've made the tournament a lot bigger. The players all decided they wanted to play as Crab, so … Continue reading L5R 4E Topaz Championship session 2
For lack of a better post
I had hoped I would be able to keep updating to this new blog without slowing down or missing opportunities, or not having much to say. Sadly, it seems I'm not in the most creative mood recently. I'm moving house in the next couple of weeks, so maybe the fresh scenery will encourage me. Hopefully … Continue reading For lack of a better post
L5R 4E Topaz Championship session 1
I think that went rather well. So last night we all sat down, finished off some character creation issues (mostly the shugenja's spells), and set off for Tsuma! We didn't get much further than the gates of the town, but on the way the characters ran into Megumi and brewed some lovely tea (although not … Continue reading L5R 4E Topaz Championship session 1
Brainstorming
Whilst I'm obviously very busy working in the dungeon of the local hospital, I'm also busy brainstorming the road to Tsuma for the start of the Topaz Championship tonight. Not sure what my three young Crab samurai will make of Megumi, but hopefully they'll enjoy it.
Happenings
Well I just missed four goals in the world cup from going to do the washing up. More fool me, right?So here's the happenings recently:I've been putting some work in on my setting. Pretty happy with how magic is forming, but I really need to sit down and get the section on the Ascended/gods done. … Continue reading Happenings

On Beastkin
Beastkin live in the wild places of the world, finding themselves most at home in the heart of nature, and rarely stray too far from the spirits of their ancestral homes. The greatest penalty for transgression in a Beastkin tribe is exile. Branded as a mark of shame, they can find no home with any … Continue reading On Beastkin
The Rookery
The Rookery is the home of the Circle, a vicious gang of thieves and killers. The various ward marshals of Queenstown would like nothing more than to infiltrate the gang, especially so that they can locate the Rookery. How long it will take them to look above the city streets has become the basis of … Continue reading The Rookery
