Cross Planes
"Or how I learned to stop worrying and love D&D"
http://crossplanes.blogspot.com/
I gotta admit I love the alt-title. It is something I have said in the past myself in connection with getting out of the Edition War mindset. Cross Planes/Mark Craddock is also very much a non-participant in the Edition Wars. He talks about D&D Next (and he was the first place where I found out the new packet was out). He is also into Dragon Age and I'll admit that reading over his site today has made we want to check out the RPG or computer game again. So much so I did this even:
What Dragon Age: Origins Character Are You?Hosted By theOtaku.com: Anime
Well was there ever a doubt?
He also did a couple of witch builds for D&D Next a Maiden and Mother. Don't know if he did a Crone at all. What I like about this blog is Mark covers a lot of topics and games. Single purpose blogs are great, and if I want to do a deep dive into a system that is what I need. But I also enjoy the daily reading of the general purpose blog (like this one and my own) to get a variety of topics. Plus he playing his games with his two daughters, how awesome is that?
Silver Divinity

I actually found this one from my Monstrous Monday Blogfest a while back and again on the Blog Blitz. One of my favorite monsters from the MM Blogfest was his Zombie Cow.
The author of this blog, John, is working on a game project "Silver Divinity" and the blog is his proving ground/sounding board/beta tester.
So far the game itself sounds very cool. It feels like a Steampunk meets Spelljammer sort of thing if I am reading it all right. If so then that is cool. The stats for the races look like d20/OGL so that makes that easier to understand. The blog is only 7 months old and he is still posting ideas to flesh out. So I expect to see some more interesting things in the future.
In the meantime stop on by and see what he has done so far.
This week I am running my irregular feature "The Best Blog You Are Not Reading" every day. If you can instead of replying here, go to the blogs I am featuring and reply there. I think the owners would like that.
Thank you for including my blog!
ReplyDeleteI had fun with the zombie cow idea for that blogfest.
Your analysis of my game project pretty well describes it.
I do have enough written down to actually play the game, but trying to figure out how I want to put it on there is what I'm working on at times.
Thanks again
Yea! John is a good guy he's from my neck of the woods and has even sat at my table to game!
ReplyDeleteERIC!
I need to sit at your table again.
ReplyDeleteIt was loads of fun and between playing that with ya'll and the friends my wife and I have in St. Louis I've gotten bored playing games with people with no imagination.
