Walking Dead Braunstein/Cataphract-Like A cool idea I had:     Rather important readings: Sam Sorensen's Cataphract Design Diary Mythic Mountain Musing's Traveller Braunstein  

Pseudo-Pseudohistorical Logistics Pseudo-Pseudohistorical Violence Master Page   I am hoping to actually bring these rules to the table soon, so I am going to be getting into some of the more nitty-gritty and logistical aspects of running the game. My original version of this post got overwritten on accident. I think I put everything back in though… Encumbrance You have two hands! 4 belt slots (His Majesty the Worm Style): these are the items you can access much more quickly. Light armour occupies one of these slots, medium two, and heavy three. For additional carrying capacity, you have a few options. For a pack, you can either have a Satchel: 4 slots Backpack: 8 slots; encumbering and if that just isn't enough, you can use Small sack: 4 slots, occupies a hand. Large sack: 12 slots, occupies both hands; encumbering. Edit: Originally large sacks were 8 slots, but Phlox of Whose Measure God Could Not Take pointed out that made it strictly worse tha...

Alternative Holy Magic for Dolmenwood's Pluritine Church  Prelude  I swear this isn’t supposed to be a Luke Gearing fan blog. Also, this is at least nominally related to pseudo-pseudohistorical violence so I can pretend I am making progress on a current project instead of starting a new one. Basically required reading: Luke Gearing's Grand Unified Theory of Magic and Religion  Very highly suggested reading: Elmcat's Kill Clerics Become Warlocks  Dododecahedron's Classless Clerics  I found all three of these blog posts incredibly inspiring in the matter of “fixing” clerics. I have never been satisfied with the way clerics work as a class—much has been written about this, especially in posts from Prismatic Wastelands’s Cleric Blog Bandwagon—but invoking the power of a deity should not work the same as a wizard casts spells.  I am also just a sucker for bespoke and unique magic systems, I think having bespoke forms of supernatural powers can really make magic ...

   Pseudo-Pseudohistorical Violence: Character Creation Pseudo-Pseudohistorical Violence Master Page   This is part of my ongoing project to flesh out Luke Gearing's Pseudohistorical Violence for a home game. I thought about doing completely random character generation, but I decided instead to let players pick a class and then roll a d4 for a random boon. Some of the classes are incomplete, so either stay tuned or make your own I guess :) All characters start with some adventuring gear and 3d6 gold pieces.  (I would use the quick equipment table from OSE Carcass Crawler #something or other) . Also I reference Dolmenwood a lot because I think I'm going to use this weird funky system in the Dolmenwood setting because I like it. Kill two birds with one stone you know?  In addition to this, each player should get one non-adventuring skill related to a previous profession or something, mostly because I want to roll on the big d100 table from DCC. Knight You are some...
