Wizards are the geeks of the fantasy realm. They spend quite some time in books, prefer to spend time in a library instead of with other people, and they are frequently imagined as wearing glasses. They are the studious ones, the one that went to a university and can bend the universe with a gestureContinue reading “5 Questions Every Wizard Should Be Able to Answer”

Traveller: Using Monsters
I want to take a break from our usual Monster Wednesday for a moment and discuss the reasons to use monsters in Traveller. In games of fantasy like D&D and Pathfinder, using monsters is fairly obvious. In cases like lions and owlbears, it is a case of survival, a man vs nature story. For orcsContinue reading “Traveller: Using Monsters”
Any Traveller NPC On The Fly
When I am prepping a Traveller game to run at home or a convention, I will always take the time to stat up an NPC and come up with a full backstory. This way, I always have consistent skills, the right number of dice for weapons damage and the exact equipment the character should have.Continue reading “Any Traveller NPC On The Fly”
5 Questions Every Paladin Should Be Able to Answer
I have seen quite a few paladins in my time—both at the table and in fiction, and my favorite is O-Chul from the Order of the Stick Comics. He is what a paladin should be in my opinion, fighting for justice without overdoing it. Paladins have a stereotype of being “lawful stupid.” Frequently they appearContinue reading “5 Questions Every Paladin Should Be Able to Answer”
Traveller: Ice Goliaths
Quite literally, the first writing I did for Traveller was making monsters. I wanted to make a small monster book useful to all Traveller GMs. That book helped Jon Brazer Enterprises become what it is today. While its beginnings are humble it is still a great monster books. Today, I would like to share withContinue reading “Traveller: Ice Goliaths”
5e/Pathfinder: 3 Steps to Start GMing

Despite this, there is a yearning inside you to be the one that is not just a player in the storyContinue reading “5e/Pathfinder: 3 Steps to Start GMing”

5e: Bloodboar
I consider myself primarily a monster maker. Some specialize in new class options, adventures, magic items, or whatever. Me, I can just take a look at some piece of artwork and can just see all the ways it can tear a human to shreds, eat it alive, take over its mind, or a number ofContinue reading “5e: Bloodboar”
Traveller: Defense Walker
Previous vehicle we shared (Zargrav X-72, Zaspa T-68 Skyhopper, Cyberpuma, and Hypercycle) were not combat vehicles. Today that changes. This military walker is created by the Confederation of Worlds (Die Weltbund). Warpride and other Confederation worlds use this defensive walker to repel invaders. They travel so slow that they need airlifted to the region theyContinue reading “Traveller: Defense Walker”
