Well, another ‘ramblings’ post, a fight club article coming soon!
There are many Dungeon Generators, like this one. To be honest, I have never used any of them and I don’t intend to. Let me tell you why I think such utilities are almost useless in RPG.I guess it depends on what you want from role-playing […]

Here I present you a plan, originally made by Joseph Cambell, based on various similarities in myths and legends from different parts of the world. It suits books and movie scenarios, so it suits RPG as well. You can combine it with Campaing Plan. Let’s get to the point. This is a plan of […]

Once more, a rather short post. Quick thought, I would say. I usually write such things, when I don’t have time to write something longer, but, also, less text in posts leaves more place for comments, ideas of readers (see Psychological motives of a character’s choice). So, let’s get straight to the point.Today, as I […]

For GMs to be more precise, but everyone will have fun reading. See here for part. 1.
1. The only sessions, on which there is more fighting than in hack&slashes, are detective games.2. At least one player knows the rules better than you do.3. At least half of the players think they know rules better than […]

Again one more quick and probably well-known link. I just want to share with you guys some of my favourite web pages.What am I talking about this time?

please forgive me, the post is going to be very loose and chaotic in style. Mea culpa.

Well. I tried a What’s your inner dragon quiz today (thanks for www.dungeonmastering.com for the link). It seems that I am a Thunder Drake, but that’s not what I want to write about. The thing is what it […]

This time, in a rather short post, I would like to discuss pros and cons of playing RPG at night. Recently, my games have been starting at 9 pm so, it is quite late. Especially, because when we finally begin playing, it is usually half past 10. When we finish it is about 1, 2 […]

I am happy to inform that I wrote a guest post on www.DungeonMastering.com , so be sure to check out Murphy’s Law - RPG edition!
Also, there will be more Murphy’s laws here on rpgthoughts.com soon, so stay tuned!
 

This part of Fight Club will concentrate on why to fight and how to fight. Or something like that…
