Fermentvm Nigrvm Dei Sepvlti Reviews

gordsellar0 Comments

So, it’s been a few months since Fermentvm Nigrvm Dei Sepvlti was released! During that time, there’s been some mostly-favorable reviews posted: The first appeared at Save vs. Player Agency: Fermentum is an inspiring and substantial addition to the Lamentations of the Flame Princess product line-up, at over double the size of the largest of 2019’s offerings. It is at once something new and impressive from a new (to our hobby bookshelves anyway) and impressive author, and entirely at home thematically and aesthetically with the existing Lamentations of the Flame Princess range. I highly recommend it! Next, a review appeared …

FERMENTVM NIGRVM DEI SEPVLTI Now Out!

gordsellar0 Comments

So, my first real RPG project has been published as of a few weeks ago, and it out in the wild! It’s bananas seeing pictures being posted and seeing the first few reactions to it out there. I haven’t posted about it here because, let’s face it, the blog has lain mostly dormant for years. (Long story, for another time.) But man, look at this book: The adventure is set in a brewing monastery, because, you know, write what you know? Okay, I’m not a monk, but I know a fair bit about beer and historical brewing, and was reading …

She Bleeds by Elizabeth Chaipraditkul

Update (20 April 2019): I’m not sure why I never posted this, but anyway, I just discovered this among my draft posts. Maybe I was planning to publish thoughts on all four of the Gen Con LotFP books at once? I’m not sure, but anyway, I’m busy and the other Gen Con books (which I have, but which I haven’t looked at yet) will have to wait, so I’m putting this out there now.  Original Post (20 January 2019): This is a quick look at Elizabeth Chaipraditkul’s She Bleeds supplement for Lamentations of the Flame Princess. As the back cover text reads: …

Free RPG Day/Playtest: Eldritch Cock Meets the Wizard’s Tower

gordsellar3 Comments

Though I’ve got more serious news I’m still processing, this post isn’t about that. It’s game stuff.  Sunday was a kill-two-birds-with-one-stone kind of a day. I was signed up to run the Lamentations of the Flame Princess table at the Free RPG Day event at Dice Latte in Seoul, so I figured I might as well give that adventure I’ve been revising—the one I discussed drafting here—one more quick playtest. The adventure involve’s a wizard’s tower, which was a good fit for this year’s LotFP Free RPG book, Eldritch Cock—a book of demented, cool spells using the same spellcasting rules …

The Essentials – #RPGaDay 2017, Day 27

gordsellar0 Comments

August is RPGaDay month. Yep, a month solid of RPG-related posts, answering these questions: Today’s question is this: What are your essential tools for good gaming? When I was younger, there was a time when I used to feel like I needed everything on hand for running a game. This was in the long-ago Forgotten Realms phase, when I would bring every damned supplement I owned along. I rarely looked in them, but you know… even if the characters were in the Jungles of Chult (way down south) you could never be sure they wouldn’t end up in Icewind Dale, …

Pay What You Want as a Strategy – #RPGaDay 2017, Day 24

gordsellar0 Comments

August is RPGaDay month. Yep, a month solid of RPG-related posts, answering these questions: Today’s question is this: Share a PWYW (Pay What You Want) publisher who should be charging more.  I’ll confess, I don’t use a lot of Pay What You Want products. A few, here and there, but not many. I tend to find PWYW products are sometimes okay, but usually not so exciting that I want to go back and pay for their products, because I so rarely use them. (If I ever were to do so, I’d definitely go back and pay a fair price.) That said, …

Frankensteining Games (#RPGaDay 2017, Day 15)

gordsellar6 Comments

August is RPGaDay month. Yep, a month solid of RPG-related posts, answering these questions: Today’s question is this: Which RPG do you enjoy adapting the most? For me, the answer’s easy: it’s D&D. Now, when I say D&D you should bear in mind that the only D&D-type ruleset I have on hand right now is Lamentations of the Flame Princess. (I have a ton of AD&D 1st and 2nd edition stuff back in Canada, but in Korea, despite having about five feet of shelf space devoted to RPG books, the only D&D-type books I have fit into a single shelf.) …
