The Chronicles of Afterlight - Post Apocalyptic Far Future Medieval fantasy Setting

Image
 Today, I introduce my long-time phantasmal reverie of The Chronicles of Afterlight. Imagine a world that is our Earth but an alternate one far across the cosmic void between universes. In this alternate Earth in the late 21st century, more precisely, August 23rd, 2093 C.E., a tear in the fabric of reality occurred. Experiments in Hyperspace pylons lead to rifts into the void between worlds. These experiments didn't immediately destroy civilization; however, the daemonic entities' insidious corruption of people in power from the void began. Over the next 60 years, life became all the worse for everyone and everything on Earth. The tremendous social progress society had made in the 20th and 21st centuries slowly but indeed got stripped away. The power to change society was left in the irreparably damaged hands of contemptible, chaos-corrupted politicians and demagogues. The ecological damage caused by the Industrial Revolution and its after-effects continued after decades of re...

In Memoriam - Azrimmyr Bronzehammer

Image
  2 weeks ago I played my last session in C&C with the first character I played in C&C, Azrimmyr Bronzehammer. Azrimmyr was a dwarven Noble of Clan Bronzehammer. He was among the first of his Clan to join as a chosen cleric of Morg the Creator, God of the Forge and God of Law, King of the Gods, who manifests as a Dwarf. Ultimately however after months of adventuring and gaining much fame and fortune, he found himself with his party in the forest of Kriton in the land of Kokestos. Kokestos is an alien culture compared to the land of Evermoor. Whereas Evermoor is an egalitarian culture, Kokestos is a Matriarchy where men are forced to stay indoors after nightfall. All women in Kokestos are in positions of power and conflict. The issue also lies in the fact that there is an Evil Cleric in Kokestos who is spreading chaos and evil. Through Kokestos Azrimmyr and Shadow Wolf trudged until they finally saw the eaves of the Forest of Kriton. As the duo entered they traveled for a fe...

 So recently I watched a web show for a Modern Reimagining for Scooby Doo. It is available on YouTube here - Mystery Incorporated - Pilot - Welcome to Coolsville .

  B2 Baby! The Keep on the Borderlands. I have run it 2 times and both times were a lot of fun. First I used D&D 5e and then I used Basic Fantasy RPG. If you are new to TTRPGs I highly recommend taking a look at this adventure.

Boosting the Signal! - Wasted Lands: The Dreaming Age

Image
 Today is the day you become Gods. Ere you lose that chance I beg you to choose divinity over death and dishonor. This is the day that you will achieve excellence in Tabletop Roleplaying Games, for there is a new game on the horizon: Wasted Lands: The Dreaming Age. Welcome to my blog. I hope to boost the signal of a fantastic looking TTRPG called Wasted Lands: The Dreaming Age. A Lovecraftian Sword and Sorcery OSR RPG wherein the rules are customizable and the setting is optional. Do you want to play a straight sword and sorcery campaign akin to Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, Elric, or Conan, go for it. How about playing a traditional fantasy game with dwarves, elves, orcs, and dragons? You got it. Or you can play as characters who become Gods whose adventures will echo through the ages. It would be best if I described the setting of The Dreaming Age a bit. The Dreaming Age is our own Earth 65 million years ago. You see when the Gods of the Cthulhu Mythos went to sleep the stars reall...

In the year of our Lord 2020, some folks got together to ruin the OSR for everyone else. They became known as the BrOSR. Led by the inimical and foul wretch known as Jeffro the Vacuous they nearly destroyed the free peoples of the TTTRG Community. However, in the 3-year war that the BrOSR waged there came a conclave of heroes, adventurers, and sellswords, and unto this arose a New Movement known as The NachOSR. Led by YoDanno the Historiarch of Fantasy legende, PlanteX Games, The Honorable Reverend Doctor - James "Grim" Desborough, Lemmy the Great, RuneHammer the magnificent, Stockholm Kartell, DreamAkuma, and Your Mother NachOSR is 1.
