Character Creation Challenge 19: Furies of the Barrens
This Black Hack-based game is kind of Dark Sun-ish, but only in a general sense, the setting has a weird style of its own with many strange creatures (playable as well as monsters) well outside the standard D&D-fare. Instead of … Continue reading

This Horror / Dark Urban Fantasy game from Palladium Games, written by CJ Carella (of Witchcraft fame), bears more than a little resemblance to Clive Barker’s Nightbreed. PCs are the eponymous nightbane, humans turned into monstrous creatures after an event … Continue reading
Character Creation Challenge 12: The Mecha Hack
This is a tabletop roleplaying game of titanic war machines and their intrepid pilots, made with The Black Hack. I rolled really bad stats for both Mobility (tested for speed and avoiding damage) and Systems (tested for sensors and computers), … Continue reading
