Pocketmod Goblins

This Pocketmod things really seems to be working, and it seems to run a smooth game (I'd love to get some blind playtest feeback, but the local sessions seem to be working pretty well).

I'm thinking that at some stage I might revise the concept slightly and revisit the world of the goblin tarot.

The core rules would comprise a booklet, as would the scenarios (just like the system already established). Heroes would start with a basic booklet, they'd get a second booklet to describe the kinds of ways they can motivate the goblin hordes around them. The whole system would be modified from regular playing cards and would shift toward using the goblin tarot deck as the basis of it's play.

It would be interesting to see how mass combat might occur using this type of system.

They're the easiest for most people to wrap their heads around.  But my preferred form of geomorph is based around the hexagon, these tend to produce more organic and interesting shapes. This is true for natural environments, but it's no less true for urban environments. The example set of geomorphs above as a simple two-phase system. One edge type is plain, the other edge type has a road piercing the centre. There could be dozens of combinations and permutations for each of the two phases around the hexagonal edges, but a quick look at the variety of buildings and road shapes shows that there could literally be hundreds of possible options when drawing these map fragments. But you certainly don't need to create hundreds of designs for the system to be effective. Usin...

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 1)

After numerous requests to get back to map tutorials, it's time to start our new series. This time focusing on the concept of geomorphs, modular map fragments that can be mixed and matched. We'll start with a couple of theoretical tutorials before sinking into a few more practical posts. I'm predicting a dozen or so posts in this sequence, but let's see how long it lasts.
