Storifying Mage: The Ascension (Part 10) - Back to the Drawing Board

I've found out that there was a set of one page Microlite rules developed for the Storyteller System (there are links referring to it here and here). That doesn't mean I've given up on my project, because every link I've found to the Microlite Storyteller has been broken. I can't find the system at all, just evidence that it did exist at one stage. (If this link is it, it's certainly not what I'm after, and it even appears that I blogged about it quite some time ago.)

Some of the comments I've seen seem to allude to the idea that this microlite set of rules was generally derived from the Vampire Quickstart rules...I've got them somewhere in my game library, and I remember them being a very streamlined, bare-bones system that really capture the core elements of vampire without a lot of messy detail. So, the next step in this procedure will be to find that set of quickstart rules, read through them and see what can be harvested from it as useful pieces.

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 7)

A working computer and scanner...that means it is time to get back to work on the geomorph sequence. A lot of the discussion in this set of tutorials has been focused around square geomorphs. 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.
