What published RPG do you wish you were playing right now?


I'm watching Cloud Atlas as I write this, and I'm reminded of how badly I've seen time travel handled in numerous games. I've been wanting a good time travel game, I even tried my hand at writing a time travel game almost a decade ago. As I write this, I'm also reminded that the Humble Bundle at the moment is a collection of the Doctor Who RPG. I' really been meaning to get in on this one, but with a day or so to go, and almost a week until pay day, I might miss the chance. 

We're big Dr Who fans in this house, and having a game that covers every era of the shows very tempting, especially when I've generally been hearing good things good things about the gameplay mechanisms in this iteration of the game. 

I'm sure there are dozens of other games that I probably should be playing now, maybe Blades in the Dark, maybe an OSR retroclone, but this is the one that sits in my mind as I write this blog entry.

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.
