Soulbox: http://moves.vindexus.net/move/soulbox

by Colin “Vindexus” Kierans: http://vindexus.net

This foe has placed their soul into a magical item, protecting them from Death. The only way to kill them completely is to break the item and destroy the soul within. When you destroy the soul container to try to kill the soul inside this foe is killed outright but you are caught in the vengeful backlash of Death itself, roll+CON. On a 10+ you take 1 forward to Last Breath. On a 7-9 you take -1 ongoing to Last Breath until you can break this curse. On a 6 you roll Last Breath immediately.

Vin Move #1: Copycaster: http://moves.vindexus.net/move/copycaster

by Colin “Vindexus” Kierans: http://vindexus.net

Based on a great suggestion from Andrew Huffaker, over the next 20 issues I’ll be posting links to the 20 Vin Moves I did last year. The full project is here: http://moves.vindexus.net and here’s the first move.

Copycaster

When you are the first spell-casting member of your party to use magic where this foe can sense it they gain the ability to cast a spell from your class, roll+WIS. On a 10+, the GM will choose a level 1 spell from your class. On a 7-9 the same, but the spell must be of your level or lower. On a 6-the GM will choose a spell from your class of any level.

Two Simple Psychs Podcast with Guest Joe Banner: https://thepsychologyofgaming.com/2017/08/22/cognitive-dissonance-with-joe-banner/

by thepsychologyofgaming: https://thepsychologyofgaming.com/author/thepsychologyofgaming/

In this episode, I am joined by Joe Banner. We talk about the plethora of published works and his creative process. We also discuss motivations for independent publishing, ‘a hobby that pays its way’, and bi-directional skills between professions and games.

In the second half, Joe and I discuss Cognitive Dissonance. We talk about what it means to a story, how to implement it into role playing games, and the philosophy of healthy mental manipulation of players.

The Reaper is a playbook where you play as a champion of Death. The starting moves give you a spectral scythe and the ability to sentence people to death. There’s some cool thematic moves around dying in this.
