Thanks to Dungeon World, I’ve dove headfirst into tabletop games and GMing.

My new game is out!! It’s a GM-less storytelling Card game that is Pay What you want, and all proceeds go to charity.

Welcome Minions! is a game of friendly bickering, plotting, and planning. If you’ve ever seen henchmen and mooks argue with one another while bumbling the simplest missions, then you’ll know how to play this game. Please your master and earn his favor while you sabotage and plot against your fellow minions!

All you need to play is a deck of cards, and 3-10 people who don’t mind plotting against one another! A great party game for all ages! Games can last 20 minutes, or go on all night. Let your creativity and fiendishness combine to create a fun and whacky night of crazy adventures! Welcome Minions! is very simple, and easy to play! For ages 7 to 97. Note: This game is unfit for human consumption, and should only be played by Minions, Mooks, or Henchmen.

After getting much use from Johnstone Metzger’s fantastic books, I must find them a new home.

After getting much use from Johnstone Metzger’s fantastic books, I must find them a new home. I’m in the middle of wedding planning, and an extra $75 would go a long way towards helping us survive. Bought new, these books would cost you over $100! Anyone interested?

Includes:

Ghostwood Haunts

RK1: Knives in the Dark

RK2 Evil Wizards in a Cave

RK3 The Third Verse

DW1: Lair of the Unknown

Dungeon World Reference

and one other one I can’t remember right now….gotta find it somewhere.

Originally for Dungeon World, this should work fine for any variant of that.

I wrote up a quick blog post for Players. There’s so much advice for GMs, but not as much for players. Let me know if you find this useful, or If there are other resources I can include. Happy Gaming!

Just received my copy of GrimWorld!

Just received my copy of GrimWorld! Man, I’m so excited to dig into this and apply this stuff for my numenera campaign. I’ll have a write-up and review within the next week or so on my blog. schirduans.com. 

This is easily one of the prettiest tabletop books I’ve ever laid eyes upon. The “dirty” weathered beatup style is gorgeous!

Anyone looking for inspiration for their next campaign?

I purchased these 6 Dungeon World Adventures and Modules from Johnstone Metzger, and have gotten much use out of them, because they are EXCELLENT! Now, I think it’s time for them to find a NEW home.

I’m selling all of them in a bundle!

The Third Verse – 

Truncheon World

Knives in the Dark

Ghostwood Haunts

Lair of the Unknown

Evil Wizards in a Cave ( I have 2 of these)

If purchased on Hulu, they would cost $100 (not including S&H), but if you ACT NOW, I’ll ship them to you for $60 (includes S&H). message me if you’re interested, or if you only want certain ones.

I live in the US for shipping purposes.

This is a really neat idea to add variety to your combat descriptions.

Shameless plug for Numenera, the new story-driven game from Monte Cook.

Shameless plug for Numenera, the new story-driven game from Monte Cook. All of the skills the Dungeon World taught me transfer perfectly to Numenera! I’m taking a break from Dungeon World to get a little more mechanics for my players (from their own request).

But, I’ll keep using the setting and monsters for Dungeon World. This is the only game I know where Monster creation is easier than DW.

TL;DR Highly recommended, in a very similar vein as *World games, but with a bit more of a mechanical feel. AND I get to use my d20s! I missed those guys.
