Latest episode is here! I have Jason Cordova from the Gauntlet as a guest and we talk about the divide between indie and traditional gaming.
A very good episode with the Pod Couple! (If I do say so myself)

I thought I’d seen a list of names for arcane tomes or somesuch in one of the Codex issues, but now that I’m looking through my collection, I can’t seem to find it. Closest I came were the books in Codex Yellow, but I really thought there was a list of evil, medieval tomes somewhere. Or am I making that up?
It’s a brand new episode of +1 Forward!
It’s a brand new episode of +1 Forward! This one has The Sword, The Crown, and the Unspeakable Power from Wheeltree Press. I have the distinct pleasure of talking to Todd Nicholas about his Game of Thrones-y PbtA game.

We’d like to do some crowdsourcing for the miscellany in Codex – Glamour.
We’d like to do some crowdsourcing for the miscellany in Codex – Glamour. The miscellany is called “Three Dozen Cultural Fashion Items.” Submissions need to be a single sentence, or 2-3 short sentences. By submitting here, you’re agreeing to let us use it (you’ll get a credit on the issue). We’re looking for evocative things; the purpose of the miscellany is to inspire the reader.
We need three pieces of information for each entry: 1) A name or description of a group, 2) an item of clothing or accessory they are known to wear, and 3) the significance of that item of clothing or accessory. Your entries can be from any genre. They should not be from real-world cultures.
Here are some examples:
“House Casterwain has many ancient enemies and is always engaged in some sort of feud or power struggle. The men and women of the family have taken to wearing rows of ruby studs in their ears, each representing a foiled attempt on their life. Newborn Casterwains are given a ruby-studded pacifier if they survived such an attempt while in the womb.”
“The citizens of the City of Carcosa, ever-mindful of the way the strange energies flowing through the Yellow Metropolis alter one’s perceptions of other people, have taken to wearing large, fashionable veils that completely obscure the face, so as to minimize the fright or confusion associated with apparent, sudden transmogrification.”
“The Devil Sharks street racing gang are said to have access to a ‘third eye,’ a well of psychic sensitivity that helps them safely negotiate the streets of Neo-Mumbai at blinding speeds. Whether this is true or not is unknown, but each member of the gang receives a stylized, personalized eyeball tattoo on their forehead in order to reinforce the brand.”
(And thanks to Yoshi Creelman for this miscellany)

Here is a link to Dungeon World Basics 03. In this one, we cover the non-combat Basic Moves, such as Discern Realities, Defy Danger, Parley, and more!
If you are new to Dungeon World, know someone who is trying to get a handle on the game, or just need a refresher, this series is for you.

Character Keeper – Part II
Character Keeper – Part II
So, after 107 votes in my original poll, Dungeon World came out as the winner with 46% of the votes!
Firstly, thank you all for participating.
Secondly, I still need your help one last time before I start working.
DW as been out for some time now, so the original version is starting to show its age.
Which one of the following versions should I use to make the character keeper?
(Please note that Adventure Worlds v0.3 is not out yet but should be soon so choosing that option may delay the work a bit).
Again, thanks for your help! 🙂
Happy Saturday Ya’ll
Happy Saturday Ya’ll,
If a fit of shameless self-promotion and general bubbly pride at my player’s for a campaign I am running for my podcast, I wanted to share an episode with you. With the joke aside, in the Slack there was a conversation about character death. A lot of things were swirling around, but one of my main thoughts when it comes to the death of a character is to give the player space, let them take over for a bit if the scene allows, and (something I’m still trying to employ) let that character’s actions and personality resonate through the rest of the campaign. In this episode (SPOILERS*)
https://www.thechimaera.com/chimaeracast/2018/5/9/series-iv-chapter-iii
someone dies.
I won’t tell you who, but it comes as a surprise and we are not very deep into the campaign so far. Things just started to steamroll and some big fails lead to some tough consequences. I just wanted to put this out here as my contribution to the ongoing conversation about how we treat character death at the table.
If you have thoughts, please feel free!
Cheers!

For D&D-esque games, how would the Chinese folks here localize the ability scores in Chinese?

力量 – Strength
灵巧 – Dexterity
耐力 – Constitution
知识 – Intelligence
智慧 – Wisdom
魅力 – Charisma
I’m taking some liberties with both Constitution and Intelligence, because of how they’re frequently used – in Lamentations of the Flame Princess specifically, Intelligence is a sum of your knowledge. It doesn’t supplant player logic. And then I can’t really find a non-awkward way to translate “Constitution” – there’s a word for physique but to me it connotes bodybuilding and strength? And then 耐力 connotes stuff about resolve and determination. Neither is really great for it.
