Craggenloch Tribune: Legend of the 5 Rings Samurai - GLOG
I love Legend of the 5 Rings, or more accurately I love its setting of Rokugan. It is not an attempt at authenticity to feudal Japan, rather...| craggenloch.blogspot.com
Just getting on the semi-regular GLOG bandwagon for single-level Cloak-and-Sword classes, this one comes from the future.| craggenloch.blogspot.com

Intended to accompany Skerple's components system here. Also maybe belated bandwagonning?| Craggenloch Tribune
Clerics are odd ducks. Their classical image of the mailed crusader with a religious proscription against wielding bladed weapons deliberately evokes medieval warrior-priests of the Archbishop Turpin and Odo of Bayeux vein. But while those fellows were members of a powerful Church with clear heirarchy and vast political power, the adventuring cleric is free to roam the backroads and wildnerness, associating with thieves, bandits and witches, and if they run afoul of the authorities they can e...| Craggenloch Tribune
Originally intended to be GLOGTOBER content, but that ship has long since sailed, ho-hum.| Craggenloch Tribune
The common man has infinite options available to them, and like the diffuse rays of the sun their will presses itself only lightly upon the World. The true master prunes his will, aligns and collimates it, as a lens focuses light into a narrow point - and the World burns beneath it.| Craggenloch Tribune
Why not just take one spell from DCC and turn it into a whole GLOG wizard? Yeah, lets do that.| Craggenloch Tribune
Extract from Ode Diminutis Propinquis Hominum: Demi-humans and Their Habits, by master wizard Athanasious Great-Wand, called "the Glaucous".| Craggenloch Tribune
Megara is a world where the spoken word carries a lot of weight, all magic comes from Words of the lingua supernal, the ontologically perfect language from which the One God sung the world into being. If you are a sorcerer then you already speak lingua supernal, albeit like a grunting beast that has been taught to yowl a roughly understandable approximation of it's immaculate beauty. It's not really the sort of thing you use to converse with other mortals though, for its clarity of meaning is...| Craggenloch Tribune
A conversion of Locheil's Rotless, which I have been having tremendous fun playing in his Qal Ashen game, for Ransack by Justin Todd, who also writes a damn fine game;| Craggenloch Tribune
This being a play report of the first session of The Palace of Unquiet Repose played with Hyperborea 3e, which seemed a good easthetic fit.| Craggenloch Tribune
Over the past few weeks I've been running Greg Gillespie's Dwarrowdeep for two separate groups, one online and one in-person. The guts of the system we've been employing is Basic Fantasy, precisely because it is so basic that it provides an excellent framework for me to hang a bunch of ideas off. Also because as a Brit of a certain age it reminds me a lot of Kwik Save's No Frills own-brand, which I have nostalgia for in an internalised traumatic way.| Craggenloch Tribune
Quite by coincidence at least twoother noble-themed GLOG classes have been published in the last week. Much like busses, you wait all day for one then three come at once.| Craggenloch Tribune
The Magic Item Shop seems to be an artifact of many people's teenage flounderings with the game, one that seems to be almost universally scorned in these Latter Days. A lot of campaign settings I own explicitly state that such a thing as a place where enchanted goods are freely bought and sold does not exist, often in an attempt to reinject mythic quality to these wondrous objects. It's a laudable instinct, but I prefer to rehabilitate ideas rather than exclude them. To whit, here's a couple ...| Craggenloch Tribune
I rarely ever play fighters. Hybrids, sure. Gishes, paladins, monks, even barbarians, but seldom a farmboy with a sword and board and a yen for adventure. I've always just felt like I was missing out on half the system to play a character without any access to the kind of lateral advancement that spellcasters have. Part of this also stems from a conversation on the GLOG book club, specifically Spwack's idea that fighters need more options to do borderline 'impossible' things, because by stand...| Craggenloch Tribune
It is well known that spells employed by wizards are a form of semi-sentient solar spirit, somewhat less known is that the miracles called down by clerics are manifestations of the host of angels that invisibly accompany them.| Craggenloch Tribune

Here be a selection of spell charms for theisticGilthoniel's Hypogeum magic users, in turn inspired by my old post of MtG: Arena wozerd-duellists. Spells being tangible items is cool and fun and you should use it wherever possible.| Craggenloch Tribune
Gonna be real here - this is basically a shitpost to get this subject over and done with because trying to come up with something interesting to do with slime makes me want to scream. I have spent three weeks gurning at a blank document trying to muster up the will to write. This is what I got.| Craggenloch Tribune

The best warriors in the world are the yak herders of West Kikala. None deny this, though it shames the caste-nobles and their pretensions of martial excellence. But while these dusty herdsmen learn the art of cutting from a young age they carry no swords, for swords make a warrior lazy. If you cannot cut without a blade, can you in truth be said to have performed the cut or was it the World? Such is the koan by which they order their lives. The young and inexperienced are permitted to learn ...| Craggenloch Tribune
