Seeing all the excitement over at Tenkar's has made me hop on the bandwagon. While I have never played Swords & Wizardry I thought I might be able to translate something from Dragonquest over to that system.  I've read through the book and think the game is cool, but my fantasy gaming is limited to a monogamous relationship with an obscure system. 

Sendashi

  Back in the early days of the 3.X explosion of D & D I was into buying many books for resource material. Mythic races by Fantasy Flight provide me with seeds ideas for incorporating a number of new races into Dragonquest. The Sendashi (originally Sendasti) were a race that were interesting enough to merit my consideration. The picture fed enough of my imagination to make up the various stats and history of the race.  Considering that they were a marginal rave to being with in my home setting, they seemed like a good carry over for the new Blood Moon setting.

There ain't no grave

Blessed Easter to all!

Meanwhile, back in Hell

While there are some great icons of the Descent into Hell, I am fond of this print. 

Blessed Holy Saturday to fellow disciples out there, and happy Saturday to the rest of you!

Although He was a Son

Who has believed what we have heard? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He grew before Him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; He had not form or comeliness that we should look at Him, and no beauty that we should desire Him. He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces He was despised, and we esteemed Him not. Surly he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken by God, and afflicted. Bu He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised four our iniquities; upon Him was the chastisement that made us whole, and with His stripes we are healed.

You are shock!

More background videos from the wonderful world of Manga.  What happens when you mix the old Speed Buggy cartoon with Bruce Lee martial arts: Fists of the North Star!   While not as polished as Bleach or other more recent Manga, it is still fun to watch as I work at the computer. Kenshiro is every bit a Bruce Lee knock-off with amazing kung-fu powers. 

Crazy ass moves: X

Astounding beat-downs on mobs of goons: X

Enemies exploding in agony: X

Cornball 80's dialogue: X

"You are already dead!"   

A bit too bloody for preteens, but it sure makes me want to see someone play a monk in a future campaign.

Will kickstart for food!

Tenkar's post about various kickstarts had me exploring the wonderful world of the internet. It amazes me how much money goes into kickstarts which is cool, but the lack of prompt delivery and development of products makes me leery of ever funding one. Really a shame for those honest developers out there.
