Musings On Cypher I am developing a somewhat unexpected love of the Cypher System for reasons that tend to push against my usual roleplaying game preferences. The ongoing experiment with Ariadne’s Thread, whil…

Karameikos! | Roleplay Rescue The Story So Far...

This one's a bit of an indulgence... responding to Alex's recent call-in asking to hear the story so far in Karameikos, I've cobbled together some words and shared the tale. It's impossible to do justice to the experience at the table after the fact.

Something off my shelf today. I am delving the setting for a potential powered by GURPS experience in the Palladium world.

And the answer was… not yet. 😈 Aegis-2 “zombies” roaming the complex proved quite the challenge, even though they did access a Nanotech Lab and enter the Aegis-3 biocontainment area. Fun times! #CypherSystem
