I received an email on the 12th letting me know that I was one of 185 lucky denizens of the rejected pile of Chaosium's Basic RolePlaying Design Challenge. Congratulations to all the winners. Lots of cool stuff there.

Alas, my name is not on the list. Congratulations to all the winners. There are some fascinating looking games here, to be certain. I’m looking forward to seeing some of them when they launch. Please visit the Chaosium blog and vote for your favorite! My entry is still in my notes. I’m probably going to repurpose it and publish the thing elsewhere, likely under a simpler system. I like BRP, but…

Glad to be free of the [REDACTED] corporate overlords' control and free to live my life's purpose. Embracing the joy that is the BRP Design Challenge today.

Who’d have imagined back on July 19, 2021, we’d be here? I’m incredibly happy and grateful for being here right now. When I was released from [REDACTED] corporation all those years back, I was incredibly sad and very worried about what the future would hold. I was also glad to be out of that 🦆🦆🦆🦆 job and closer to my life’s purpose than ever.   My intention was always to have peace, freedom to…

Chaosium's Jason Durall talks about the BRP Design Challenge and some of his work at Chaosium. It's a good watch.

Jason Durall from Chaosium talked about what he does at Chaosium and about the BRP Design Challenge. I never get tired of talking about the Basic RolePlaying: Universal Game Engine Design Challenge. I think this is one of the best opportunities to come along in years. I highly encourage everyone to watch the video. Lots of good advice there. Thank you for being here today with me. I appreciate…

I'm debating whether or not to include the "What is a RolePlaying Game and What are all these funny dice?" Questions in my new game.

I was working on my game last night and the age old question came up. “But it’s not what you think,” to quote one of my favorite YouTube channels. The question isn’t “What is a roleplaying game.” The question becomes, “Do I include that description in my game?” Do I just assume people know what a TTRPG is by this point? I mean, we have the Internet. People can look it up.The same question can…

Originally I had planned to just say a few short words about Chaosium's Basic RolePlaying: Universal Game Engine Design Challenge. Turns out I have a lot of say about the subject. Enjoy.

My efforts continue. Confession time. I thought this was going to be a lot easier at first blush than it has turned out to be. I’m still going strong. I’m still going to at least have one if not two proposals done under deadline. My plan was to pull out one of my many, many system agnostic campaign worlds and just plug the Basic Roleplaying: The Universal Engine system into it. That seemed…

Tinkering around with my BRP Design Challenge entries.

I think I know what direction to take my BRP Design Challenge entry now. Taking this thing down to an A5 sized zine is going to help on so many levels. Plus it will buy me some much needed time to finish the original and knock out the second entry. If I spread my original idea out over six Black & White volumes it’s going to accomplish more and cost less than the original 256 standard 8”x11”…

Hey all. Just a quick note to let you know I'm thinking of you all. You rock. Keep being awesome.

Please come join in the fun. Come join us! https://www.chaosium.com/blogthe-basic-roleplaying-design-challenge/ I’ve had kind of a long day in my personal life. I’m physically and mentally running low on spoons and I have another day ahead that’s going to be challenging. I also have great deal of writing to do in the next few days if I want this BRP Design Challenge entry to be awesome. So much…
