VOLUME XVI, LIBRARY OF BABEL'S FIVE ON FRIDAY (My Bloody Valentine)

So they took you to the fucking shard

But they didn't send a fucking card.

So what? 

So what?

(after Anti-Nowhere League)

If you didn't get any cards it's because you're destroying capitalism! All right, here's yet another belated summary of my favourite posts this week, but not before I ORDER you to read Froth's Humpday Blog-O-Rama and please have a look at this incredible blogroll at Dragons Never Forget.

Done? good. Okay, here's my five favourite blog posts this week:

ESPHAREL

ALTERNATE ALIGNMENTS: DOWN WITH LAW/CHAOS!

https://espharel.blogspot.com/2020/02/alternate-alignments-down-with-lawchaos.html

I've been thinking about alignment a lot of late, so this was germane: replacing abstract concepts with concrete allegiances.

THE LIZARDMANDIARIES

"WHAT DOES THE NPC WANT?" TABLE

http://lizardmandiaries.blogspot.com/2020/02/what-does-npc-want-table.html

A pretty random generator for NPC motivations: sometimes the bandit just wants a boat, as someone commented.

PAPERS AND PENCILS

D100 SECRET WEAKNESSES

http://www.paperspencils.com/d100-secret-weaknesses/

If you're going to randomly determine their motive, give them a random weakness too.

GMDK 

The Five Laws of RPG Science

https://gmdk.org/2020/02/09/the-five-laws-of-rpg-science/

Quality discourse from Dai, re-purposing a dead librarian's rules for libraries as rules for game design.

BONE BOX CHANT

ZINEQUEST (Part 2)

https://boneboxchant.wordpress.com/2020/02/13/zinequestpart-2/

In case you've been living under a rock, Zine Quest 2 kicked off over two weeks ago now, and Pandatheist has been religiously cataloguing the various RPG zines that have been launched: this is part two.

Speaking of Zine Quest, there's still four days left to get in on my own venture, PARIAH. It's a zine containing all the tools you need to set up and run your own old-school psychedelic neolithic animist RPG-  use the rules therein or adapt the material to your favourite setting.

Until next time,
