My blog: Studded Plate

[timemrick]

I've decide to risk the madness that is writing my own gaming blog. Studded Plate will be primarily devoted to my twin obsessions with RPGs and LEGO. To start things off, I've republished three articles I wrote some time back about using LEGO minifigures as RPG miniatures. I plan to write more columns in that vein, as well as reporting on the games I run, reviewing new acquisitions to my gaming library, sharing the progress of other projects, and whatever else strikes my fancy and fits the main theme. Basically, a somewhat more organized approach to the stuff I ramble about here.

Cool,
I always enjoy reading your work so will be visiting this from time to time Tim!

One thing though: Your blog needs pictures!

Tonight's post, The Errata Guy Strikes Again!, reveals how I became Keeper of the Freeport Errata and a Freeport contributor.

And just for Havard, there's a picture this time!

RPGs and Lego?! I am THERE!

I've added the following columns since my last post here:

• Spirits of Halloweens Past: My costume projects from the last several years.
• The Freeport Iconics--Now for Pathfinder!: PF stats for Thorgrim, Rollo, Malevir, and Alaina, the sample PCs from Death in Freeport.
• A Lewis Carroll Bestiary: Today's column gives BESM Second Edition stats for the Bandersnatch, Jabberwork, and Jubjub. Part 2 converts them to Third Edition.

I've posted two new Pathfinder columns this week:

• Advanced Bestiary: Puss in Boots: A new sample creature and NPC using the new AB's manimal template.
• Cactus Leshy: A new leshy type suitable for more arid environments.

TBT: Character Background Questionnaire

[Hugin]

Nice questionnaire. These things are good to refer to and I may just have to 'borrow' it to help out my newer players.

I have to agree, lots of stuff to take into consideration when creating a new character. One thing I dislike about creating so in-depth all at once though is having them meet an untimely demise.
