Live in LA? Satine's asking for volunteers for a D&D charity event...
Lamentations of the Flame Princess is pleased to announce it will be releasing the Vornheim City Kit by Zak Sabbath of "D&D With Porn Stars" and The Escapist's "I Hit It With My Axe" (www.hititwithmyaxe.com).
Welcome to the "I Hit It With My Axe" site!
If anybody has any questions for me or any of the girls, go ahead and ask--we'll answer them in upcoming posts...
If I told you that this article where William Burroughs writes about Led Zeppelin and talks to Jimmy Page contains--to my mind--a great deal of RPGable material including a detailed discussion of sonic death rays would you care or would you just be like "Holy fuck! William Burroughs writing about Led Zeppelin and talking to Jimmy Page!"
Either way, you really should stop reading this and go read that.

So Alexis
has been talking about putting together a sort of database/museum/wiki/library of the best DIY D&D stuff--both in terms of rules and setting materials.
Not all the stuff, just the best stuff. So I'm wondering what such a resource would consist of.
My very simple request for today for y'all is:
"Give me a link to at least one on-line DIY RPG resources you have found to be useful in creating a game."
Testing the hypothesis, Day 3...
Mandy and I are reading "Plague Peoples" by William H. McNeill.
Still testing the hypothesis...
Off the shelf...
"The Penguin Book of Curious And Interesting Mathematics" By David Wells.
How many times have you heard this one form some smiley guy:
"You can get inspiration for adventure ideas from anywhere."?
I am going to try it. I'll start with my bookshelf.
This video has been up like three minutes and already there's stuff about how I'm "killing" the players. Seriously? There was an ambush, they saw it, they decided to go ahead and run into it. The dice made all the decisions from there. In D&D, death comes to those who don't make a concerted effort to avoid it. This does not have to be explained to anybody who reads this blog.
Death rules recap:
-If you take more hit points than you have, you're considered to be at 0 h.p. and are unconscious unless you were hurt by something that would obviously kill you instantly (falling boulder, death spell, etc.).
-At 0 h.p. you're unconscious but will pop right back up if healed. However, if you go unhealed for an hour, you must roll under your constitution or lose d6 more hit points. At negative your constitution, you're dead.
-Unconscious characters can usually be killed at will by any old schmuck who has a free round on his hands and has no interest in ransoming, interrogating, prisoner-trading, or eating the PCs fresh.
Nobody's quite dead by the end of the video, but half the party's unconscious. And they are surrounded.
