(Author’s note: I thought I’d take a break from my “Plants” series to give a series on the tropes in horror, as it’s appropriate for Halloween. Enjoy) What do the Resident Evil games, ‘Saw’ franchise, the Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos, Uzumaki, and Chill all have in common? They are all different genres of horror: video game, movie, stories, manga, and tabletop RPG. Each of these different media have a different way of making its viewers, readers, participants experience horror in a […]

Top 8 Tips for running a Western Style Game

Jesse Cohoon — Mon, 18 Sep 2017 13:00:01 +0000

(Author’s note: I have a free self-published book, P5 Westerns: People, Places, Powers, Possessions, Powers, & Plot. If you would like a more in depth breakdown, feel free to contact me and I’ll send you a copy.) Playing a campaign in a fictionalized version of the American West is a fun concept that can provide hours (or if done properly years) of entertainment. There are a variety of tropes that can be called upon when designing such a game. However, […]

First off, what sorts of things do you make & and how would you summarize your career with tabletop gaming? I run Evil Hat as its president. We publish primarily roleplaying games, primarily using the Fate system which we developed, but we also publish things that aren’t Fate based, and we’re steadily moving our way into board and card games […]

Fate for d20 Dummies & Being a Better GM

Shawn Ellsworth — Fri, 05 Jun 2015 12:00:03 +0000

Michael recently wrote about his experience jumping into a Fate game. I love D&D and I really can’t see myself running a full campaign in anything else right now. Over the last year, I’ve run a little bit of Fate here and there and it is a much different game from D&D/Pathfinder.

Michael Long — Thu, 23 Apr 2015 13:00:06 +0000

I’ve been meaning to read the FATE rules. I have all of the FATE in electronic format and purchased them through DriveThruRPG.com. I didn’t print them off, and they sit in my online library. I think I purchased them over a year ago (Yeah, my order says 02/22/2014).
