required skills none required equipment transportation westom karr as shipping is a single system transport company specializing in non jump mining transports one of their large mineral transports from the asteroid belt in the outer system has stopped responding to calls the ship the westom vi is still there but gives no response to hails the ship isn t due for another month but the amount if minerals is worth millions of credits it would be good if someone could check out what happened claire is willing to pay 5 000 for a check in plus routine maintenance and fuel for their ship in their facilities if pressed she also can offer an additional contract to deliver supplies to the belt mining facility the westom vi came from an asteroid strike has taken out all the communication antennas repairs were stymied by lack of replacement parts the small crew will be happy about any assistance that can be rendered an asteroid strike has taken out the main cabin of the ship one crewman is still hanging entangled in wires but dead the other two cannot be found the ship is abandoned systems are running on autopilot half eaten dishes on the table no trace of the crew the crew is present but claims no contact with the main world can be established this turns out to be true something is interfering with communications in the area around the ship as 4 but there is one additional crew member unaccounted for by the company something psionically active in the cargo has been driving the crew insane by the time the pcs arrive only one member of the crew is alive but he has taken on two split personalities from the ones he murdered and ate traveller rpg traveller ttrpg bless you 3 comments posted by geoffrey on january 28 2026 small houserule i came up with while redoing the my xp awards for my campaign attending a church service religious ceremony of a friendly faith and tithing appropriately to their stature at least 50g p gives 50 xp it also has a chance of bestowing a blessing the character tithing needs to roll save vs spell to gain the effects of a bless spell until the next combat or rest period whatever happens first a critical failure on this roll 1 in 20 instead gains them the effect of a quest the pc in question now is taken with the unbearable need to do something specific ideally something related to the saint deity worshipped in the temple mind you you might think this is just a boon for player characters but the effect of this can also affect opponents be they clerics cultists or members of various tribes there is a chance any particular group is under the influence of a bless spell as long as there is a cleric or shaman attending their spiritual needs this also means the local tribes might send out representatives on quests themselves an orcish tribe might get the quest to locate a legendary weapon of their tribe now in the hands of the local baron dungeons and dragons roleplaying dnd osr roleplaying rpg ttrpg my hobby year 2025 leave a comment posted by geoffrey on december 31 2025 my roleplaying stats for 2025 ran 35 games on grenzland of those 2 hidden fortress star wars osr and 3 pirates of drinax mgt2 the rest was part of my glimmermark campaign labyrinth lord played in 9 games on grenzland dolmenwood and the montag in zürich games which were largely not on monday attended 1 convention cauldron osr euro con played 5 games ran played 19 games of shadowrun 3rd edition i didn t actually keep track who was gming and who was playing we are alternating posted 25 roleplaying related blog posts now 26 published 1 fanzine article in the grenzland zine all in all 65 games 1 25 games per week that s a fair amount very technically the lodz comic festival also might count as a ttrpg convention but there were like two tables and a miniature painting workshop and thanks to my kid i didn t get to enjoy anything of it so how about you how was your year in this hobby roleplaying 2025 rpg ttrpg elves can see in the dark leave a comment posted by geoffrey on october 31 2025 elves are well known to be able to see in the dark because they glow infravision and darkvision to me never made that much sense for elves why would they be able to see in complete darkness every picture of an elf in the woods has them lit by some unearthly glo ooooooh yeah so elves faintly glow from the inside in an unearthly light not much not really that noticeable during the day but any elf gives enough light to navigate a forest and or cave in other words about the same range and fidelity as a dwarf s darkvision benefit elves and their companions don t necessarily need light sources to navigate complete darkness although the effect is more like using your phone screen to find your way to the bathroom than a proper light source not enough to properly search a room with but better than nothing drawback 1 elves are visible in complete darkness even extinguishing your torch isn t gonna make the elf stop glowing unless properly covered this also means elvish thieves have a 20 on hide in shadows unless covered drawback 2 their glow messes up the darkvision of others you wonder why dwarves don t like elves well lots of reasons but one is that when they are near they can t use their darkvision properly corollary dark elves are dark elves or shadow elves because they cast a natural darkness the same way that

i have been playing red dead redemption 2 the last few weeks which spurred me on see what i did there to give boot hill a look again especially as rdr2 like other rockstar games titles is using alternate american states instead of actual places instead of any actual american state this game starts in the mountain state of amberino then proceeds to the midwestern state of new hanover and then the southern state of lemoyne and then further on no actual states were harmed in the production of this game although one of course can see what they re meant to be the largest city might be called st denis but it s new orleans in all but name size and actual historicity in fact the geography doesn t make any sense at all the more you think about it but it s fine for a video game this made me think about the setting for boot hill which i remembered had a made up area as a campaign base as well well sort of for one neither the 1st edition which barely was more than a wargame nor the 3rd edition which went more into skills and messed up the combat system actually seem to have had a given setting besides the old west 2nd edition the one that most people are interested in and which basically was the main edition that one did have something this edition also was also the only that had a line of supporting books in the form of 5 scenarios the bh series now the boxed set of the game had a map of promise city and on the reverse side a map of el dorado county and at least some of the scenarios were set in el dorado county as well the problem being not necessarily the same el dorado county boot hill went with the toolbox approach of building a campaign so much that the maps that were included and the few scant descriptions of what might be in el dorado county were in fact entirely optional the wilderness map was unmarked and the rules even gave instructions how to orient it for specific settings want el dorado county to be in texas then the bendy river goes to the south want it to be in colorado then the river goes north south instead and ignore the mexican influenced parts we just mentioned the scenarios are also written with that assumption sure they fit on the same wilderness map but exactly how they fit is another question both bh3 burned bush wells and the bh5 promise city from range war are supposed to be on the same map but north is different in each and the promise city az of bh3 ballots and bullets is not the promise city or from range war even if the name s the same and in fact the same map the one in the boxed set that is el dorado and promise it seems are everywhere and nowhere the idea is of course that you can just place it wherever it suits your campaign i guess as long as you don t want to move between locations too much you always start with promise city in el dorado county i have to wonder if this was one of the reasons for the lackluster reception of the game sure you can make this game your own by just adapting the maps to your own campaign but at the same time there is no actual sense of place it all depends on the gm to make a campaign that thei...
