sday february 5 2026 msjx blog today i want to mention matt jackson s msjx blog msjx is full of fun gaming stuff little games small maps compact character sheets actual game plays i always enjoy reading it two of my favorite things are the maps of burrowmoor and willowford that matt did these maps focus two areas in james spahn s mini setting willowford valley that appears in his white box omnibus the maps help flesh out the setting in a nice way the blog is here posted by narmer at 1 44 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels other blogs sunday february 1 2026 character creation challenge 2026 recap well what can i say i did it 31 characters in 31 days i didn t complete the challenge the last time i attempted it this time i fell behind once but pulled through i did some prep work ahead of time but even though i tried to stay ahead of the game it wasn t easy i pretty quickly chewed through the pregens once or twice i got a couple of days ahead but it didn t last long although i did repeat a couple of systems the majority of the characters were from unique games my preference for rules lite games helped most of the games had a simple character creation process speaking of rules like games i probably could ve created 31 character using just the black hack variants alone one of my goals was to introduce people to interesting but somewhat obscure games i hope i succeeded i really do like creating characters this exercise has reinforced that i do prefer systems where the creation process also aids building the characters backstory once again this is why i love creating characters for barbarians of lemuria and the games in its family and thank you for looking at my posts knowing that someone was reading them helped keep me motivated posted by narmer at 12 24 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels character creation challenge 2026 saturday january 31 2026 character creation challenge 2026 day 31 weg star wars 1st edition i have created a couple of character using weg star wars for this challenge so i decided to finish off the challenge with one star wars for me will always be the original trilogy the first three movies i saw in the theaters star wars before it was a new hope that sort of thing wegs star wars all editions came out before the prequels did and created a whole universe that all star wars games and media drew on until recently my star wars does not really include the prequels in fact after all these years i haven t watched all of the prequels i ve seen the sequels and although i enjoyed them to a certain extent i was disappointed with them i don t know why i writing all of this other than maybe it explains why i like wegs star wars so much it focuses on my star wars it s not that i reject everything else except midichlorians i just know what i prefer and have the most fun with as a side note there are several threads on rpg net and other forums speculating on what the star wars universe was like if only the original trilogy existed or if only the original movie existed and then speculating on the characters the old republic the jedi etc i really enjoy these threads posted by narmer at 1 00 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels character creation challenge 2026 characters star wars friday january 30 2026 character creation challenge 2026 day 30 lasers feelings lasers feelings is a simple free one page rpg based vaguely on a famous 1960s television series that boldly went were no man had gone before the mechanic is extremely simple each character has a single number that ranges between 2 and 5 player s choice the higher it is the better you are at lasers that is technology rationality and action the lower it is the better you are at feelings intuition diplomacy passionate action if you are trying a laser action you try to roll under a feeling action over there s a bit more to character creation too but not much you also assign a few descriptors to your starship to personalize it a bit the game also includes an adventure generator lasers feelings has been hacked dozens of times into almost every genre imaginable s s westerns other types of sf superhero spy noir vanilla fantasy you name it it s probably been done and most of them are one page and most of them are free i even took a whack at it with a heroic greece take called doratas philosophia i ve made two characters one for lasers feelings itself one for a sword sorcery hack called sorcerers sellswords posted by narmer at 12 27 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels character creation challenge

a tight lipped warlock guarding long dead secrets you seek gold and glory winning it with sword and spell caked in the blood and filth of the weak the dark the demons and the vanquished there are treasures to be won deep underneath and you shall have them grobland survived mechanical statues giant snakes animated clay statues he survived them all and even came out of it with with several weapons and a bit of gold unfortunately only a few of his 20 companions lived the village lost a large percentage of its population through the terror and the pain grogland discovered he enjoyed smacking things with his shovel crushing heads breaking limbs he liked it when he returned to the village digging graves just wasn t the same he wanted to fill them so he sought out an old warrior to train him his companions sought mentors too soon they would be ready for another adventure but much better prepared this time grobland heard that the village of hirot and its jarl are having trouble with a savage beast they plan to travel north to look into it posted by narmer at 5 28 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels character creation challenge 2026 characters dcc wednesday january 28 2026 character creation challenge 2026 day 28 dungeon crawl classics part 1 dungeon crawl classics is the oddball cousin to d d and osr games you know the one part of the family but kind of askew and random but boy can it be fun dcc was the first place i encountered the character funnel instead of creating a fully formed 1st level character and sending him off to his death you instead create four of five average schlub 0 level characters and send them off to their sometimes hilarious deaths in what is called a character funnel many go any few come out if one of your characters survives you fully flesh him out and he becomes your 1st level character to create a 0 level character you roll your six attributes down the line using 3d6s the attributes don t match the classic six one to one instead you have strength agility stamina personality intelligence and luck i rolled well for this character you then roll for hit points you then determine your lucky sign this only impacts your character if your luck is high enough or low enough to have a modifier one of the luck signs is the bull which affects your melee attack rolls you then determine your everyday normal occupation this will also determine your race human dwarf elf or halfling it also determines your starting weapon usually something like a shovel or a pitchfork choose an alignment law neutral or chaos most people tend to be neutral roll to see how many coppers you have get a bit of equipment with your paltry number of coppers go off to die posted by narmer at 5 05

27 the black sword hack the black sword hack is a sword sorcery rpg that specifically seeks to emulate moorcock s elric books and karl edward wagner s kane stories it is an interesting game with its roots in the 2nd edition of the black hack unlike many hacks of the hack it makes somewhat more substantial changes to the game than for example the pulp hack the major change that the pulp hack made was with classes the author modified the classes to fit the genre and some of those paralleled the original the black hack classes and that was essentially it the black sword hack went a different route one of the major changes it made was doing away with classes you roll your attributes on a table down the line the results range from 8 to 13 you choose a background barbarian civilized or decadent you then choose three backgrounds two from your chosen background and one from any background backgrounds can modify your attributes and give you advantages you then roll two weapons from background based tables and get money based on your background to buy gear then let the slaughter begin it makes some other changes and additions too but i won t go into them i have the 1st edition of the game so that is what i used to create this character posted by narmer at 5 29 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels character creation challenge
