The Infinity Road: Update
OK, so the Infinity Road is progressing nicely. There are almost 50 pages of main matter written, without illustrations, just text, tables and some white space. It is now 17,000 words and its structure is complete. Right now, however, it’s a mess of Game-Master notes. There is a lot to do in the way of editing and fleshing out, but it is already usable. Anyway, let’s take a look at the structure of the book Table of Contents Introduction, where it introduces the world of The Infinity Road Characters, discussing how to create new characters for the Infinity Road and how to...

In her own words “Hi, this is me, Anne Elizabeth. I’m 13 and 12. It’s kinda hard to explain because we’re not growing ur or old any more. Mom and Dad say it’s OK. They even say it’s all the better for them -not to grow old any more- and say they are only worried for us, Peppy -she’s my sister-, Spotty and me. But I know they’re faking it. This is way weird, scary weird. You see, one year ago it was my birthday. I was all excited up. It was a school vacation and dad and mom had taken a few days off too.

Read MoreSafe Havens
Version 1.0 CC -by Miguel de Luis, minimrpg.com What So, let’s say that you are in the middle of a campaign and then your player-characters have been through 23 fights, 4 chases, short-changed a dozen inn-keepers and they have just learned who’s the big bad guy and his evil plots. Or, for whatever the reason, they have bitten more than they could chew: two party members gravely injured, their best weapon locked and an evil horde have the heroes locked on their sights. That is when a safe haven could come handy. But what’s a safe haven anyway and how could we make it work...
Read MoreNewsies and Bootblacks, stripped
Hi chaps. I don’t know if there is somebody still attached to this blog but… Anyway, you may remember a little game called Newsies and Bootblacks (#rpg #steampunk #newsboys #edwardian #fantasy) that I published online about a year ago. Today, I am working towards a new version to be published on Lulu, as a print on demand. Thing is Lulu makes you pay dearly for even the smallish color illustration inside your book. So, I’ve went through the N&B manuscript on LyX and manually deleted all but two illustrations (who happened to be nice and b/w). The resulting document is much...
Read MoreGaming my novel
Hi chaps. You probably do not know it but I’m writing a fantasy young adult novel by the name of “La Montaña de Dios” (God’s Mountain). And yes, I’m using my mother tongue which happens to be Spanish. So why should you care? Because of this weird idea I’m having and that you might imitate if you are also into writing. I’ll be gaming the last few chapters of my novel. Anybody able to understand Spanish (or who would hire a translator) is welcome. The idea is that the writer (in this particular case yours truly) will send an email to brief the...
