Eric Koch Man, who doesn't like demons? They are awesome, and from the moment I started the Fellhold reboot, I knew they'd play a big role. Please find below Fiends as a Race, Fiends as a C...

Eric Koch The title, and indeed, most of this post, are based on John Bell's excellent post, Managing a Living World Using Rumor Tables.  Below, I present an idea to combine the thoughts i...

From mischeviouslittleelf.tumblr.com I made a character generator for Arnold's excellent GLOG . I'm pretty jazzed about it. To use, simply set the toggles at the top to any inputs you want...

After my last post on Flexible Reaction Rolls , I found myself thinking about how to build Character Classes that fit with the schemey, urban style of play I'm shooting for with Fellhold. The tr...

Reaction rolls are one of my very favorite set of rules. They're quick, easy, and help me to come up with more interesting stuff than I might on my own. I use them as a general purpose social su...

I've put together an eclectic set of PC races for my Fellhold setting, but I'm pretty happy with them. I've tried to follow Arnold's advice to avoid passive modifiers that lead to builds, but m...
