Wizard Dad, Blog Update

I turned 49 yesterday, and it was great. Even got in a few rounds of solo gaming (though that was the next day). So far 49 is much like 48, so I have no complaints.

I am coming up on another certification exam, so I probably won't be putting much out much in the way of new content, but I do plan to still work on updating the Alphabetical Worksheet index, and add notations to the big index on which articles have worksheets. It will be slow going, but it will be going.

I have been experimenting with starting games with older and accomplished characters, without having to go in level by level to build their back story, explain their, powers and so on. The key to that is flashback scenes. I would love to outline the procedure, but that will probably need to wait, and I am sure you can all figure out how that would work with out my help.

Another article on the horizon (probably after my exam) is going to be focused on long running campaigns and one shots. Essentially how not to abandon your primary campaign when a one shot proves to be so interesting that you want to slide that into the new number one space. Here are two hints. Short term character goals and keyed and structured scenes (in other words don't start a new sandbox, and let the game actually end when the goal is accomplished, which I know is easier said than done!).

Well that is it for now, except to say thank to my regular readers, and thank you to my guest readers, and that I will be back as soon as I can.

Good gaming
Wizard Dad.

Mythic Worksheets: Alphabetical Index. (Mythic RPG and Crafter Series, Mythic GM Emulator 2 and Mythic Magazines 1-30)

(This is a work in progress, but I will keep in growing and update it with new material as it comes out, but 3 books and 50+ mags are more than I can handle in a single day.)

Editor: You will probably see a few repeats, especially in both magazines and MGME2, I put them both in so you could have access to the perspectives of both associated articles. These will also be marked in the Index by Topic after this index is finished.

This probably should have been my starting point rather than ending point, but it is my blog and I can do things backwards if I want to.

Should more be added to this page I will update it accordingly, and once the master worksheet list is complete it will remain a live document.

A Bundle Scene Starters sans Context: Part 3

(A brief tutorial on how to use the numbering system is given on pages 1-2)

1-2

3-4

5-6

1-2     The PC either stumbles upon or is sought out by a (colleague, friend, family member) to research the mystery of a series of victims of a strange (poison, disease, mental affect, irrational impulse) that has struck with in the (region, kingdom, city, business, royal family). A suspect is in the custody of (the police, the palace guard, a crime syndicate, a rural sheriff) who used the (poison, psychic device, infectious meme, spell charm), but he claims that he doesn't know who is producing this weapon, but can give you the name of his supplier, for leniency. Do you take up the Mystery?

3-4     At a gathering to make peace between warring factions of (gangs, nations, fighting school, religions) the third party mediator is (shot, poisoned, burst into flames). Each side blames the other, not even considering that it could be the work of a third party. Why is your character here? Did the mediator die? What actions do you take?

5-6     The PC's reputation is scandalized causing the loss of (social status, a valuable contract, a land grant, a much needed loan) The accusation is a perversion of an action the PC has taken. Who spread the rumors? Why do so many people believe them? What personage of power have you offended?

7-8     During a routine activity in the late evening (guard work, an evening stroll, time at one's favorite playhouse or theatre, the PC discovers a (magical hour glass, bomb, booby trap). It is clearly counting down to something and that time will end soon? How does the PC react; what will happen when it reaches "0", what do you know that is worth killing over?

9-0     Enemies from past adventures catch up to you at a social function, a powerful person from your local scene shows up to scorn them and offers you their protection, as many of their lackeys appear on the scene bolstering your numbers. But no good deed is free, they want something from the PC. Something valuable and in short supply. What is it they want? Why do they think  you can get it? Can you afford to say no?
