Stuff of Geeky & Gory Nonsense

Posted on by

I am really lazy when it comes to blogs. I might bookmark them and then (after few months of “nah, let’s not go there”ing) I’ll just delete them.

But sometimes something simple and/or simply good comes along I begin to take interest. So let me point you towards to blogs that need to be mentioned as excellent source of inspiration for running WFRP (or other rpgs for that matter).

Stuff of Nonsense is gaming blog by a fellow liberfanatic. The writer of this either has too much time on her hands or the best games ever as she takes quite a lot of time to prepare for the games (something I personally tend not to do at all…). Lengthy posts seem to be kind of trade mark of hers but as she has interesting things to say I don’t mind this at all.

Another new finding for me was a picture “blog” called Geek and Gory. It not what you could call “friendly for children” but if you are just browsing through the web you can spend hours here just looking at his findings. Great art for gaming purposes is guaranteed.

STOP THE PRESS!

I just noticed the Reckless Dice Podcast has changed their domain. Their new site can be found HERE.

Liber Fanatica #9 seeking Artists!

The venerable WFRP publication Liber Fanatica is seeking talented artists for volume 9.

Publishing art via Liber Fanatica is a great opportunity to reach a wider audience, including RPG industry professionals.

In volume 9, there will be a great variety of topics for artwork illustrating the world of Warhammer Fantasy.

We accept work in diverse media as long as the style fits in the atmosphere of the Old World.
Art orders will range from specific item and landscape illustrations to less specific pieces.

We also accept single piece contributions – long term commitment is not a requirement!

If you’d like to join the ranks of Liber Fanatica artists, scribbling little things like skulls, weapons, rats, etc. (or all of these together in jumbled heaps) is your thing and you’d like to have your work published, please send a message to:

Play-testers Needed & a New Character Sheet

Just when I thought I would have the time to concentrate to this blog I got sick. My wife got sick And my son got so sick that we had to teach him to sleep without pacifier (luckily I don’t mean Vin Diesel). It’s only a flue but still annoying…

Anyway I had a point to add this anyway!

The sequel to the Master of Shadows campaign that I co-wrote to Liber Fanatica 8 is finished. And this time around we are lucky to have enough time for play-testing.

So I’ll be needing (hopefully) at least two groups to run it before the end of the year. The GM is provided with the scenario and reference material needed but due to editing times needed they will not be as spectacular to look at as the final version of the coming LF9.

If you’d like to help the Liber Fanatica in this way.

In other news:

I added Nisses’s Character Sheet on the Downloads (and would like to add that he is the fastest proof-reader I’ve worked with). One other character sheet was sent to me also but that one got pulled back.

At Strike to Stun forums DagobahDave started on a fast NPC creator that is worth looking at even in this WIP state. And if you haven’t go now to the Magic the Gathering site to check out the superior art of the Innistrad block (find the pictures in the posts under “headlines”. It’s almost as good as the work of the Liber Fanatica artists.

A fellow gamer on Strike to Stun also pointed out some errors in my ancient Caradué-document. I’ll be fixing them when I find the time. For some reason I can’t find his/hers nick or real name anywhere. Thanks anyway!

I was also asked to write a review of a new eBook (The New  Death and others can be found HERE and I’d recommend you to give it a look. I bought it already.). I was intrigued to write it but I thought it is not what this site is about and currently I don’t have the time to write as good reviews I would like. So you just have to take my word on this “check it out”!

That’s that. Quite a lot of stuff. And without proper introductions. Oh well.

Why the Silence?

I’ve been neglecting this blog for some time now.

I should have added that I recieved a new character sheet (still WIP) and that RDP discussed about GMing WFPR from a beginner’s point-of-view (by the way it is HERE). I should also have already published the collected posts for Starting WFRP but they are still only saved as a draft…

BUT! At least I’ve a good reason of this kind of delayed action. I’ve been working my ass of for the next issue of Liber Fanatica. Can’t say much of it yet but hopefully we’ll be able to publish it before the holidays.

I’ll try to find some time to post updates but the sequel to Wanted has to be prepared first.

At the mean time… Game on!
