Though it’s less than a week old, the Dresden Files RPG Library is already growing. You can now search for both Mortal Stunts and Supernatural Powers. The addition of Powers allows this tool to assist in two of the four major features of a DFRPG character. I’ve got a few more upgrades in mind, so…

We’ve been looking at playing a DFRPG game recently, so I’ve turned my tool-writing time in that direction. The result is our newest tool: the Dresden Files RPG Library. The Library will search for Stunts by: name, associated skill, page, or tag. If you’re still in doubt, you can click the Random button and get…
A few weeks ago, I announced our Houses of the Blooded Aspects Library. I’ve now expanded that tool to include Blessings. They’re indexed by Name, Tag, House, and Suaven. I hope this will be useful to any Houses of the Blooded players out there. I’m continuing to come up with new features for this thing,…

For instance, here’s a program comparing several methods of approximating a d20 range of rolls with increasing numbers of dice:…
This weekend we played the latest installment of our epic quest across the desert sands. We’re using Fourth Edition D&D in this game, so I should specify that I’m using “epic” in a plot sense, not in the sense of the 4E tier. The game was certainly a lot of fun. We’ve written previously on…

I recently sat through a business meeting that made an innovative use of sticky notes. Essentially, ideas were generated and written on stickies by the people in the meeting, and these were stuck to a wall. Later, they were grouped, then prioritized by physically moving the notes up and down. I’ve used this process at…
