Zine Crowdfunding: S&F 2e, Referee's Guide, and "Etesia, a Land of Shadow and Fae"

I've been working on Shadow and Fae for about three years now, and I think I'm getting to the point of calling it done.

But then, why not improve it just a touch more...

Why not make it a zine?

And if it's a zine, why not make two more zines to go with it?

If you want more details on this journey, the three zines I'm working on, or to support me as I go, take a peek here: https://itch.io/s/120972/shadow-and-fae-2e-3-zine-fundraiser

    I really liked your MINI-series, so I like to hope it will achieve a good release.

      Specifically the mini-Series, or Shadow & Fae 2e? I didn't do a big push for MiniGLoG, but I did release it on Itch here: https://shadowandfae.itch.io/miniglog

      Sorry I wasn't clear. I meant that I really liked MINI series, but I hope that Shadow and Fae will achieve a good release.

A Recipe for Encounter Stew: Threat, Stage, and Stakes

Image
Here's a recipe I've recently brewed up for making interesting encounters. Just like most recipes, it's been handed down, stolen, refined, torn up, and taped back together. Unlike most recipes online, we're skipping the details of that process. You've got cooking to do. Creating Encounters There are three major considerations when planning an encounter, Threat , Stage , and Stakes . Threat The danger of an encounter can be expressed as Total HD (THD) and average Damage per Round (DPR), assuming all  regular attacks hit (Yes, I know that they won't, but getting any more detailed than this runs into the issue of having more detail than is useful).  Note that this is an estimation, as spells and abilities can cause this to vary widely. If an encounter features a particularly dangerous spell or condition, add it to the threat.  For example, we could list threat as: "A Witch and 3 Homunculi (8 THD, 16 DPR, Polymorph)". Choose or roll a threat from your favo...

MiniLOG & MiniDELVE : One Page Rules & Dungeon Generation

Image
We're playing as these guys. MiniLOG Ages ago I wrote a One Page GLoG as a challenge to myself. I looked back on it recently and shuddered. While there were some good ideas there, I felt it lacked precision, beauty, and was still plagued with too much bulk. I slimmed it down and painted it up into MiniLOG, which is everything a player really needs to know to enjoy a game of GLoG. The basic rules are: 3 Attributes (Might, Grace, and Will) that are  the modifiers. 3 Fixed DCs Boons and Banes that stack, cancel each-other out, and boost the Crit/Fumble chance. A simplified Death & Dismemberment table. Simple and familiar gear, spells, and leveling. Plus some other things. All on one page. You can take a peak here . MiniDELVE   We're slaying these things. To accompany such a small game, I needed an equally small but punch-packed GM toolkit. Enter MiniDELVE, a distillation of everything I know (or think I know) about dungeon crafting. Dungeon overview prompts. Layout guidelines...
