Apparently, DriveThruRPG’s site-wide sales only apply to digital products. However, I’ve set up a temporary discount code for the print-on-demand version of the second edition of Babylon On Which Fame and Jubilation Are Bestowed. To take advantage of this 40% discount on the print version, click here. (You don’t need a code to get theContinue reading “Black Friday/Cyber Monday Discount Code”

“[A] graduate history seminar”
All setting books for TTRPGs should be graduate-level history seminars. Especially the fantasy ones. If they’re not, then you’re doing it wrong.
BJFB for Rolemaster RMFRP
One of my oldest fixations is Iron Crown Enterprises’ Rolemaster and Middle-Earth Roleplaying product lines. While I’ll go weeks focused on other systems and settings, my obsession with ICE’s old products recurs throughout the year with an alarming frequency. Living in rural North Carolina in the 90s, there were times as a teenager that MERPContinue reading “BJFB for Rolemaster RMFRP”
Checking In
Another year, come and gone. No products published, nothing in the pipeline. Excuses? I have a few. In many ways, 2022 has been the most chaotic year of my professional life. Within a month of announcing that I was running for judicial office, my long-time law partner ended up in the hospital. Within two weeks,Continue reading “Checking In”
Greater Couatl (5e Warlock Patron)
I’m a player in a 5e Eberron group. We’ve played on most Fridays for over a year now, and it’s a great group of folks. My character is a dwarf1 celestial warlock, whose patron is a couatl. Couatls are prominent in Eberron lore, and last week, our DM had the party travel to the PlaneContinue reading “Greater Couatl (5e Warlock Patron)”

I reject any and all forms of bigotry, whether based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, country or culture of origin, or anything else my overworked brain has forgotten among the above. As it is important to be precise about these things, in this case I am specifically calling out anti-Semitism, Holocaust-denialism, and Nazi apologia.Continue reading “Let me be absolutely clear…”
Minor Updates to BFJB 2.0 and CCoM PDFs
I spent most of yesterday going through the original InDesign files for Babylon on Which Fame and Jubilation Are Bestowed 2.0 and the Cursed Colony of Meslamtaea, updating the English language typefaces. This font was exhibiting strange behavior when viewed on an iOS device running the iOS 15 beta. For the most part, this wasContinue reading “Minor Updates to BFJB 2.0 and CCoM PDFs”
Mythic Babylon looks even better in print
This post is about Design Mechanism’s Mythic Babylon. Šukāmu Press is not involved with either that company or the creation of this product. Instead, I mention it here because it’s a fantastic resource for gaming in Ancient Mesopotamia, and will be of interest to anyone who has purchased or enjoyed Babylon on Which Fame andContinue reading “Mythic Babylon looks even better in print”
Recommendation: Mythic Babylon
In BFJB-relevant news, I wanted to note the release of The Design Mechanism‘s Mythic Babylon for the Mythras System. I’ve spent much of the past 24 hours pouring over the PDF, and I’m eagerly awaiting the softcover. My initial impressions are that a monumental amount of research went into the production of this book, andContinue reading “Recommendation: Mythic Babylon”
