Daisy Chainsaw

So I have been looking at Daisy Chainsaw by Charlotte Laskowski, a hyper violent magical girl ttrpg. It is very different from other things I have run and is over all quite interesting to me, and with my recent exposure to the cognito hazard that is Madoka Magicka I am considering running a Daisy Chainsaw…

I watched Madoka Magicka

There will be spoilers here so be warned. My roommate has been a fan of fucked up magical girl media for a long time and finally got me and my partner to sit down to watch Madoka Magicka. I have…thoughts. She has referred to it as ‘Sad Lesbians the Anime’ and yeah… It was an…

Heartblood World Building 12 – Healing Magic and Disability

So Healing magic is an interesting topic to me, because I hate when healing magic smoothes over everything. You know what? having your leg cut off should be hellish and traumatic, dying shouldn’t be a planned part of battle (Cough D&D 5e), and no healing magic should wipe away the ability for characters to get…

A Game I Want To Run

So I have been thinking about a mini campaign I want to run. I think a lot of TTRPG people have a familiarity with Critical Role even if they don’t watch it. Well the did an Exandria Unlimited special, ‘Calamity’ run by Brendan Lee Mulligan. For those unfamiliar it was a three episode special about…

Heartblood World Building 11 – Cruxian Religion

So I had a player as about the game world: “Is the Cruxian Religion the predominant religion?” So I choose to answer it here! It ought not need stating here but I will anyway, this is only relevant to pathfinder game lore. Cruxian Religion is very much a bastardisation of my favourite aesthetics and themes…

Forsaken Heroes – My Most Recent Masks Campaign

So I recently decided to try running Masks: A New Generation Again! I decided I wanted to do something different to the Masks games I have played in and the one I have run. So this game is a darker tone, with a focus on political corruption and heroes as cops. Very much a game…

Heartblood World Building 10 – The Order of the Rose and the Fruit of Life

The world of Heartblood is built on the bones of ancient beings, the closest things to gods to ever walk the surface of the land. Each of these creatures, elemental spirits of life, death, rebirth and so many more base facts of the universe and of life. These beings create these base forces of the…

Character Profile: Hemlock ‘Crown’

 Name: Hemlock Aliases: Crown, Knight of Ash Physical Description: Crown is a character from a campaign I was in last year that didn;t end great, but I still find this character quite interesting.  He’s a soldier from a war against undead hordes who lost everything; his fiancee, who he held after he fell in battle….

Heartblood World building 9 – The Guardians of Retribution

The Guardians of Retribution are an order of warriors sworn to defend the innocent and fight the dark, they are golden paragons of beneficence and protection. They were founded by Sir Lucius Sanctus, one of the fabled heroes who slayed the lich queen Corymeir and ended the threat of necromancy. He created the order to…

Power Armour – Loose Game Discussion.

So I am a sucker for cool tech in sci-fi. I love the ACs in Armored core, the ships in the Expanse, the wonderful mechanical feel of Gundam and the mechanical weight and power of Jaegers in Pacific Rim. Most of all I am always drawn back the aesthetics and technology we see in Halo,…
