When I think of Wizards I think of wise sages and half mad archaists toying with the rules of reality. I think of Deed from Lodoss asking the spirits for assistance. Gandalf speaking the old names holding off the Balrog in Khazad-dûm. I don’t think of a spellbook with a specific spell with a single…

I realised in the new year that this is my 21st year of being a Game Master. It is absolutely beyond my comprehension that my half memory of finding a Red Box among my dad’s old belongings at age 12 was so so long ago. Shortly after I was running a Gaming Club, sitting up…

Sorry for another late post! This is for a good and exciting reason. I’ve done it! I’ve rewritten the entire text of Silly Little Elf Game from the ground up and it’s shorter too!…Wait. That’s 111 pages. That’s 20 pages longer than the.. gah. Well I tried to condense the words down, but where did…

(Note: Sorry for not getting this article out yesterday, it’s seen a lot of hasty rewrites as I try to make my case the best I can). So, I’ve been working on the rewrite of Silly Little Elf Game and have progressed through the first 4 chapters over the last two weeks. While doing so…

This week I’ve been working my way back through the first draft of Silly Little Elf Game (yes, instead of actually finishing it by working on the GM section, what can I say).

I’ve now put a ton of work in to thinking and rethinking what I want My Elf Game to be like. I’ve distilled it over and over again to try to create a clearer and clearer vision, and I think I’m satisfied now with what I have. The Pitch Fantasy Genre: Hopeful Industrial-apocalyptic fantasy.System Neutrality:…

First off, sorry for no play test this week, it was cancelled due to excessive sleepiness on Sunday evening. I have instead spent that time and the time since working on Silly Little Elf Game, which I wanted to talk about a bit. So the basic version of Silly Little Elf Game has been out…

Sorry for the late post this week. Returning from a long holiday has meant a massive disruption to my routine which has made doing normal things difficult for me. When I’m struggling like this it’s always good to ground myself by going through some of my favourite things and trying to bring joy back into…

So this playtest involved the same party as the first playtest, going into the same dungeon, which now has a name: Cimero Well. So we have Bede (Magician 1), Matilda (Mercenary 1), Kardis (Mercenary 1), and Imogen (Burglar 1), with their very helpful and handy Pan (Scholar 1). For this playtest I only made two changes…

OK, after some thinking I’ve decided to release all of my current notes on Silly Little Elf Game all at once. You can find the download and full PDF of the book on the left. Why I don’t want to is because I dislike a lot of these rules, but that’s not really the point…
