Just elaborating on a recent blog post

I think everyone probably remember MAD Magazine, and in particular the inside back cover, which often had a picture which would fold-in to form a new unexpected picture.

I talk about how to use this concept in gaming, especially used on a sea adventure ...

I discuss my idea to launch a Kickstart for Zine Quest 2 called ‘Face Folio!

Back to the Blog episode - where I look back at one of my previous blog post, ... BUT in this case presented in audio format. In this episode I look back at a post I did about making any composite die from two dice. Link: https://goblinshenchman.wordpress.com/2019/01/09/die-from-two-dice/

Had this idea for a crowd-sourced audio dungeon. The idea bring people leave a message which are 1 minute or shorter detailing a room, location, corridor, fresco etc. In a fantasy dungeon. It might be helpful to think of such message as audible “box text”. I might keep this as a living document, updating it as messages come in. Sending a message means that you accept that the content is Creative Commons.

Random idea, possibly steering into the pretentious - is it possible to make Haiku dungeon - possibly collaborative, possibly retro-haikuing a classic module ... ?

Just rambling about three ideas :: Excel mapping :: UNO cards as a Star Trek initiate system :: Player input location prompts

Want a free hardcopy of Carapace (Zine)? Email me your postal address to goblinshenchman@gmail.com

You must remember the parlour game “Consequences”. Well I thought it might be fun to use this format as a ‘Session 0’ PC background builder. Bit like a random table but where people are the dice. See https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/289006/Session-Zero--ConsequencesStyle-Background-Builder
