World of Alidor

The Kings Crew

I decided to try the NPC Creator’s Toolbox for my King dungeon I am making. It is a random table set found in the Game Mastery Guide for the Pathfinder Role Playing Game. Overall it is useful in filling out characteristics of NPCs so they all don’t just have red shirts and answer to the name ensign. I am a big fan of random tables, because... [Read more of this review]

The King’s Crib

I am still rolling forward on my to kill a king dungeon. To help me out, I purchased a GameMastery flip-mat. I have quite a collection of these now. I have: the City Market, the Keep, the Bandit Outpost, the Arena and two Basic Flip-Mats; these pretty much cover all the bases in my home game; if I need a dungeon map in a pinch I grab these. The King... [Read more of this review]

The Villain’s Escape Kit

Last week was a good week for me I was able to shop for new books and I ended up buying Advanced Player’s Guide & the Game Mastery Guide for Pathfinder. Both are great additions to the PFRPG game system. I may be bringing up parts and pieces from both as I do some tweaks to Alidor. Right now I am creating a dungeon themed around the assassination... [Read more of this review]

To kill a King, his view of the world

OK, so I set up last that the King of Northern Jelling must go. The choice of who will assassinate the king is left for the players; possibly a NPC with motive will do it hooking the party into hunting that person down bring them back to justice; you know, the typical who done it. I also am open to presenting a NPC that will come forward and offer the... [Read more of this review]

To Kill a King

I play Pathfinder, and lately, I started thinking about my game world; in particular, the Nation of Jelling. I set up the island with a Queen in the south and a King in the north; both are siblings who separated after the death of their father, which in turn split the island. I was thinking of making a dungeon series for my next new group down here... [Read more of this review]

Sometimes all you need is some dice, some legos and a colossal red dragon

Last weekend on Father’s Day my son, who is six, decided it was his time to run a game. He spent an hour digging through his Legos, and my game figure box. He built a path with Heroscape hexes and then loaded it with traps, which, if we defeated, gave out lego studs for us to collect as money. We used two d20′s, one was rolled to see how... [Read more of this review]

Xmoniuum Lizard and Other Beasts Imagined on Road Trip

On our trip down to our new place in Florida, my son helped me create some new monsters for Alidor. Actually, I just listened to him tell me stories of his imagined monsters, while my wife jotted down notes. They are not stat’d out, so they could be used in almost any game system, especially ones were the players think they know everything and... [Read more of this review]

Mt Laudin Dwarves

Here are some symbols from the Dwarves of My Laudin. There are basically four groups of dwarves that can be found on or around Mt. Laudin. At one time they lived happily inside their great undermountain fortress. When the king of the kirks turned on them, they were forced to flee the safety of their halls, not entirely because of the Kirk invasion.... [Read more of this review]
