November is done and with it, Nuketown’s first-ever turn at hosting the RPG Blog Carnival. Inspired by the “All These Worlds” line from 2010: A Space Odyssey Two, the carnival explored all manners of world-building, from new planets to undersea realms to stellar[…]

All These Worlds…

October 26, 2018 Ken Newquist All These Worlds, Game Columns, Games, Project Updates, Projects, RPG Blog Carnival

Whether it’s the subterranean world beneath our feet, other planets racing through the sky, or intersections with other planes of existence, the worlds we can visit through role-playing games are infinite. The November 2018 RPG Blog Carnival hopes to capture[…]

Of Prequels and Legacies

February 22, 2018 Ken Newquist Game Columns, Games, RPG Blog Carnival

February’s RPG Blog Carnival topic is “Time Marches On”. Hosted by Daemons & Deathrays, the topic looks at the role of time in role-playing campaigns. Time’s very much at the heart of our two ongoing D&D 5th Edition campaigns. The[…]

Gaming on a Budget

February 10, 2018 Ken Newquist Game Columns, Games, RPG Blog Carnival

January’s RPG Blog topic is “Tabletop Gaming on a Budget”, hosted by Renaissance Gamer. A lot of folks equated gaming on a budget with gaming on the cheap, which is a perfectly reasonable (and entertaining) approach. For me, the hardest[…]

The Library of Obsidian Bay

December 19, 2017 Ken Newquist Game Columns, Games, RPG Blog Carnival

“It’s In a Book” is the theme for December 2017’s RPG Blog Carnival. Books — and the libraries that hold them — drove the later half of our Obsidian Frontier campaign, leading us to explore the written word in the World of Greyhawk campaign setting.[…]

The Three-Page Manifesto, Revisited

November 30, 2017 Ken Newquist Game Columns, Game Theory, Games, Role-Playing Games, RPG Blog Carnival

The latest RPG Blog Carnival encourages us to “revisit the past”. Hosted by GameMastery, the kickoff post discusses writing a follow-up or sequel to a prior post. For me, that’s revisiting “The Three-Page Manifesto”. Written in 2008, the column saw me grappling with[…]

The Lost Continents and Ancient Magic of Weird Pulp

May 30, 2017 Ken Newquist Game Columns, Games, Role-Playing Games, RPG Blog Carnival

“Occult Mysteries and Magic”, is topic of the May 2017 RPG Blog Carnival. Although my gaming group has been playing Dungeons & Dragons for decades, a game that has magic as one of its corner stones, we rarely delved into[…]

Into the Obsidian Maze

April 18, 2017 Ken Newquist Game Columns, Games, Role-Playing Games, RPG Blog Carnival

April 2017’s RPG Carnival topic is “Carnival of Megadungeons!”, during which the gaming blogosphere looked at this staple of fantasy (and occasionally science fiction) role-playing games. I suspect most gaming groups of a certain age have a megadungeon that they call[…]

Games by Candlelight

March 15, 2017 Ken Newquist Game Columns, Games, RPG Blog Carnival

March 2017’s RPG Carnival is “Things in the Dark”, and for many people that’s about things that go bump in the night. For me, it’s about playing games in the dark … when there’s nothing to hold back the night save[…]
