The Horror of ROLF!

Hi everyone! For those who might not remember/know, I worked on Ravenloft during the AD&D2 days. I'm also a big fan of classic horror films from Universal and Hammer, so when my co-designer on the ROLF! game line either suggests or approves ideas for someting involving werewolves, vampires, mumm...

'Shadows of Dreams' book from NUELOW Games

Hi everyone... I just wanted to stop by and mention the latest book I've edited for NUELOW Games, because I think it might have material some of you will find inspirational and useful in creating your RL games. Shadows of Dreams is a richly illustrated, small collection of poetry and verse by the gr...

Something of interest if you're using a d20 OGL variant

Or even gold old D&D Third Edition (inclucing 3.5)... Here's a little modfication that uses Feats to bring more flexibility to the game's magic system as far as classes go. Click here to go to RPGNow to check out a preview, or to get your own copy. And please let me know what you think. (This is...

Re: Single Sheet Horror

A few suggestions/questions: I think I like "One Die Horror" better than "One Sheet Horror" as far as titles go. I think you need to add paragraph headers. How much Life do monsters have? As in... should there be a couple of examples like "a mummy has 4 points of life but a ...

ROLF!: The Temp of Frankenstein (the latest from NUELOW)

Just thought I'd let everyone know that the latest ROLF! supplement is another horror-themed release. Titled "The Temp of Frankenstein, this one pokes fun at cheezy horror films, and it provides four pre-generated characters and a battle scenario that allows for immediate play. Click here to ch...

"Anger Issues" would also make a great title for a future product. :)

Re: Super-Powered ROLF! (Wanna give feedback?)

I think if we were more familiar with the people involved, this would be one of those that would already be in the process of being written. :)

Oh... honest ratings or actual reviews over at DriveThru and RPGNow are always appreciated, if any of you downloaded any of the NUELOW Games items. :)

Re: Super-Powered ROLF! (Wanna give feedback?)

Weeeell, if it's free, I won't say no. As a note, I also don't go to conventions. We don't have any after all. But a small shop could benefit from a nice and quick ROLF! tournament. I don't speak about our small town I say that ROLF! is very cheap, fast and easy to learn. It could give a small boos...

Re: Super-Powered ROLF! (Wanna give feedback?)

actually that's very true... I'm ashamed of ever suggesting that. To my defense I said "somewhat" though. Perhaps a system to rotate through characters in the tournament? So you can try out 2-3 different chars, 2-3 battles each? It's not that 8-10 ROFL! matches take long. Rotating charact...

Re: Super-Powered ROLF! (Wanna give feedback?)

Well, personally I think a couple of pages on how ROLF! is played (not all equipment rules or all traits and maneuvers) as a cheatsheet and to introduce new players + a few somewhat balanced premade characters would be nice. Balanced? In ROLF!? I think that might be against the design philosophy of...

Re: Super-Powered ROLF! (Wanna give feedback?)

I will speak with Lynx about this idea... but I think I'll be able to provide some ROLF! materials that will be "organized play" friendly. Basically, I think the characters would have to be in the format used for "Bullets to the Head" ( go here , click on "Full Preview"...

Re: Super-Powered ROLF! (Wanna give feedback?)

I would like to ask you, are there any semi-official ROLF! tournaments in Europe? I live in a town of 65K people, so are you people supporting tournaments in so small places? We have a small RPG shop that arranges events. ROLF! rules are fun, easy, quick and cheap . With a bit of promotion, a ROLF!...

You are correct. That's why I said "something like." :)

Another RL release that could be a foundation for a "house as ghost" adventure is "Castles Forlorn."
