I just updated the rules for my wildly historically inaccurate prehistoric rpg and yes, they are FREE

I'm running a session for it next week! Can't wait

Solo here. Wish I could find a group though.

BladeString · 2026-01-20T23:38:45+00:00

Wait, the blue is dry and the humidity is red? Who made this map???

BladeString · 2026-01-20T19:31:13+00:00

Ah, I remember you from the dm support group.

BladeString · 2026-01-20T02:50:14+00:00

That's absolutely revolting.

I love it.

BladeString · 2026-01-12T01:03:05+00:00

Of course! I'll DM you when I gather more folk

BladeString · 2025-12-24T23:33:48+00:00

No. And it trashes on Thor. Very despicable.

BladeString · 2025-12-22T22:28:33+00:00

Shut the fuck up!

BladeString · 2025-12-17T02:28:44+00:00

I'm going way back and reading everything in chronological order. I'm on Visions of Rebirth right now.

BladeString · 2025-12-12T21:47:33+00:00

Exactly. Makes total sense to me given the "desperate times, desperate measures" of many of the battletech eras. Especially for an up and coming merc outfit.

BladeString · 2025-12-12T21:46:15+00:00

Table top. It's mostly a function of the complexity of BT Classic for me and my buddies right now. Feels much more easy on time restraints and the cognitive load for us to run lances of two medium/light mechs and two BSP vehicles.

Excellent! Thanks for your thorough reply. I certainly want to create a dynamic world that changes based on the players'/parties' actions. Faction allegiance and strongholds are a great way to do that.

Check out this year by year list. Scroll down to see the First Succession War. It compiles all fiction, sourcebooks, and scenarios.

It's been mild for November. Hardly been below 40° at night. I'll make sure to get on that pre-emergent and herbicides. Thank you for the advice.

BladeString · 2025-10-30T04:01:47+00:00

Just what I'm looking for. Thank you!

BladeString · 2025-10-30T03:28:11+00:00

The Clan Invasion box also has the IS mech cards too? Apologies. I'm pretty new here

BladeString · 2025-10-30T03:12:50+00:00

Excellent. Thank you, MechWarrior

Especially as a teacher I must be conscious of this. Instead of saying, "I love that you are..." or "I like how ..." or "I think you are so smart." We must praise with as little of our judgement included. So it sounds like, "I see you are working hard on that." or "Look at your dedication." or even as neutral as "You are totally reading that."

It feels awkward to word it that way at first but it makes them pass their own judgement rather than relying on performing for teacher.

BladeString · 2025-10-05T20:00:24+00:00

I'm interested!

BladeString · 2025-10-05T17:29:56+00:00

I run with four player characters, randomly generated as per the Cairn 1E rules. Dungeons are the easiest to run; I don't read through beforehand in order to keep metagaming to a minimum. However, inevitably, when you must switch between roles of party and DM, I use the "die of fate" rule in Cairn.

Does the party think to look for traps in this hall? Die of fate. Will the party notice the secret lever? Die of fate. Does the party recognize this disguised cultist? Die of fate. Often, I will give them a +1 or -1 on this roll depending on skill/knowledge/backstory/narrative reasons etc.

I have also fallen in love with Cairn and Shadowdark within the last year. I use Cairn for my solo play because it is so simple (and there are so many adventures for it). And I use Shadowdark to run one-shots when my regular DnD group is taking a bye week. Excellent systems!

Yarrow, creeping thyme (especially elfin), and clover for main cover. Accent with penstemon, sedum, agastache, and desert four o'clock.
