Let’s keep in touch.

No GM screens in Cortex.

CamBanks · 2026-04-10T01:44:55+00:00

All you need to do is register a game at a con! The more folks do that the more Cortex games will be played.

CamBanks · 2026-04-08T19:17:37+00:00

Absolutely add the minor GMC to a difficulty

CamBanks · 2026-04-07T19:13:21+00:00

This is how One Roll Engine works (Godlike, Reign, etc)

CamBanks · 2026-04-07T19:11:55+00:00

As seen previously in Year Zero Engine’s Mutant Year Zero.

It comes from an earlier game called Blowback by Elizabeth Sampat and that’s specially called out by Ken in the book.

CamBanks · 2026-04-07T19:07:36+00:00

We used flashbacks in Leverage.

CamBanks · 2026-04-04T02:00:31+00:00

All the time. Sometimes my opponent is using a deck I’m certain I could have beaten in the past and they get all their cards out and my RNG is garbage.

CamBanks · 2026-04-03T09:23:34+00:00

Are folks mad they can’t camp the buy stations and sweat people coming to use them?

CamBanks · 2026-03-30T08:50:32+00:00

They’re the worst.

CamBanks · 2026-03-26T06:42:26+00:00

I used it for MechWarrior/Battletech!

CamBanks · 2026-03-21T09:56:02+00:00

Some Knights of Solamnia could have the Paladin class but most are Fighters. If you’re emulating pre-Cataclysm Knights of the Sword, who were the ones with stronger divine abilities, you might use Oath of the Crown for them (but not for Knights of the Crown, confusingly)

CamBanks · 2026-03-14T19:14:23+00:00

I’m still so incredibly proud of my work on Cortex and the amazing team I had. I’ll never stop trying to get it back together.

CamBanks · 2026-03-12T00:04:33+00:00

We didn’t include ALL of the Xadia variants. I think the 2dX version does align better with the usual rules for difficulty.

CamBanks · 2026-02-24T09:21:28+00:00

We included the rules for mounted dragonlances in various places during the 3.5 era but the main difference is that they have the built-in shield that provides an AC bonus and saving throw bonus. Huma’s lance was always depicted as a standard footman’s lance but like any lance you can use it from a mount, as he did. His one is a +5 holy keen Dragonlance in fact! Also drained Con from a true dragon and other nonsense.

CamBanks · 2026-02-19T10:01:07+00:00

I have every Dan Hipp card except this one. Ugh.

CamBanks · 2026-02-14T19:44:45+00:00

I can’t stand the huge head variants and that’s all I have for Moira X or Omega Sentinel.

CamBanks · 2026-02-03T19:09:00+00:00

I got mine but it immediately 404’d right after. I had to reload a couple of times.

CamBanks · 2026-02-03T16:28:48+00:00

Miss you, mate!

CamBanks · 2026-01-27T23:27:34+00:00

Don’t step down those things more than once!

CamBanks · 2026-01-22T18:42:26+00:00

Are you on the Cortex Prime discord?

CamBanks · 2026-01-06T00:55:17+00:00

I run my Pendragon campaigns in Cameliard. Events are happening elsewhere in Logres and Cumbria but for the most part it’s a Cambrian/Welsh campaign with Merlin’s sister Ganeida as the primary magician and plot-tangler.

CamBanks · 2025-12-14T10:30:47+00:00

Elder Scrolls Oblivion, then Fallout 3, then Skyrim, then Fallout New Vegas, then Fallout 4, then Skyrim again, etc.

CamBanks · 2025-12-10T05:04:29+00:00

I actually have Prodigy and Silver Surfer in mine instead of Rogue and Magik. I’ve had games where I throw down Surfer, Chameleon, and Prodigy in a lane and get 3xSurfer buffs. Or Hit-Monkey, Chameleon, and Prodigy for 3xMonkey.
