The Morgenstern Family Papers [BUNDLE]The Morgenstern Family Papers

’s Spellbook and Resnet’s Spellbook are now available for bundle purchase at DriveThruRPG. Buy them together and save $1.50.

Unfortunately, DriveThruRPG only allows bundles on PDF items at this time, so I can’t make a POD bundle. I’ll look into an omnibus edition for printing in the near future.

Resnet’s Spellbook

EPUB CoverResnet’s Spellbook is finally finished and uploaded to DriveThruRPG. It goes on sale Saturday, April 16, though the print on demand version will still take a while to clear approval at Lightning Source. Once it does, I’ll set up a bundle edition at DriveThru, so you can buy both siblings’ collections of at the same time!

I’ll update soon with a link directly to the product, but in the meantime, here is a link to the Hudspeth Games general page at DriveThru: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=3210&filters=0_0_0_0.

That should keep you interested for all of 3 seconds. 9^>

A d20 Setting Hack

I just put the finishing touches on a short D&D hack that I’ve been working on for the past week. I play D&D biweekly with some local friends, and we have a deal where we swap off between two GMs (and campaigns) every three sessions or so. We’ve just shifted around to a different pair with Nelson running his first campaign with us. That started me thinking about planning ahead so I can take over for Joe when his campaign ends, assuming Mark doesn’t have something to run. I’ve had an idea for how to kick off the campaign for a little while now, but not much else.

So I started thinking about overall plot. Now, I suck at the looking-three-moves-ahead thing, and developing a plot is my Achilles heel. So, when the barest thought struck me for a hack to the standard setting, I dove into it with gusto. See, that sort of stuff I can obsess over. It’s pretty much all I’ve been thinking about for days. I thought, why not explore a world where comes easily to everyone? Rather than having your standard classes, anyone can learn to cast through feats. I ran with it from there, and now I have three new classes (which are probably overpowered, because, hey, it’s me, right?) and a nifty way of handling and psionics.

So, now I have to get back to considering plot and long-term structure. Which never survives the first encounter with the players anyway.

Once we start playing around with these rules and new classes and see how they balance out, I plan to share them with the world at large.

Morgenstern’s Second Printing

Just finished uploading the second “printing” of ’s Spellbook to DriveThruRPG. There were a few clarity and game balance issues that needed fixing, specifically on the Brevard’s Opalescent Tentacles, Disruptive Burst, Greater Disrupt Undead, Improved Disrupt Undead, Mundingle’s Arthritic Touch, and Symbol of Searing. Enjoy the new printing.

Caltrops Gets Reviewed

Remember Caltrops, that first from Hudspeth Games? Well, it just got its first review over at DriveThruRPG. Here’s what NB Neil had to say:

This is a great little supplement for GMs looking to add some flavor for characters, especially the betting kind. It’s a short read with two simple dice games that NPCs may be playing or more interestingly that your players can play to pass the time.
Some of my players aren’t as into the roleplaying portions of the game and end up heading off to the local tavern for some gambling. Though I’m sure I could have come up with some games for them to play rather than a simple skill challenge, this supplement gives two good examples with the background that goblins often play these with marked . A little fluff and a little crunch. My kind of supplement. Break out the d4′s and ante up.

Playing the Market Goes Live

Playing the Market Cover 220px My latest , Playing the Market, has just gone live at DriveThruRPG, and before I could even post this, it has a five-star review (from featured reviewer Devon Kelly):

is a handy little supplement. At 15 pages, it’s a breeze to read. The text is well written and easy to understand.
At first, the mechanic to determine availability and price of items seems very simple and not very special. But once it begins to get into determining the scarcity of an item, that’s when it really shines! The system for Modern/Future is understandably more complex, but it also determines how much time will be needed to obtain an item.
I downloaded both PDF versions that were available and was pleased to see that one is formatted to read on a computer screen and the other is formatted for printing. That’s a very nice plus.
This is well worth the price and is a wonderful supplement for those gamers who want to add in a little more uncertainty to the in-game shopping experience!
Rating: 5 of 5 Stars! [5 of 5 Stars!]

Life is sweet.

Morgenstern’s Spellbook Goes Live

Cover Display Thumbnail My second DriveThruRPG offering, ’s Spellbook is going live as I type.

Morgenstern’s Spellbook is a collection of 60 new and original . It’s designed to be used whole, as a treasure item, or as a new source of for your campaign. It was originally conceived during a spate of productivity while guest-DMing for Joe Levy’s recent D&D campaign.

As with all my work, the pdf is available through DriveThruRPG. I’m also this one up for print on demand, since it’s around 26 pages.

Slaintè,
