So, I started my new job at TEL on November 11, and have been sprinting and trying to find my feet ever since. It’s all been “good,” in that I’m very satisfied with the changes, but it’s been, well … a lot. A few differences? I’m up way, way earlier than I used to be....

As of December 2024, Gaming Ballistic must revert to the same status as it was from 2017 through 2020: a part-time “hobby” business. To keep GB as my sole business, I needed to grow. While there seemed to be a stretch where I’d pull between 450 and even 800 backers for a given project, that...

Doing my part to wave the flag for new GURPSy things. Phil Masters’ new release GURPS Fantasy Folk: The Reptilian Races is now available on Warehouse 23.

Well. That was fast! Thanks to a healthy contribution from an early Give Me Everything pledge, Warlock Knight funded almost instantly. And despite some up and down in terms of large individual pledges, we are currently doing pretty well, with over 100 backers here in the first six hours, and folks only just now starting to get back to work. As I noted in the campaign, we’re really ahead of the game in terms of putting the book together. I have started to receive some final artwork, and I thought I’d share some. Here’s a bog mummy – a real thing – brought to life on a spread by Rick Troula, who ..read more

One of the tricks about GURPS with its one-second time scale and tactical-map resolution is that in many cases you get really, really good situational awareness just by looking at the map or VTT. This can offset the fact that the character isn’t aware of all the things the PC is aware of, but mostly in my experience it gives too much information. Peter has run into this too in Felltower, as players spend far too long determining what the perfect hex to retreat into would be. On Mook’s GURPS Discord, while I was simultaneously writing some for Mission X, the question was raised about situationa ..read more

So, she’s rounded up three other people and managed to arrange a weekly (!!) D&D game. Every Friday. Firm commits. And apparently I’m running it. “We’ll need characters for three of us; E already has one.” “Um. We make characters AFTER Session Zero. We don’t even know what game we’re playing yet.” “Hmmm. I guess that’s fair.” I must question if I’m even capable of running a game for this crowd. We shall see. I shall give it the old college try. I wonder if they’d be interested in the Dungeon Fantasy RPG…   The post My Teenage Daughter: Doing the Impossible appeared first on Gaming Bal ..read more
