Nostalgia Thursday - 30 Sided Assistance

Many of you are aware of the tragic circumstances now faced by our friends and relatives in South Carolina.  The flooding has been devastating from a storm that is being touted as a once-in-a-thousand-years event.  It's that bad.  In an effort to render some assistance, CMG's "30 Things Can Happen!" has been added to the "South Carolina 2015 Floods Bundle" spearheaded by Fat Goblin Games here.


As many may recall, "30 Things Can Happen!" was meant to be a tribute to the d30, the thirty-sided die.  It was also meant as a homage on the 30th anniversary of the publication of The Armory's "30 Sided Dice Gaming Tables."


Recently while at a Half Price Books in the area, I picked up a book I'd forgotten existed.  It is the sequel to the above book called The Armory's "30 Sided Character and Other Tales."  It came out a few years after the first and it might require me to make a sequel as well.  Since I focused on situations and locations in my first homage, I think my follow up should be all about characters, quirks, and backgrounds.


Focusing on the roots of current tabletop gaming
with an eye toward the last century and before.

The Sunday Miscellanea - Nepal Charity Bundle, Battle Damage, & The Undercity

Over on RPGNow.com and its affiliated outlets, a group of concerned artist and creators joined forces to put forth the "Cardboard Warriors Nepal Charity Bundle" which is selling for $15 for a $140 value.  See more here.


Also, from the WIRED YouTube channel, they've titled a recent video "Giant Star Wars LEGO Super Star Destroyer Shattered at 1000 fps | Battle Damage."  Enjoy.



Finally, coming next Fall from Privateer Press, a new boardgame set in the Iron Kingdoms purports to bring many RPG aspects to that type of game design.  It's called "The Undercity" and more information can be found here.



Essentially, a clearinghouse for topics on MFWARS.com
