A "smash-up," also known as a mash-up, bootleg, blend, cut-up, crossover, or powermix, is a song or composition created when a producer blends a pair (or more) of previously existing songs, generally by combining the vocal track from one song with the instrumental track of another. Smash-ups have been around a long time but became a renewed cultural phenomenon with 2004's Grey Album , a smash-up by Danger Mouse of Jay-Z's Black Album and the Beatles' White Album. Mash-ups are not confined to music, of course. Videogames have smash-ups (often called "mods") and so do tabletop RPGs. Smashing up RPGs has been defined as "replacing major rules components with components from different games " or "taking two games in your collection and mixing them together ."

Unlike a Traveller Sandbox making a Fantasy Sandbox is less straightforward. This is because Traveller at the stellar level has a uniform geography while a fantasy setting can have any type of geography imaginable including the fantastic like lands floating on shards of a shattered world.

Prep-Lite Wireframe How To - Gnome Stew, the Game Mastering Blog
In my last installment of Prep-Lite , I talked about the concept of Wireframes & Skins ; using and re-using condensed NPC stat blocks, as a way to reduce prep time. In this article I am going to discuss, in more detail, some of the assumptions I was working under, how I condensed the stats I needed, and how I populated different tiers of NPC’s. The Assumptions So lets start with a few assumptions that guide this whole process.Caverns of Lakoma: A Dungeon Diagram...

Monster of the Week: Aboleth | Dice of Doom
Aboleths are large and intelligent marine creatures not to be confused with an Axolotl, another strange fishy creature also starting with ‘A’.I posted briefly about this before , when it was first announced that the new version would be coming. Now that I've actually read the rules and also the first released adventure, I have further thoughts on the subject. I should state up front that I have yet to actually play the game.
