Medieval Demographics Made Easy
Fantasy worlds come in many varieties, from the "hard core" medieval-simulation school to the more fanciful realms of high fantasy, with alabaster castles and jeweled gardens in the place of the more traditional muddy squalor. Despite their differences, these share a vital common element: ordinary people. Most realms of fantasy, no matter how baroque or magical, can not get by without a supply of ordinary farmers, merchants, quarreling princes and palace guards. Clustered into villages and crowding the cities, they provide the human backdrop for adventure. Of course, doing the research necessary to find out how common a large city should be, or how many shoemakers can be found in a town, can take up time not all GMs have available.Pen and Paper Roleplaying A group dedicated to the old fashioned roleplaying games - you know, the type where you take on the role of an imaginary character in an imaginary setting and roll dice to try to do stuff.

Dungeon Crawl Classics
You’re an adventurer: a reaver, a cutpurse, a heathen-slayer, a tight-lipped warlock guarding long-dead secrets. You seek gold and glory, winning it with sword and spell, caked in the blood and filth of the weak, the dark, the demons, and the vanquished. There are treasures to be won deep underneath, and you shall have them. Return to the glory days of fantasy with the Dungeon Crawl Classics Role Playing Game. Adventure as 1974 intended you to, with modern rules grounded in the origins of sword & sorcery.
Sherpa RPG - Intro
Latest addition: Philippe DeBernay sent me a suggestion to replace the "luck token" idea - nothing to carry! He kindly gave me permission to post his idea about slip knots as luck tokens here. I have simply scanned the portion of his letter dealing with slip knots and posted it here as jpg file (214 KB), as it contains a useful illustration: Sherpa character cards and GM aid sheet by Bob Portnell - thanks, Bob! Bob also wrote a review of Sherpa published in Pyramid Magazine.

Saturday Night Delves #1: Revenge of the Iron Lich | Save Versus Death
It’s been a long time coming. I want to extend a hearty thanks to my co-author, Jerry LeNeave of Dread Gazebo , who was nothing but fun to work with and a constant source of inspiration. Second, I want to say thanks to Taylor Bennett , who has done an amazing job with the artwork for this adventure. Seeing her illustrated handouts are rewards in their own right – which is why they’re mostly saved for secret areas.
The Escapist - the reality of fantasy games
Welcome to The Escapist , a web page devoted to the betterment of role-playing games and the education of the public and media of their benefits to society. T abletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons are an engaging and intellectually stimulating activity that promote teamwork, problem solving, and creative thinking. Even better, in hands of a parent, guardian, or educator, they can be a fantastic teaching tool. U nfortunately, the role-playing hobby has acquired a reputation for being geeky, dangerous, occultic, satanic, and even causing players to be prone to suicide or homicide.Heimskringla is a free, D&D Open Game Content database that is capable of dynamically selecting many types of D&D content, and displaying all of it in a clear, uniform manner that conforms to the 'standards' for display in the handbooks.
