Drive·10 Mockups: Dungeon Delvers
Note: This post is now updated to the current 1.1 Revision of Drive·10 Today I wanted to show some mock-ups for using the D·10 framework to run a high-action, mid-fantasy dungeon delving game. Let’s start with a few player characters, and then I’ll also share some sample NPCs. Player Characters Garn, a Nomadic Barbarian Garn is the combat power house of this trio.

Keep an Eye On: Against the Darkmaster
I am shocked that I’m not seeing any buzz over this awesome upcoming title. Let’s remedy that. Against the Darkmaster is a game that started out as a clone/house-ruled version of Middle Earth Role-Playing and Rolemaster but has evolved into its own game. The authors list various inspirations from books by Tolkien, Brooks and Goodkind to movies from 70’s and 80’s like Dragonslayer and Krull. They even have an extensive Spotify playlist of heavy metal music and really you should just go look at their God-damned awesome looking website. Continue reading
The Plant Hack: Mutant Plants for The Rad Hack
The Mutant class in The Rad Hack is pretty flexible — you can easily be a mutant animal, plant, or some other strange humanoid. Still, I’ve had friends, followers, and even my spouse talk about how they wished the “Mutant Plant” was a class on its own. I decided to homebrew my own variant Plant class by re-skinning powers that already existed in the game. Enjoy!
