One of my earliest childhood memories was visiting my grandfather in Garden Hill. Chateau Challice was a white farmhouse, windmill, sunroom, and everything, at the top of a hill. I thought the 'Garden HIll' was my grandpa's place. I remember visiting the general store with my Dad and spying a really cool spaceship toy. Being an easy-going guy he bought it for me. It was a Captain Harlock spaceship, maybe the Arcadia, maybe one of his support vehicles? I'm not sure, but I do r

This session covers the harm of a horrid curse, and how Ironlanders deal with it. There was not a lot of danger, but it did involve grueling work in service to the departed. It also expressed how complete strangers can come together in the face of a great tragedy . Kia and Gruff spent the night on the beach. The fire was warm, the sky was clear and they gained the rest they desperately needed. The next morning they hiked up the trail to Raven Falls. It was a long climb but

I rolled a lot of misses in this session. It didn't kill our heroes but certainly made things more interesting. Kiah and Gruff spent a few days in Great Mount. Kiah shared some of her famous stories, however, few people in the city listened. Some even laughed at her. She was a Brokenhelm bumpkin after all. On the third day, Gruff found that some of their supplies had been stolen. [Sourjun: Miss] That evening, in the temple after prayers, Kiah brought such up to her grandmothe

Pirates of the Dragon Spiral was a small setting book I published in conjunction with PIP Worlds. It's a fun, piratical setting with swashbuckling, spirits, and spaceships. I'm rather proud of it. The PIP system is a fast and loose TTRPG with enough crunch to customize your game to make something really special. I like it very much and recommend checking it out. Pirates of the Dragon Spiral: King of the Smoke will be a solo journalling game that uses the same setting and is

This first session of Dream Chaser ended in a direction I did not expect. However, that is to be expected in Ironsworn . The spooky Icelandic nature of Kiah's current quest speaks to me. One chilly afternoon bright Kiah ran into her weathered father, Tristan, dealing with a group of angry townsfolk. Her huge brother Gruff stood beside him with his arms crossed. "They're taking our fish!" "They do that AND ask tribute!" "We keep Ikram's grave. He'd be ashamed how his mother t

One of my current projects is Pirates of the Dragon Spiral - King of the Smoke, a journalling game that uses Ironsworn: Starforged . It's really fun, I've spent days playing it and the original game. I showed up on the Ironsworn discord and had some chats. One such chat lead to a neat story idea for an Ironsworn game. So I thought I'd share it here. I just finished the game setup. Great Mount Great Mount was founded when the People first landed in the Ironlands. They fled the

I'm Chris Challice, I tell stories and write games. My focus is on the mystical, magic runs through everything I write. I admired wizards as a kid and that never left me. For myself, I have written: Space Pirate Alice Black - Blood Tribute It's a dark solo adventure book where you play a feline space pirate who needs to navigate a vicious struggle between wolf houses. It uses Evil Hat's Fate RPG . You can Alice Black Blood Tribute here . Orboboros A homage to a certain consol
