SPLATTER-ELF: The RPG
I'm currently working on my own role-playing game called "Splatter-Elf: Grimmer than Grimdark Role-Playing" (title is a work in progress). It uses a blend of old-school and new-school RPG mechanics and is set in a world of over-the-top violence and pokes a little tongue-in-cheek humour at the tropes of modern dark fantasy. It was inspired by some of Philip Overby's posts on the 2014 A-to-Z Blogging Challenge.
Here are the current posts I've written about Splatter-Elf, courtesy of Rule of the Dice:
- Introduction
- Character Creation
- Combat
- Blood Magic
- Equipment and Other Classes
- Monsters
- Update on New Rules and Spells
- The Dragons of Splatter-Elf
- History of Splatter-Elf: The Grumblesnatch Wars
And here are some actual play reports on the play-tests so far:
- First Session
- Second Session
- Third Session
- Fourth Session (in which Mr. Overby joins us at the table!)
- Fifth Session
