This ended up being a great session. Really leaned into the Concept Crafting in this Survival Sandbox Scenario (S^3 ;)) to great effect. I try to write these PRs within a day...
-
Despite a few hiccups on my part, this was another good session bringing some new stuff to the table. In fact, one of the players said it was their favorite session yet, and...
-
Another FIST-related post, this time a set of "Third Factions", inspired by some conversations we were having on the FIST discord server. FIST (the faction in the setting)...
-
I've been growing interested in FIST, a rules-light RPG with a very Metal Gear Solid vibe, but in a way that feels true to Kojima and not just derivative, and taking other...
-
I was worried how this session would go, because there was very little in the way of "encounters" in the traditional sense or anything that would require them to use their...
-
This is an old draft, way before I decided to start using Concept Crafting for Mecha Gear. I think in all likelihood it's too fiddly, and I wasn't satisfied with it even at the...

I'm a few sessions into my MRD2 Campaign. Scheduling an IRL game is a nightmare or else I'd have liked to be a bit further into the campaign by now, but it's nice to be playing...

Previous PRs and general MRD2 contextThe CorporationRegeXperience: “Live for the RegeXperience”. Childishly edgy experimental entertainment and defense company that doesn’t...

No, this isn't about Vancian vs. such-and-such. I guess it's more like different schools of magic like Illusion, Evocation, etc., but it's not bound to those classifications...
-
Library of Attnam has started doing Quarter Hour of Writing (QHW) Challenges in the vein of my old 5 Minute Challenges. I like the idea of bumping it up to 15min, but I also...

I'm moving in a couple of days, not very far, but still stressful, so in my procrastination on packing and prepping, here's another not-review of an obscure-ish Mecha...
-
I've enjoyed creating these Weird Mecha / Golem for MRD2. Two of the PCs in my MRD2 Campaign are using them (Chemysterious Cascader and Lycaon Strain), and one of them showed...
-
I've previously discussed being a big fan of the Super Robot Wars videogames, and especially since MRD2 is partially Mecha-focused, I've been trying to expose myself to more...
-
Second session, first in the Golem! I was a bit worried about this one because we're still getting in the groove and I didn't have much time to prep, but once again I felt...
-
New Game New Campaign! I will still be playing in a new MRD1 Campaign with the previous group online, being GMed by one of the Players of that campaign, but I'm also running an...

The idea is loosely inspired by Vampire Hunter D, specifically Volume 5. What is an undead dream? This post was originally drafted in like 2019 and I was never sure what to do...

I am involved in a collaborative blog! See the description from Screwhead's tweet below:Iconoclastic Flow is a collaborative blog, with content from Max of Weird and Wonderful...
-
I get really excited about timey-wimey stuff, but then inevitably get frustrated when either I overcomplicate it or fail to explain it coherently or whatever, so I will try not...

The final play reports for my >1yr long Maximum Recursion Depth campaign. I can't fully express just how happy I am with how this all resolved, and how grateful I am for my...

This is the second batch of tables/Mecha, see first post here and an explanation of how this word-based Mecha Gear system works here.Mecha are sometimes described as being a...

An earlier version of this post was first shared on The Cauldron. I've fallen behind a bit and digging into my backlog, but I do have a few upcoming blog posts in mind that are...
-
I wanted to find more screenshots of the show to share but most of the screenshots I've seen fail to capture what makes this show so interesting, which is a shame, because it...
-
This was originally intended as a comment on Patrick Stuart's blog post WHAT IS FLOW CONTROL?? (AND WHY SHOULD I CARE?) but my comment was too long so I'm just making it it's...
-
Maximum Recursion Depth is now available on Exalted Funeral! It should be available print+pdf later today (as of posting). I've been vocal about the fact that I'm a very...

In moving forward with the idea of using Tarsos Theorem's Concept Crafting for the basis of my Mecha Gear system in Maximum Recursion Depth 2, I have run a series of "Mock...

We interrupt this broadcast of the normally scheduled Weird & Wonderful Worlds blog to traverse the other WWW (the Weird Wonderful Wavelength decomposed like an overzealous...

I had a dream last night (as of when this was drafted, not posted) that got rudely interrupted by construction just as it was wrapping up. It would make a great story that I...

MRD2 is underway, as I've alluded to in previous blog posts. Similar to how much changed between the earliest MRD1 blog posts and the final book, treat this as Proof of...Linked by the ring

After >1yr, we've decided to wrap up our MRD campaign. I was developing the MRD core book simultaneously, so this campaign informed a lot of the tone, setting, and content that...

Fiona needs no introduction; if you're reading this blog you definitely know who she is already. What you may not know is that she is the editor of Maximum Recursion Depth and...
