Pits Perilous: April 2015
http://pitsperilous.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Being in the Main the Mouth of Olde House Rules. Thursday, April 30, 2015. Armor Piercing in Pits and Perils. In Pits and Perils, armor provides bonus hit points (and greater survivability per Infernal Realms). Fine. But how does one depict armor piercing weaponry in this kind of game system? How about a sword 1 vs. armored opponents? The game already does this with the axe of hewing ( 2 vs. shield using enemies). So consider the following ready to use weaponry:. Armor piercing blades are deadly,. We all...

Being in the Main the Mouth of Olde House Rules. Saturday, November 29, 2014. The Powers That Be (A Review). This time around, we're looking at The Powers That Be. Another supplement under the Pits and Perils (P&P) OSL, published and written by Bryan Steward of Black Paperclip Games; the same folks who delivered us The Uncanny Abode and Final Resting Place. Only now, it's the very gods themselves on offer. The Powers That Be presents a cosmology in just 10-pages. And does so with surprising results!

Pits Perilous: July 2015
http://pitsperilous.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Being in the Main the Mouth of Olde House Rules. Friday, July 31, 2015. With the recent release of Retrospace. A pulp science fiction expansion to Blood of Pangea. We wanted to reconcile these two very disparate, and yet closely linked, genres. The following alien cosmology is NOT canonical by ANY stretch of the imagination, but might serve as inspiration still. Sword and sorcery and sci-fi are. Closely related in many not-so-obvious ways. Note here that if this idea seems to take the wonder out of any d...

Being in the Main the Mouth of Olde House Rules. Friday, July 25, 2014. The Pits and Perils of Armor. Pits and Perils (P&P) treats armor differently, and this post aims to explain why and what we were thinking. As gamers, we've grown accustomed to armor granting constant and uniform protection. However, there's little to suggest that this is actually true, and some evidence to the contrary. We assume the following:. The benefits of armor worn diminish greatly over time. Now, in our system. So what does a...

http://pitsperilous.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Being in the Main the Mouth of Olde House Rules. Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Contemplatives in Pits and Perils. Clerics in Pits and Perils were conceived primarily as holy (or alternately, unholy) warriors supplemented by healing abilities and power over undead enemies, etc. Clerics are NOT formulaic spell casters in the fashion of magical practitioners, but rather, pious folk who call upon their god(s) for aid:. Help me, , I'm in trouble (Ally). Help me, , I'm really sick (Cure). CONTEMPLATIVES are religi...
