Atop the frigid peaks of the Unalaya, a singular ancient bridge spans the pass. This bridge links two opposing mountains and is a seldom-used path between Grey and Gwandan. Unfortunately, it is constantly patrolled by formidable Snow Orgres who guard it with unwavering determination. Your party finds itself approaching this perilous span and, having already …
Building the Fragment Since the Fragment was already an existing class, my goal was to capture that original feel from CORE, but also pump it up a bit. I wanted the Fragment to feel at home within the sci-fi world of WARP SHELL, even though it’s essentially a mage in space. How to do it …

I don’t often use Pre-Generated characters in regular games. They’re kind of reserved for introducing new players or running games at conventions. But sitting down to put these characters together is exciting because it’s an open playground. I can really do whatever I want. As I demonstrated in the video, I didn’t follow the standard …
What was this workshop about? So as EpicSloth (JD) has worked on The Waste is Not Kind, the subject of “tone” has come up a lot. How do you use the mechanics of the game to highlight a particular feeling that a GM or player might be after? Well, I can say that EpicSloth was …
