Gamer+ News January 6, 2020
Tonight! On Inspired Unreality we will host the Related To Geeks Podcast discussing just what it was that we did in 2019. Looking back, not forward, we attended conventions, hosted conventions, produced podcasts, wrote minizines, shot vlogs, started Gamer+, yes, 2019 has been a big year for Related To Geeks.
Inspired Unreality is an open game chat held in the gamerplus chatrooms at Tenkars Tavern on Discord. As always, you are invited to participate. You can let us know what geeky stuff you did in 2019.
Our last podcast, Role Playing Memories, is here.
https://anchor.fm/relatedtogeeks/episodes/Related-To-Geeks---Season-2-Episode-4---Role-Playing-Memories-e9v3ao
FollowMeAndDie went copper with his "Random Dungeon, City, & Travel Generation" pdf on DriveThruRPG.
https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/293659/Random-Dungeon-City--Travel-Generation?affiliate_id=203222
He also released "Arctic & Glacial Terrain & Encounters". I read it and liked it and I wrote a short review about why I like it.
https://gamerplus.org/newsfeed/1971?ft=site
JesseQ and ZDL had a New Year's Eve dice rolling.
https://gamerplus.org/newsfeed/1975?ft=site
All I can say is "ZDL, what are those dice anyway?"
I started a Just Quest Group all about my Just Quest role playing system and our Milyagon adventures. I posted "Yon Rogar's Hat" to DriveThruRPG/Fiction and I'll soon have a link for "Just Quest" too.
https://gamerplus.org/groups/30
Please stop by and join. It's kind of lonely in here now.
As I put our Milyagon Quests up on DriveThru I am taking the opportunity to rework the stats so they fit right with Just Quest. They started as generic OSR but I pulled from several different systems and the results are somewhat confused.
I know that roll low is a thing but I don't like that thing. Gamers want to roll high. A nat 20 or a 6 on a D6 should always be good. Never bad. So I got to fix that.
Got news? Let me know. I cover a lot of my projects here because I know about them. If I knew about your projects I would be glad to write about them. So let me know.
Thanks,
Hairy Larry
