Ablution: A Dungeon Poem

Image
This is in response to Patrick Stuart's dungeon poem post way back in February. What can I say? I'm slow. Better ones by better writers are posted here . Map by Dyson Logos. Original located  here . Ablution: A Dungeon Poem 1. Three darknesses sulk in sorrow telling tales that end in silence: one lies, one whispers, one speaks in tongues— the delicacy of livers draws them near. 2. An old man withers, scrawls notes on walls in words he does not know; here, bones go to die. 3. Taste each barrel & beware the order or despair; colors run, sounds unwind, flesh & bone in stone entwine. 4. What you build will fail: the only out is through yet within the pit the ghasts await your warm embrace. 5. Shallows lap upon rocks like dogs at sup & hunger to grind flesh between pebbled teeth; feed them & learn answers to questions witches dare not ask. 6.

THIS LIST IS NO LONGER UPDATED AS OF 2022-10-18 I have a soft spot in my heart for Lasers & Feelings . I use it in my Digital Narratives class to introduce narrative design to my cRPG-loving students who have never played an analog RPG before, and they grasp it right away. I didn't think anyone had compiled a list of all available Lasers & Feelings mods that are out there, so I decided to do it myself. I have since learned that there is another list over at writingalchemy.net that started in January 2018 that is organized by theme.  This list, however, is straight-up alphabetical because I am lazy. These are English-language only because that's the only language I speak & read, too.  So, here we go: The Original Lasers & Feelings fan-made character sheet another fan-made character sheet fan-made  Lasers & Feelings supplemental fan-made character portraits for con games the song that inspired the game The Hacks & Mods Aces Ahoy Ac...

Heydare! It's been awhile. I've been over on G+ mostly, neglecting this blog. But here's something I stumbled across: Tunnels & Trolls: Crusaders of Khazan PC Game Manuals  at the Computer Game Museum : Game Manual Ref Card  (contains errata for game manual) Clue Book You could run a whole game of T&T right from these, as they seem to be based on the 1979 5th edition rules. Be sure to download the clue book for maps, encounters, magic items, and a bestiary!
