Some galactic gamemaster at his office
I have posted loads of loads of tabletop role-playing game blog articles. They can all be found in this blog tag. Therefore, this tag covers everything from actual play write-ups to RPG artwork to homebrewed stats to miscellaneous weird crap.
EOTE Tabletop Day Episode: Together Again For The First Time
Edged by the Empire Episode 10 Together Again For The First Time Previously on Edged by the Empire… It was International Tabletop Day again, and like last year we played Star Wars Edge of the Empire again. However we played not on a table, but on the floor. With the 15 XP carried over from the previous session, Irfan bought the Grit talent for his smuggler character Hondo Pash, increasing his Strain. The finale for the campaign that started on January 2013 with Escape from Mos Shuuta begins… One Man Revolution Radiation and stellar gases swamped the Shadda-Bi-Boran system from its primary star. A squadron of five Star Destroyers aided by numerous smaller corvettes and tenders manoeuvred themselves to surround a three-klick wide asteroid that sheltered a secret Imperial base that belonged to Admiral Keargan Kanu. As the cordon closed in on the flat lump of rock, Admiral Kanu was […]

Laundry Photo Goes Viral For Some Reason
When I was reading the Laundry RPG rulebook away from home in Lunas, I thought I’d take a photo of the “What is a Roleplaying Game” section of the book and post it on Google Plus and Twitter. Here’s the link on G+. Over 130 reshares! And on Twitter the picture achieved close to a phenomenal 1,100 retweets! Here’s the screencap I took when it hit a thousand retweets. Even Cubicle 7, the publisher of the Laundry RPG, mentioned it on their official website! As usual I’m blaming the viral outbreak on the many-angled ones living at the bottom of the Mandelbrot Set.

Paper Minis: Clone Wars Batch 1
For a bunch of folk on different sides of and profiteering from a war, they look good together. The character design for The Clone Wars animated series was amazingly done, although Aurra Sing was designed for The Phantom Menace. Here they are as paper minis, as commissioned by Brian Purvis for his son’s birthday but because of lack of computer resources and limited internet access after my move, I was late in delivering it. Download, print and assemble them here!

EOTE: Adversity of the Unexpected
Edged by the Empire Episode 09 Adversity of the Unexpected Previously on Edged by the Empire… Ticket to Ride A pair of grey Aratech 74-Z speeder bikes – modified to have no flight ceiling – flew westward from the city of Shoribus, the capital city of Kabal in the Mayagil Sector, on a personal mission. Smuggler Hondo Pash‘s sister Yuzy and mother Doro were abducted by his father, whom he recently learned was an Imperial Admiral named Keargan Kanu. To retrieve them, he would have to find Admiral Kanu. The only clue as to where Kanu might be is his secret weapon cache located upon the vast Skolaris Cliff. As they passed over thick swamps with winding rivers and the occasional gargantuan trees that towered over everything else, Giin Lawquane, the armored mercenary and security officer in the other speeder spoke via his helmet comlink, “Bothth. What if Yuzy doethn’t […]

EOTE: On the Trail of Dad
Edged by the Empire Episode 08 On The Trail of Dad Previously on Edged by the Empire… Irfan had 35 XPs, so he blew it on a couple of more Talents, namely a second Skilled Jockey, a second Galaxy Mapper and Improved Dead to Rights. He was free of any Obligations for this episode after rolling an 81. (His Obligation: Family is 30 and Giin’s Obligation: Bounty is 20). Finally the Destiny pool was 2 light side and one dark side. On his homeworld of Blue Nirvada, the young smuggler Hondo Pash, the captain of the Lava Jaeger has discovered that both his parents, long thought to be dead, were still alive and appeared to be mortal enemies. His mother was Doro Pash and his father, the Imperial Admiral Keargan Kanu. Upon Hondo and his armoured mercenary guard Giin Lawquane rescuing his aunt Zosy Pash from Imperial agents, Zosy revealed […]

Alterkine RPG Aliens
I was commissioned by HermaDolph to illustrate ten alien species artwork for the Alterkine role playing game. Behind the scenes story: I completed one piece of this series before the 8-year-old Linux laptop I’ve been using for work finally died. Details will be told in a future entry. I completed the rest with a underpowered netbook which took longer than it usually did. In any case, here they are in alphabetical order (and purchase the Alterkine: Player’s Handbook at DriveThruRPG here! ) Purchase the Alterkine: Player’s Handbook at DriveThruRPG here!

Eclipse Phase: The Viking Funeral Undertaking
Static. A disjoint in time, and perhaps space. Venus is a thread in another wisp of memory. I see red and grey skies over the maglev as it speeds toward the city of Ashoka through the dry, rocky Martian desert. I used to be Hokusai the neo-octopus artist, on the run from Nine Lives the soul stealing crime cartel. Now I walk on two legs in a ghost morph, in a physical body optimised for stealth operations. With me is the female async Quill, her telepathic mind percolating with a thousand paper cranes. Back in Valles-New Shanghai, we are the only two members of Fastball Express hypercorp who answer the VR call from one Mr. Miyazaki. He gives us the time and invitation for an upcoming Zanzibar marketplace that would occur in 30 hours in Ashoka. There a neo-gorilla named Winston will be attempting to sell something valuable and rare: […]

EOTE: I Was Young When I Left Home
Edged by the Empire Episode 07 I Was Young When I Left Home Previously on Edged by the Empire… Irfan did not use any of his 15 XP to upgrade his character Hondo Pash. He rolled Destiny Points for the PC and the two main NPCs, who are basically auxiliary PCs anyway. Blowin’ In The Wind Recently departed from the port of Silverlake in the Naboo system, the Lava Jaeger flew into Blue Nirvada‘s atmosphere, a frozen ocean world orbiting a blue dwarf star in the Tarabba Sector. However, there was a vicious snowstorm along their flight path toward Obsidian Island, the hometown of Captain Hondo Pash and his 9-year-old sister Yuzy Pash where they grew up. The armoured mercenary gunslinger Giin Lawquane in the co-pilot seat with the BlasTech EE-3 blaster rifle slung on his back asked, “Do we wait it out?” Hondo took a second to ruminate, then […]

Paper Minis: Just Plain Photos
It was a slow work day and I got bored. So I played with the Star Wars RPG paper miniatures I made. No new paper minis. No game sessions. Just me playing with some cheap, homemade Star Wars toys. After a fashion. Here are some Hutt goons storming into Chalmun’s Cantina at Mos Eisley, leaving their protocol droid by the door. The Ortolan cook has enough of their crap. An Imperial officer leads a collection of troopers down into the cantina’s basement, perhaps for some hooch for the battalion. Out in the streets of Mos Eisley, a phalanx of assassin droids attempt to corner some Imperial troops. Three Chiss ladies and their coterie of astromech droids run this YT-1300 light freighter. Alliance troops and pilots investigates the YT-1300. A LOM-series protocol droid scurries to safety. A Gran and a Gand are imprisoned while an officer leads a squad of Imperial […]

Star Frontiers: Balneum Blue
Last year I illustrated some pictures for Balneum Blue, an article for Star Frontiers RPG. And after more than a year it’s finally released in the pages (and the cover) of Star Frontiersman magazine issue 25! Here’s the cover I did, of some gigantic floating aquatic jellyfish creatures called the hydrozoan. The planet known as Balneum Blue has an intelligent native species called the Gnatha that live in biotech coral cities. All the image above needs is a map of all the train stops. Download Star Frontiersman #25 for free to read more about the planet here. Check out the other images I made for the article in my gallery.

Paper Minis: Outer Rim Ladies
Here are paper miniatures of some ladies who live and work in the Outer Rim Territories. They might be scouts, colonists, doctors, outlaw techs, diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers. Wait! Wrong sci-fi franchise, but still applicable for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game! As a bonus, there’s also a Chiss version of the same ladies because Chiss stats for player characters are in the recent Enter the Unknown supplement for Star Wars Edge of the Empire. These could easily stand for Chiss scouts, traders and agents of the Chiss Expeditionary Defense Force from Csilla way out beyond the rim in Wild Space. Have fun with them. Download and assemble from Google Drive here.

Assembling the Patreon Paperminis
Here’s a quick tutorial on what to do with the paperminis once you’ve downloaded them from the Hishgraphics Papermini Patreon page and printed them out. My free paperminis earlier were a no-frills, plain flat affairs which had no base for them to stand on. Those paper minis, when assembled, required a base assembly. For the Patreon paperminis, I thought I’d include something extra: several options for bases. Here are some thoughts on how you can assemble the minis. The above is a printout of the free downloadable PDF sample of skeletons and wraiths from my post at the Patreon page. It was printed onto white card stock. Then I sliced and diced it to extract the papermini elements. As can be seen above, each element folds back onto itself on top (towards the papermini’s head) along a blue dashed line. But it also has base tabs on the bottom (towards […]
