We occasionally make play aids to help us run other games. Some of them are available here.
My Life with Master
Paul Czege’s timeless game of minions serving a horrific Master is one of my all-time favorites. Learn more about the game here.
- A Manifesto on Mastery – My thoughts on how to best run the game
- Classic Formulae Sheet – The classic summary sheet of the game’s various formulae I put together for my first game
- PbtA-style Reference Sheet – I reformatted the formulae as if they were Moves in a Powered by the Apocalypse game
- Interactive Google Sheet – Great for online gaming, it allows each minion player their own tab to track their scores, and a tab for the GM to view the state of the game as it progresses. Still a work in progress.
Swords Without Master
Epidiah Ravachol’s groundbreaking sword-and-sorcery story-generating machine in the form of a role-playing game. I’ve never played a session of this where the story did not come together as though it were always meant to be there! It’s a game Descended from the Dome, which inspired my own With Great Power – Master Edition. Learn more about the game here.
- The Anatomy of Swords Without Master – A haphazard attempt to trace how the game works, a partial collaboration with other members of the Swords Without Master community on Google Plus. It was very useful to me in designing WGP, and others in shaping their own Descended from the Dome games.
