New Challengers Artwork

Here’s Ten, one of the characters in the upcoming Challengers book, as well as one of the main characters from the Lastborn pbp over on rpg.net.

Where Have I Been?

I feel like some explanation is in order for why I have been so quiet as of late. I haven’t been able to work much on Fight! because I just finished one of the toughest academic years I’ve had since I started teaching a decade ago. Today was commencement at the school, so I’m hoping [...]

Happy Easter!

For those of you who are Christian, praise God for the gift of salvation! For those of you who are not, enjoy the excuse to eat immense amounts of chocolate!

Challengers Artwork Preview

Here is Jack Sage, as promised.  Longtime fans might remember this guys as the character that won the original Lords of Battle pbp tournament conducted on the Google group.  The original character concept was of nondescript race, but with the creator’s permission, we defined him as African-American.

Challengers Update

Challengers Artwork Preview

There was a request for some art from the upcoming book, so I am happy to oblige. This is Genji, a former criminal now trying to make good. I will post some of his character sheet later on. Let me know what you think!

Challengers February Update

I was going to post about Story Points and their usage in the Fight! rules. Maybe next time. For now, I thought I’d provide a bit of an update. The school semester started about three weeks ago…and that’s about the time I ran out of time to write. I’m trying to get back into the [...]

Fight! and Gumshoe are exactly alike!

Alright, so that’s not really true. But I do see some interesting design parallels. This observation came about in two ways. First, a member of the Fight! Google group mentioned that they were using a hybrid of Gumshoe and Fight! for their campaign. They were using Gumshoe for the investigation portion of their scenarios and [...]
