New page : Bestiary

 I've just added a new monstrous page for home made creatures. This bestiary will gather all the original creatures my players will have to face during their adventures. For now I will only release an illustration but the characteristics should follow soon.

This is also the opportunity to try Dall-E. Since I am not really good at drawing (except maps maybe) generative AI will be definitely helpful in this task. By the way, the tool is really impressive !

 Tell me what you think of this first monster...

Backgrounds for Humans, Elves, Dwarves and Halflings

 Today I am sharing the outstanding work of Gerald Vincent who created background tables for Humans, Elves, Dwarves and Halflings. For each race, you will be able to determine the origine of your character and from there the corresponding skills and talents. (Sorry for non French readers, but do not hesitate to ask if you need a translation for some parts)

Here are preview pictures (links below):


 
 
 


Here are links to the .pdf files :

Warhammer RPG V2 : NPC sheets

 As I couldn't find any suitable NPC sheet anywhere, I have made my own (in French):


 The goal was to create a light and easy to fill character sheet. Please feel free to share, give feedback and edit.

The .pdf file can be downloaded here

Reviving Heroquest is dead. Long live Alea Jacta Erat

 Today is the first day of the new a new era for this Blog. After several years dedicated to Heroquest, it will now open up to Role Playing Games in general.

Why such a change ?

As readers may have noticed, this blog has not only been about Heroquest but it has also given tips to play with children. You can find the articles here.

As time flows, the children are getting older. To the point that they finally got out of the dungeon to earn the ultimate reward : a whole new dimension to the game. For those interested, the ultimate quest was briefly depicted in this post.


Where does the new name comes ?

Alea Jacta Erat is the past tense of the latin quote "Alea Jacta Est" ("The die is cast" in English). This of course refers to the random part of every role playing game. Which is materialized by the typical multi-faced dice.

But this name also has another historical meaning for the author of this Blog and the first one who will guess it will get a very special reward... It's up to you !!!


What will come next ?

As a logical continuation of the previous articles, the first RPG that will be featured here will be Warhammer.

I am currently mastering two campaigns : one IRL and one on a forum (in French). Both campaigns being linked, only those who follow the later one will learn about the IRL one. Note that anyone interesting in starting another campaign (online or IRL) should not hesitate to send me a message.

As a consequence, you will find very soon resources for Warhammer RPG featured on this blog.
