Welcome to the Eldritch Archive
Hello everybody, I thought that it would be fun to celebrate the one year anniversary of this blog with a post expanding on the very first homebrew I posted. So below I have six more fighting styles and incantations for Lamentation of the Flame Princess's wonderful Carcosa module. Oh how the eldritch archive has grown! … Continue reading More Fighting Styles and Incantations for Carcosa
The following stat blocks were the result of an on-again off-again Planescape campaign I’ve been running in some form or another for about five years now. The various Lower Planes have always been interesting to me, the eternal battleground of war between the forces of pure evil, one seeking to control and dominate the universe, … Continue reading Planar Crawl Classics: Dastardly Devils
You've probably heard this one before. "I think our next game should be dark fantasy! We want a world of danger, where life is cheap and death is around every corner!" And if you're like me you probably responded with something like, "Hell yeah! That sounds awesome." And why wouldn't people be excited to play … Continue reading Dark, Deadly, and Dreary
I've been a fan of Kevin Crawford's work ever since I got my hands on the free copy of classic Stars Without Number as a wide eyed fifteen-year old who had never played an RPG in his life. So the Kickstarter of his newest game, the fantasy sandbox game Worlds Without Number, got an instant … Continue reading Mighty Deeds of Arms Hack for Worlds Without Number
If you're like me you're probably a huge fan of the old Planescape setting, and I mean, what's not to love? Eldritch beings, worlds of ideas and belief, and fifteen factions to wheel and deal with. Those factions are probably one of the things Planescape is most known for, ranging from belligerent atheists in a … Continue reading Planar Crawl Classics: Faction Abilities
Greetings Readers! Long time no see huh? As you can imagine for someone in the education profession, the start of this year has been much more complicated than it would be typically, so posting on this blog had to take a backseat to my actual job, and I do apologize for not keeping up with … Continue reading Tzeentch’s Curse for Warhammer Fantasy 4E
You all know how players are sometimes right? You put things in front of them and are always somehow surprised when they use it in some bizarre way. Sometimes you put what you thought was absolutely nothing in front of them and they run off with it like a goddamn treasure chest. As I was … Continue reading All the Little Absurdities
Currently I run for two groups, a smaller game of Warhammer 4E on Wednesdays and then a larger weekend group, where I have recently started a dark fantasy game using the Rules Cyclopedia. It has certainly been a learning experience for all of us, since most of the players have never hunkered down for a … Continue reading The Boons of Fate: Inspiration System for the OSR
We open in the swamp, The Cursed Swamp of course! As Odwin and Nicodemus trudged their way through the muck along with a mustachioed bodyguard named Wolfram and two tired scribes named Gregor and Emma. The diplomatic mission had left Altdorf about ten days ago under a cloak of secrecy. Lord Quinton, the new diplomat … Continue reading Jewel of The Wasteland: Campaign Diary #1 Welcome to Marienburg!
Lamentations of the Flame Princess is a excellent OSR game known for its horrific adventures and gruesome aesthetic. It also happens to be one of my favorite games, and I have a particular love for one of its wildest and weirdest settings. Strange is the night where black stars rise... Carcosa is a twin-sunned, many-mooned … Continue reading Fighting Styles and Incantations for Carcosa
