Dinosaur Riding Barbarians: Stego-Hittites and Raptor Scythians

Imperium RomanumLeave a comment

The last of the nations from Dinosaur Riding Barbarians are the Stego-Hittites and the Raptor Scythians. After this I will have to start making actually new content again. Or find some other old project to cannibalize for blog posts. One or the other. Minor formatting error in this post brought to you by the WordPress editor being wonky. For some reason I can’t make the Raptor Scythians header an actual header without turning the entire section into a header.

Dinosaur Riding Barbarians: Tyrannassyria and Brachiosumeria

Imperium RomanumLeave a comment

Digging once more into the well of previously made work that I thought I’d exhausted, here are the descriptions for various lands in Dinosaur Riding Barbarians, a TTRPG I’ve made that I still plan to complete…someday. Currently it’s maybe 60% of the way through a first draft. Completing the system isn’t much of a priority right now, but you might find the fluff useful for other games.

The Problem With Mario Timelines

I’m not even going to pretend that I’m not procrastinating a little here, but with the buffer barely over a week (which means I have almost no breathing room at all if I want to keep content coming to my patrons a week early) I’ll take whatever random nonsense I can hammer out in an hour just to give me more breathing room. Can you tell this wasn’t supposed to be a one-man project?

Anyway, below the break we’ll talk about the problem with Mario timelines. Obviously the problem is ultimately that the Mario games have paper-thin plots with little to no continuity, but there’s a more specific problem that makes them hard to assemble into a timeline – and this more specific problem is relatively recent.

The Gathering Storm Is Bad: 40k Is Not Epic Fantasy

Imperium RomanumLeave a comment

We’re coming to the conclusion of why the Gathering Storm is bad and addressing its most severe problems in this post, where we’ll tackle the problems that came through in Rise of the Primarch and especially those in the leak of the fourth book, as well as how those problems lurked under the surface of the first two books.
