[Postmortem Studios] Living Constructs

Golems make excellent servants, tireless, tough and obedient, but they lack that spark of life and adaptability that free thinking people have. Some have tried to instil their creations with some imitation of the free though, the soul, that ‘real’ people have with varying degrees of success and sometimes spectacular failure. When a slave has the ability to recognise that it is a slave it chafes against that control and seeks to free itself from it. Some of those constructs have managed to win their freedom through violence, labour, the death of their creator or their largesse and these constructs have gained true freedom, true self determination and true souls, becoming complete. Now these freed slaves form an ever growing community of liberated beings and they are learning to make more of themselves.

Living Constructs provides the opportunity to play self-determining devices, golems and constructs in D&D4E campaigns and game worlds.

Living Constructs is available at RPGNow.com.

Animalcast Episode 83

Hey! Whatcha Playin'?

In this episode of the podcast, Mike and Kyle introduce answer the ever-burning question-- Hey, dude! Whatcha playin'? And they spend the hour discussing all the various and sundry roleplaying games that they've experimented with over the last several weeks. But as it turns out, they've both only played Paizo's Pathfinder.
Specifically, they both only played the Rise of the Runelords campaign. But they love it, as loyal listeners well know. They spend time talking about problems that have arisen and how they've adapted the campaigns to the particular problems with their groups.

Enjoy the podcast and, as always... you're welcome.

Announcing Madison Games Day

Matt M. McElroy (of Flames Rising and DriveThruComics.com) and Jason L Blair (designer of Little Fears) announce Madison Games Day, a ten-hour event dedicated to introducing Madison, Wisconsin area residents to meet new people and play new games.

Madison Games Day will take place on Saturday, May 30th 2009 at the Pizza Oven on Monona Drive. From 12p until 10p, Madison, WI area gamers are invited to stop in, meet local players, and try new games. A variety of games are slated for play and attendees are urged to bring their own as well. Have a game you want to try but your regular group isn't into? Bring it! Have a hankering to dust off an old favorite for one more spin? Bring it! Want to give a game you weren't sure about another shot? Bring it! There is an official event schedule but pick-up games are encouraged. If you have something you want to run or play, bring it along!

If you have games you no longer play or wish to own, bring them too! A table will be available for attendees to display copies they're looking to sell or trade.

For complete information on Madison Games Day, to register an event, or view the existing event line-up, visit the official website at MadisonGamesDay.wordpress.com or join the Yahoo! Group.

Kobold Quarterly Magazine #9

Kobold Quarterly #9 features an interview that unfortunately is sad and all-too-timely: the last interview with Dave Arneson.

We had no idea of Mr. Arneson's poor health when we conducted the interview several months ago, but the interviewer and staff are grateful to have one last visit with the man who gave us the roleplaying hobby.

Also of interest:

* Monte Cook launches a new column, Game Theories
* We take a look at the classic bat-demon, Camazotz
* Our first dual-stat 3E/4E article offers up the Maedar as a PC race
* A reader request for a Kitsune race for 4E is fulfilled
* The Map of Fantasy series offers an isometric Bandit Lair for any edition
* Plus dinosaurs, bard magic, magical oaths, ritual drugs, and warlocks!

It's a full heaping helping of great game material to inspire any 3E/OGL or 4E fan to play a better game and enjoy both the history and the future of the hobby.

Kobold Quarterly #9 is available at RPGNow.com.
