Finished the dice based on the Drawtectives character Grendan (aka: Grenda, aka: Grandma)! Now I’m working on a video outlining my design process and talking about the character a bit :)

What's This Blog?

Romance of the Perilous Land is a roleplaying game of magic and adventure set in the world of British folklore, from the stories of King Arthur to the wonderful regional tales told throughout this green and pleasant land. It is a world of romantic chivalry, but also of great danger, with ambitious kings, evil knights, and thieving brigands terrorizing the land, while greedy giants, malevolent sorcerers, and water-dwelling knuckers lurk in the shadows. 

Here, I will be using the ruleset for Romance of the Perilous Land, the Mythic GM Emulator 2nd Edition, and other supplements to play a 'solo' game of RotPL. Basically, it's like playing Dungeons and Dragons - but it's not Dungeons and Dragons, and I'm doing it alone as a mindful writing exercise with dice! I'll also be posting Middle Ages aesthetics and things that strike my fancy, as well as maybe talking about other TTRPGs!

This post will serve as a home base where I'll link all the session reports as I write them! Thank you so much for joining William Montressor on his journey!
