  • Creativity Challenge, Day 18!

    Today’s challenge asks you to draw inspiration from pulp fiction. Whether that’s Pulp Fiction the movie, an old Conan the Barbarian tale, or some other story from the heyday of pulp, is entirely up to you. This fits really well with Savage Worlds, so if you’re not feeling the visual medium today, go right ahead…

  • Creativity Challenge, Day 16!

    Exotic locations give us thoughts and ideas we wouldn’t normally think of. Sometimes changing a venue can get those creative juices flowing in ways that you can’t even imagine. We can get stagnant in our normal places; the smells, sounds, and tastes are all familiar. So get up, and get out! Find some place that…

  • Happy Tuesday!

  • Creative Challenge, Day 14!

    Most professional writers, artists, and composers will do something in their field every day for practice. Sometimes it’s a preferred writing exercise, or a sketch, or a quick little composition, depending on the person’s field. Some of our favorite exercises are timed exercises, which work best with sketches and writing. When it comes to keeping…

  • Creative Challenge, Day 13

  • Creative Challenge Day 12!

    Whoops! We missed a day. That means that today counts as double points! Things seem to work better in twos anyway; two hands, two feet, two thumbs, two eyes…certain things were just designed to be done in pairs. When one of those pairs is disturbed, it can mean major life changes, even if it’s just…

    Typically, Wednesday is reserved for our Wellstone City Wednesday segment, where we discuss a portion of the city, whether the topic is an important NPC, a gang, a neighborhood, or even a single location. Wellstone was meant to be an open city, open not only in scope and environment, but also open to fan contributions!…

  • Creative Challenge, Day 8!

    Movies, movies, movies! They are an impressive art form unto themselves and for the last 100 years or so, they have been informing, entertaining, scaring, and surprising us. It also goes without saying that they inspire us. Some estimates give us a number of 1500 years worth of movie footage exist. Let that sink in…
