The Wellstone City Chronicle, the longest running news paper in the South, is where the plot-point adventures for Wellstone City get their name from. The paper is the hope of the city, telling the good news and the bad, and of course, where there are PCs involved, it’s usually bad news. It’s true that news…

A lot of gamers, especially new gamers, stick with what they’re familiar with when selecting a character type. They, as players, have a mentality and a way of solving problems that lends to that certain aspect of role-playing, and breaking from that mold can be extremely difficult. Not only that, but the sudden switch in…

We have had a hugely busy last couple of weeks! Many of you seem to have noticed as well, and we very much appreciate the feedback we’ve been getting, the reviews, and of course, the sales! This is gearing up to be the best August we’ve ever had, which means we’re able to put out…

Running a Legitimate Business in Wellstone City isn’t a half-bad idea. It gives characters a place to invest their money that is more secure than a bank; it gives them a steady stream of income in between jobs. Not only that, but if set up properly, especially if the PCs have two businesses or more,…

So today I was going to write about character creation, and that didn’t happen. Instead I ended up staring at my screen, my character sheet and my notes for the better part of an hour before I decided to save that for next week and instead look at how I managed to confuse myself. I’ve…

There comes a point when we mentally care whether or not a character lives or dies, and…

It has been another busy couple of weeks here at Silver Gryphon, so let’s get to it! If you haven’t been paying attention, we have had a couple of really good releases in the last few weeks, and last week kept that party going! We started off two weeks ago with Djinn of the Deep…

During the 16th year of the reign of Emperor Tiberius, a great star fell from the heavens which brought death to the living and life to the dead. Emperor Caligula created a wall made of milecastles and men to stand between the Empire and the Undead Hordes of the East. You are stationed at one…

This post isn’t so much a post about Wellstone City as a commentary on it. Wellstone City is a violent, crazy place. It’s meant to be a warzone that the characters can have some fun in given the constraints of an adventure, and that the players can blow some steam off in. I mean, come…

One of the biggest (and most daunting) tasks for me was deciding which system I was going to learn. There are so many, they all have their little quirks and differences and some have major differences… many of which I don’t even know to ask about yet! I like my choices to be well thought…
