UPDATED! MY COMPLETE AND UTTER GAMING BIBLIOGRAPHY

If you’ve ever wanted to know about every single thing I’ve ever written for
roleplaying and tabletop games, click on the My Games tab at the top of the
page.

It took me a while, but I’ve tracked down everything (I think) and added links
to everything that is still available for sale. Even I don’t have everything,
but now, at least, it’s possible!



AFFILIATE LINKS

For full disclosure (and a subtle hint…) I should say that links to Amazon.com,
DriveThruRPG, and DriveThruFiction are affiliate links. Every time anyone buys
through one of those links, I get a digital penny in my virtual tin mug – and it
doesn’t cost you any extra!

So enjoy, and I hope you find some stuff that you didn’t know about. If there’s
anything you’d like to know more about, drop a comment here. If I get enough
inquiries about something in particular, I’ll dredge through my memory and write
a post about it!

When I first discovered Vaesen, I got a big smile on my face. It was a game that
I had wanted to write for a couple of decades, but the closest I had ever come
was writing GURPS Faerie in 2003. Best of all, the core book setting was the
Mythic North, which left Britain and Ireland wide open. I was very happy when
Free League agreed to let me write a supplement for it. And that art! Check out
the art book from Johan Egerkrans that started it all.

I don’t know whether I’ll ever get to write another official product for Vaesen,
but I’m a huge monster geek (blame Ray Harryhausen and those skeletons from
Jason and the Argonauts) so I can’t resist putting out new vaesen through the
Free League Workshop from time to time.

LOOKING FOR PLAYTESTERS

Hello. It’s been a while since I last posted here.

That’s because I’ve been working on my #cunningplan for a #secretproject –
something that I’ve wanted to do, in one form or another, literally for decades.
Now, it’s time to light the fuse.

The (currently unnamed) project will be funded by Patreon*. On a regular basis,
backers will receive detailed and thoroughly-researched treatments of monsters
from worldwide myth and folklore, presented in a system-agnostic format with
notes and advice on adapting the creature for your tabletop roleplaying system
of choice. Some products will present new and obscure (but interesting)
creatures, while others will be a fresh look at a well-known fantasy creature or
species, informed by folklore and very different from their fantasy descendants.

And that’s all I’ll say for now, because I’m counting on playtesters to help me
develop and refine the content and structure as well as the system-agnostic data
format.

If you like monsters and are interested in helping, please send an email to
rpgmonsterclub@yahoo.com, including your name and the systems you’d be willing
to cover as a playtester. I’ll send you an invite to the Discord server that
I’ve set up for the project, and give you access to the private #playtesters
channel. Beta readers are also welcome, if you don’t want to commit to working
with a particular game system – and anyone with experience of copy editing,
proofreading, or graphic design would be more than welcome! I want all the
advice and feedback I can get!

*And yes, I’m going to make sure that playtesters get some kind of special
patron status, with special rewards. So will my backers on BuyMeACoffee.com
(https://buymeacoffee.com/graemedavis). I’m still figuring out exactly what that
will look like, but I’m definitely going to give something back for your
generosity in helping me get this project off the ground.

Thanks for reading, and I will look forward to hearing from you!

WFRP 4 MONSTERS: THE INDEX

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



A couple of years ago, I started a project to create unofficial WFRP 4th edition
stats for a lot of old Citadel Miniatures.

There are quite a few of them now, so I’m posting this index for easy reference.

If you like this kind of content, please leave a rating so I’ll know to do more
(as everyone says online, like and subscribe!). If not, please leave a comment
to let me know what you’d rather see. For example, I’m thinking of doing WFRP 1
stats for those creatures that don’t already have them.

Zoats
Ambull
Viydagg
Mardagg
Mabrothrax
Jabberwock
Gargoyle
Toad Dragon
The Spectral Claw
The Mud Elemental
Ngaaranh Spawn of Chaos
Leaping Slomm Two-Face
Zygor Snake-Arms
Independent Daemons
Chaos Snakemen
Menfish
Golems
Giant Bats and Fell Bats
Lesser Daemon of Malal
Greater Daemon of Malal
Medusas
Daemons of Law
The Cook: A Mutant
More Mutants
Great Cats and Elven Beastfriends

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monsters are one of my favorite elements of fantasy, myth, and folklore, so I
hope you enjoy these.

Also, watch this blog for news as my #cunningplan develops and the
#secretproject takes shape!

ANNOUNCING MYTHWALKER™

November 20, 2023 graemedavis 1 comment

I have an exciting announcement. In July of last year, after 14 years as a
freelancer, I took a full-time job. It is an exceptional job, with an
exceptional team, helping to develop a new fantasy gaming IP. Funny to think
that’s how my career started, being hired by Games Workshop to organize and
develop the Warhammer Fantasy IP and co-create Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. But I
digress.

Just a few days ago, the game was announced and the studio moved out of
semi-stealth mode. MythWalker™, the first title from NantGames, is a mobile
geolocation RPG featuring the parallel world of Mytherra, which players can
explore through their phones by moving around on Earth. It is now in closed
Beta, but there is much, much more to come.

Here are some links for more information. Be sure to check out the trailers –
yes, I’m in them, but on the other hand they were partly shot on the same
soundstage as The Mandalorian and other hit shows.

ASHES TO ASHES, BLING TO BLING

It’s been a while since I posted anything here, but an image of this ring popped
up in my feed and I just couldn’t resist.

It’s a mourning ring from 17th century England, now in the British Museum. In a
fantasy game, though, what necromantic powers might it have?

Images copyright British Museum. Used without permission.





IT DON’T MEAN A THING IF IT AIN’T GOT THAT BLING



If you like this kind of post, you’ll also want to see these:

Armillary Rings: Handy for astronomers, astrologers, and navigators.

Compartment Rings: Hide your true allegiance, or carry a secret message.

Poison Rings: An old classic.

Gun Rings: Add more punch to your punch.

Eye Rings: Protection, divination, gaze weapons, and more.

Miscellany: No theme, but lots of possibilities.

Let us Bling: A Ring for Clerics that unfolds into a portable shrine.

Return of the Bling: Rings that look like buildings, and may have some of their
properties.

MEDUSAS – THREE OLD CITADEL MINIATURES

July 9, 2022 graemedavis 7 comments

i

8 Votes




Citadel’s C18 Night Horrors miniatures were issued between 1984 and 1986. Most
of them never received game stats for Warhammer or WFRP, and I have covered a
few of them in earlier posts in this series.

The Stuff of Legends site has a complete listing of the range here, but for this
post, I’ll concentrate on the Medusas.

There were three figures in total. One was a snake-haired hag, another had a
snake body like the version of Medusa in the 1981 movie Clash of the Titans, and
the third was armoured and dressed in a flowing robe (actually a simple
head-swapped variant on an armoured wight figure from the same range).

To the best of my knowledge, Medusas (or Gorgons, as I prefer to call them,
since in Greek myth Medusa was one of three sisters by that name) have never
received rules or stats in any official WFRP publication, though a comment below
shares some links to previous Warhammer incarnations. I’ve based my stats and
rules more on the miniatures than these past versions, though. Needless to say,
what follows is in no way official and should be considered a fan work. No
challenge is intended to copyrights or trademarks held by Games Workshop,
Cubicle 7, or anyone else.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




MEDUSAS

These fearsome but reclusive creatures inhabit the remotest mountains of the
southern Old World, from the Border Princes to eastern Tilea. They appear in
several legends from Classical times, but their origins are unclear. While they
are clearly creatures of Chaos, they appear not to be aligned with any one of
the Ruinous powers, although a Medusa will occasionally ally with a Champions of
Chaos or other warlord for the right price.

MWSBSSTIAgDexIntWPFelW43545354545253545452015

Traits: Fear 1, Mental Corruption (Hateful Impulses), Mutation (Snake Hair – see
below), Night Vision, Petrifying Gaze, Weapon +5



Optional: Armor 2, Champion, Mental Corruption (Unending Malice), Mutation
(Snake Body), Ranged +9 (150)

Snake Hair: A Medusa’s hair gives her a +5 attack at Personal range, with Venom.
This cannot be used in the same round as any other attack.

Snake Body: Movement -1, Tail +5 attack
