April 23, 2009: 10'x10' Rooms For Fun And Profit
As we've mentioned (a few times), we're doing some renovation on the warehouse. Communication between what we want, and what the contractors assume we want, has occasionally been an issue . . . until we fell back on our old-school gamer habits.
Yes, the solution to our troubles was quarter-inch graph paper, and maps that look like they should be labeled with "orc guarding pie here." They're actually kinda fun to draw, in the "as much fun as directing construction work can be" sense. And there is no doubt that they're effective -- now everyone involved is on the same page, for every step of the process.
See, dungeon crawling can teach you a useful skill!

Warehouse 23 News: e23: (You Don't Really Have To)
The characters featured in Citizens of Bedlam are for use in Bedlam City, and Bedlam City alone. They are not to be used elsewhere. Taking them out of Bedlam would violate International Gaming Law, and a task force of Way-To-Play Enforcers would be dispatched to your gaming table. To even suggest that this book of 90+ NPCs could somehow be transplanted to another setting, or even system, is blasphemy of the highest order! So do the right thing. Buy both books.
