Demon city

I recently rewatched the anime Demon City Shinjuku. It gave me an idea. Have the biggest city in your setting have a demon gate open in it. The demons take over part of the city, turning it into a literal hell on earth.

For a fantasy city, I'd think the local mages find some way to use the walls around that particular neighborhood to contain the demon outbreak. The demons can't get out, but entering the area is a death sentence.

Maybe the local government uses this as a way to execute criminals. Maybe heroes come from everywhere and attempt to seal the gate. Sneaky demons may actually get over the walls and corrupt the rest of the city. The sorcerer who initially opened the gate may be dead, or he may have become incredibly powerful, but with his death, the gate might close.

A tree diagram showing Earth's religions

Here's a tree diagram showing current Earth religions: http://i.imgur.com/qItZMSC.jpg. I've heard of most of the big religions, but there are so many sects in each one. I'm surprised more fantasy games don't go into that a bit more. Imagine a Forgotten Realms where the different churches of Lathander fight each other based upon whether to use the term Dawn or Sunrise during services.

Bushi D6 updated and available again

Comcast removed webpages for their users, so all of my internet stuff was unavailable. I wrote Bushi D6 a while back. If you like samurai and the Mini Six/D6 system, you might like this.

New Star Wars movie is good - no spoilers.

I just saw the new Star Wars film. I liked it a lot. It's definitely better than Eps 1-3, and I think it also better than RotJ.

FRIENDLY TIP: THERE IS NO AFTER-THE-CREDITS SCENE. You can leave as soon as the credits start rolling. You won't miss anything.

Holy Day of a God of Peace

Just a fun idea I had for the Holy Day of a God of Peace.

Any army that initiates a battle on the Holy Day will lose, badly. Troops will be slaughtered, generals will die, and everything that might go wrong will go wrong for the attacking army. If a general plans an attack on that day, including trying to cheat by starting it the night before, something odd like having his horse fall on him, a random arrow hitting him in the eye, etc, WILL happen. This includes a king who tries to force his general to attack, against the generals wishes.

Basically, the God of Peace will have peace on his holy day, or he will kill off any army that tries to break it.

Gaming wasteland

Haven't played in a tabletop rpg session in months. I kind of miss it, but honestly, I've spent much of that time online gaming or watching anime. It's hard to believe, but I might actually have outgrown my main hobby since I was 13.

I don't really even get excited about rpg's anymore, and I certainly don't know what any of the new releases are. I haven't even picked up D&D 5e yet, and that's damn near unheard-of for me. I even had the 4e PHB.

Just random shower thoughts, since I realized I haven't even updated this blog in two months.
