Yet Another Glossary Update

I added a few more terms to the Glossary of Fudge and General Role-Playing Terms, such as “action resolution,” “mini-scenario,” “one-on-one,” “solo scenario,” and “task resolution.”

GMing Terms Added to Glossary

I have added three terms to the Glossary of Fudge and General Role-Playing Terms: “GM fiat,” “GM on the fly,” and “GM whim.” I have also pondered whether it would be justifiable to include what may be considered gamer colloquialisms, but ultimately I think it would clutter the glossary, the aim of which is to [...]

Random Generator Blues

I never made an announcement at the time, but there are two developments concerning the random generators at Fudgery.net. The first is that I have taken The Random Concept Generator offline due to unsatisfactory results. Maybe it’s too big. Maybe I need to adjust the syntax. It just feels too clumsy now, and I’d rather [...]

Belated Update at Fudgery.net

I have made the minor alteration of adding alphabetical hyperlinks to the List of Attributes by Game. The list has been up since 2004, so I can’t justify why it has taken me so long. ‘Twas an oversight complicated by procrastination.

Optimum Attributes

I have made a few changes to Optimum Attributes for Fudge. Mind is now divided into Intellect and Willpower instead of Intellect and Perspicacity, and Spirit is now divided into Creativity and Intuition instead of Willpower and Intuition. Perspicacity is redundant and Willpower is really more of a function of the Mind than the Spirit. [...]

Glossary Updated

I’m not sure why it has taken me so long, but I finally updated the Glossary of Fudge and General Role-Playing Terms to include the variant of “Game Master” used in the rest of the English-speaking world: “Games Master.” I also remembered to add “gamer” and “grognard.” Not exactly earth-shattering, but an update is an [...]

Plain Traits for Fudge

Plain Traits for Fudge is the first article I have “officially” posted in the Experimental Fudge section of Fudgery.net. It isn’t anything revolutionary (some of the ideas were or might have been discussed on the FudgeList or elsewhere over the years), but I think the presentation is fairly streamlined. I wrote it in 2007 at [...]

No Comment(s)

Due to an excess of spam and a lack of time with which to deal with it, comments, pings, and trackbacks have been deactivated. This will not affect existing comments. I will make an announcement when the status changes. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Gifts and Faults

Updates to Optimum Gifts for Fudge and Optimum Faults for Fudge will now be recorded on the Updates page. I am trying to veer away from the blandness of generic gifts and faults and steer toward more colorful and evocative descriptions wherever possible. Also, I have dispensed with a number of faults commonly found on [...]

Arm Yourself Against Interstellar Villainy

You will be issued two (2) one (1) futuristic weapon upon reporting to The Random Science Fiction Arms Generator. If you require additional armament, proceed to The Random Weapons Locker Generator at once. These random generators were created with information I compiled for the Odd Reference pages at the Cuparium. One Robot…One Computer…One Spaceship will [...]

Recruit a Motley Crew One Crewman at a Time

You may have a robot, a computer, and a spaceship, but do you have a crewman? Simply use The Random Spaceship Crewman Generator to recruit (or press into service) a qualified crewman for your spaceship. Fill out a name, gender, age, nationality, species, and background story, and your crewman is ready to trek space. So, [...]
