"Thrown Bones" player reward cards are available for purchase.



I have been working on this for a while now, and I received my "proof"deck today!

The cards are available for purchase via "print on demand" from RPGNow.

Random Wizard Store

The cards are for any time you want to reward a player for, well, anything you think deserves a reward. The player hangs on to the card until it is used, or optionally, just takes the printed experience point value on the card.  The rewards range from small 5% dice roll bonus all the way to meta-game stunts like drawing a door on the map or hitting another player with a card to disarm an opponent. 

Sometimes it feels like forever between character levels. Use these cards to reward your players during that seemingly endless gap. The cards are all "one time use", so there is little danger that they will disrupt your game through their use. 

Did I mention that they were designed with system nuetrality in mind. The stated values and effects should work with most game systems.

Random Wizard #3 "soft launch"

You know I'm right... right?
The third comic is up, sort of. It won't move to the front page until tomorrow, but you can still get to it through the navigation arrows I think.

This comic deals with and pokes fun at the the trials and tribulations that come with working collaboratively in general, and more specifically chronicles a real life exchange that took place between Mundi and I when we were working on "Meckwick's Challenge".  I wonder if he ever got around to patching that hole in his wall.

You can find the comic here: www.Randomwizard.com

New "Random Wizard" comic up.

What does a monster have
to do to get a little privacy
around here? 
Check it out at RandomWizard.com

The idea for this one came from discussions online about how monsters get their money. I would think from robbing, looting, minting their own, or even from just being where stuff was left over from the past. Clearly I am not being imaginative enough about this, because the idea that gold coins and gems are essentially just "umber hulk" dung was pretty popular.

We are contemplating releasing two comics a week. This could work as I have summer coming up and I am making more that that amount now, but I work for a charter school and my summer is "crazy short".


If we decide to do this, you will be the first to know (well, first after "us", and provided that you are the first person to read the announcement post, and also if I get a post out before Mundi, and given that his blog is established and exponentially more popular than mine the odds of you knowing first are pretty slim). Ahhh, let's not get hung up on being first. You will be "some ordinal number of knowing", and that's still pretty good.
