Tombpunk: Arcana – Chaos Magick

Tombpunk is my lo-fi, lightweight, fantasy roleplaying game, published under license by Outland Entertainment. You can find it here on DriveThruRPG. Tombpunk: Arcana is a series of articles written by me expanding content for the game with "playtest" material (I don't think I can call it homebrew if I'm the official writer/creator!). This is the … Continue reading Tombpunk: Arcana – Chaos Magick →

As part of 2021, I'm doing a big clean-up and revamp of this site. The official http://www.gallantknightgames.com will be getting a 2021 revamp too. So pardon all the mess while we get it cleaned. A lot of old posts have vanished, and new ones are coming.

Halloween Game 2019

Geez. It's been two months since my Halloween game? Feels like yesterday. Ugh. (All images from the second game. I didn't get pictures of first one due to our illustrious Joseph Reidhead only being in the second game.) This year I ran two games, using two different rulesets but using a similar (zombie/demon shambler) theme. … Continue reading Halloween Game 2019 →

Halloween Game 2018 – Mythras (Mythic Rome)

It's that time of the year again! Halloweeeeeen gammeeee! *cue spooky music.* I elected to run Mythras from The Design Mechanism, using their Mythic Rome sourcebook.

Life Changes / Don’t Panic

I've been full-time in the game industry for almost 18 months now. It's been awesome. I love what I do, I love my friends (I can't rightly call them fans/customers as we're all in this together as a community). But sometimes life throws you a curve-ball, and you have to adjust. The wife and I … Continue reading Life Changes / Don’t Panic →

My Infinity War

This blog post deals with mental illness, depression, suicide attempts, and stuff like that. It's not light. Also terrible pictures of me culled from Facebook. It's been ten years since Marvel's Iron Man hit theaters, a fact not lost on the marketing team for Avengers: Infinity War, comic fans, movie fans, or really anyone remotely plugged into … Continue reading My Infinity War →

Cooking with Alan Time! Some folks asked for the recipes I used for the Pendragon Halloween Game. Here they are! You'll have to bear with me, I've never written recipes on this blog before. These recipes are deliberately medieval-styled, but obviously benefit from modern advances. I used this site to do my best to use … Continue reading Pendragon Halloween Game Recipes →
