Psi-punk SRD Now Available

By: Jacob Wood, June 7, 2019 News

Have you ever heard the saying “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of done?” Well, despite being familiar with that wisdom, I let it happen.

More than a year ago, I started collaborating with the Open Gaming Network to bring you a Psi-punk SRD. While it has technically been available for roughly an entire year, I held off talking about it and sharing it because it was still in a rough format. As it turns out, there was a lot of work involved with preparing the System Reference Document and converting it to HTML.

Although the state of the website is still less than perfect, I realized I have held off too long in sharing it with everyone. It’s functional. It’s good enough. It’s not perfect. That’s okay.

As an added bonus, I added the Fudge and Fantasy Fudge SRDs to the Open Gaming Network. You can easily search the contents of all …

New Post on Fudge Genie Website

By: Jacob Wood, June 5, 2019 News

I recently wrote an article for Fudge Genie about using a re-roll mechanic in the Fudge system. You can read that post here.

If you’re not familiar with Fudge Genie, it’s a spiritual successor to an old website called Fudge Fafctor. Now defunct, Fudge Factor was a great place to find all sorts of tips, tricks, and tweaks for written by people who love the Fudge RPG system. Some of the game mechanics in Psi-punk, including the way we handled reloading firearms, were inspired by articles from Fudge Factor.

Now that Fudge Factor is just an archive, Fudge Genie has stepped up to take its place. My article is only the third to be posted to the site, but hopefully it will pick up steam and eventually become home to some great Fudge RPG discussion.

If you’re a Fudge fan like I am, you can use the contact form at Fudge Genie’s …

Psi-punk Archetypes: Opportunist Now Available

By: Jacob Wood, June 19, 2016 News

Before the house fire, I had the next book in the Psi-punk Archetypes line ready to go. It’s taken a few months to find the time to get it uploaded, but now Psi-punk Archetypes: Opportunist is available in PDF from DriveThruRPG.

Opportunists are masters of making the most of every situation… the most money that is. They excel at finding ways to help people part with their hard-earned Neuemarks.

After a brief description of the archetype itself, this book gives several examples of Skills, Gifts, Faults, and Gear that would be helpful for any Opportunist. It includes several new Gifts and Faults as well as a new magic item: the Bargaining Chip.

You can get the …

Chatting About the Fudge RPG (Video)

By: Jacob Wood, February 19, 2014 News

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with James Paese and Wolf Bergenheim, two Fudge Community rock stars, to chat about all things Fudge.

This was the first in a series of Fudge-related videos that will be hosted by James and his new company, Fudgit Publishing. James is developing a sword and sorcery game called “Blood, Sweat, & Steel” using the Fudge System.

Wolf is a Fudge connoisseur and loves to hack the game. One of this latest masterpieces is the unofficial Fudge Mouse Guard, in which he shows us that Fudge’s Scale system can actually be put to great use.

I was honored to be asked to join these two in a discussion and look forward to talking with them again in future videos.

Without further ado, watch the video for yourself and let me know what you think in the comments.
