Most of Intwischa’s best traffic is sent to us by other gaming blogs, and several bloggers have been kind enough to provide commentary or links to one of our articles (and, by extension, grant us a traffic bump). With that in mind, I’d like to share with you some articles that I bookmarked from the…

Last week I gave a step-by-step guide to creating custom counters for Houses of the Blooded. Specifically, these counters are going to be used to track the in-game currency called ‘Style points.’ Using a process called image transfer, I recreated some vintage French tarot cards using designs I found online. At the end of my…

Players begin the game with a designated amount of Style points, and can spend them to add desired details to the story, take advantage of details in a particular…

It also explores a concept that, as one blogger put it, you probably “don’t think you think about” when planning or playing your games. What holds true or desired value in a campaign can…
After listing some non-mechanical ideas for quirky, unique characters I thought it might be fun to create a table that would let the dice decide just how messed up a PC could be. So here we go: a Random Flaw Generator for your new (or existing) character. With the exception of the in-game effects, this…
Father Emry darted another suspicious glance at Vassily’s string of charms, their brisk pace through the dimly lit streets jangling the baubles incessantly. He had held his tongue thus far, but the clergyman could not let this moment of dusky silence pass without at least a casual attempt at sharing his faith. He fixed his…
As you’ve probably noticed, the Intwischa crew has a fairly new infatuation with Houses of the Blooded (HotB). HotB is what you’d get if you fired up the pop culture melting pot, and tossed in generous portions of Game of Thrones, FATE, Dangerous Liaisons, and most of Europe’s history prior to World War I.
