The City of Iron

[elf23]

The City of Iron is my RPG blog, focused on my on-going rediscovery of old-school fantasy games. I'm going to start running Labyrinth Lord soon (this weekend!) so I've posted quite a few thoughts on LL recently. I also post session reports of my current Savage Worlds fantasy campaign, and various random musings.

Some recent Labyrinth Lord related posts of interest:

• Elementalist spells - a list of all elemental related spells in LL (+AEC), which I'm planning to use as the basis of an Elementalist magic-user subclass.
• Fey - a variant Elf class for denizens of other worlds, with its own spell list.
• Spells of thread and rope - a few new low level utility spells.

Great stuff, elf23! As noted elsewhere, I'm really digging the thread & rope spells. I look forward to more goodness, amigo

City of Iron is one of the more recent blogs I added to my blog-roll. So far, I have been very pleased with the material you have shared. If only I could be as productive as you have... Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the kind words guys

@The Venomous Pao: I have some more thread & rope spells in the works... It's actually gotten me very into the idea of making 'sequences' of themed spells - from 1st to 9th level, like Bigby's hands (though I'm not sure they ever went all the way 1st through 9th).

I like your post on alternative combat sequence...it would be a good post for here. I think it would be interesting to discuss.

Oooh! That sounds great. I love those kinds of things. Can't wait to see 'em if you go forward with the idea!

Just added you to my blog roll.

OK, so very stupid question, how did you do the "downloads" gadget? Go slow and use small words please.

OK, so very stupid question, how did you do the "downloads" gadget? Go slow and use small words please.

It's just a "Link list" gadget. If you're in your Blogger dashboard, then go to Design (Page Elements), you can click on "Add a Gadget" in the sidebar of your blog. Then you'll get a list of gadgets, scroll down and one of them is "Link List". Just add the links to the files you want to share (mine are stored in a google site - as far as I know you can't store files directly in Blogger, only link to them).

Hope that makes sense!

(I guess the process might vary depending on what theme your blog has, but that's how it is on mine anyway.)

Thanks, that makes perfect sense. What I didn't get was how you were storing PDFs because I was 90% sure, I couldn't find that resource on Blogger. As shocking as it might seem, I don't have a single document in my google folder, but I'll certainly be utilizing it to share RPG stuff in the future.

One small tip: I originally had some files in google documents, but then discovered that google sites is better as it keeps a complete list of older versions of documents, which can be pretty handy. The big advantage is that you can have a link to a doc which will always stay the same even when you upload a new version. I believe it's not like that in google docs (I remember having some frustration with it anyway).
