Elements of Successful Dicehaven Organized Play

July 16, 2022 / Stan Shinn

For several years, I’ve been intrigued by the idea of setting up an organized play program for our local game club.

At any given moment, we have multiple concurrent campaigns with several GMs. I’ve noticed that if we lack the required quorum of players or if the GM is absent or not up to running the game, either we cancel the game or run a one-shot game with a new character. Missing opportunities to game or always gaming with a new character is not ideal, and so organized play with persistent characters has long been an elusive goal.

Using 1″ Poker Chips for RPGs and Wargames

June 7, 2022 / Stan Shinn

I’ve been a big fan of using 1″ poker chips in RPG and wargames for years. Back in 2017 I pioneered the idea of Stoplight Damage™ and I sold sets of these tokens in my 5e Gamemaster Toolkit Kickstarter. Beyond their use in tracking damage in RPGs, I’ve also found them handy when differentiating squads of soldiers in 3+ player wargames. Need to differentiate your squad of six American WWII soldiers from the other two players with squads on your side? Just use sticky tack to affix 1″ tokens of the same color to your squad’s models.
