                            Datagrams - A Multipart Google Suite Puzzle based on Set  By: Mageek
                             Some of my previous posts show how one can use Google sheets as standalone puzzles for role-playing games. This article takes things a step further by involving a progression of puzzles in order to get past a hurdle. The primary puzzle is based on Set, but the overarching puzzle involves an orchestration of other hurdles.  |

                            Cryptic Language - Crypt  By: Mageek
                             Worn runes on ancient ruins, scrawled annotations on old maps, scribbles in the margins of arcane tomes – cryptic text is a central part of the adventuring experience. Basic encryption schemes are an excellent way to embellish your campaign with a consistent textual theme while allowing for the inclusion of messages hidden in plain sight. This post describes a simple connected cipher, named Crypt, perfect for arcane languages and alien text.  |

                            Compatible Time Travel  By: Mageek
                             Time manipulation has a special place in the realm of the supernatural. It offers endless possibilities and limitless power, but because of this can easily become game-breaking, create onerous repetition, or cause excessive confusion. This post has taken special care to present chrono-themed special abilities that play well with others and mesh with the role-playing format, all while still presenting a new collection of choices and mechanics to explore.  |

                            Necropolis  By: Mageek
                             It lies nestled deep in the wooded hills surrounding Craeger's Crossing, carved from the living rock of the outcroppings which dot the landscape. Evil may not enter. The living may not enter. None who have sought the remains of Sir Valyrian and the Mirror of the Zealot have ever returned. Now it is your chance to perish. Necropolis is a self-contained role-playing puzzle adventure for three players. Heavily influenced by Dungeon & Dragons and the Tomb of Horrors, this adventure is specifically designed to strip away all of the extra fluff and focus on puzzle solving and sweet, sweet, horror.  |
