Final Preparations

Posted by SammyD in Tales From Providence, 05 March 2014 · 39 views

As I draw close to the introductory game (March 22) for my newly formed player's group I find myself overwhelmed with ideas and final loose ends to tie up.

As I'm flooded with good ideas to utilize I find myself both really exci...

SPOILERS: Eternal Lies Session 9, LOOOOONG

Posted by Lisa in Blog Lisa, 13 February 2014 · 114 views

As per one of my player's requests, I'm breaking this into sections.

Overview, Pre-Game

This is where I sent things off the rails, at least for a while. Or, it's the session where we made the campaign more truly ours. Or, it's where I shameless nudged things. Maybe all three.

It all started when I got an email from Betsy saying that she wanted Martin t...

Gaslight

One reason I’m starting a blog is because I am seriously considering starting writing some short fiction: particularly science fiction fantasy and/ or horror. I’ve created adventures for rpgs in the past, an...

Alea jacta est

Posted by Serazu in Blog Serazu, 11 February 2014 · 132 views

The die is cast. After three years away from GMing, we 're back in business. On Sunday 9/2 I 've finally determined that keeping the Masks campaign book on the shelf gathering dust for years is a sacrilege unforgiving before the eyes of gods and men; so I made my decision to give it a go. I 'm not involved in any other RPG activity these days and the timi...

Heidi, the three-year old bulldog, waddles across the floor of the prep room. She tries to sit, but her hugely distended abdomen makes that uncomfortable for her, so instead she stands, and pants. Her thick eyelids droop with weariness. Sam and I lift her onto the prep table with some difficulty. Heidi gurgles and splutters as we set her down, then starts...

Coal Cracker Cthulhu #10: Suffer Little Children

Posted by viscounteric in Blog viscounteric, 19 October 2013 · 272 views

Friday, October 5th, 1923.

The Yonkers Train Station was an important stop on the Hudson Line. It could be argued that it was the last stop for civilization before the trains began their lazy journey up the east side of the Hudson River. It was also a focal point for trolleys, as well as commuter and regional trains, avoiding the ruckus of Grand Central...

Dark Souls: Why hello Hastur!

Posted by echofalls in Blog echofalls, 01 October 2013 · 430 views

So, here I am running through the Painted World of Ariamis, trying to escape without dying *again*, or distubing those annoying spear chucking phalanax, when I'm greeted by a most pleasent message:

"Dark Spirit Xanthous King Jeremiah has invaded!"

So I do away with that pest by tricking him into rolling off a cliff, unfortunately meaning that I didn't...

Rome Noir

I got my Invictus game up and running again with my one player who digs Call of Cthulhu. There seems to be a lot detective series out there dealing with PI's in the ancient Roman setting, so I decided to do the obvious thing and copy cat it. I read a bit of Stephan Saylors 'Finder' series and my pal brought me over 'Silver Pigs' by Lindsey Davis to read....

The players were told that the Carthatic had already won in th...
