    Hi Hagen,
    I read with some interest your blog on the recent adventure in the Florentina. I drew the maps for the MAiAC book and was hoping to get an honest feedback from you if I may?

    When you're given a brief as an artist it's quite easy to draw to order but without regard to how a map is used. Drawing a map that is both aesthetic AND useful is a trial sometimes and I was wondering how the map played?
    Did you find it easy to use?
    Were there any confusing parts of the map that didn't quite make sense or could've been portrayed better?
    Did you feel able to show your players any part of the map?
    Anything else you liked or didn't like?

    I'd be grateful for any feedback you are able to give and I'll use that information to improve a style or to go to the other boys at Miskatonic River Press and say "I've had some feedback... let's try it this way."

    Thanks!

    Steff

Some Notes from a Mad Keeper on "Horror on the Orient Express"

by Hagen on 23rd March 2012 at 06:25 PM
So, there's been a notion that's been squattiing ominously in the back of my mind for some time now. It tells me that I should try to run the Classic Era campaign Horror on the Orient Express for a group of friends. its voice tries to sway me by reminding me how much fun I had when I went through it as a player. It also speaks of my amusement at hearing the Innsmouth House Players (under their previous stage name) go through it.

I've kept this whispering notion at bay for years by saying

Ideas from a Mad Keeper's Reading List

by Hagen on 1st February 2012 at 06:31 PM
I've been on something of a tear when it comes to my book reading lately. Thanks to a local gaming con's swap table and a local used book sale, I've plowed my way through "The Continental Op" and "The Maltese Falcon" by Dashiell Hammett. Both books are recommended for being great stories and for being good guides for those looking to play private investigators in the 1920's and 1930's.

Some scenario seeds spawned from these readings:

1. The investigators

Some Thoughts of a Mad Keeper After a Hiatus

by Hagen on 12th January 2012 at 12:18 PM
Hmm... It seems it's been nearly a year since I posted something here. It's amazing how time flies. Anyway, some updates:

1. The 'Lovecraft Country" campaign is on indefinite hold. A combination of Keeper fatigue and the players wanting to get away from Call of Cthulhu for awhile...

2. ...because they went through the Cthulhu Invictus campaign, "The Legacy of Arrius Lurco". There was much death and insanity in the second century A.D. For the most part, it

Late Night Ramblings of a Mad Keeper (May contain Spoilers)

by Hagen on 9th February 2011 at 07:33 AM
It's been a while since i posted anything. The good thing is that my regular table-top group's "Lovecraft Country" campaign is going well. Now it's on hold for a few weeks, as we wrap up our run through "The Flood" campaign for 'Deadlands: Reloaded". Ah, the joys of being a steampunk scientist with a proton gun.

I also wanted to get some lead time to work on my own ideas for after I'm done running the published scenarios on my list. At the moment, I've

A "Lovecraft Country" Campaign: On Calenders and Villains

by Hagen on 26th December 2010 at 05:57 AM
(Note there are some spoilers below for 'The Condemned', a scenario from the Arkham Unveiled book.)

So as I was planning for the next session of my CoC campaign, I found myself having to pull together the info to make a calender for May-October 1925. This was done so as to keep a better track of how long it takes my players to read future Mythos books, as well as to be sure when certain things happen in the next adventure I'm running.I found it rather refreshing to compile the data
