Dark Rising, pt 2

Sorry this is a bit late. Had a bit of a schedule shift at work that made it necessary to push this post back by a day. If you haven't already, you should read Part 1. “Does anybody know where the hell we’re at?” Milosh glanced around the dirty brown landscape pocked with the occasional …

What I Learned GMing for the First Time

This is a re-post from my G+ page. ______________________________________________ This is being written from the point of view of somebody who is very new to the hobby (less than three months of actively seeking out games and groups, though I’ve been a part of a Friday night group off-and-on for about two years) and is …

Memorial Day

As I said on Twitter, thank you to those who have gone before. Adding flowery words isn't going to help what is already such a heartfelt and yet so inadequate sentiment. So it's all I really can say to the men and women who died in service and have inspired me in so many ways. …

Symbaroum

The first thing that will ever grab you about Symbaroum is the art style. Even if you know nothing about different styles, you can't help but be drawn in by the way Martin Grip has managed to make a dark and depressing world like Symbaroum into a beautiful page-turner.

Dark Rising, pt 1

The clanking of a ship was a comforting sound. Even the stale, endlessly recycled air had a certain sense of familiar comfort. Yaffed complained non-stop about it, but Kezia – Kezz for short – never took it for granted. Millions of miles from any breathable atmosphere for most of her life, she was well-aware of …

Four Systems, One Weekend

This past weekend was a whirlwind of gaming: Friday I officially began running a homebrew Coriolis campaign. This is my first actual campaign ever so it's been a bit nerve-wracking but the group responded positively so I'm excited to see how they like it as we move forward. Saturday early afternoon was good old D&D …

Upcoming stuff

I haven't had much time to write a bunch, but I am working on a post about my thoughts on Symbaroum. I'll also be posting a bit on Call of Cthulhu. And I've got the first part of the story based on my Coriolis campaign pretty much done. So I'm working out a release schedule …

Why the blog?

A couple of years ago (end of 2016) I had discovered Arkham Horror the board game was a thing. I don’t remember exactly how, though it may have had something to do with me going to a hobby game/comic shop looking for horror and sci-fi comics in the vein of Stranger Things after binge watching …
