    Old-school gaming

    Been pondering some new gaming options around our RPG efforts and considering a switch back from the electronic virtual tabletops and laptops. Foundry VTT is excellent, and has served very well for many years now, and the laptop setup is solid and reliable. Each week, we have several games with Pathfinder and Warhammer FRP that…

    Shadowdark – Crypt of the Everflame

    Our first seasonal one-shot is on schedule for this coming weekend (November 30), though the plans have changed somewhat. Mothership is still on the schedule, but we opted to start instead with an intro adventure for Shadowdark instead. I am working to update and convert the Crypt of the Everflame storyline (Pathfinder 1st edition, published…

    Mothership

    As Halloween approaches, we enter into our annual one-shot season for our gaming group. Typically, this time frame is challenging with schedules, so I plan for several games that are shorter, without the long-term commitment of our other campaigns. This also gives us a chance to try out some alternative games, without necessarily being too…

Both as usual will be available Friday morning. I am happy to see our audience has grown slightly again, with a larger number of views on recent episodes. Our Traveller…

  • Stress Mechanics

    Following the recent Gencon convention, I obtained a copy of Mothership, which is one I have been considering for quite some time. I have heard a great many good things about it, and I am always looking for newer systems with unique twists to the game. Happily, I was not disappointed, and I am working…

  • Mothership

    As mentioned yesterday, I obtained the Mothership RPG following Gencon (ordered directly from Tuesday Knight Games, since I could not obtain it at the convention). I only have the PDFs for now, the physical books will be a week or two, but from what I am reading thus far, I am really impressed. I had…

  • Gencon 2024 results

    It was a successful trip to Gencon this last weekend, both kids and I had a lot of fun, though ended up rather tired. Two days later, and my muscles are still feeling all the hiking. The show itself was sold out, so it was good that we pre-purchased tickets (and had them shipped, the…

    The Song of Larry Leggs

    In our ongoing Warhammer FRP campaign, we have a mythical Bogtopus known as Larry Leggs (called that by the locals), which exists in the Schadensumpf swamp west of Middenheim. This creature has existed for a very long time, preying on creatures and beasts of the swamp, and occasionally roaming out for other sources of food.…
