So I'm going to get back into more active roleplaying. Tonight I'm running a playtest for Reign of Discordia and Luke & Sam (and Em) have agreed to play in a brief Little Fears scenario (more than an single adventure less than a campaign).

The Little Fears plot grew out of the aborted Fright Night adventure I started on last year, and while it ( Read more... )

Well I survived running Fright Night for the first time. To be honest it was a lot easier than I'd expected and I got lots of help from Dale, Stephanie and of course Emma, on the night!

A couple of comments:

• I'll say it again, Luke & Mash were lifesavers for stepping up to run a game!
• Everyone was great, happy and fun to be around!
• The Pizza ordering ( Read more... )

Hi All,

As I'm posting this everywhere else...

Unfortunately due to work requirements, I've had one of my GMs pull out from Fright Night.

I'm looking for a replacement game that will accomodate 5 players. If you are insterested, please drop me a line over at frightnight.wellington@gmail.com

BTW - if you are reading this and are interesting in coming to the con, contact me anyway- I have plans in motion!

Umm... Ok... It seems Fright Night 'soldout' in less than 24 hours. I know we have less games offered than previous years (one in each round) but after discussions with Dale & Mash, it seemed that players for a horror con can be hard to ( Read more... )

Fright Night (www.frightnightcon.org) has opened its door for players! If you are interested in attending a night of terror and fun roleplaying come over and see what we have to offer.
To register for games drop us a line at frightnight.wellington@gmail.com and list your first and second preference for each round. We work on a first in, first served ( Read more... )

Hey, I thought as I'm pimping Fright Night (Wellington's Premier Horror Con) everywhere else, I might as well also do it here on my Blog... especially as I'm after more GMs!

So, as you might know I'm running Fright Night this year (to be held at Turnbull House - in the city - on the evening of October the 29th). And if you don't, well then I will ( Read more... )

Man I roleplay a lot. In fact I think I'm actually playing as much now as I was back in Auckland when I didn't have kids! My regular (or semi-regular) games are -

• Fortnightly Monday game of Warhammer Fantasy (at Luke & Sam's place) - I play Alderbrand, a young, fiery priest who is out to right wrongs and find a good match for the only female in the ( Read more... )

So another Fright Night over! I have to say I had fun, but no real stand outs for me this year.

Malcolm's 'Cold Shore' was a nicely balanced story that built to a great level of pressure and action. I have to say that the discovery at the first Castaway Hut was really cool, and the discovery of the abandoned house was neat as well. The beginning ( Read more... )

I don't know why I didn't realise this earlier (okay, maybe I did, but it just didn't stick) but when it comes to Roleplaying it doesn't really matter what game you are playing, or where you are, but rather the mood players are in when they come to the table ( Read more... )

Near 11 on Thursday and I'm not happy. I was planning on doing a first run through of my GUMSHOE Hot War game tomorrow, but I'm just not ready.  The most annoying thing is that it is the small things that are the issues holding me up:

• Do have a strong enough set of leads to the big bad (not as in identifying whom they might be, but rather ( Read more... )
