And so once more we toddled off down to the Hampshire/Dorset Land/Water border that is the Naish Holiday Village, a limnal island of frenzied indie gaming for four days. In the first 48 hours, we played 24 hours of games, so we had a little break on Saturday night and only one more game on Sunday. The self-catering chalets are comfortable and warm ( Read more... )

After the first week’s shenanigans, things kicked off into gear this week, and some. The bio-matrix was investigated but it was very high tech. Krandall estimated that it would take several months work to gain access. However documents that Lars took from the safe indicated that it had come into Bourbon on a bauxite ship from Stewart.

That was the only time I've run someone else's scenario, Artefact Zero from Pagan Publishing's Project Rainbow. It ( Read more... )

Things get more serious this week.

( The incident of the dog in the night )

I'm running a new Trail of Cthulhu game with my regular group. I decided to use the material I put together but didn't use at Games Expo (it was about Harry Grindell Matthews, check him out on Wikipedia or the Fortean Times, it's mad), coupled with chilledchimp's as yet unpublished Guide to Occult London in the Thirties (pending from Pelgrane Press).
