Playtesting 4 Winds Fantasy Gaming's Exploding Aces module Veronique Fay's Very Bad Day this Friday. I just finished writing a complete draft of the adventure. It's a one-shot meant to be played in 4 to 6 hours. It is also an introduction to the beginning of a campaign if a longer game is desired. There are lots of colorful pre-generated characters ( Read more... )

I'm busy on four or five writing projects right now. Two wild west Exploding Aces scenarios for the Sandbaggers Halloween Bash. I have a Mage:the Ascension game set in 1938 Europe that will be starting in a month or so. And I just started a special action adventure Exploding Aces project. There are a few short stories that I've neglected and need ( Read more... )

It's been awhile since I last posted anything on lj. I finally got a new CPU for my computer thanks to a friend of mine and I'm up and running again. I've been using the computers down at the Sandbaggers Game Club a couple days a week to get online and write, but it's not the same. I've felt totally disconnected over the past four weeks.

The Tale ( Read more... )

I had a terrific time gaming at the con this year. I ran my Titanic horror/survival game Terror under a White Star. The players all said they had a good time. They all were surprised by and loved the twist in the story. They all got Sandbaggers Game Club t-shirts for playing and three received custom dice bags for their role-play. I was asked ( Read more... )

Last week in the Pathfinder/D&D game the players found themselves lost in time. After overcoming a few obstacles they were led to an ancient Druid/Wizard who promised to help them return to their “now” for a little favor. They just had to bring him a sea dragon's egg and he just happened to know a beach only a few days away where a clutch was ( Read more... )

I put a big twist in the Pathfinder/D&D game this weekend. The players were caught in a trap that sent them far back in time. Back to an age when dragons ruled vast areas of the world (in the time they're playing dragons are thought to be extinct). They met a very young dragon, which I made small enough that they could have defeated, but instead ( Read more... )

No Pathfinder/D&D this weekend. A couple folks were out sick so I postponed the game til Friday. Now I have another week to add to the scenario I've been working on (GM laughs maniacally.)

Played World of Darkness Mage on Saturday. We have another player joining next week (hopefully). We need a combat oriented character in the group to round it out ( Read more... )

I'm going to start posting the SGC's 2010 World of Darkness Mage campaign. I'm using this game chronicle as a writing experiment (I haven't written in the first person before). Instead of posting my game notes I decided to approach this new chronicle in a different manner. Gabriela is keeping a diary so the game sessions are from her point of view ( Read more... )

I just got back to running my Pathfinder (D&D) game with modified Arcana Magic rules and races. I exclude the tradition fantasy races replacing them with creations of my own. The players are in the third story of the campaign. Last weekend they visited an eccentric wizard to ask his advise and for help. The PC's destroyed a flesh golem that the ( Read more... )

I finished with my rewrite and sent in my short story to MisCon's Writer's Workshop today. I've participated before, but it still makes me nervous to send a story for critique by the pros.

It's a horror story - my first attempt at that genre. I've written a number of horror/survival RPG's, but never a story. I'm happy with it and all my readers ( Read more... )
