This one will have a bit of fluid-reality to it as the laws of man and nature shift, so I picked a looser game system that's easy to layer conditions onto or subtract them off of. Plus my group played a close Fate analogue awhile back (chadu's Truth & Justice) ( Read more... )

Continuing with the third of four suggested campaigns for my home game group here in Chicago. This one is a rerun from 2008 because a) I didn't get to run it and b) it fit the parameters for the new game. (As before, props to robotnik's Unknown USA game, to which this might act as an "unauthorized Purist prequel ( Read more... )

This is the second of my next-game proposals for my game group here in Chicago. Again, it's posted here because everyone seemed to enjoy it the last time I did this.

Originally, I was going to post something here today along the lines of "No, I meant alternate Mondays. Come back next Monday." And we would have all shared a good laugh.

But over the weekend, I talked mollpeartree into a walk down to Salonica, like we used to do when we were young and free and wild and so forth. Which is located conveniently across from ( Read more... )
