PROJECT STATUS: ON GOING. Fading Suns True20: The Externals In my new campaign, The Mysterium Platonis, I have decided to bring in the Externals from Star Drive.

Jumping through Memory Space Lane I have gone through some old notes and found the basic plot summary of this campaign. I transcribed it and it appear in the Source Material. It was a plot I was really looking forward to completing and wished I had. Maybe one day.
Using the Horror rules in the Revised edition book, there are several things I integrated into DC T20 that I think works well with the setting. Sanity and Fear (True 20 Adventure Role-playing, Revised Edition, pg 224) Use Fear and Terror as is in the rule book. Every creature and beasty has a Fear/Terror Rating…
Another year passes and another weekend in May/June goes by. I find myself a little less bitter but still holding resentment against those that betrayed my trust. Meanwhile, they continue to benefit from my hard work, particularly this year because of the guest I got them. It was my magnum opus and I did not…

21 Starport Places is a new RPG Supplement from Gypsy Knights Games. One way to get a real good feel for a science fiction setting is getting to know places of business in the setting. It not only gives you a small window into the world, but it also gives you ideas on what is important to the creators, what kind of people a player would meet, and what kind of routine encounters they may have. This is the attraction to a supplement like 21 Starport Places.
I have received enough feedback from my RavenCon review that I felt that a follow up was needed. From this feedback, I think there are some beneficial lessons that can help with convention management, gaming coordinating, as well as one’s convention experience. Getting the full perspective of a con is not always easy. I sometimes find more insight after the con. Since RavenCon, I have spoken with a senior convention staff member as well as a game designer/publisher that attended. Their feedback to my first review is what lead me to this follow up. This is not intended to be a retraction or an “apology.” I stand by what I wrote in my initial review. I just truly feel that after the feedback I received that there is more of a tale to tell about RavenCon.
The journey from my home near Charlotte, NC to Richmond, Va is not a short one but I have been wanting to check out a con for years called RavenCon. It is run by a good group of people, some of which I know from my days of running sci-fi cons. My kids like to dress up and play around with other kids that like sci-fi, so I like to go to these on occasion. I know going in that the gaming is not the focus at these cons, but I have at least a minimum expectation that there is some and it might be reasonably organized.
