With me diving deeper into SF with Savage Worlds, I decided to revisit some of my ideas previously covered in the True 20 version of Star Drive Frontiers. With that, I decided to revise the timeline to fit that setting and expand on humans a little more. I hated how they screwed up Zebulon and…

B-Movie Inspirations: Deus, The Dark Sphere (2022)
Stumbled on this movie on Tubi. Saw that Claudia Black was in it (big fan!) and watched the trailer. It intrigued me. The style of the movie had a strong Alien crossed with 2001: Space Odyssey and I liked the dark tone. So I sat and watched it, not really thinking I would write about…
B-Movie Inspirations: Parasite (1982)
There are certain movies I watch for this series that are not half bad, while others are truly terrible. Parasite is more the latter than the former only because it was so poorly executed and acted. It has a decent premise but lacked imagination and production in the execution of that premise. Parasite is a 1982…
Strange Dream: Attack of the black rain
I had a strange dream last night that I want to write down because it was an interesting mishmash of ideas. Sometimes my dreams make no sense, while other times I don’t even remember them. This one was rather vivid and had elements that were at least worth writing down. It started as a typical…
New Section of the Web Site: Ron’s Reviews
Between the independent game review site The Gaming Report, it’s subsequent owner Scrye Magazine, a short stint with DriveThru RPG and my own attempt at a review site through JustUs Productions – The Gamers Codex, I have several hundred reviews of games from 2004 until 2019. In total, I probably did over 350 reviews, a…
Star Law Psi-Corps
One division of Star Law that very few talk about is the super secret Psi-Corps -established in 108 fy. Star Law, challenged by a new breed of crime – Psionic Crime – was forced to delve into the dark and mysterious realm of Psionics. The prevalence of Psionics in the underworld was limited until recently….
Volturnus II: New Campaign Idea
Looking to start 2023 on a new gaming footing by resurrecting this campaign in a new format. I am going to break down key aspects of the campaign into a trilogy of single session missions. The pre-generated characters will be agents of a joint UPF military and Star Law task force to take out the…
Savage 80s: V – Appalachian Mystery (JeffCon 2022)
November 11, 2022 I upgraded this with 8 players and a little more in the first combat. Added Visitor super soldiers, but never really pursued that storyline. I really did not have the opportunity because their critical failures were driving the stories more than anything else. This was a great session. Everyone embraced their characters…
Project Tor 3: Battle of Terror (JeffCon 2022)
Date: November 12, 2022 One final adventure with a group of people that played in this campaign before. I love that this campaign grew into something that had a following. And I am glad I have the opportunity to publish this setting as well (in the works). I did not take many pics of this…
Servants of the Lake
SYSTEM: Call of Cthulhu 7e September September 16, 2022 I decided to do a one shot of a random adventure I had not run yet. I picked one that seemed simple – Servant of the Lake in the Doors to Darkness supplement, read it through and ran it. It was a very fast session. This…
