Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
March 1, 2024 My first game was Friday night, Savage Star Frontiers – a version of Star Frontiers that I put together with a little influence from other games – Alternity Star*Drive primarily. I wanted to modernize the game but also preserve some of it’s quirkiness. The adventure – The Rogue Planet – was designed…
February 10, 2024 I cam up with a sequel to my first 80s game, based on one of the novels – The Florida Project. But first they have to rescue the BA Baracus from a moving truck. I like the idea of using the novels for plots for RPG one-shots. Next, maybe I will do…
System: Savage Worlds I converted an old adventure from the Fires of Marl Masterbook sourcebook, into Savage Worlds. I tweaked a little to take advantage of some of the story elements they chose not to take advantage of (time travel) and trimmed it down for a 4 hour one shot. It went pretty well. It…

He plays Private S.U.M.1 – a soldier living in a post-apocalyptic Earth after a (supposed) invasion by an alien weirdly called the Nonsuch. He like many soldiers before him, is…
I am converting the CoC adventure Missed Dues to Bloodshadows setting using Savage Worlds rules – yes, not only am I converting the system but also the setting. While the feel will still remain mysterious and investigative, there will be some place I can insert the setting to make it different. The Gangster aspect of…
This is something I had in my archives, saved from some newsgroup or another. We used it when we integrated by Ian FLannery McKern character into the World of Darkness. Hopefully the authors won’t mind me posting it. This is from the mid-90s. “There can be only one.” Prologue “No one has ever known we…
I am not entirely sure where I got this – but I used it often for inspiration Breaking and Entering~Mission objective: enter the dangerous place, and retrieve the vital dingus or valuable person. Overcome the area’s defenses to do so. Common Twists & Themes: The goal is not to extract a thing, but to destroy…
