Know gaming and the industry. I tend to gravitate to two things – role playing games and war or sci-fi oriented (Ameri-trash) board games. In the beginning, I thought that was enough to coordinate gaming at the events I was doing. I was wrong. Many of my convention/events became known as RPG events and not friendly…

Campaign: The New Mutually Assured Destruction
This is an idea for either a plot or simple underlying discovery for a campaign. The Apollo group of asteroids are a group of near-Earth asteroids, the first asteroid of this group which was discovered by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth in the 1930s. They are Erde crossing asteroids – meaning they cross Erde’s orbit. The Apollo asteroid…
Memoirs of an old Gamer Part 3: It takes all kinds…
Every gamer is different as we all know and I am no exception. I like certain type of gamers involved in my game and others I can not handle. I don’t deal with confrontation well, especially when it deals with something we are supposed to be having fun with, but gaming is social and in…
Convention Poll – My take on it
I recently posted a poll on FB in hopes to find out reasons for gamers not attending. Both our ConCarolinas and ConGregate efforts were less than stellar. Although ConCarolinas is considered a rebuilding year, ConGregate was a third try and gaming has gotten stagnant. ConGregate is starting to frustrate me because High Point was once…
The Derelict
SYSTEM: Call of Cthulhu 7e Cool little adventure that is very similar to the one I ran in generic modern Savage Worlds. This one had a cool monster that only a few characters can see. The central premise is to hunt down this monster and figure out why some can see and others can’t. It…
The Derelict Pre-Gen Characters
For Free RPG Day 2016 I made 6 characters – 4 men, 2 women – roughly based on the first party concept suggested in the adventure (Option One, luxury yacht owner and friends). They a group of passengers on a Yacht, lead by the owner of the Yacht. The owner – Charles “Mac” McQuinlan – is…
Session 06.0 – 07.0: The Caves of the Whispering Worms
Session Dates: 513/2016 and 6/10/2016 Players stumble upon an ambushed vehicle that apparently belongs to a family. What the group found was two fold. (1) An chaotic alien race of worm-like beings have arisen from their ancient ruins. (2) These worms were quite possibly awakened by the meddling of a team of White Hawk treasure hunters,…
Whispering Worms
Extra-dimensional alien chaotic creature that invaded Valkana many centuries ago. The whispering worms are a race of intelligent, extra-dimensional chaotic subterranean non-arthropodal invertebrates. Decadent, cruel, and possessing powerful psychic abilities, the whispering worms abducted surface dwellers, bringing their victims down into their lightless realm as incubators for their young. The reign of the whispering worms ended so long ago that most…
After Action Report: My Return to ConCarolinas
It was not easy. I have posted about the decision to return but the actual act was even harder. I had to deal with a lot of people I still have sour feelings towards. I had to watch as people enjoyed a con that I put my heart and soul into for 11 years, with nothing…
A Restoration of Evil Rewrite – Agenda Cards
I found that the Call of Cthulhu A Restoration of Evil” mini-adventure, although perfect for a convention game, still did not convey enough about the cult. In one instance, I am not sure the group completely understood that it was a cult at the center of the plot. Nevermind the fact that there is a…
