Fri 8 pm – 12 am: Shatterzone Xenos Alpha I play tested this at RonCon. I am not sure how well this is going to go. I never ran SZ at a Con because of its complexities. I am going to try my best to nail those down and avoid book diving, but it may be…
This is an award winning UK sci-fi space short film made Backyard Productions UK as part of the “Darkwave universe.” Set in a world where rare crystals – called Starlight Crystals – make FTL flight possible, it shows that even with a low budget and actors working for free, you can still tell a damn good story. I write about this because I really feel that this Darkwave setting REALLY needs to be written up as an RPG setting. Someone really needs to approach these guys with the idea.
Blood Creek, previously known as Creek and Town Creek, is a horror film directed by the famous (and infamous) Joel Schumacher, starring Michael Fassbender, Dominic Purcell, and Henry Cavill. Where else are you going to get Magneto, Heat Wave and Superman in one movie. Written by David Kajganich, the film apparently had a limited theatrical release in 2009. I came across it in my streaming options, and it was highly recommended by a friends. Dominic Purcell and Henry Cavill play brothers on a mission of revenge who become trapped in a harrowing occult experiment dating back to the Third Reich. Yes, Nazis, Occult and Zombies in the same movie. I am all in!

After over a year of gaming, some tumultuous changes in party, some expansion to the world and campaign, I decided to bring it to an end. I had two players depart after the start because they were not working out, and subsequently bringing in a couple of players not long after that. Others popped in…

They find a teleport pad that is supposed to lead them the Gatehouse, which ends up taking them into the catacombs of an underground labyrinth. Once reaching the Gatehouse, the face off against the guardians, giants and a merfolk. The…
Chapter 8: A Requiem for Runcible landed on a Friday the 13th in October for me, so I decided to make it a little more creepy. It was an interesting challenge to take some that is light heartedly creepy and make it more serious and horror based. A few things I took into consideration about Arnon…
