Ran this as a playtest with 4 players are my house. It went very well and prepared me some for MACE West. However, I could not ask for two more totally different outcomes.

Temporal Elemental Creature Craft
TCG February 2018 Contest Entry: Outpost
I wasn’t sure I was going to enter this contest but when I found some packing material at work, I collected up 3 20 oz. Diet Dr. Pepper bottles and formulated an idea. It was partially inspired by Commissar Gamza’s Make Terrain From Trash! EP 40 – Communication Array! I used quite a bit of trash in…
Characters: Mu-Alpha Ceti-Epsilon, a Cell of Tower
These are the characters I use for the convention games. Aliana Brinley Aliana is a rogue Psychic who works with Dr. Larin. Raised on the streets, abandoned by drug-addict parents, she got her name off an online obituary. She lived off the grid for years, living off stolen chip tags found on abandoned bodies. Living…
Croatoan Island Craft
Started: December, 2017 Phase One – the Build This is a very abstract idea I came up with based on several influences. Combining the Bermuda Triangle mythology, with an alien Moon base, and the general multiverse trope from just about any comic book or sci-fi show these days, I came up with a massive “thing”…
Clans of Croatoan Island/Null Space

Here, survivors of these vessels have persevered in a strange and dark dimension. All humans, they have come from various Earthly multi-dimensions and…
Danvers Asylum Campaign (CoC)
At one time, I was really obsessed with abandoned asylums and most especially with Danvers State Hospital. Being the core inspiration for Arkham, I could not imagine why there was not some kind of source/adventure book about it. I really wanted to pool together whatever sources I could to put together such a book but unfortunately,…
New Inspiration: Savage Ringworld
I have resurrected my interest in Niven-Known Space setting, starting with the Ringworld setting. I am going to re-read the Ringworld books and use the resources I have at hand to come up with a trilogy of adventures for conventions. The real question is can Savage Worlds capture the essence of Niven’s vision. I see Known Space…
Star Trek: Ascendancy (MACE 2017)
This is the first time I played this game with the new expansions. Both were played with a 4 player game, leaving the Romulans out. I think most of the players played conservatively at the beginning. That tends to make the game go longer. I was the Feds and I purposely tried to always find…
Man in the Moon 2: Ice Station Schatzgräber (MACE 2017)
My Savage Blood & Suns game at MACE 2017. Ice Station Schatzgräber. The crafts included the ruined New York City block (New York was nuked in 1942 in this timeline), the initiative Savage Skulls in use, and the pièce de résistance – the Ice Station V2 Launch Bay where the final battle occurred. A two table…
