Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
I have been involved with this niche of a community for almost 20 years. I have organized things from both ends of the spectrum. I have seen events numbering in the dozens and I have seen events numbering in the thousands. The largest event overall that I have been involved with and helped organize had…
I am developing a one shot adventure for MACE East 2016 for The Last Parsec. It does not have to be Savage Worlds or The Last Parsec but that’s what is pulling in players. This adventure was first inspired by recent terrain work I have done. I wanted something where I can use the following…
I write about MACE in multiple places but this is where I write about me and my feelings – a place to vent. Most people don’t want to read about how the sausage is made. They just want it cooked and served up. In the case of MACE, give the players “What, Where and When”…
Looking back, I realized that I wrote a short something about the first cruise I went on. This being my second, I thought I should. Because this cruise was also a “Club MACE” cruise, there was a gaming aspect to it, but I covered that part in my Gamer’s Codex review. The cruise was leaving from…
System/Setting: Realms of Cthulhu/Achtung Cthulhu An excellent adventure that I worked hard to make a 4 hour session game. I ran it first at RonCon Spring 2014, then MACE West 2014, and then all year in other cons in 2014 until MACE 2014. I submitted my ideas to the publisher and I hope they will…
PROJECT STATUS: ON GOING. An ongoing contest and project to create a Living campaign exclusively for MACE, set it at least 3 systems (Savage Worlds, Pathfinder, and Bare Bones Fantasy). Phase 1 decided on the specific setting, Emberbright by Matt Holmquist. Phase 2 details the Elven Magocracy Houses and is in progress.
MACE 2012 Report Part 2 SATURDAY Saturday started out bright and early for me at 7:30 AM, arriving at the gaming registration desk around 8:30 AM. Saturday for me was going to be very busy and I concentrated most of my volunteer shifts during this time. I had to fill in for two GMs sessions…
MACE 2012 Report Part 1 A lot of anticipation built up to the 2012 move to Charlotte. Quite of few detractors from the Raleigh area voiced their displeasure with the move. “It’s like a whole state away…” when it was just an extra hour drive. We sympathized with those displeased but a business decision had…
Overall, I feel that MACE West 2011 was a success. There was very little one could complain about other than the weather. With about 130 people, we were a little short from what we hoped to get but not too short to kill the idea for next year. The concept has potential and so I…
