SYSTEM: Call of Cthulhu 7e September September 16, 2022 I decided to do a one shot of a random adventure I had not run yet. I picked one that seemed simple – Servant of the Lake in the Doors to Darkness supplement, read it through and ran it. It was a very fast session. This…
SYSTEM: Call of Cthulhu 7e DATE: 2017-01-28 I was not entirely satisfied with the way this one went. Maybe I needed more prep time but the group never got to a point that made them want to stay on board and investigate everything. Or perhaps I gave out too much up front, but by the time…
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…
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…
Play-tested Savage Reich Star (which would later become Savage Blood & Suns) for the first time with my home group.

From the Dead Reckonings Sourcebook (converted to CoC 7e) Pre-Game Read and Prep I am planning on running this on Dark Rivals for one of my game day events, RonCon.

Ran Legendary Planet: The Assimilation Strain as a playtest for MACE 2015. A lot more deadlier than I thought, initially. Had my 2nd level characters (3 of them) pretty beat up by half way through. Second Session with really well. I added a few things, including some Ghouls that the clerics at one time were…

Around the world, there have been mysterious sightings ever since. Now a desperate man says he knows where it is. You are part of the salvage team that investigates…
My recent experience and decisions to change them has brought a question to mind that I find myself pondering on a lot. A few questions, actually. My past gaming group of 20+ years was incredibly satisfying in terms of gaming experiences. But what was so satisfying about them? What did I find in them that…
I have decided to start a blog about some of my more recent gaming experiences. Life has been amazing to me personally and in my gaming. But recently, I have struggled and wanted to share them. In part, to perhaps convey to others that might be experiencing this that they are not alone. But also…
