Name some Horrror TTRPGs that aren’t investigation based.

And they left a trail camera behind that caught it all on tape. 😝

Another great session of Impossible Landscapes in the books. I’d love to run this again for another group with lessons learned from this iteration. Right now I’m considering the consequences for the Agents burning down a house in broad daylight, with a monster inside that might dice up some firemen.

Two sessions into Part 2 of Impossible Landscapes for Delta Green, and this might end up being the best campaign I will ever run. #deltagreen #ttrpg #haveyouseenthesign

Thanks. Getting old isn’t my favorite, but it beats the alternative.

Mighty Deeds from DCC.

I love how the fictional game master does things outside the rules. Sometimes new players need to see that is viable.

Deep cut and a great one.

As a grumpy old man who has a love/hate relationship with the Alien franchise, the first episode of Alien:Earth was good, except for killing off one of my favorite actors after getting only one scene. Cautiously optimistic for ep.2.

I haven’t done a comparison yet to see how much of the Wormskin material made it into Dolmenwood.

Anyone have leads on Mythic Bastionland maps? Not sure if I’ll have time to generate one before a game.

Swyvers is Deal of the Day on Drivethru. I got to run it for Hoskins, Jay Domingo, Tiger Wizard and Hambone at Gary Con a couple of years back. I had a stomach ache from laughing. Go get it. It’s wonderful. #osr

Still haven’t found a band I like to lift weights to more than Crowbar.

Mechanics are easy peasy. Roll under your stat with d6s. Fewer d6s for easy tasks, more d6s for harder tasks. Combat uses 2d10, and your weapon choice affects your AC and initiative. Magic is an awesome take on Blackjack.

This game is weirdly designed.

No, but I did play Beach Head

Old friend is in town so we’ve played games all weekend. Homebrew GI Joe, Savage World Supers, Mothership (I ran), and today we’re going to play Marvel Multiverse. I also got to play Call of Cthulhu last night with my other group. It’s the Poor Man’s Gen Con!
