My local group in Seattle finished playing a Scum & Villainy campaign recently, with a satisfying conclusion. As usual, we collected some quotes from funny moments that happened during the campaign. During this game, the crew of the refurbished Cerberus-class patrol ship Monkey’s Paw set out into the Procyon Sector with a bounty hunting license, […] Read more
At the same time that Pirates of the Boundless Isles was wrapping up, my other gaming group also finished playing the campaign of Night’s Black Agents that we’d been doing. Night’s Black Agents is a very specific game. The players are mercenary spies in Europe, who have discovered that vampires exist. Over the course of […] Read more
I recently finished running another year-long RPG campaign. Set in the fantasy world that I always run D&D or similar stuff in, this game was about fantasy pirates in the Boundless Isles, a section of the world full of corsairs, trading companies, cultists, and weird monsters. About a third of the way through, it turned […] Read more
Since 2011, an old blog post of mine about adding flintlock guns to 3.5e has been one of the most popular posts on my blog. I haven’t played 3.5 for years, though, and I suspect most people visiting the site haven’t either, so I figured it was about time to update that content for fifth […] Read more
In between major long-term campaigns with my Seattle group, we decided to do a short-run game of the new Sentinels RPG. Over the course of a few months, the Bishop City Irregulars fought crime in a fictional city still recovering from the OblivAeon Crisis. They were even good at it, occasionally. Our cast of characters: […] Read more
Our online Shadowrun campaign ended recently due to the gamemaster needing to work weird hours for a couple of months. It was a sort of sandbox game set in the Federal District of Columbia, with the team taking care of personal business and trying to keep hidden from the authorities alongside finding jobs and trying […] Read more
A while ago, I tried to get myself to start reviewing books on my blog here. That didn’t work out super well, as evidenced by the fact that there’s only one post tagged as “What’s Adam reading?” in the entire archive. A few months ago, I decided to give that whole book review thing another […] Read more
The game of Starfinder that my local Seattle RPG group has been playing since September of last year has just come to a conclusion, with a glorious climax that could very easily lead into a second season. We’re all kind of burned out on the game system right now, for various reasons (for example, I […] Read more
This is a story I wrote about the aftermath of a game of Shadowrun I played two weeks ago. REAL CHROME SEASON 1 EPISODE 5 SOUND AND FURY The house is small, cluttered, and seems to be held together by jury-rigged patch jobs done by someone who doesn’t actually know anything about home repair or […] Read more
I often play in more than one tabletop RPG campaign at the same time these days. In addition to the Blades in the Dark game that ended last month, I’ve been playing a game of Mutant; Year Zero with my college friends on Roll20. That game came to its conclusion today. As usual, we’ve been […] Read more
