Chasing Edwards
Given a pause in the Spelens Hus game in Mörk Borg this week, I met with Helma and Henna to play a session of Lacuna. Which means this. Junior Mystery Agents are put into electronic sleep, so they dream or psychically travel into Blue City, which is a common or non-individualized dream or unconscious state…

I’m Becoming Predictable
After a few months on hiatus my D&D 5e group started out into the uncharted territory of Tier 3 play (levels beyond 10). They’re traveling to a cave that will allow them passage through the mountains to a desert land beyond. For context I prepare travel portions of the game by doing two things: Every…

Say No to something, anyway
This post continues from Our first Hunt, which despite its name includes two Hunts, featuring my character Hazard, Noah’s Lilith o’Bedlam, and Alessio’s Grey Witch. We really wanted more Stalkers, that is, more players, so our latest session, and new Hunt, adds the Mask, played by Pedro. Unfortunately Alessio has to leave us in a…

Sebastian D’Auvergne: 600 Year Old Vampire

Fallen Angels
I had a chance to try this game as a homework assignment for the Phenomena course taught by Ron during this period. If I’m sharing the game’s journal, first and foremost, it’s because I found a particular pleasure in the imagery that developed around this apocalypse, and a particular sense of fondness for the characters…

Our first Hunt
Back to the Vault! In this case, as GM’d by Adriano, who is going all-out in terms of locations for our Stalkers’ hunting. I’m not sure what to tell you here except that our characters are also hitting hard right out of the gate – Lilith o’Bedlam (Noah), the Grey Witch (Alessio), and Hazard (me)…

Thoughts, philosophies, ideologies, and demons
About when I think it’s time to retire the old email for good, as it mostly delivers spam whose algorithm is clearly confused, someone uses it for the only reason anyone should. Ransom contacted me to ask some questions about Sorcerer which led to this conversation. They were pretty deep questions, including positions regarding the…

Fangs in the Nordic twilight
At Odin’s request, we’re playing Vampire: the Requiem, 2nd edition, which I have agreed to learn enough to GM and for which he is the go-to for rules details during play. We’ve been at it for three sessions of varying length; the embedded video playlist is current through session 2 and I’m just exporting the…
