Last night the Monday night group took a break from the Savage Worlds fantasy game and played some Lacuna Part 1. I ran the game and Cary, Joel and Doris played agents from the Hospital storyline see here for a bit o’ that) that “Dude” ran last year.  “Dude” played Falconer, an agent from a previous [...]

In this week’s Savage Worlds fantasy game (based loosely in Shaintar) the party brought the snake cult to its knees, but the Temple of Knowledge may end up being a casualty in the war.
 

The first is rather shaky and disjoint. It couldn’t make up it’s mind whether it wanted to be cute, or lecherous, or silly.

The second game is an oddity as well. We used the suggestion in the text to change the first sentence. We played “Today Jared dies.” “Jared” was the free word, instead of “Robot.”

I’m particularly fond of an addition in the second game, where one player adds “nothing, but” in the 5th sentence. It reads very different without it.

In this week’s Savage Worlds fantasy game (based loosely in Shaintar) the party found out most of the plotting behind the snake cult and took some decisive actions to stop them. Two weeks in a row this game has been surprisingly fun.

Monday night I continued GMing our Savage Worlds fantasy campaign loosely using the Shaintar setting. I had a ridiculously good time playing! I’m serious, it was a great night of gaming, one of those times when you drive home giddy with your head filled with the images of what could or might happen next in [...]

This past Monday was a continuation of my attempt to use Savage Worlds (Shaintar fantasy setting) to do an impression of my Vampire: the Masquerade games from the mid to late 90s: lots of politicking and the like.

RoundCon 2010 was a success. Our Cave of Wanders went pretty well for a first time. I got to see what Paul was planning for his three games, and he got to see mine. We filled our our worksheets interviews between games so that we knew what was important and what should echo in future games both at RoundCon and other conventions. I’d like to think it was universally great, especially in that when things did go wrong, Paul and I were both almost immediately certain of a corrective action.

I’m writing about our recent pitch session for a new rpg series that the Canoneers planned to play using Primetime Adventures.
Ah, Primetime Adventures, affectionately known as PTA. ‘A game of television drama’, it says on the cover. I find [...]

If my Savage Worlds game were a comic book series, last night’s game would have been a set-up issue. The party resolved some niggling issues from their big fight with Milos and the snake cult, then met with four members of the Council of Seven of Shale, the official head of the city government.

I’ve been asked to post about the end of our Lady Blackbird rpg series.
You’ll want to read these two other posts first, for context. Which means three very long posts altogether, just to unpack a wonky ending to a wonderful game.
