A Lair

A fancy version.

And because Tim is afraid of upsetting the inkjet gods, a black and white version.

The Temple of Kalonius - ver 2!

 Cri Ke (over on FB) made a suggestion about forcing the players through the trap (room 7) and the flooded room (room 10) so I modified the map a little to encourage players to enjoy the various obstacles in the dungeon that their friendly DM has placed in their way to the BigAssTreasure. 

The Temple of Kalonius

Its been a bit, I have been busy and frankly, not really feeling RPGs much lately. Perhaps this will change. Made a simple map.

For those needing a GM ready map (eg, Vance or Shane), here you go. 

Also, for Tim, who is always afraid he will anger the gods of printer ink, sans background.

A Girl Called Samson - book review

 

I am going to deviate slightly from my usual gaming topic today. I have a 'mini book club' with a friend and she likes to read books I typically would not. We selected this book recently, a fictionalized version of a true story. A young woman caught up in the American Revolution who disguised herself as a young man to fight the British. I had read many Rev War books but few managed to bring the war to life, oddly from the viewpoint of a women, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

 

While this version of history is slightly romanticized (especially the ending), but I very much enjoyed this read, enough that I went digging into the actual history and the circumstances around Deborah Samson's stint as a young man in the war. 

History is amazing and our lives are enriched by learning about what has happened before us:

Sector Nine on itch

 

Gosh, way way back in 2017 I made this zine. This was the year I retired from the Army and in August I took a new job, essentially the COO for a medical device startup. - serious money (like twice my Army salary) but also 10x the stress, global travel, managing the US operations for the company). Life suddenly became hectic and this project like so many others fell to the wayside. In digging around and looking at Star Wars options I came across this and though I should probably drop it on itch.io so others could see it. I really had a great time writing this one and putting it together with art, planets, maps, and NPCs. I even managed to run a few sessions in this setting before the world caught up with me.

I simply love the space pulpy feel of dashing heroes saving damsels (and worlds!) from vile evildoer scientists bent on world domination.
