Re: MUP 18- New Keepers & Blob Monsters
In the standard practice of yore, the result of failure in investigation is that "nothing happens"; if you missed a Spot Hidden, crickets chirp, and characters bumble around the room like bland Inspectors Clouseau. Awesome and incredibly evocative illustration, there! :lol: Although it not a common...

Re: 5th of November
I suppose that its because it's a country-specific festival. It's all about an attempt to destroy the English Parliament. It's a bit like Thanks Giving.

Once I played in a game where another player was playing a character who was part of a Chicago crime family, working with another who was esse...

Re: MUP 18- New Keepers & Blob Monsters
One of the best things you can do to prepare for a session, is to make yourself a list of names. Get a lined foolscap sheet and divide it vertically into three, then fill each of the "boxes" created with an ordinary name. Such a great suggestion, and something easily overlooked. Nothing can break t...

Racism in the Classic Setting
I'm just curious as to how (or if) others address the issue of racism in the game. This also extends to sexism and classism. As these elements were fairly prevalent in the 1920's are they ever present in your games? Personally, I've addressed it on occasion through the attitudes of certain NPCs in a...

Re: Locke & Key movie trilogy in the works
Sweet! Rodriguez' art is spectacular and really compliments Joe Hill's writing. I'm hoping it gets a more tested director than they attached to "Horns."

Re: Introduce Yourself
Hey folks, I'm Ian, from the frozen wastes of Canada, where every day is spent fleeing from herds of Gnoph-keh and making blood sacrifices to appease Ithaqua. I'm an illustrator by trade, though I've spent most of the past decade primarily creating pixel art and animation for games. A few years ago ...
