Dear Apocalyptians!

I hereby present you with a unique opportunity to behead Marie Antoinette herself for just a few bucks! It goes without saying that I suggest such an act not for mere bloody entertainment but to save countless innocent lifes from the undead queen’s devilish intrigues! Satisfaction guaranteed!

In other words, I’ve just released All Heads Are Off, a two-layered mystery for Monster of the Week and other tabletop RPGs about a scheme of beheaded, undead French aristocrats. It’s available on DriveThruRPG:

Mysthea: Legends of the Borderlands launches on Kickstarter March 12th!

Kim, Kate, Amanda, and I get together to build an Apocalypse.

We’re using the Burned Over playbooks that Vincent’s releasing. Brain-picker, Vigilant, and Medic.

(I went that route because the moves feel a bit more elegant for this group, and match what I’m looking for out of our interactions with the Maelstrom and the denizens of same.)

All the other players are new to pbta-games. I’m new to AW itself, with a couple years playing Masks and such.

The setting is a ruined city which the survivors use as cover from the fae who have razed the larger world – the iron keeps them out of the ruins (mostly).

Excited!

Somewhere in the Pacific ocean is a small island, a few hundred miles off of the coast of the nearest continent.

Somewhere in the Pacific ocean is a small island, a few hundred miles off of the coast of the nearest continent.

Somewhere in the Pacific ocean is a small island, a few hundred miles off of the coast of the nearest continent. It’s not on any map or sea chart for some reason, and it has no lighthouse or signal beacons, yet there’s enough modern buildings for a hundred or so people on the only navigable beach front on the island. Everywhere else is too rocky to land a boat, and there’s no known airstrip. The island is heavily wooded and large enough to make exploration challenging. Only after the apocalypse do civilians come to live on the island, not knowing why this place is here.

So, what’s hidden? Nothing too grimdark that would result in people sealing the place off or running for their lives, nor should it be an automatic win for a post-apocalyptic community like an infinite source of electricity.

Dear Apocalyptioans, my dual mystery “It’s still Sparta” for Monster of the Week joined the Halloween sales on RPGnow in the last moment 🙂 It’s an experimental mystery where your players first play as ancient Spartan heroes in a gigantic flashback and then try to finish the Greeks’ monster hunting business as their usual Hunters. It’s always been great fun to run and play – please give it a try 🙂

Hey all!

Hey all!

Hey all! I wanted to share a draft of a PbtA game I’ve been working on and running. I’ve been pretty apprehensive about posting it here – but here we go!

The game is called “Promised Land” and it has evolved into what’s I’ve been calling a “Historical Supernatural Military Political Intrigue” RPG. It is set in antiquity, and draws on scriptural themes and setting elements. While I’ve been worried that the theme would not translate for my players, play-testing has gone really well!

I’d love to hear any opinions on it, especially from others who have experience with PbtA games.

Thanks!

Dungeon Starters are pretty cool, and I was thinking of making something similar for Apocalypse World (an apocalypse starter?).

This is my first try to see what might or might not work: The Float (think Waterworld).

What it contains:

• A list of possible resources to use for scarcity, barter or decoration

• A list of things to encounter

• Three custom moves (weather the storm, spin yarn, go fishing)

• A list of appropriately maritime character names

• A number of threats with associated stakes-questions

• Some alternative frames and tags for vehicles

• And since a brainer might make for a cool navigator, I also gave them a new option for gear: the neuro-receptive gyrocompass

Anyways, let me know what your first impressions are.

Is this something you’d see yourself using?

What do you think is useful, missing, or needs work?
