Road Trip – New England and Eastern New York
Sunday, September 6th, 2015I’ve just added a PDF of “Road Trip – New England and Eastern New York” assembled from out of copyright images on the New York Library Digital Archive to my Trail of Cthulhu resources. The idea I’m toying with is one or more scenarios for Trail of Cthulhu (or I may go with Call of […]
Dracula Dossier Campaign Cartographer 3
Tuesday, September 1st, 2015Tonight I wanted to have a little play with the new floorplan style for Campaign Cartographer 3 for creating plans in the style of the Dracula Dossier. With little time available I didn’t want to take on a full blown project like a building so I thought I’d throw together one of the locations beloved […]
1920 New England Road Trip
Monday, August 24th, 2015I’ve just added The Ideal Road Trip a 1920 driving tour of New England to my Trail of Cthulhu resources page. I’ve assembled the scans of the out of copyright book into a PDF for ease of reading and printing. I’ve also done a rather rought and ready job of assembling two maps in the […]
A second set of 1930s Film Star Photos
Tuesday, August 18th, 2015I’ve added a second set of 1930s film star photos to my Trail of Cthulhu resources page. Lots of them handy for NPC portraits.
Pocket Junk and a little Light Reorganising
Friday, August 14th, 2015I’ve been moving some of my pages round over the last few days to try and make some of them a little less buried away. So all the pages that used to be under other peoples’ games are now just under games. I’ve also merged two blog posts about pocket junk into one and made […]
Gaming the Heist Movies
Monday, August 10th, 2015You’re Only Supposed to Blow the Bloody Doors Off appeared in Valkyrie Quarterly issue 25. I’m posting the original article online but I plan on adding to it and expanding it.
Role Playing the Movies
Friday, July 31st, 2015Obviously there are RPGs that are licenced from movies. Others often borrow (and sometimes outright steal) from movies, TVs and books then file off the serial numbers. I’ve a couple of posts on borrowing inspiration from particular movies in the past and I always intend to write more so to chivvy myself along I’ve decided […]
1930s Film Star Portraits
Monday, July 27th, 2015I had an email asking about where I found the illustrations I used on the Bookhounds of MI5 so I’ve pulled them all together into a collection and added it to my Trail of Cthulhu resources page. And in case you’ve missed it the poll on how I should post RPG resources like this is […]
Bookhounds + MI5
Saturday, July 25th, 2015Posted a new page last night of ideas for adding MI5 to a Bookhounds of London campaign which I inventivelly called Bookhounds of MI5. All the stats are for Trail of Cthulhu.
A New 7-Sentence NPC
Friday, July 17th, 2015CM Cline in Dragon Magazine 184 (August 1992) presented The 7-Sentence NPC. Back then most of my NPCs either got a full page biography or a stat block. Over time I found moving to the middle ground the 7-Sentence NPC represents a handy tool. They have the advantage of being quick to read as a […]
