New York Road Trip Adventure WIP
Sunday, September 27th, 2015I’ve already posted a few bits of the material for the New York Road Trip adventure for Trail of Cthulhu I’ve been working on. I’d got the basic form of the adventure in mind – a pretty open sandbox affair where the player’s investigators follow a series of clues left by a previous group who […]
The Blog Post that Ran Away with Itself
Friday, September 25th, 2015As I’ve already mentioned in the Goldilocks Research Zone I started digging into a couple of obscure 1920s organisations.

Goldilocks Research Zone

Language Cherries and Lemons for Trail of Cthulhu
Sunday, June 21st, 2015Two ideas on ways of encouraging players of Trail of Cthulhu to take more languages.

The Raid Notes for Role Players
Friday, May 25th, 2012With some films I find the fun is trying to pick a game that would best fit gaming the film. The Raid isn’t one of those films. With the raid the question I find myself asking is how many games can it be fitted into as a scenario? At the most obvious level it’s a […]
