And Thus It Ends

Not with a bang but with a whimper.

So a group of friends and my wife and I have had a gaming going for about four years now. We started off playing a custom made OSR D&D game designed by my friend Joe called Mythos Archanum.  We did that for about six months but Joe ended up moving.  The we jumped around playing various Savage Worlds setting for about six months.  Then my friend Rob took over and lead us on a D&D 5th Edition game that went 18 levels and ran for over a year and a half.  These last six months we have been kind of jumping around but we ended up playing a pretty fun Fate Core game lead by my friend Caleb set in an alternative earth where the Nazi's were defeated in WWII but not before opening up all sorts of occultic gates and ruining much of the world.

Tonight was going to be one of our last games.  The last month has been hard as my wife moved for a job and I'm in the process of packing and trying to move to be with her.  So I've missed a few sessions but I was looking forward to tonight.

Well just Caleb showed.  Mitch was in Tuscon, Rob cancelled, my wife was away, and Everett was a no show.  Caleb and I had fun playing the card game Flux a bit, and then we went out to dinner.  I learned more about Caleb tonight than in the past few years.  It was fun learning a bit more about him, he is a cool dude.

But I think that might have been it?  I'm still in town, and I hope more sessions will happen, but I worry our four year RPGing journey is pretty much done.

I telecommute, so having social interaction with people has been a real blessing.  I love pen and pencil tabletop role playing games, though I'm a little conflicted about them being a Christian.  I just know they have opened me up to meeting people that I normally would not have met, and I've enjoyed gaming with my wife and these guys for the past four years.

Life might be pulling me in a different direction than the rest of these guys, but I will miss them all, and I will miss gaming if I can't find a group to game with when my move is complete.

I will miss you guys and the adventures in our minds that we went on.  I hope life brings you all good things and you all find Jesus as God draws you.  You all have been a blessing to my wife and I in our five year stay in sleep Prescott.  Thank you.

Mutant Future Christmas Themed Adventure

Bad Santa: An Adventure Concept for your Mutant Future or Post Apocalyptic Game So I *might* be running a game session tonight, I'm kind of the back up guy.  We will have possibly three GM's present, and I'm probably 3rd in line.  But as one looks like will be a no show and the other is new, I figure I better have at least a concept of an adventure setup.  So for a quick and dirty set of ideas I used the Beast & Barbarians Golden Edition adventure idea generator to generate some broad concepts for an adventure, and then applied them to a Mutant Future setting.  I also wanted to have the adventure Christmas/Holiday themed.  So here goes. Back Story The party is friends with a mutant settlement that relies on a semi-working robotical farm for food.  Some kind of robotical unit snuck into the village and stole the nuclear power cell from one of the main CPU that controls the farm.  A scout from the village tracked the bot's path into the ru...

CharacterAI Inspired Story

A mysterious rider appears in a forest and encounters a humanoid monster attempting to slay him. He defeats the monster and discovers a mystical cabin in the woods. Inside, an old woman listens to his tale, allows him to rest, feeds him, and then gives him a sword to aid in his quest.
