Welcome back to the campaign design series! The last entry was fairly basic as to what is discussed, but this time, we’ll be delving into something much more interesting (at least to a good portion of my readers, if I had to guess): The whorehouse! THE Whorehouse of Whorehouses So, what’ the big idea here? What makes this place renowned around the world as THE whorehouse? Well...
Campaign Design #1 – The City of a Thousand Delights (Part 1)
Welcome to the first in what will hopefully be a fairly long series of articles discussing my campaign creation processes. In this particular case, I do have it a bit simpler than I usually do since I’m just going to be reworking and modifying a couple of existing adventures. But, over the years, I’ve never tried developing my fantasy setting more fully; I’ve had bits and...
Upcoming D&D Campaign – Redoing a Classic
I’m currently running a Call of Cthullu campaign that my players have been enjoying quite a bit, set in the long-ago times of…the late 1990s. I’ve been winging it for the most part, as I tend to do, and have managed to keep things mostly straight, which has been something of a miracle.

My initial plan is to make use of a modified version of the Star Wars Saga Edition rules; I have pretty much all the books and played the hell out of it for years, so...
Failure is Always an Option; This Time, It May Have Been The Best One
This past Sunday saw my first attempt to run a Call of Cthulhu game. I’ve run a few horror games before, but this was our first time delving into the the actual CoC system (7th edition in fact). And I’ll freely admit this is more of a test than a full on, long running campaign, just a little tale about a zombie outbreak in a tourist mecca at the height of tourist season that may or...
Campaign World Building Entry #1 – A New Beginning for an Old World
So, I suppose it’s time for a confession of sorts. Some of you may be familiar with my race of cat girls and boys that I’ve used in various pieces of fiction and online RP over the years, the Kerryn. They’ve been around for quite a long time now, and I have more than a few characters that I am most intimately familiar with, and many more minor kerryn characters that fill the...
