Happy New Year

 And so we say goodbye to 2023 and roll up a new year...

May the dice be on your side. 
If I could give you advantage on all the rolls this year, I would. 
But alas, that's not how life rolls. 

Wishing you all the best in the new year.

Old Gods of Appalachia

I'm still working through season 2, so no spoilers. Please. Today, I picked up copy of the roleplaying game based on the podcast, Old Gods of Appalachia. This a horror podcast written by Cam Collins and Steve Shell that debuted on October 31, 2019. The show is produced by DeepNerd Media and is distributed by Rusty Quill. If you care about that kind of stuff, I'm not sure I do. Anyway, the podcast was adapted into a role-playing game by Monte Cook Games. I really like the podcast, the ideas behind the stories, and Monte Cook Games tend to make pretty good stuff, so I have high hopes. I've been looking at this particular copy of the game for several months. Today, it decided to come home with me. Each episode of the podcast uses a combination of narration and audio drama to tell historical fiction stories based on Appalachian folklore. The stories are original fiction that draws on a mix of history and folk tales for inspiration and address strange things from witchcraft to t...

Call of Cthulhu

I have never played Call of Cthulhu. I know, right! I've been playing RPGs since the 1980s and this classic game has somehow eluded my experience. But the release of the latest edition of the game and the YouTube game reviews of Seth Skorkowsky  have pushed me over the edge. I can take it no longer. I must have this game. Truth be told, I did buy, and still have, the WotC d20 version of the game by Monte Cook and John Tynes. Never played it. But that is the only version of the game that I have had any exposure to in real-life. It's a nice book, but even when I was using d20 materials in my D&D 3e games it didn't see any use. That's more a reflection on my style of game than the content of that book. I don't know if this most recent version of the game will see any more action, but I made the decision to buy it. Actually, the cashier at the Gamer's Wharf made the decision. I asked him which I should get Call of Cthulhu or Cyberpunk Red. I think we know how th...
