I'm actually working this angle right now during my MASQUE of the RED DEATH MILLENIUM game (over on the Gothic Earth board). The 13 stanzas of Hyksosa will actually culminate in the 2012 armaggedon. Makes it more realisitic for the players too! As for what happened between the MoTRD boxed set and no...

The players found RAOUL and were spotted by SCAR. They broke camp with RAOUL at some trailer park off the beaten path and discovered the dire condition of his son NIKKO. But is it really the result of a haunt? Or is RAOUL's mind playing tricks on him from the psychodelic drugs he just "happens&...

I know some old school heads who have a lot of positive things to say about 4E, the way it's more streamlined and the combat is more visual and visceral. But from what I've seen (nothing), the only real difference in edition is the rule set. Which basically means "combat". So yeah, the com...

ATTORNEY REGA is average height and weight, with brown hair and eyes. Yet he carries himself like he's 10 feet tall. One of the most vicious and clever of all blood-sucking leeches in the high-stakes world of LA law. He has never believed in Zhakata or the Church of Scientology (both becoming alarmi...

Madd love, LP! Thanks for reading! Have you seen or checked out this module before? Sky view panorama. Undisclosed housing projects, East NYC. Straight hood. Boxes and boxes of sagging buildings forcibly stuck together at the corners, offering a jagged prison of claustrophobia. The street bisecting...

AGENT RAMOS was in upstate NY when TENROU's father died. AGENT RAMOS was with LENIENCE, who knows ALEXUS who knows MARGUERITA and VAN RICHTEN knows them all. So suffice to say, I gave the entire floor to the players. More roleplaying goodness arises. Just to throw a bone, the PCs have the TV news on...

Back at the hospital room, VAN RICHTEN is going over ORDER of the GUARDIANS lore once more for the players sake (just to make sure everybody is on the same page, and understands the concept of these famed RAVENLOFT cabals). Once again - the WATCHERS at the GATE were an OoG branch (destroyed when the...

MARGUERITA DEVILLE is running. Running down a hallway, clad in her orange prison jumpsuit, broken handcuffs dangling. She has the stolen talisman in her hand, trying to escape. But not so fast… standing at the end of the hallway to meet her – ATTORNEY REGA, with a dozen armed CO’s ready to bring her...

The three of them (AGENT RAMOS, LENIENCE and VAN RICHTEN) were just discussing their next move… when two large black men sauntered into the hospital room. There was a VERY awkward moment as the two opposing sides sized each other up. Were they here to finish the job, the players wondered? The two bl...

The three characters (AGENT RAMOS, LENIENCE ELDERWOOD and RUDOLPH VAN RICHTEN) pulled up to the crowded park, nestled thickly in between project buildings. The music was already bumping so loud, that the siren from AGENT RAMOS’ squad car couldn’t even be heard. The area was pitch black, like a const...
