Leading Into The New Year: What I've Been Up To

I've been rather negligent at updating of late, for a handful of reasons. I'm to the point where I'm comfortable defining those reasons: my projects for the new year.

• Unnamed 1930s Mythos-Based Urban Fantasy Campaign
• Shadowrun Introductory Campaign (to segue into my core Shadowrun campaign)
• Legacy - a board/card game that I'm not quite ready to debut
• The Long Night - A Vampire: the Dark Ages mod for Crusader Kings II
• Vessel - an RPG ruleset/setting in a modern urban fantasy environment

Kill Team!

Games Workshop has released a digital ruleset for a squad-based 40k they've neglected since 2nd Edition -- Kill Team!  Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas

As a little Christmas present, I was going to try to make a working Santa + Reindeer ship in Kerbal Space Program, fly it through low orbit, and take a screenshot. I failed. Merry Christmas!

Deadzone has arrived!

Merry Christmas to me!  Deadzone has arrived.

Sadly, I need to rush out of town.  Unboxing/pictures to come.

Employing Horror Despite Technology, pt 2

Employing Horror Despite Technology, pt. 1

A recent hypothesis was recently posed to me by a friend about how supernatural suspense/horror would be different with the use of modern technology -- cell phones, the internet, and other forms of instantaneous communication.
