The Experiments - a Traveller Scenario

The Experiments is a Traveller one-shot scenario for 1-5 players. Designed to be played in a single session where the PCs find themselves in a horror survival situation.

Convinced they were about to start a new life on a new world as part of the first wave of workers, they instead wake up in an underground facility on an operating table. With the lights failing, water pouring down the walls, and strange dangerous creatures coming up from below, this was not what they expected.

Going Ashore

Cover

The WWII Pacific campaign has captured the imagination of history buffs for generations. The island hopping battles between the hearty U.S. Marines and the dauntless Japanese form the cornerstone of that fascination.

Going Ashore is a solitaire deck building game where you play the part of the Marines carrying out a series of battles as you hop from island to island. You must defeat all of the enemies on each island before you can move to the next. Clear the enemy from five islands to claim victory, any other result will re-write history as a loss for the allied forces!


Currently the game is available only as a Print-and-Play package via WargameVault.com but in the next few weeks it will also become a real tangible game you can purchase via GameCrafter.com

Example attack

This zipped up Print-and-Play package includes rules, the cards, morale tracker and turn sequence chart. The cards are presented in three ways giving you the maximum printing options. One PDF uses a larger format card, another "hobbit" sized, but you also get all of the card images in hi-res, allowing you print the cards in any way you see fit (see the readme.txt file before you print anything).


This is my second solitaire deck building game, and expands both the mechanisms and the number of cards  over those that appeared in "Wipers Salient".

A Party of Wizards

I've just released a little RPG/story-telling game. In this game all the PCs are brand new wizards kicked out of the wizard school with an empty spell book and a basic understanding of magic. The main feature of this game is the generation of your own spells. There is no long list of spells to pick from, but instead there is a mechanism for creating your own spells!

So you take, quill, ink, spell-book, and dagger and wander into the wild world to discover and create your own spells as you battle the forces of evil (or good if your PCs are evil, you know, a lot of wizards seem to go evil, maybe it's the magic that does it).

Anyway, if you fancy giving it a try, you can get it from DriveThru for a buck-fifty.

A Judge Dredd scenario - Paint the Town Yellow

Here's another one-shot scenario I've whipped up for using FATE Core in the Judge Dredd universe. I've play tested it with three Judges and thing went very well (we only played for about 2 1/2 hours could have done with a full 3).

In this scenario a evil electrical genius with a grudge against the Judges, baits them and draws them into his underground palace of death traps. Judges will have to do some investigation and fight a series of gang bangers, all while being distracted by random street crimes.

Download the scenario, and let me know how your play through goes. :)

Here's a session report.

A DUNE scenario - Revenge Tastes like Dust

DUNE is such a classic setting and it really hasn't been done justice in the world of RPGs, so when I decided I wanted to play a game down in the sand, it was a case of making my own...sort of. I used the FATE core rules to run a very enjoyable one-shot and the link below takes you to the scenario I played. This is a blood and water scenario, not a high brow political adventure. Sharpen your knives, and go liberate some water!
