A Judge Dredd scenario - It Aint Christmas

Here's another scenario for playing an RPG in the world of Judge Dredd. The title of it comes from
the latest craze to sweep through Mega City One, "Sledding", where citizens climb onto wheeled sleds and zoom down the outside of the blocks and right into trouble. I've played this successfully with three Judges using the FATE system. The scenario itself is about as generic as they come so will fit whatever system you're using for Judge Dredd.

A Judge Dredd Scenario - Hospital Corners

"Hospital Corners" is a system-generic scenario for use in playing a role playing session in the universe of Judge Dredd. It's designed with a single session in mind, but with a few incidents along the way that can be dropped in to extend the session if you want.

I wrote this scenario for a game of FATE but it has no stats or figures, so it can be used in whatever system you're using to Judge Dredd.

It's a minor investigation type scenario with a planned battle towards the end. The drop-ins already mentioned can be used to spice up the mid game of things start to lag.

It's free, so why not have a read :) Download the scenario

Dwarven Vengeance - a gamebook

My gamebook "Dwarven Vengeance" is now available to buy via LuLu.  This is a game book where you choose which path to follow and which fights to have. It's a classic "turn to page" style game book with 401 entries. It differs from some of the classic gamebooks in that it doesn't have any of the lame endings where you just die. Instead there is always a chance to win through, a small chance true, but then you pick your own fights!  So onto the back cover blurb...

You've lost your home, your family and your future.

When you woke to find a dragon smashing through the gates of the underholm and goblins swarming in the corridors your first thoughts were of survival.

Then the anger came, and the thirst for revenge and the need to get your home back.

So starts the quest to find the Dragonbane, a mystical item that is your only hope to defeat the dragon.

Buy the book at LuLu.com ...and here's a little promo
