S7 Latest News

A tense scene in a bathroom where a young man in a blue hoodie is startled by another figure in a dark hood, pointing a gun at him from a mirror, surrounded by swirling dark shadows.

Despite Real Life intruding on valuable Hobby Time, gaming continues here at the S7 Nerd Shack Bunker.

Silhouettes of three adventurers standing in a foggy forest, with mysterious large creatures looming in the background.

I’m running sessions for both the CCWC and the Sturgis Crew. As you know, I’m a big fan of Free League’s system and the setting, and it’s a real pleasure to dive back into the dark mysteries of Davokar. Doubly so, since this is a first for several of the Sturgis players and I’m glad to have such an engaging world and easy system to offer.

These are separate campaigns, but both groups are in the capital city, Yndaros, at the moment, so whether they’re in the slums or in a mansion, there’s conspiracy, intrigue, and danger around every corner. (And they’re nowhere near the forest yet.)

Kid’s Game

Had the distinct privilege of introducing miniature wargaming to five young adventurers the other day. A friend brought his two sons and three of their friends to the shop for the afternoon. Together, they braved the haunted city of Harrowgate, trying to open a magic portal that would end a terrible war.

Laid out a full table and loads of painted minis, ratcheting up the Coolness Quotient as high as possible. There was carnage and laughter, so I guess it worked. Although, I wager snacks, drinks, and pizza helped a lot.

Rumor has it they’re anxious to come back next month. So that’s good.

New Game in Development

On the writing front, I’ve been hammering out a new game. Had one of those moments where a sudden mass of inspiration surfaced in my head and I ended up with dozens upon dozens of pages of notes. I’m working my way through the trove now, sorting all the ideas into a coherent form. I enjoy what I do, writing fiction and making tabletop games, but I haven’t been this inspired in a while.

SCRAPJACKS will be a game about deep space salvagers working the derelict ships, the abandoned stations, and alien ruins on the fringes of colonized space. Solo/cooperative, miniature agnostic, open setting. I’m building terrain and painting minis for imminent test games. More as that develops.

That’s it for now. Thanks for stopping by. Have an excellent day.

And remember Stalker7 Games and Stories are available at Amazon and Wargame Vault.

      Nightwatch Terror and Treasure with simplified Dark Spawn. (Easier to kill)
      Had a selection of Pre-Gen characters, each with their own stat sheet.
      My friend, the Dad, was a powerful wizard who led the group and kept everyone on task.

    The table set-up looks awesome! Scrap Jacks sounds interesting too. Hope to see another Five Torches chapter soon, but no pressure there!

      Thank you.

      I will return to Five Torches. Promise.
      It’s just that Real Life has been busier than usual lately and my head has not had the spare room to sculpt smoke into stories.

      Have a good one.

      Word on the street is they’re all keen to come back, so I’m glad.

      And I’ll update as Scrapjacks develops.

      Have a good one.

      I’m hammering away at it as fast as I can. I had a massive inspiration dump, and there’s a lot to sort through.
      Good news is I licensed a set of Dave Graffam’s floor tiles for the layouts. Now I’ll be able to offer ready-to-print sections for the game. Which is very cool.
