In defense of simple games

The Cape Cod Wargame Commission finished up our Eclipse Phase 2.0 adventure last Tuesday evening. For the final battle, the Firewall team was reinforced with two additional Agents – a Combat Medic and Scout/Soldier – (Mike D and Liam) as they infiltrated an abandoned war-tech bunker in the Titan Quarantine Zone.

Rowville Rescue

An INSURGENT EARTH AAR The Rowville Resistance Cell was at it again last night, responding to a frantic call on a CB radio. Apparently, a survivor was hiding in Dryden’s Ditch, an old farm on the outskirts of town. According to the survivor, old Dryden himself had made a last stand there, taking down half-a-dozen […]

Insurgent Earth

I’m pleased to announce that Insurgent Earth is finally done.

Resisting the usual Murder Hobo tendencies, our shipwrecked adventurers have decided to aid the locals instead of rob them. Our first stop off the beach was a small town that we quickly learned was suffering from a mysterious blight that plagued […]

Winding down another Year

In the final stretch of 2021, our group is coasting toward the new year trying out new games, running one-shots for old ones, play-testing new rules, and basically collecting ourselves before we launch into 2022. Most recently, we ran several sessions of “The Well”, an indie RPG that’s essentially an inverted dungeon crawl. I used […]
