Shadows over Sezgard

Had the rare privilege last weekend to travel to Western MA. to GM an afternoon of Nightwatch for a group of friends. My host informed me the last time they had all been together was at his wedding, some 25 years earlier. It was very cool and quite humbling to be a part of a […]

Downed Drone Downtown

Another RESISTANCE: EARTH AAR Another test game last night with Matt, Other Pat, and myself. (Neighbor Mike was out sick) This time, the survivors need to destroy an alien drone in a more dangerous mission area. Nine ‘Point of Interest’ with potential salvage plus a central objective. Alien Drone is damaged and poses no threat […]

Welcome to Spustoshenyy

Population: 0 There you are, a veteran crew returning from a five-day mission. Sore backs, sore feet, tired, hungry, half your ammo gone – but still alive. And there’s a payday waiting. Even better. The Institute wanted Anomaly readings and environmental data from an area in the Deep Zone, so they hired you to babysit […]

Loggerheads Underground

Our Symbaroum adventure continues as our heroes investigate the logging site where a party of laborers went missing. A short, sharp clash with a Gwann revealed not only the loggers’ cause of death but an underground passage that led to a catacomb. Never ones to pass up a good delve, they decided to descend and […]

Nightwatch Guilds

“In darkness, we hunt” – Nightwatch motto. In NIGHTWATCH, a player’s character belongs to one of four Hunter Guilds; ancient orders of monster hunters dedicated to exterminating the vile creatures of darkness where ever and whenever they rear their ugly heads. Each Guild specializes in a specific approach to eliminating evil and trains their recruits […]

Back Together

It’s been three months but the Cape Cod Wargame Commission was back together last night rolling dice, munching snacks, pushing miniatures, and having a blast. One member shy, six of us sat down to test drive Pinnacle Entertainment’s latest iteration of their Savage Worlds RPG, the Adventure Edition. As big fans of cyberpunk, we journeyed […]

New Recruits and Comparison Shots

With ZONA ALFA slated for release next month, I’ve been painting and modifying miniatures to equip my Zone crews. I need plenty of warm bodies (and ammo ) if I’m going to clear those Hot Spots and turn a profit. Here are several recent recruits: Nothing fancy or complicated, they’re a mix of Assault Group, […]

ZONA ALFA crews

A History It’s no secret I’ve been fascinated with the STALKER game setting since ‘Shadow of Chernobyl’ released back in 2007. 30 sq km around the Chernobyl Nuclear Reactor site reproduced for a single-player, first person shooter/survival/horror sandbox game, S:SoC was quirky and buggy as hell but it was also moody, atmospheric, smoldering, dangerous, and […]

Not Miniature Monday

Spent the last three days slammed with work and a fever, so the miniatures-related post is delayed for a few days while I get back on my feet. Until then, here’s a couple shots of some recent brushwork, plus a couple maps and some banners I ran across while scouring the interwebs. (all excellent and […]

Miniature Monday

It’s Monday, time for more miniatures. Here’s another war band for the forces of darkness, led this time by a Tiefling Sorcerer. He’s backed up by a demonic barbarian, two hell knights, and a vampire assassin. This is a nasty crew in close quarters or on a crowded table where cover negates long ranged attacks. […]
