Please re-read what I wrote. I clearly specified the originally planned anthology series, not the series of Michael Myers vehicles.

Allegedly, it was originally intended to be an anthology film series, with each entry tackling a new Halloween-themed horror spectacle, but the first film was so wildly successful that Moustapha Akkad insisted the second film also be a Michael Myers feature (because, you know, the money). That...

For DMs, it's my friend Jamie. He was masterful at defining the sandbox as we (the other players) explored it and he was also one of the few DMs who I've seen pull off time and dimensional travel successfully, with all that entails. He ran the first 5e campaign that I played in from start to an...

Mike and I had a (very) brief discussion about this project on social media. It looks like a ton of fun and Mike's previous design credits (mostly with The Design Mechanism on Mythras products) are solid. I expect this to be good.

The Kreizler series by Caleb Carr is (mostly*) historical fiction/fantasy that really revels in the dirty side of the times. *The third book in the series takes place in 2016, but is tied to the first two books by way of an expert on Dr. Laszlo Kreizler.

Dario Argento's "Animal Trilogy" (Bird With the Crystal Plumage, Cat o' Nine Tails, Four Flies on Grey Velvet) and Dario Argento's The Three Mothers (Suspiria, Inferno, and Mother of Tears). Star Wars (original trilogy).

The next time I run 5e, it'll be Level Up: A5e. Even with the small amount of errata in the PDFs, it's still, IMO, a vastly superior interpretation of the 5e rules compared to anything else on offer. It does a lot of stuff that I really enjoy (and that several people I know had adopted as house...

SOLD!

For straight sale, just in time for Halloween, a GURPS 3e horror lot consisting of everything you'll need to scare the absolute crap out of your players! GURPS Horror 4-panel GM screen with uncut horror themed cardstock heroes minis, a suitably creepy battlemap, and GURPS Lite 3e insert. All...

The Window A Minimalist Fantasy Affair Vox Draconis The Window and Vox Draconis are 100% free (both of which I discovered in the late 90s). The Window really changed my perspective on RPGs as a whole, which isn't something I can say about many RPG books (Nightmares of Mine is the only other...

Doppelganger. With a little (secret) player cooperation and a closed environment, a lot of fun can be had with a doppelganger.

I always love gaming (both playing and running) at The Yellow King in Colorado Springs and have never had any problems there. I even head down there a few times a month for a "hobby hangout" with friends (we build models, paint minis, work on writing, etc). The owner is a great guy, there's a...

I almost bought into this full tilt a while back. And then Goodman Games made their bad decision. I won't miss it.

The fan (conspiracy) theory that Captain Ron is just pre-collapse Snake Plissken makes both Captain Ron and Escape From New York more fun for me.

Variants of OD&D (my own A Minimalist Fantasy Affair with some of the classes from the Companion) and B/X (James V. West's Black Pudding) this year, but not currently (I'm writing games for other people currently).
