Greetings gamers from all systems, places and timelines! Recently we ran a Saint Patrick’s Day game which was a great deal of fun for all of those involved. And while it took place on an island called the Emerald Haven, if your group is down for some over the top antics, these could be used … Read more
After a little over 2 years and 20+ sessions, we have finally concluded our adventure through the Norse Kingdoms in Midgard and the remaining 8 worlds of Yggdrasill, the World Tree, where the Auspicious Signs were successful in stopping Ragnarok: the Twilight of the Gods. Journey to Ragnarok was in the campaign queue for quite … Read more
Greetings gamers from all systems, places and timelines! After two years and twenty-something sessions, our Journey to Ragnarok campaign has ended. Those familiar with my gaming style will find it no surprise that this went off-script. Not because the published material wasn’t excellent but because it’s hard to resist, at least for me, when it … Read more
