Halloween Special: The Curse of Lucretia Vaughn
Oct 31
Halloween has arrived, dear readers! (For you druids out there, I hope you have a blessed Samhain!) Hopefully, you have already got a Halloween-themed adventure. Trick-or-treating is basically roleplaying, so Halloween and gaming tend to naturally align. Whether it is the dead rising from the catacombs beneath a city to terrorize the night, or children being transformed into the monstrous...
Avalon Mesa: Martin Ambrose
Aug 23
The Avalon Mesa is nowhere in particular, at least nowhere I care to identify specifically. It’s somewhere west of the Mississippi and north of the Rio Grande.

One of those games is based on a short piece from a few months ago called Avalon Mesa, a pulpy mash-up of the Arthurian legendarium and an equally mythic version of the American Old West. When trying to take the Avalon Mesa out of a (very)...
