Geez. It's been two months since my Halloween game? Feels like yesterday. Ugh. (All images from the second game. I didn't get pictures of first one due to our illustrious Joseph Reidhead only being in the second game.) This year I ran two games, using two different rulesets but using a similar (zombie/demon shambler) theme. … Continue reading Halloween Game 2019

RPG Retrospective: Halloween 2015
Some context. Every year, I build a massive Halloween game, where I go all out on minis, terrain, costumes, food, and just an overall gaming environment. Today, I started prepping for the 2016 run, and I thought it'd be fun to share some photos of last years! These are in as much chronological order as … Continue reading RPG Retrospective: Halloween 2015
