Halloween Game 2019

Geez. It's been two months since my Halloween game? Feels like yesterday. Ugh. (All images from the second game.

I ran two separate games, with two different groups. Highlight for me: The Asteroid Encounter. It went off even better than I expected. Basic premise: … Continue reading Halloween Game 2016 →

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 →
