Call of the Watch Crow, Part 1

The Consortium-Black Sun war had finally come to the world of V’Lusia-4 and brought its indiscriminant devastation with it. First, its terrible touch could be seen in the skies as military Starfighters waged a brutal melee high above, while immense capital ships traded blazing volleys in the night; the fury visible, even from the planetary…

Here we go again-Nightclub Names

I am back with more names that may help your games a fiction get a little more zest. Last time I presented names of famous Bulls as starship names, Think that was a reach? Watch this.

Remembering the Beginning

I was remembering how I first began a lifelong fascination with tabletop role-playing games and was considering what they meant to me. It occurs to me that the reasons that I latched onto them may also be relevant to some of you. So here is the story… Before, discovering gaming, life was pretty quiet and…

A Look Back: T. Glenn Bane

Looking back almost ten years (pre moustache), I have been recalling the first collaboration I was ever involved in, and the remarkable people that shared that dream with me. All I can say about the energy that we all had was, well…it was electric.
