TTRPG Treasure Chest

Tactical Tuesday: Vehicle Spotlight-Cutter

By Glenn Bane

This boat doesn’t get the action-figure glam like tanks or attack choppers—it’s lean, quiet, mean, and wet. If your pulp-military TTRPG campaign involves frozen hellscapes, swamp infiltrations, or coastal black-ops, then the cutter deserves a spot on your squad’s manifest.

Tactical Tuesday: Operation Iron Tide

By Glenn Bane

Welcome to the Iron Veil Archipelago, a forgotten corner of the world where shadows move faster than the truth. In “Operation Iron Tide,” you’re not just here to play soldier—you’re here to clean up a mess.

Tactical Tuesday: Operation Shadow Vein

By Glenn Bane

Your team of operatives—mercenaries, ex-soldiers, or desperate adventurers—has been hired for a covert mission in a remote, resource-rich region known as Zarvoska, a land of untapped wealth and simmering tensions.

Tactical Tuesday: One Shot, One Kill

By Glenn Bane

There’s a certain kind of silence in a garage at 2 a.m.—the kind that hums with the static of teenage imagination and the slow burn of a space heater. That’s where I was, hunched over a folding table, surrounded by soda cans, graph paper, and the smell of motor oil.

Tactical Tuesday: Mission Hooks & Hazards

By Glenn Bane

Deep in hostile airspace, your squad’s transport goes down after being hit by anti-aircraft fire. Now, you’re trapped behind enemy lines in dense jungle terrain.

Tactical Tuesday: Operation Ember Sky

By Glenn Bane

Alright, listen up. This isn’t a training op, and it sure as hell isn’t a milk run. Intel just dropped, and it’s uglier than last week’s chow.

Tactical Tuesday: Operation Redridge

By Glenn Bane

This isn’t just a mission. It’s a war in microcosm, and you’re on point. The target is codename “Boar,” a hardened insurgent leader holed up in the dense forests of the Red Ridge region.

Tactical Tuesday: Be the 1-Man Army

By Glenn Bane

Alright, tough guy (or gal), so you want to be the lone wolf, the shadow in the jungle, the one the enemy whispers about around their campfires?

Stories and Blogs

31 Days of Halloween: Three-Witches Glee

By Glenn Bane

Let us descend into the cobwebbed corridors of memory, where celluloid ghosts flicker and dance upon the silver screen.

31 Days of Halloween: Twin Lenses of Poe

By Glenn Bane

Welcome, my dear fellow travelers upon the eerie planes of cinema, to a labyrinthine tale where the haunting whispers of Edgar Allan Poe serve not as the foundation, but as the muse. Two Evil Eyes offers not a devout tribute to its literary progenitor but rather a platform for the darkly distinctive imaginations of two cinematic titans, George A. Romero and Dario Argento.

31 Days of Halloween: Colors of Fear & Fire

By Glenn Bane

Before the name “Lecter” became synonymous with gourmet cannibalism and suave menace—before the perfumed gloss of mainstream thrillers and slick serial-killer dramas—there was a whisper in the dark, a haunting prelude cloaked in dread and sharp neon.

31 Days of Halloween: Eyes-Closed, Fear-Open

By Glenn Bane

When A Nightmare on Elm Street first appeared, it landed differently for us than it might for the young people of today.
