By Glenn Bane

he Shadowroot Supply Depot is a vital supply hub for the enemy, buried under the dense canopy of the jungle. It’s fortified, but not invincible.

Tactical Tuesday: Guerrilla Game

By Glenn Bane

Tactical Tuesday: The Value of Medals

By Glenn Bane

Alright, listen up, legionnaire. This is straight from command. I’m here to tell you why medals, commendations, and awards are more than just shiny bits of metal in your modern military-themed TTRPG.

Tactical Tuesday: The 11th Hour of War

By Glenn Bane

Alright, GMs, strap in and grab your coffee—this is where the war story gets bloody and raw. The 11th hour of any war isn’t when the dust settles; it’s when the dust gets kicked up into a choking cloud of chaos. This is the moment when a losing side unravels, stretching every last thread of their resolve until it breaks.

Tactical Tuesday: The Grinding Heart of War

By Glenn Bane

We’re not talking the glamorous start of a war or its chaotic collapse—we’re talking the blood-soaked belly of the beast, where strategies choke in the mud and troops start asking why they’re even fighting.

Tactical Tuesday: The 1st Hour of War

By Glenn Bane

Listen up, GMs. When diplomacy hits a brick wall and the first shot rings out, that’s when the world takes a nosedive into chaos. The outbreak of war isn’t surgical or precise—it’s a sledgehammer smashing a windshield.

Tactical Tuesday: No Support, No Surrender

By Glenn Bane

Alright, boots on the ground time, boys and girls. You want in on the Long Range Recon Commandos? Well, grab your favorite battle scar and listen up, because this ain’t the glamor unit your recruiters pitch to fresh-faced cadets.

Tactical Tuesday: Operation Sea Shadow

By Glenn Bane

Alright, team, listen up—this isn’t one of those feel-good, wave-the-flag kind of missions. Out there in the Gulf of Atithia, the water’s not calm and neither are the people.

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.
