TTRPG Treasure Chest

Tactical Tuesday: The Next Job

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.

Tactical Tuesday: Operation Iron Howl

By Glenn Bane

Alright, listen up, tough guys. You didn’t sign up for this job because it’s easy—you signed up because you know how to handle chaos with a cigarette in your mouth and a gun in your hand. Well, congrats; chaos just knocked.

Tactical Tuesday: Build it Loud, Build it Weird

By Glenn Bane

Alright, soldier, you want a vehicle that’s more than just some rusty old tin can on wheels? You want a ride that’s gonna turn heads, drop jaws, and maybe, just maybe, leave your enemies wondering what the hell just hit them? Then you’re in the right place. These ain’t factory fresh; they’re built, not born. Every bolt and every weld tells a story.

Tactical Tuesday: Meet Your Assets

By Glenn Bane

Alright, strap in, rookie. If you’re rolling with this crew, you better know your assets, inside and out. The team’s got the looks of chaos, but it’s all built on strategy, guts, and gear. Everything in your hands or at your back is what keeps you breathing after the lead starts flying, so you better appreciate it. These tables? They’ll build your squad, gear ‘em up, give ‘em wheels, and show you where and how they operate. Roll, adapt, and survive.

Tactical Tuesday: Join the Best…

By Glenn Bane

Alright, listen up. You don’t call yourself a merc without backing it up. If you’re here, you’re looking for something tougher. Something sharper. You’re sniffing around for a shot at joining them. The mercenary outfit with the kind of reputation that wakes people up in a cold sweat. These guys aren’t your barroom brawlers or wannabe heroes—I’m talking the hardest, leanest pack of professional killers-for-hire you’ll find anywhere. If you don’t have what it takes, stop pretending and scram now, because this crew doesn’t babysit. They break you—or worse—and only the best damned soldiers come out the other end standing.

Tactical Tuesday: Know Your Enemy

By Glenn Bane

Alright, listen up, rookie. You’re running a military campaign, and your players just walked into the wrong stretch of nowhere. They’re not up against an orderly line of enemy troops, but the dirty underbelly of warfare—the shadows of the battlefield. Brigands, marauders, guerrillas, and raiders. They’re not the same breed, so don’t treat ‘em like they are. If you do, your TTRPG loses its edge, and worse, your players won’t respect the danger they bring. You’ve gotta know who they are, what they want, and how to use ‘em if you’re gonna make their lives hell.

Tactical Tuesday: Operation Ruinfall

By Glenn Bane

The story unfolds in the crumbling industrial underbelly of Tasrin City—a swampy, corrupt port town that sweats oil and smog. The squad has commandeered an old factory—what used to be a meat-packing plant during the good times.

Time to Rise and Grind!!

By Glenn Bane

Ladies and Gentlemen, the spectacle of Rumble City may have concluded, but who says the action has to stop? The legendary moments, the jaw-dropping moves, the unforgettable wrestlers—they’re all ready to step back into the spotlight.

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.
