Tactical Tuesday: Meet Your Assets
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.

Vermillion Pines, a forgotten town settled along the Appalachian foothills, groans under the weight of entropy. What was once a thriving mill town is now a hollowed-out corpse; cracked pavements and boarded-up houses stand testament to decades of hardship and decay. Nature has reclaimed much of the land, but an unsettling wrongness accompanies its encroachment.

Game Masters, we’ve all been there. You’re running late, the party is chomping at the bit, and your prep time has evaporated faster than free ale in a tavern. Don’t worry—chaos is your friend. And nothing screams “chaotic adventure” like a mischievous leprechaun on a rampage.
Read MoreFrights & Fables: Into the Heart of Madness
Horror, my friends, begins and ends with atmosphere. It is not merely the setting you traverse, but the weight that hangs over every roll and decision. Dim lantern light flickering on damp stone. The oppressive screech of distant, unseen predators. A whisper—barely audible, yet undeniably chilling—curling around the room as you boil your final ration of coffee.

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.
