Panels, Pulp & Geek Opera

The countdown has begun—I’m heading back to ConCarolinas in 2025! Reservations are made, panels submitted, and companion badges ordered.

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.

Mazes & Mondays: The Rumblefish

Behold The Rumblefish, a legendary galleon that prowls the fierce tides of Valkyrion—a haven for warriors, outcasts, and all those who live by the blade. Its towering masts and weathered hull speak of battles survived, plunder claimed, and lords defied. For those seeking the thrill of blood and gold, The Rumblefish is no mere ship. It is a floating fortress, a lawless sanctuary where honor and chaos mingle, and fortune favors the bold.

Frights & Fables: The Swarm Sovereign

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.

Tactical Tuesday: Join the Best…

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.

Frights & 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. This is the stage upon which pulp-horror comes alive.

Returning to Charlotte in Style

I’ve always believed there’s a certain poetry in revisiting the places that shaped you. For me, ConCarolinas in Charlotte was one of those places.

Tactical Tuesday: Know Your Enemy

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.

Mazes & Mondays: Building the World

Designing believable worlds is on my mind a lot lately, perhaps because I will be discussing world building in the upcoming ConCarolinas; perhaps because I am currently involved in some heavy, fantasy worldbuilding, adapting my original world of Sundrah into a new fantasy world that has grown out of the first., It doesn’t matter, what does is that the process is treated with the respect it deserves. With that dear sword bearers, I give you the following article which may help to simply the matter for you. Enjoy.
