Reflections on Mythic Con™

Conventions like this are always a whirlwind of excitement, creativity, and connection, and Mythic Con was no exception.

Tactical Tuesdays: HPS River Warden

“In the vast expanse of space, not every ship needs to be a massive dreadnought or a sleek fighter. Sometimes, the most effective vessel is one that’s small, versatile, and built for the nitty-gritty work of patrolling the trade lanes and backwater systems. Enter the River Warden-Class Starship: a starship inspired by the humble river patrol boat, designed for pulp-sci-fi adventures where grit and ingenuity triumph over brute force.”

Mazes & Mondays: Earthwork Engineering

…the Turtle Shell Fortress stands as a testament to ingenuity over extravagance. These fortresses aren’t grand citadels or towering keeps—they’re practical, efficient, and built to endure. They’re the underdog of fortifications, and in your TTRPG, they can be so much more than just a backdrop for battle.

Frights & Fables: A Terror Tale

After a month of dissecting horror cinema for my 13 Days of Halloween review series, I’m back at the gaming table—and I’ve brought something wicked with me.

And if you’re running a sci-fi campaign, it’s the perfect way to bring some high-stakes tension to your table.

The Galloglaich Kern: Martial by Mandate

The Galloglaich Kern is not a hero. It is not a villain. It is a persona: a living contour of reckless utility, forged in servitude and tempered by desperation.

31 Days of Halloween: Three-Witches Glee

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

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

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.
