Hello Internet Patrons!

While I'd hoped to have finished this yesterday, a small technical glitch (user error) caused a delay. I figure it's been far, far too long since I posted a War Story video. So here's the story of the best campaign I ever ran, along with the time the players decided to race their skateboards through a Night City mall, and why tossing bonsai trees is probably a bad idea.

Hope to get subtitles done on it tomorrow then post it live to the masses Friday. But you can check it out now. I hope you all enjoy my stroll down memory lane. Also, while I know people are going to ask for the resources I showed in the video, and I'm known for freely sharing my modified maps and handouts for specific adventures, this video isn't about an adventure that GMs can run themselves, so I'm sharing them here. Quality on most of it is lower resolution than I prefer, but I made all this stuff between 2009 and 2012 and it was a primitive time. Consider them more of fun thing to read through than a game resource.

In other news, I'll be heading out to Origins Game Fair next week up in Ohio. I'm doing a few panels, but mostly I'm there to meet fans and hopefully score some geeky T-shirts. If any of you are attending please swing by and say hi. Let me know if you are and I'll be sure to have something special for you.

Finally, I sold my Kult scenario 'All Inclusive' to Helmgast this week. After a couple rounds of revision requests, what started as a 10,000-word adventure has swollen to 18,700 words. I have no clue when or what form it'll eventually be released as. I've had projects take years between me turning in the final draft and it seeing publication, so... eventually. But once it does I can add that officially to my list of published scenarios.

Thank you everyone for your continued support.
