Red’s Discount Ship Emporium (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I consider myself a bit of a Magpie, picking up pieces here and there from a number of systems. While working on trying to build out a more sci-fi/space opera style game I decided to pick up Scum and Villainy. While I think Forged in the Dark in general has a lot of interesting mechanical bits I like to loot here and there I have never fully gotten into it. Also I have never had a group or person willing to run it for me so, such is life.However, Scum and Villainy had an interesting aspect of it

Goldmesa: A Deadlands Mini Setting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have had a strange urge to delve into some Deadlands lately. It may have something to do with the amount of Johnny Cash that has been playing on my spotify, but who is to say. That and the recent article about quickly making a small map written by Odinson Games (which I did a practical on last week) gave me a jump start on making something for it.I guess I would call this a mini setting as it has several places for players to mix it up and l
