I'm currently developing game called A War of a Madman's Making (AWOAMM): A combination of Visual Novel and text-based RPG centered around war planning and political survival, inspired by games like Suzerain and Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa. The game is set in a fictional world - an apocalyptic analogue of the Soviet Union in the 1990s. … Continue reading A War of a Madman’s Making – Announcement
“You Owe Me for This”
As always, he had that everlasting grin on his face. It was a sick façade that showed nothing and hid everything. He would pass it on to his son just as his father had given to him. Only elements time cannot wear were made before that smile.
Chain Reaction: Martial Arts
I recently watched the Jackie Chan movie Police Story and was inspired to create a fast and simple set of Martial Arts Film style rules for Chain Reaction. The Kung Fu Action system is a mish-mash of the regular Action Table and the Fist Fight system from Star Marine. Combat is focused around fist fights … Continue reading Chain Reaction: Martial Arts
Al Infierno
Part One Early in the morning the little city slept. My car roared through dimly lit suburban roads, gliding around corners and blowing past stop signs. A lopsided grin twisted my face as sweat rolled down my cheeks. The only worry on my mind was that my car might spin out and roll if I … Continue reading Al Infierno
The Emperor of Hawks and Snakes
(He Said Nothing) One:Gray The gargantuan hotel wasn’t quite as exquisite as the online reviews had bragged. Anthony and Charlotte were disappointed when they took a tour of the bottom floor led by the gentleman attendant. Each hall and room looked exactly the same with their gold-striped sallow walls, identical silver chandeliers, and black-and-white portraits … Continue reading The Emperor of Hawks and Snakes

Tabletop Rules 2 Go
When played head-to-head, Two Hour Wargames are best played on the Tabletop with full terrain rules. Here's a quick cheat sheet that has all the terrain and movement rules in a setting-agnostic format. These rules can be used for any of the gunpowder-based games (Chain Reaction, All Things Zombie, 5150, etc.) but lack setting-specific flavor … Continue reading Tabletop Rules 2 Go

Chester’s First Day on the Job
Today's story centers around a 20-year-old Star Marine named Chester Chase. He's just finished basic training and deployed on his first assignment: An invasion campaign of a desert world owned by the Bugs. Seems simple enough, right? Well, let's just say Chester's first day on the job doesn't as smoothly as hoped. This game was … Continue reading Chester’s First Day on the Job
Chain Reaction – Rules 2 Go
The games I play on this blog are based on the Two Hour Wargames system. I made a "cheat sheet" to use as a handy reference of the basic mechanics and tables for the free ruleset, Chain Reaction. Chain Reaction is basically just a teaser to the THW system, but with a little creativity, it's … Continue reading Chain Reaction – Rules 2 Go
