Role Playing Journals

Recommended Posts

January 1603. Still investigating the seemingly unconnected deaths of playwright John Croft and a young girl visiting London from Amsterdam, the investigators have uncovered clues leading to a plot to murder William Shakespeare as well as connections between the two earlier deaths. Can they protect Shakespeare? How are the deaths connected with the fragments of a play by Christopher Marlowe called "The King in Yellowe" and Hastur? What is Dr. John Dee's connection? Who is Joseph Barker?

 

On June 5, I ran the conclusion of the scenario "The King of Shreds and Patches" with my group.

 

The roleplaying journal for the session is here:

Several strangers find themselves the prisoners of orcs, forced to work as slaves to uncover something the orcs are after in an ancient, buried temple.  Can the adventurers work together to gain their freedom or will they die in the Scar?

 

On June 26, I started a new Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition campaign.  The first scenario is The Scar.

In April 1667, the pirate frigate Sweet Vengeance set sail in search of a supposed Spanish treasure ship leaving Porto Bello.  What they found instead was a lost island and a terrible ruined city.  Would the officers and crew of the ship survive seeking Forbidden Cargo?

 

On July 10, I ran an original pirate scenario Forbidden Cargo.

The zombie apocalypse game entitled "Deadworld" continues with the seventh session.

 

Two groups of survivors, all following Skadooter's roadside messages, find each other and make their way through the wilds of North Carolina, heading for the beach.  A small group of survivors in the town of Wickwold say they are "protected" from the undead.  Will our survivors find out how - or just continue on their way?

With the start of a new semester, we return to the 1920s Call of Cthulhu campaign, this time with The Strange Case of the Brown Mountain Lights from the monograph The Phantom of Wilson Creek by yours truly.  A visit to Brown Mountain Beach in the mountains of North Carolina sees a child missing.  Can our intrepid investigators help find the child?  What else will they find on Brown Mountain?

When a psychologist from Dexter Asylum asks for help with some strange automatic writing by one of his patients, several investigators decide they will brave a Nightmare in the Moonlight.

 

On November 13, I ran the original Call of Cthulhu scenario "Nightmare in the Moonlight" based on J. Chapman Miske's "The Thing in the Moonlight."  The game was part of the continuing Providence campaign set in 1927.

It's Christmas and the family is all going to visit Great Aunt Norma in Kingsport.  That doesn't make for a wonderful Christmas for six cousins between the ages of 11 and 13, but maybe Cousin Melba can still save this Christmas.

When a man is mauled, his arm ripped off, and a woman goes missing near the North Star Amusement Arcade and Pleasure Pier between Providence and Pawtucket, it proves of interest to those who investigate the strange.  The investigators get together to see if there is something going on at the carnival.

 

On January 22, 2017, I began Dark Carnival by David A. Hargrave from Curse of the Chthonians.  This was part of the regular campaign, taking place in May 1928.

Our intrepid investigators return to the North Star Amusement Arcade and Pleasure Pier to continue their investigation of two missing people and a mauled man, this time with reinforcements.  They learn only a little about the carnival, but see some strange things.

 

On Jan. 29, 2017, I ran the second session of Dark Carnival by David A. Hargrave from Curse of the Chthonians.  Part of the regular Providence Campaign, it took place in 1928.

Having failed to find more than strangeness at the North Star Amusement Arcade and Pleasure Pier, our intrepid investigators began to look through Swan Point Cemetery in the hopes it will lead them to the kidnapped child and woman.  They soon find more than they bargained for.

Once more into the breech!  After some planning, some of the investigators head back to the North Star Amusement Arcade and Pleasure Pier, determined to uncover the secrets of the place and put an end to the terrible things happening there.  What they find beneath the carnival, again, is not pleasant.

 

On February 12, 2017, I ran the fourth session of Dark Carnival by David A. Hargrave from Curse of the Chthonians as part of the regular Providence, R.I. campaign taking place in 1928.

With proof of the carnival's misdeeds, Providence Police could finally orchestrate a raid to remove the criminal elements of the place. Allied with the Providence County Sheriff's Department, Pawtucket Police, and the Rhode Island State Police, a daring raid was set for the early morning hours of the very next day.  Several of the investigators who had helped save the two kidnap victims were brought along to advise police, but a force of over 100 men was set to raid the carnival and bring it down.

 

On February 26, 2017, I ran the sixth and final session of Dark Carnival by David A. Hargrave from Curse of the Chthonians as part of the regular Providence, R.I. campaign taking place in 1928.  Each of the players rolled up an additional Providence Police Officer, Pawtucket Police Officer, and Providence County Sheriff's Deputy to use for the raid.

On June 23, 2017, a massive evacuation of the eastern seaboard of the United States created a great deal of havoc as some kind of toxic substance was released, allegedly by the Russians, that caused people to sicken and then die, then rise from the dead and try to kill and eat the living.  This is the story of how a few civilians in Boone, N.C., managed to escape that terrible day.

 

On March 5, 2017, my friend Kyle Matheson ran a modern day Basic Roleplaying System game for our regular Deadworld session.  He ran this as a one-shot but we may return to Kyle's Deadworld campaign in the future.

It's been about a month since the terrible events of the Dark Carnival in Providence, R.I., when Miss Edington gets a visit from a pharmacist trying to sell her a very strange bottle of red wine. 

 

On March 26, I ran a short scenario for my regular Call of Cthulhu group as part of my regular Providence campaign taking place in 1928.  This time it was Circle of Friends from the Minions book.
