I come all the way from the Land of Lincoln. When I'm not busy GMing, co-hosting, recording, editing, or publishing for the Drunk and the Ugly or our AP Site, I prefer to practice guitar, watch TV, or read. My greatest achievement: hugging Conan O'Brien. My Game of Choice? Monsters and Other Childish Things

Skype Road Trip Session 2 – Sunny Vale Part 1

by  • 

School’s out for kids at Casimir Polaski Junior High in the city of San Frandiago, CA.  In a previous session of outright madness and poor recording quality, the kids stumbled onto the plot of an evil cult to banish all monsters to the Underworld as tribute for some kind of Ultimate Monster.  During their research, the kids stumbled across five bizarre and unique postcards relating to various machinations of the cult.

When presented all of their options, the kids decide to take a little trip to Sunny Vale, CA to meet the Sentai Rangers.  Hilarity ensues?

Thanks again to Sean for the artwork.

Skype Road Trip Session 1 – Ed’s Diner Redux

by  • 

Buttz the BattleFrogA few weeks ago, I asked Sean and Alex if they wanted to playtest a few side adventures I had written for a Road Trip campaign I had been running.  Sean’s friend Nate (from Sordid Dystopia) also joined us.

Because of my failure during its run with my main group, I decided I would run Ed’s Diner for these guys to see what exactly went wrong with the session.  It turns out that apparently, there was much wrong.  When all was said and done, however, we wanted to make this into a full campaign.

Come along for the ride through various pop-culture references and the beginning of BattlePet Network, an inside joke that will live on in future games forevermore.  Thanks to Sean for the artwork.

Road Trip Session 2 – Ed’s Diner

by  • 

Following their victory at Sucrose Park, wherein Coolrat was melted and the park destroyed, the kids stay at a Super 8 for the night to be visited by a mysterious (and perhaps Slender) man.  In the madness, Jack managed to slip the kids a new Postcard.

As the kids headed towards their next destination, Caroline notices that she needs to fill up.  Across the street from the gas station is a quaint roadside diner.  Maybe it would be a good idea to stop in there for lunch. . .

Sucrose Park Finale

by  • 

Two weeks ago, I ran Sucrose Park for a couple friends in Chicago.  Due to a sudden and unexpected time constraint, we had to turn this into a two-session game.  I didn’t have my recording equipment (pronounced “webcam”), but it was pretty sweet, so I brought my mic to record the final session.

This session includes the Brain Trust Dungeon Crawl and Robbie Drake, both of which were not seen in RPPR’s playtest.  I believe the entire scenario played for around 6 or 7 hours across both sessions.
