It’s all or nothing in this single-session adventure.

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.

The Faculty Party

by  • 

The Miskatonic University English Department is holding their annual Halloween party, and you have been cordially invited. The English Dept party is unlike the kind of party found at the local speakeasy; their party is a series of dramatic readings covering some of the greatest authors of horror fiction. The party-goers meet in a smoke-filled room and debate the authors over snacks, coffee, English and Indian tea.

Conversations and smoke float through the air as the faculty and guests are having a good time, everyone except Prof. Janice Moor. Prof. Moor teaches French Romantic Lit and has been in a blue mood for several weeks now. Her friends and coworkers had hoped that the party would help cheer her up, but no amount of joy has succeeded in lifting her out of her dark depression. Everyone secretly wonders what is bothering her.

“Happy Birthday, Master!”

by  • 

Who are these people?  Why are they all maids?  Where did all of these Utah Raptors come from?  Where am I?  Where are my pants?

All these questions and more are not answered in this one-shot of Maid: The Role Playing Game I ran over Spring Break for a bunch of people.  Rusty GMing skills and pop-culture references abound!
