Thank god for cannon fire! (3/28/2026)

00s games, actual play, The Shadow of Yesterday

The nervous silence was broken by cannon fire. The Raven's Ghost had caught the Doomed Bloodback in the night and might have sunk the great galleon if not for the bravery of our heroes...who found themselves adrift at sea, between three ships that were all at war.

Into the Barrowmaze (3/21/2026)

actual play, barrowmaze, Labyrinth Lord

Local villagers whisper of a mysterious place deep in the marsh - a place shrouded in mist and dotted with barrow mounds, ruined columns, and standing stones. The tomb-robbers who explore beneath the mounds - or rather the few who return - tell tales of labyrinthine passages, magnificent grave goods, and terrifying creatures waiting in the dark. Are you brave (or foolish) enough to enter the Barrowmaze?

Recursive Transit (2/25/2026)

We feel the sway of the train. Lights flash across the windows. This is the express. It's a 20 minute ride with no stops till we get out of the city and get home. We'll pass Warren Station, then Grant Station, then get to the end.

First day as Director (2/18/2026)

actual play, liminal horror, streaming

A day that started with calling the families of Bureau agents who died inside the monolith, and then a string of meetings that left Judith wondering if she was really the person for this job.
