Cinematic Zombie Movie RPG
In Outlive Outdead, you play a human fighting against the zombie apocalypse — until that character dies. Then you join the GM in hunting down the other PCs.
I Worship My Congressman
What happens when you give a group of people, tortured by starvation and disease, plenty of food and medicine? They worship you, of course. In Triune, the Hegemony controls the weave–a combination of a replicator and the internet. If you are a citizen of the Hegemony, you can download things from thin air. While everyone
Welcome to Jerusalem, now go away
After a summer hiatus of playing games and drinking beer, we’re back to slowly working on Triune. We’re concentrating on the setting for now, trying to create an interesting place as well as planting as many adventure seeds as feasible. Which brings us to the term “Empty City”. This is an entire city where the
Welcome to the Noosphere
EN World Gameday Chicago has come and gone, and it was a resounding success–as usual. I played Shock: Social Science Fiction and it was a blast, but the most fun I had was playing my Lacuna mod. Lacuna Pt. 1 is a fantastic game, but I wasn’t energized by the setting. So, like any upstanding
New RPG in the works?
I’m a big fan of EN World Gameday, especially because my local version is held at the world’s greatest game store, Games Plus in Mt. Prospect, Illinois. I always run a game or two. This year, I wanted to try some games I’ve never played before, so I agreed to run Shock and Lacuna, Pt. 1.

Chung, without the Wang
We’ve finished up the prayers for Chungism, the only religion we sort of made up. Sort of. When looking at the largest religions in the world today, “Traditional Chinese” always makes an appearance. (Unless you’re a fundamentalist who sees any religion other than your own as a cult. And if you are, why are you
Level -2 Cleric?
What happens when you piss off a faith? You suffer. All characters in Triune have three classes: one for Heaven, one for Hell, and one for the Hegemony. As you play the game, you can level up in any of the three classes–it’s your choice. However, it comes with a price. If you gain experience
How’s your fitrah today?
Islam is a complicated faith, especially when you don’t practice it but want to comb it for super powers. In Triune, characters have kewl powerz called prayers that are tied to a specific faith. For example, a level 1 Muslim can select “Ghowras’ Lesson – Cause one character to drop a weapon.” It’s based on
Love at First Printing
I’m not afraid to say it: I love Lulu. Lulu.com is a print-on-demand (POD) service that works wonders for teeny tiny “Bit off more than we can hold in our mouth never mind chew” publishers like us. You type up your Next Big Thing, upload it to Lulu as a .doc or .pdf file, go
