Paranoia! Right. Where did we leave off? If you've not already read the first part of this write up, I suggest you do so now. Go on. I'll wait. Done? Cool. Our adventure continues as the troubleshooters board the tram. It's one of the new hover-capable ones, but it's currently set to run on the… Continue reading Paranoia One-Shot: Welcome to Alpha Complex (Part 2)

Paranoia One-Shot: Welcome to Alpha Complex (Part 1)
This week, I cracked open the second hand copy of the second edition of Paranoia that I picked up from Oxfam a few months back. What followed was an evening of slapstick comedy, general mistrust, outright betrayal and excessive bureaucracy. Paranoia sees a group of player living in a dystopian future not unlike that envisaged… Continue reading Paranoia One-Shot: Welcome to Alpha Complex (Part 1)
First Game of Dread
Last week, I ran a one-shot game of the horror RPG, Dread. Dread is a light system with very few rules, no stats and no dice. In place of dice, the game uses a Jenga tower for skill checks. Where a check would normally occur, the player instead draws a block from the tower and is considered successful… Continue reading First Game of Dread
The Dresden Files RPG: Session 6 (Finale)
The final session of our The Dresden Files Roleplaying Game campaign opened with a bit of regrouping. The kinetomancer was getting used to his new leg, which doubled as his staff, whilst the investigator returned from hospital following the unfortunate lightning incident. Following on from the destruction of the demon, the group decide to confront Victor,… Continue reading The Dresden Files RPG: Session 6 (Finale)
The Dresden Files RPG: Session 5
This week, we returned to our much-delayed Dresden Files Roleplaying Game campaign. Although the events of the session took place over a relatively short period of in-game time, our play was dense with action and full of laughter. Last time, we left off in the midst of a fight with a toad-like demon that was proving… Continue reading The Dresden Files RPG: Session 5
The Dresden Files RPG: Session 4
On Thursday, after taking a week off from the group, we had out fourth session of our The Dresden Files Roleplaying Game campaign. It started off well for the group, with their missing member being unceremoniously dumped outside their offices, having been abducted by a local drug gang as a warning. The group then held a… Continue reading The Dresden Files RPG: Session 4
The Dresden Files RPG: Session 3
The third session of our The Dresden Files Roleplaying Game campaign deviated slightly from my expectations. We continue to follow the rough events of the first novel, Storm Front: This Thursday's session started off where the last one left off, with our heroes tumbling through a collapsing floor... or did they? In the end, two players managed to… Continue reading The Dresden Files RPG: Session 3
The Dresden Files RPG: Session 2
Last Thursday, my RPG group had our second session with The Dresden Files Roleplaying Game. Whereas the first session (described in this post) consisted mainly of character creation, the second session had a lot more gameplay. The group continued their investigations into a gruesome murder which may or may not have been committed with magic,… Continue reading The Dresden Files RPG: Session 2
The Dresden Files RPG: Session 1
Last night, my group started their first session of The Dresden Files Roleplaying Game. This was my, and their, first time using the Fate system, and I think it went reasonably well. In this session, we created the characters that make up the investigative agence, Unspeakable Investigations Ltd. The group is made up of two Pure Mortals… Continue reading The Dresden Files RPG: Session 1
