Pulled out of a Dark Crevice



In this post, a one-line description of every game I've ever run that wasn't a pre-written module. I try to be exhaustive and go in reverse chronological order, but strict records have not been kept and memory is a harsh mistress. Bonus points if you can spot the games you played in.



1- Travel to, from a cabin in the woods where a horrible change has befallen a family (multishot, Myfarog 2.6)
2- Go to the US immigration office, kidnap a Japanese child, crash and burn (Everyone is John)
3- Black Metal band tries to murder each other while in Buenos Aires (unfinished, The Coming)
4- I try comedically to make an Ancient Mesopotamian railroad into a sandbox after four sessions (campaign still ongoing, might elaborate later, Myfarog 2.6)
5- Go gather intel, ye Germanic folk (unfinished)
6- Reverse capture the merchant all want to see dead (twoshot)
7- Go gather more intel, your town depends on it, ye Frisian-like folk
8- Dying epically's oodles more fun when you're playing an army division
9- Hello ladies, we're Alpha Blue plumbers (self-explanatory)
10- Get horrifically mutated then do Downward Dog (Alpha Blue)
11- There's a meeting we want you to spy on (Myfarog 2.6)
12- Your city be occupied? Go rob a grave
13- What's that Pharaoh building in there?
14- Initiated in child-burning cult
15- What to do in SF when your RPG book by a Known Racist author is lost in the mail? (The Coming)
16- I make up a D100 system so guy can get eaten by lions (Don't Sleep! There are Snakes)
17- Join a caravan guard, they said; surely won't get disemboweled, they said (threeshot, Dark Sun LotFP)
18- Draj arena fighting is much like pro-wrestling
19- What do you mean my iron-bleeding trees are not real?
20- The masters are dead, all the water is gone - you see, I don't like sand
21- A small Cornish town with no pirates, no sir (LotFP)
22- Rob an old man in Antwerp, but something goes bump in the night
23- When your spaceship goes down, you go party (Alpha Blue)
24- Frank Chu wouldn't mind a bit of competition (The Outer Presence)
25- Rob an Amsterdam church? Sign me up! (LotFP)
26- Five Mayans attempt to subvert a four-century cycle (EotPT)
27- The Illiad, but something odd's happening inside that forest (LotFP in Homeric Greece)
28- Other Mayans go try to steal fire from blood-hungry priests (EotPT)
29- Mark Twain dupes two rubes into going back in time (The Coming)
30- The spaceship's still fucked - you attend one big menstruation party (twoshot, Alpha Blue)
31- When the Sorcerer-King's out, Templars are playing tag (Dark Sun LotFP)
32- Two horses, a bear and a guy who can't hear (Myfarog 2.6)
32- We were almost murdered by shadows and all I got was this lousy magic ring (twoshot)
33- Would you like to join a band of merry men?
34- To find the magic flute, you may have to get drunk off your ass


Many of these can be found on my channel.

  1. 24 (well, part one anyway) and 25 (take 2 - IIRC it was the second time you'd run that...?) Also, your recent playtest of the gallery heist (unless I'm being obtuse and missing the abstract from the above list).

    1. The gallery heist would be 22. That game of The Outer Presence is actually the module that comes with the rulebook and as such missing from the list; the one listed here is an unlisted game that centered around crackpost conspiracy theories and the people who love them. Was good fun - and terribly politically incorrect.
