2026 All Hallows Jam: Blind or Crippled, Sharp or Dull

Borges

 

A failed superhero team from the golden age of The New Inquisition is invited to one last dance in the red rain by their old rivals. Stop their terrorist attack, cover it up, or just survive.

Monsters & Test Drive: The Stone Head

The Marble Cliffs above the sweltering Rubberlands are no natural formation, but an ancient battlefield scarred by a mass petrification weapon. Quarrymen and miners and orchardists cutting terraces for alligator pears unearth things from past ages who resisted stoning. The disaster at Tontes sent half the cliffs tumbling down the cataracts and exposed The Head.

Unknown Armies: Pregens Again

 

A third batch of pregen cabals for Unknown Armies 3e.

 

The Punishing Rangers, a failed superhero team created by The New Inquisition back in the good old days. Unable to quit the costumed life, no matter how bad they are at it or how bad it is for them.

 

I don't need tricks to kill, a well-armed cabal of maladjusted murder machines. If your scenario requires serious firepower, or especially if it doesn't, unleash these guys on it.

 

Body Paragraph, a PREGENERATED CABAL of Anagram Gematriasts on the ANAL DREG CREEP BEAT, ready to lay A PERT GRENADE CABLE and PEG A NERD, BE A CARTEL. 

Unkown Armies Unnatural Entity: New Cop

STOP, OR I’LL SH-

It fired before it finished the sentence. The muzzle flash lit it up. Blue and featureless and shiny. It fired again and anything it said after that was swallowed by the gunshot in the confined space. 

His Majesty The Worm: Day of the Newts Masterpost

 

A traveling magic show. A kidnapped actor. Webbed footprints leading into a cave. Churning lava. Sadistic salamanders. A fresh spin on the dungeon crawling genre. All this and more in Day of the Newts

 

Gencon 2026 Recap: Board and Card Games

 

I rarely play card or board games but I played a little of both at Gencon at the behest of friends who brought them. Here's what I thought of both.

 

Delta Green: The Tenth Region of the Night

 

A cornfield drowning in heat haze. A shotgun exploding in the dark. Seasonal flooding and the buttered metal reek of synthetic opioids. Lapping water in a place where light cannot exist. 

 

Gencon 2026 Recap: Pickup Games

 

I ran two pickup games at Gencon with my friends and played a couple games. My friends wanted to play His Majesty The Worm so I brought some spare character sheets to the convention and ran them through the same scenario from the ticketed event. Later we painted some Delta Green Agents using a Wargames Atlantic sprue I brought to the con, and I ran them through a Delta Green adventure at the airport.

 

Gencon 2026 Recap: Scheduled Games

Special thanks to the free painting table and to my friends for painting with me
 

I ran two ticketed events at Gencon 2026. All the players did a great job and we finished both sessions early, a little over two hours in a three hour slot.

 

Appendix N 2026 Bonus Dungeon: Hung Over and Harassed

 

In His Majesty The Worm there are a lot of city events that, if taken seriously, would be an entire adventure in themselves. The book chides the reader not to play out these adventures because it could turn the campaign into a “town game”.

Guess what we’re doing today?

Appendix N 2026 Bonus Adventure: Mines of Magog

 

A Work Relief Archaeology dig at an American Indian mound unearths a “red sarcophagus”. It disappears in the night along with several excavators, most likely looted.

A “bald cougar” attacks Civilian Conservation Corps workers, who chase the beast off with thrown rocks. The bite is unlike any the camp doctor has ever seen, like the man was stabbed with a sword.

A rancher wakes up one night to a group of men stealing his sheep. The confrontation turns violent and he shoots one, chasing the rest off. The body is an ape-man.

A teen boy tires of neverending agricultural hardship and hunger. He tells his sister he’s going to meet the yellow woman he saw in his dreams and runs away from home.

It all leads to one place:

THE MINES OF MAGOG

Into The Odd: Clerics of the Carmine Dawn

 

The Brilg and Spowegg expedition to Hogman's Plain was going great. The desert was lethally hot by day and infested with undead by night, but the gunboat cared not for either as it motored up the River Hog. When the sun rose over the mountains and stayed trapped there for sixteen hours, bathing the desert in perpetual dawn light, Captain Yarrow of the Rent Seeker wasn't fazed. He sent four of his handpicked explorers ashore to investigate the tower on the horizon, in case there was some connection to the otherworldly weather.

• Dimitri the Aleman and his Mule
• Skar Disanto, Disgraced Detective
• Cassie "Castle", Ax Woman
• Barb the Barbarian, from the lands outside Bastion

It was a bit of a hike to the tower. The sun didn't go anywhere. 

 

Appendix N 2026 Dungeon: Clerics of the Carmine Dawn

The Clerics of the Carmine Dawn have tidally locked the planet. The sunlit side will boil. The nightside will freeze. Only a band of twilight will remain habitable unless a scratch team of heroes can infiltrate the Clerics’ Tower.
