I’m considering publishing another scenario bundle for When the End Comes (my supernatural slasher horror TTRPG, based on the Breathless SRD). In the first bundle, I have scenarios in a haunted house, in an abandonned hospital and at a summer camp in the 80s. Where should I set the new scenarios?

I haven't been posting recently, because there's a lot going on in my life atm. I quit my day job to do freelance work and to take some time to figure out what my next step is going to be: game design, writing, theater, podcasts, I don't know yet. Scary? Yes. Exciting? Also yes.

I’m running a #VampiretheMasquerade session during RINCON, and I’m making the player characters now. It’s a Camarilla coterie, which includes a Ventrue, a Toreador, a Banu Haqim and a Gangrel. I want to add a Tremere and a Nosferatu. Fun character concepts anyone?

They helped me understand the NPCs in our #Vampirethemasquerade #ttrpg chronicle much better. We'll continue telling their stories at our table, and on paper.

day 28 - "Don’t adventures ever have an end? I suppose not. Someone else always has to carry on the story." (this is just a sweet gesture from a loving husband to his wife, right? Reuniting mother and daughter after all this time? Embracing her into the family?)

I've mostly written background stories for NPCs in our #Vampirethemasquerade Amsterdam by Night chronicle.
I'll share the last of the stories in the upcoming days. The start of AbN setting guide maybe?

Did you know that... In 1948, women in Illinois, USA, used Leap Day to take over traditionally male jobs in politics and emergency services. Maybe that was what the youngsters in 'Leap of Faith' were aiming for? A new Vaesen mystery coming on February 29.
