Rolling 1d1980, Complimentary Adventure, and Cool Resources

Reminder: My current Kickstarter is live! If you like to sing while adventuring, or want to force your players to do so, The Jester's Court is for you!

1d1980

I’m already teasing out a draft of the next 1980s action-film-inspired adventure: PREDIETOR.

PREDIETOR should be on Kickstarter later this year, so if you’re looking for a summer-blockbuster-inspired-winter-holiday-gift (Holy Hyphens, Matban!), this might be the one for you. It’s going to be full of new monsters, random encounters, and a predatory creature to hunt your players: The Jager!

Beyond PREDIETOR, I’m putting together a list of other films and pop culture of the era (the 1980s were a good time for me AND my RPG addiction), and I’m inviting all of you to share your thoughts on which one I might do after PREDIETOR. And if you think I’m missing an obvious 1980s adventure (a d1980?!) let me know.

Up next: PREDIETOR
Other inspirations:
Total Recall
Krull
Labyrinth
Dark Crystal
The Muppets

OPERATION: Giant!

At DrivethruRPG I've dropped a 'pay what you like' adventure, suitable for ... anyone! OPERATION: GIANT!

Have you ever wished that board games made in the 1950s could be smashed together with your favorite RPG? Sure, we all have! And now, your wish has come true. In this first Bored Game Parody, enter a frolicking adventure to help Jack dispose of the dead giant in his yard, while also surgically reliving a classic board game. MAYBE the players will help Jack dispose of the dead giant in his yard. OR, they may clear out some magical creatures, free the giant from his slumber, and then realize that Jack is a wicked thief. OR, they figure out another way entirely to claim the magic beans, the charming harp, and the Golden Goose. A quick drop-in sidequest with lighthearted fun, amusing monsters and puzzles, and a scaling method that allows you to present medium to difficult challenges to any number of players of any level!

Let me know what you think, and if you'd like to see other Bored Games... Candyland? Chutes and Ladders? Connect Four?

Oh... I have some books...

If anyone is looking for an end of summer novel, maybe one of my books would satisfy. I've got a couple of novels for adults, and a brand new book that just dropped: The Sinister Secrets of the Fabulous Nothings, book 2 of the middle grade Sinister Secrets series. If you know someone who likes robots, pirates, mad scientists, and high seas adventures please check it out.
