Starblazer Adventures - Session Seven Summary

In this game we are playing Starblazer Adventures which uses the FATE rules system. I've not written up the previous sessions, but may do a overview of what has happened so far later on. Not 100% if this is session seven or not, but seems about right.

Call of Cthulhu - Session One Summary

Monday, 25th April 1921 

Around 9am Adam is awoken by his land lady knocking at his door. There is a call for him. The caller advises Adam that his sister is missing. The caller proceeds to tell Adam that he is Professor Edward Bremer from the Iowa State University in Ames. Professor Bremer and his wife are friends of Jenny and her husband. Jenny's husband has been away overseas on field work. The Bremers noticed Jenny was missing on the Saturday and contacted the Police. The Police after a brief investigation believe Jenny had eloped to either New York or California. Adam states that Jenny was always level headed and wouldn't do such a thing. The Professor agrees from having known her, hence why he's called to tell Adam of the situation. Adam gets the professor's details and heads back upstairs to his apartment.

Doctor Who mini review (no spoilers)

Just finished watching the first episode of the new series (series 5 or series 31 depending on how you count it) with the new Doctor, played by Matt Smith. Quite enjoyed it. Then again that tends to be the way with all the eps of Doctor Who and the various spin off shows. Only thing I didn't like was what they have done to the theme music. Could be because I've recently been listening to Delia Darbyshire's work. Maybe the theme will grow on me. Also thought the new companion was quite good.

Call of Cthulhu - Session One Preperation

Note: This blog entry started off as going to be a summary of the first session. The more I wrote, the more it became about a continuation of the preparation for said session. As such I will blog about the actual first session in a different entry.

Call of Cthulhu - Dramatis personæ

Edit 14/04/2010: Added new char and updated other profiles

The following is an run down of the characters the Tuesday Knights players created & started playing last Tuesday (30th March). A regular player and a very infrequent player were not there that evening. Their characters will appear later.

Running Call of Cthulhu - Some Background

I'd been ruminating for a while on running a game for the Tuesday Knights group, to give Phill a chance to play & allow him to be able to focus a bit more on the Thursday night game he's currently running (Mundus Senecit: The World Grows Old). Phill tended to be the main GM for the Tuesday night game as well, with Scott recently (the last year) running some Conspiracy X scenarios on occasion.

In the Beginning...

This is the first post to set down what I am trying to achieve with this blog. That being -

  • Document my thoughts & session summaries of any RPGs I run
  • Perhaps do the same if I'm motivated enough(and have the time) to do the same for the sessions I play in. Not sure if I'll do it from my character's perspective or more of a third person. Possibly a combination.
  • If I'm still using this blog & have managed to pick myself up a netbook tablet, write up reviews of the movies I see at Melbourne International Film Festival.
  • Post about any other stuff I so feel inclined to write about.

I can add jump breaks to these posts. I wonder what the standard/recommended amount of text to have before doing so. Something to do a quick search on.
