AdventureCo – Learning to Crawl

Scopique January 21, 2021

Last night we had a kind of “session 0”, since the previous week is what I’m calling “session -1”. This week the crew translated their online-generated characters into Roll20 character sheets but the output of the character generation site did a lot…

AdventureCo – Boldly Going

Scopique January 14, 2021

Last night we had our “session -1” to hash out a few pre-session 0 things. We hadn’t formally opted for a game system, for one. Call of Cthulhu was the initial front-runner (with a solid vote of 1, and a “sounds good”…

Once More Once More Once More Into The Breach – AdventureCo(tm) Reborn

Scopique January 4, 2021

AdventureCo(tm) Brand Adventuring Company is like Menudo — same name, whole new line up of people every time you blink. The name was originally coined for our Hoard of the Dragon Queen-slash-Rise of Tiamat campaign, and was then reapplied with a new…

Screw You, D&D – Map Making for Sci Fi RPGs

Scopique June 14, 2020

I had planned on writing up a post about my intro to World Anvil, the campaign manager that I decided to use since my last post, but I got smacked upside the head by a very familiar problem on my way to…

Campaigns, Worldbuilding, and Utilities

Scopique June 12, 2020

Pardon me for quoting myself, but last night I had some free time (I mean, over and above the free time I seem to have these days) so I sat down, stared at the wall, and thought about writing an RPG campaign.…
