Tidying up an old harddrive drive tonight, and I discovered a Con-style scenario wrote for this grand, old game. I had long thought the draft had been lost to the digital gods, and happy to rediscover it! A good candidate for a future issue of Unbound Magazine, maybe?

Undecided what to work on next, and happy to hear thoughts from the 'voices in the ether'... is it time to get back to a couple Esoterrorist scenario drafts or should I focus on my Call of Cthulhu Dark Ages adventures?

Been in a writing funk for a while, so decided to challenge myself to produce a publishable supplement for @darrindrader.bsky.social's great Reign of Discordia RPG in less than a week. Almost there... a bit of an edit and an image or two (commission years ago) and it is going out the door for $1

Some good news: support for #OpenQuest on Virtual Tabletop via Role (playrole.com) is about to go live in the next couple of days. I've decided, for a number of reasons, that it will be free!

On my current Planetary Romance/Science Fantasy kick, I rewatched 'John Carter' tonight. Still believe it is really under rated (even if it did have some story elements that seemed out of place)... okay so it ain't Princess of Mars, but it is a real good modern re-envisioning!

Goes to show how much unfinished writing I have floating around on my hard drives, as today I found a mostly completed text for an Edgar Rice Burroughs meets Jules Verne style RPG. That 10k plus words I had forgotten I've even written from back in 2007/8.
Maybe I just finish up and and publish it?

This makes me sad, in more ways than one - lestersmith.com/2025/04/dc-i.... Not sure who has purchased the Dark Conspiracy licence, but given its recent history (the massive failed Crowdfunding) I can help but think of the IP as a bit of a poisoned chalice.
