Session Reports

  • The Session Report

    In a recent RTFM episode, Chris Bisette talked about how they wish there were more session reports. However, they aren’t the session reports I’m reading out there, which are usually narrativisations of play (the kind of reports we often write as records for our play groups themselves). They’re suggesting we talk about how the referee Continue reading

  • Hiss: Play Report #2

    Hiss is the zine-length adventure I wrote as a palate cleanser after finishing my gothic horror sandbox Bridewell. It’s a 30 page adventure, inspired by one of my favourite classic modules, Against the Cult of the Reptile God. Previous Play Report here. Ferdrek and Ursaline, played by Sandro of Fail Forward and Marcia of Traverse Fantasy, had made Continue reading

We’re playing in my own hack of Trophy Gold. There will be Bridewell spoilers, but if you’re a part of the playtest, you can definitely read this. Vero the Continue reading

  • Playtest Report – Bridewell Session 1

    I thought people may enjoy a Bridewell playtest report. I started my playtest campaign with Marcia and Sandro yesterday. We’re playing in a modified version of Trophy Gold, the rules of which I’ve posted bitwise here. There will be spoilers for the events in the session, and hence some for Bridewell, but no spoilers outside Continue reading
