The GLOW 1992: Side Story, Berg & Erzse

Berg and Erzse are part of the Ancient Terranauts. A week before the events of Johnny Blue vs the Kid, they are tasked to carry out an interruption on the firework show at Gaston. Only there are wheels within wheels. Maria Salas, aka "Madame Sinister," has a mission for them. All three are moving to what feels like certain doom.

The Bleak + The Pearl, Intermission 8b: Building a Sidequest

I'm going to use some of my more recent materials — by Philip Reed — to try and come up with a fun little adventure. Mostly by tossing a LOT of things at a wall and see what I feel like scraping off.

The Bleak + The Pearl, Intermission 8a: Leveling Up (again)

The first part of a two part intermission setting up the next steps for Gryffin's "Lighthouse 6" [which is currently 7]. Building up Bernark into a level 1 character followed by leveling up the rest of the party.

The Bleak and The Pearl, Part 26: Facing Tough Choices.

Gryffin must lead his team to confront a group of Nords who have stolen the mantle. However, doing so will almost definitely lead to bloodshed. Is he willing to fight others for this prize? Is he willing to risk the safety of his followers?

The GLOW 1992: Agent Johnny Blue vs The Kid, Part 5 - The Kid by Moonlight

As Billy and Upton's group realize that Lanette is missing, they receive an unexpected knock on the door. Elsewhere, Johnny and Lanette need to find safety. Only the Kid is not yet done playing games. Both groups are starting to figure out the enormity of their respective tasks, but neither side is backing down.

The GLOW 1992: Agent Johnny Blue vs The Kid, Part 4 - Celebrations [Tricubes] [Mythic] [Dixit]

Johnny has escaped the cultists, for now, and follows a cryptic message about "Hamburger Helper" to meeting up with Tanya Green. The two are going to the Fourth of July celebrations. Only they are not alone. Lanette is also at the park. As is a eco-terrorist group. And Upton Reece's family. And a strange pale creature who is seeming to take an interest in Johnny's actions.

The GLOW 1992: Agent Johnny Blue vs The Kid Intermission 1 - Switching to Mythic with a Few "Extra" Lists + Adding Dixit

The time has come to move "Agent Johnny Blue vs The Kid" to an actual play series and to help make that happen, the shift to using Mythic has started. I talk about some starting threads and characters, and also about using various features lists in different ways. I also introduce Dixit (using the expansion, Mirrors) to the campaign and to the blog.

The Bleak and The Pearl, Part 25. Hungry Trolls and Sea Nymphs [ShadowDark] [SoloDark]

In this session, our heroes confront a hungry troll just looking for food and a trio of sea nymphs who just might be interested in something very nearly like revenge. Also featured are large piles of trash and lots of walking. As you do.

A classic painting of food, gone awry.

The Bleak and The Pearl, Part 24. Feasting on Darkness [ShadowDark] [SoloDark]

Gryffin leads his team back into the sea caverns to continue the search but things almost immediately go wrong once a room with a strange curse enthralls one of the members.

The GLOW 1996: Psychic Eustace Delmont - Debrief and Final Thoughts

Sorting all my thoughts about the highs, lows, and could-have-beens about The GLOW's second campaign arc: Psychic Eustace Delmont.
