Speaking of awesome books by Cemetery Dance: have you read their anthology “Monster Bones” which came out earlier this year? I’ve got a story in it, but that aside, it’s really a great collection.

Do you have enough horror in your summer? If not, maybe check out my summer-soaked, small town, lake monster horror novel “The Seething.”
Lots of folks who’ve read it seemed to have enjoyed it.
Get it in the usual places, or ask your friendly local bookstore to order a copy.

I’ve thought a lot about this over the past few years. I think the preponderance of high-priced “toys” for gaming can make it seem prohibitively expensive to get into the hobby.
I still remember the days of the crafting articles in WD, which was part of the appeal of the hobby for me.

A shelf full of books and boxed sets from the RuneQuest Roleplaying game series.

Hello, old friend. It’s been a while. Let’s get reacquainted…

Right, that. But I meant is there any official source showing where the episodes took place to inform a map? Or are you just using your best guesses?

It’s near San Jose.

😂
