League of Losers #3: 2 Out of 3 Ain't Bad!

Maybe Wizkids should make some Meatloaf Heroclix? I managed to get a win, a loss, and a tie (which I won in a role-off). This was my Avengers theme team: Build 100 AAOU102 Captain America 90 AVAS013B 3-D Man 58 AVAS037 Manifold 60 AOU036 Jewel 50 ADW024 Vision 100 WI105 Thor 30 ADW007 Black Panther 100 TMT106 Hulk 10 TMTS001 Bloodaxe 598 Things I forgot in today’s game: 3-D Man and his 3-D…

Heroclix: League Of Losers #2 Loki, Loki, Loki

With this article I wanted to focus on a character that I’ve never used in a Heroclix game; Loki, the God of Mischief! The first ever Loki appeared in Mutant Mayhem (Why?) and was a tank with a glass jaw. 096 Loki had great attack stats but no damage reducers and very low defense. With the Doom team ability I believe he was meant to be surrounded with cannon fodder until he could position…

Heroclix: League of Losers #1

Welcome to my new blog posts on Heroclix! Let’s get right to it! Every time a new Meta piece comes out you can tell how tough/cheap it is going to be by how fast the price skyrockets. Some figures stay expensive even after they are retired because they are a good character with good stats. Then there are others that just get wildly inflated. Lockjaw is the most recent Meta piece to tear up the…

Curse of Strahd - Episode 5

Due to the funeral last week, I didn’t get a chance to post the latest adventure and I don’t really recall much of it, so I will just quickly summarize. Only three members of the group could make it this week; Bonk the Cleric, Guunt the Barbarian and Ombra the Tabaxi Monk. First they visited Rictavio in his tower, where he gave them some guidance on deciphering the cards from Madame Eva.…

Curse of Strahd - Episode 4

I did not post last week’s game because we had a tragic death in our family and I was not really up for it. I still went and DM’ed my group, mainly because I was in shock over our loss and wanted to keep to our regular routines as much as possible. The game must go on, right? The previous week, Guunt had turned himself into the Vallaki guards for the murder of Izek Strazni. He was crucified in…

Curse of Strahd - Episode 3

I began this session by killing one of the characters. As I mentioned back at the beginning of the campaign, this is an experienced party of players. I’ve had to give the bad guys maximum hit points and full damage just to make them a threat to this group. The session began with a random encounter during the night with a group of Berzerkers. I figured one Berserker per player would be a hard…

Curse of Strahd - Episode 2

What a crazy session this turned out to be. For most of the week I tried to figure out how to make their first encounter with Strahd a memorable one. What monsters could I throw at them that would be a challenge? At first I thought of having Strahd challenge them to a fist fight, teaching the players humility with his own hands. A bare knuckle fist fight, surrounded by Vistani, it would have been…

Curse of Strahd - Episode 1

Adventurers League Rules My AL group had their first visit to Barovia on Wednesday. SPOILERS!!!   A lot of them are seasoned players, but for some reason they never actually played that hardcover. Their only experience was the AL adventures tied into season 4. One character had previously visited Barovia, died by a ghost and come back as blind, so he informed the group about the laws of the land.…

New Campaign: The Rise of Count Orlok

So I am planning on starting the first non-AL campaign at our local game shop. I am planning on running CoS, but as a homebrew campaign called The Rise of Count Orlok. The basis of the campaign is this: A rival vampire Count Orlok, lord of a land known as Wisborg, is challenging Strahd’s domain. The players will be forced/hired by Strahd to invade his enemies lands and defeat his seven Lords of…

Warlock Pact: Pact of the Wolf

Your patron is the spirit of the wolf, embodied by such beings Fenrir, the wolf of Norse mythology. Many cultures throughout history have worshipped and respected the wolf and other canines. At first the wolf embodies loneliness and those who empowered by the wolf spirit must learn to survive on their own. Later, as the wolf’s power grows, the loner becomes a pack leader, able to help and protect…

The Darkness Pitch

This is the last comic script I wrote, which was a proposal for a new take on the Darkness. The idea was to write the book as a horror series, more like American Horror Story, where there was no clear hero or villain, just an unstoppable evil that would try to ruin the lives of everyone it encountered. I finished writing this just as Stranger Things came out, and there were some close…
