I Wrote a Things

This is a collection of monsters for Stay Frosty , an old-school-ish game where you play space marines straight out of Aliens or Starship Troopers that I really like. Re-reading some of the other things I've posted here I've found them a bit wordy and writing in the style of Stay Frosty is a good cure for wordiness. Everything is shaved down to the bare essentials to the point that usually there's not even descriptions for monsters, just a name and rules; After all everyone already knows what zombies and demons are and if anything isn't parsed immediately evocative rules can speak for themselves. Now before this introduction becomes to wordy I'll give you the link, I hope you enjoy it and find it helpful! Stay Frosty Monster Expansion

In the last session of my urban-fantasy Scarlet Heroes game the player characters introduced several NPC’s to the supernatural for the first time and I realized I was ill-equipped to play that out. Introducing a character to the paranormal can be a really cool scene and it can lead to some compelling consequences and challenges, but it’s also hard to do on the fly. Part of the intrigue inherent to pulling back the curtain, so to speak, is that different people will react in very different ways. This makes for a diverse range of possible consequences as well as a way to reveal more about a character through their actions. However, this diversity also makes it hard to discern reactions on the fly, especially for characters that have just recently been introduced. Characters having to explain things on the fly to an innocent bystander endangered by the monster they’re hunting is really cool, but thinking up how the bystander reacts to this information off the top of your head is really d...

Recently I've been running and enjoying a lot of  Scarlet Heroes  by Kevin Crawford. The game is built specifically for one GM one PC games, specifically OSR style fantasy gaming. However I've found it also works with 2 PCs better than any other game I've tried and I've had a ton of fun running modern espionage games with it. In fact the games focus on a single Hyper-Competent PC makes it a natural fit for emulating spy fiction. In which focusing on a single protagonist is not only cool as hell but also emphasizes the questions of trust and loyalty that are explored within. Therefore I'd like to provide you with the tools I've created to run modern, and especially espionage, games using Scarlet Heroes. To start with we're discussing a staple of modern action fiction: guns. These rules for Firearms evoke action movie gunfights. Ammo runs out quickly forcing characters to get creative and actions evoking classic tropes like dual wielding pistols and rushing ...

Stay Frosty  is smart, fun and cool game about space marines straight out of 80's movies and 90's first person shooters made by (full disclosure my personal friend) Casey Garske. A while ago I made a short expansion to the game, adding new MOS's and more gear to the game, so now I'm posting it here. Stay Frosty 1 Page Expansion
