[Trail of Cthulhu] L.A. Diabolical

The L.A. Writers' Club is back! It's been two years since the events of the Big Hoodoo, and Bob Heinlein has gone missing. What strange and depraved events await our intrepid investigators amidst the jaded glitterati of 1950's Hollywood?

[Night Witches] 1942

The ladies of the 588th get their baptism of fire as war rages all around them. Blood is shed, planes are shot down, passions are inflamed, and many a double-entendre is dropped.

[Nightlife: Neon Masquerade] "Welcome to the Jungle" (Episode One/Prelude)

In this, the first of the Esoteric Order's semi-regular "Duet" series, David L. and Desiree sit down for a game of Vampire: the Masquerade. Follow the Prelude of poor, doomed Aaron Evans, aspiring actor and soon-to-be bloodsucker, as he gives up the life of a Kansas farmboy for the bright lights of the big city.

[Night Witches] Training

We kick off our group's "winter phase" of one-shots and mini-campaigns with Jason Morningstar's Night Witches. This Powered by the Apocalypse game follows the lives of the brave women who flew in the Red Army Air Force's 588th Night Bomber Regiment during World War II. There is no set Game Master (that duty can rotate between or even during sessions), but for this introductory scenario, the usual suspect took the GM's helm.
