Out of the Abyss, Session 3 Our heroes continue their exploration of the abandoned mine. We discover a sinkhole plunging down to a lower level of the dungeon. Greyscale spots a wand discarded near the edge of the pit, but fails to notice the phase spider lurking in ambush. Kiri casts Mind...

Out of the Abyss, Session #2 We rejoin our heroes during their flight from the prison camp Velkynvelve. We don't know where we're going, only that we need to put as much distance between ourselves and the drow before they come after us. Stool telepathically communicates there is an exit to the...

Out of the Abyss, Session #1 GM (Alex) Elin Warmhand, Dwarf/Cleric 1 (Bane) Erasmus, Gnome/Wizard 1 (Tom) Greyscale, Kobold/Rogue 1 (Mike) Kiri Smoothpaw, Elf/Sorcerer 1 (Tony) Morloc, Human/Fighter 1 (Doug) Our heroes awaken in the dark. Not just any old dark. The Underdark. We have no idea...

Thank-you for the kind words. I forget the exact formula, but it was two parts Wolfenstein to one part Curse of Strahd and one part Resident Evil 4. I used the core SWADE book, and both the Fantasy & Horror Companions.

Thanks for reading! The campaign was a lot of fun to run, and reminded me why I love Savage Worlds. 😍 I enjoyed it so much, I immediately wrote a plot point for the sequel (which I should be running April 2026), and a spin-off set in Northern Africa with a different group of players (to start...

WOLFENSTRAHD Session 8 - The Finale! Last week; Taskforce M bust into Castle Ravenloft, warmed to Strahd's elderly manservant Pidwick, killed Strahd's three vampire wives (Tatiana, Natalia & Alina), and explosively redecorated Strahd's throne room with the Blast power. Strahd himself escaped...

The players for Vex & Cassius occasionally attempt discretion, but Victor & Guy are devastatingly blunt instruments. He did! He got off one good shot with the blunderbuss (hit Zombie Blade, but not enough damage to destroy), then the players disarmed him and made him sit down. 😂

WOLFENSTRAHD Session 7 Sometime after Taskforce M launch the assault on Castle Ravenloft, Cassius returns to Vallaki carrying the bullet-riddled corpse of Blade (KIA). The warehouse is dark, but Cassius' night-attuned eyes pick out a slumped figure tied to a chair, a burlap sack over their...

WOLFENSTRAHD Session 6 No Jack/Cassius this week. Mind-altering green gas drifts into the Hexworks through the ragged hole Vex blasted in the frontage. Some soldiers did not get their masks on quick enough, and flee in mindless fear from whatever their minds have conjured to terrorize their...

WOLFENSTRAHD Session 5 The surviving members of Taskforce M limp back to Vallaki to lick their wounds. The resistance have comandeered the Baron's manse as their new headquarters. Ireena Kolyana and Doc Donnavich are there, having been successfully extracted from Barovia Village. The monsters...

WOLFENSTRAHD Session 4 The monsters all pile into Vex's roadster and set out on their road trip to the Abbey of Saint Markovia, to sabotage the Nazi excavation beneath the monastery. VEX: "Buckle up everyone! Safety first!" DHRALL: "Pah! Seatbelts are for mortals." ( +1 benny for funny) The...

Fingers crossed! Been looking forward to Outgunned Super Heroes since the Kickstarter campaign ended.

WOLFENSTRAHD Session 3 (also known as Cassius' Very Bad Day) The monsters join Ismark and his resistance fighters in their hideout. Vex hands over the letter from Ireena. Ismark is not thrilled that his sister has returned to Barovia during a time of such tumoil, but is grateful to Taskforce M...

WOLFENSTRAHD Session 2 The monsters' first night in Barovia passes uneventfully, but no-one gets much sleep - least of all the injured diabolist Dhrall Blood-Drinker, who moans fitfully on Ireena's couch. The stump of his severed arm hurts like a sonovabitch. Peeking through the curtains onto...
