As one would expect, Hell isn't always the easiest place to live. Though much of it can end up being somewhat mundane, it is still the various levels of the abyss, after all. And, as one would expect, there's all sorts of power struggles happening. Hell is currently on the verge of another upheaval, and it's into the middle of this that you find your characters in A Cold Day in Hell, an adventure for 5th Edition that's up on Kickstarter now.
Four Ways to Die in the Future isn't just a single RPG, but a collection of four mini-games. Each one involves sacrifice of some form. Not everyone will be saved, but some may be.

Check out House Arryn coming in the Mother of Dragons expansion for the A Game of Thrones board game.
Tuesday...
It's... there. I mean, it's hard to hate it, as it's not really the start of the week. All of that loathing goes to Monday. But there's not much else going on with it. It's not the middle of the week, really. It's just... Tuesday. I know Arthur could never really get a handle on Thursdays, but I think Tuesdays are the ones I have the toughest time with. Better listen to some gaming podcasts.

It was, "start hanging out with friend. Blink. Friend leaves and it's time for bed." Like, the hell? I feel cheated out of 2 days off. Oh well... there'll be another weekend eventually. Just a long way to go until we get there. And if there'll be gaming on that weekend, we'll need some terrain.
Today in the Terrain Corner we have: Urban Decay Mat Available From Loke Battlemats and Medieval Kit 1 Available from Pwork Wargame.
