Boxing Things Up and Beyond in December

 The day after Christmas, Boxing Day, the second of three Christmas Days in Germany, my RPG clique has pulled it off. Despite some fatigue from video facing because of the Viddos over the last few months, we've finished two of 2020 campaigns and "piloted" one for 2021. The vid-face syndrome was occurring because lack of real life tabletop outlets from our normal conventions. Mind you, we are very used to on-line events-- where we don't need a lot of formatting and still use manual dice and draw maps and pictures.

I was able to conclude my Killing Hitler for my Red Bat die-hards last Tuesday (22.Dec). My agents of SEWA 66 (Society of Extra Weird Affairs 1961-1970), traveled through southern France and into Gambia chasing aging Nazi mad scientists. They encountered old men in wheelchairs that could turn into werewolves and chased WWII submarines down the River Garonne. The climax involved lasers glancing off of glittery purses and exploding space ships. 

Iron Curtis wrapped up his ICONS campaign in the alternate universe, The Black and White World, just tonight. Sadly the Crew, not the Scrap Pile, destroyed the whole thing using that world's very own cataclysmic plot device, the Chrominator of Doom, on itself. If you've never seen a moon made of cheese suck in its colonies and a flat world of the Map of Earth crumble upon itself to form a sphere, you should game with this GM to get a taste of it.


About two weeks before either of these, I started my '21 Icons-Supernatural campaign, Scraps of Magic: Mythos. I have written about how our gaming group was really developing the mystical superhero hero milieu, well it's starting to coagulate and shape into some serious high urban fantasy here. Hopefully the trend of curious bypassers stopping in to play continues. They helps avoid the Vid-Face during these Viddos.


As we, well me at least, will be breaking for the month of January because of the big life move and all, I hope to get started on my Mythos in earnest and get my Gonzop  dabbles running as a lively campaign. And Iron Curtis has not satisfied his thirst for something Scrap Pile for our superhero RPG subculture.
