NEVER THE END




To There And Back Again

Ted The GM's Campaign Archive

Welcome true believers to what I hope will be an illuminating and helpful gaming resource for the small circle of friends who are currently embroiled in one or more of my little campaigns. To anyone else who managed to blunder in here (and I don't quite see how, as I'm damn well not advertising this little lark outside of the "inner circle"):  Hi. None of what follows will make any sense whatsoever, and certainly isn't what your looking for. That cute little button on the top left of your screen is probably your best bet right about now.


For everyone else who's sticking around, this site originally grew out of a desire to allow the players in my insanely detailed Star Wars campaign an easy way to keep track of everything without mandatory note taking and pop quizzes. As to the inclusion of everything else, well, let's just say I like completeness. Besides, complex gaming histories are always where future adventure hooks are hidden.

This archive is organic and will grow. Updates will hopefully appear after every adventure. Stay tuned.

The Archives

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a secret war was fought for the galaxy's soul....
 


In a world where all the myths and legends have gathered, evil now has a terrifying and surprising new source.
 


Four-color adventure in the 1950s.... and beyond! Campaign world created by Steve "Midnight" Mollett.
