Direct Action: OP GRANGE – the Ambassador

Direct Action: OP GRANGE – Orders
Below is a faux-orders package for OP GRANGE. This was all I used when I was running the airport assault – well, along with the Challenge sheet and the maps for the Conaktry airport. Although this is a directed game, … Continue reading

Direct Action: OP GRANGE – Sitrep
This is a continuation of OP NOMOS. On completion of the mission related previously, the SRD are recalled to Niamey, the capital of Niger. They haven’t had a chance to sleep, and food gets shovelled in while they are briefed … Continue reading

Direct Action: OP NOMOS – the Challenges
The last post gave you the situation for OP NOMOS in Niger. Here are the Challenges for that mission – at least the expected Challenges, as no plan survives contact with the players. Also, as a point of interest, is … Continue reading

Directing the Action
With Centurion done, work must begin on a new product. Hit that iron while it is hot. Also, it’s become my natural state, even when I am not planning on releasing or Kickstarting something, I tend to be building or … Continue reading

True20 Special Operations Pre-Gens
For Games on Demand at Gen Con 2011, I was prepared to run four different games. Two were my own (Sword Noir: A Role-Playing Game of Hardboiled Sword & Sorcery and Kiss My Axe: Thirteen Warriors and an Angel of … Continue reading
