The Game That Saved a Life: A True Story of Chess, War, and Redemption
“The Game That Saved a Life: A True Story of Chess, War, and Redemption” In the heart of war-torn Sarajevo, 1993, amidst shattered buildings and the constant threat of sniper fire, a game of chess unfolded that would forever change two lives. This is not a tale of grandmasters in velvet-lined halls, nor of historic tournaments or million-dollar prize pots. This is the real story of how a game of chess, played in the shadow of conflict, became a symbol of hope, survival, and the indomitable human spirit.

I Played God of War: Ragnarok During a Breakup—and This Is What I Learned. AI-Generated.
I didn’t buy God of War: Ragnarok because I needed a distraction. I bought it because I needed a reason to stay awake. It was late November, the days turning gray faster than my thoughts could catch up. I’d just come back from the worst kind of conversation—the kind that ends in silence and the slow click of a door that might never open again.

The Best Call of Cthulhu Scenarios for Beginner Keepers
Running Call of Cthulhu for the first time can feel overwhelming. The tone is different from most TTRPGs. The system is percentile based and your players are likely walking into the unknown with wide eyes and no weapons strong enough to save them.

Advice for Running 'The Lightless Beacon' for Call of Cthulhu 7e
The Lightless Beacon is one of the shorter and most accessible scenarios for first time Keepers, though I often take to expanding it slightly. As it stands, this is one of my favorite one-shot scenarios, and I have run it over a half-dozen times for various groups and never had a group not love it. Written to celebrate the game's 40th anniversary and available as a free download from Chaosium here! This scenario strands investigators on a desolate island with a failing lighthouse, missing crew and something...wrong!

Advice for Running 'Paper Chase' for Call of Cthulhu 7e
Paper Chase is often the first scenario many new Keeper's encounter - and for good reason. Designed for a small party (solo or two person duet), this short, low combat investigation emphasizes tone, pacing and storytelling. But while its simplicity is a strength, many Keepers find the need to tweak it to make it more satisfying in its payoff.

Advice for Running 'Edge of Darkness' for Call of Cthulhu 7e
'Edge of Darkness' is a chilling escalation from the standard entry to Call of Cthulhu in "The Haunting". A spiritual successor in tone, this beginner-friendly scenario trades the eerie quiet of a haunted house for a full-blown ritual to banish a Mythos entity. At its core is a simple question: Can the investigators atone for someone else's sins...or will they be devoured by the consequences?

Advice for Running 'Dead Man Stomp' for Call of Cthulhu 7e
"Dead Man Stomp" isn't just a good scenario for beginners - it's a standout showcase of Call of Cthulhu's ability to blend historical realism with supernatural horror. Set in 1920s Harlem, this pulpy, jazz-soaked tale puts investigators in the middle of a cultural powder keg filled with zombies, jazz legends and the lingering echoes of the occult.
