Funeral for a Don

A Live Action RP by Alan Downward and Jan-Yves Ruzicka

Vito “Papa” Falcone kept the peace in the underworld of New York City for years. His death has made waves amongst the criminal community – here’s a chance for young, fresh faces to make their name, or for the more well-established members of the brotherhood to expand their influence. Whatever your position or motivations, it is the deals made at the funeral of Papa Falcone that will shape New York’s underground for the years to come.

The Colossus of Atlantis

A Grand Strategy by Dillon Burke

The petty kingdoms of Europe, Asia, and Africa all tremble before the might of the Empire of Atlantis. For the philosophers of Atlantis have harnessed the secret of steam power with the workings of the bronze foundries to create a giant walking colossus. Equipped with siege engines and a body of elite Hoplite soldiers, the Colossus of Atlantis can overcome and conquer any obstacle…except the wrath of the Gods.
