Genteel Magistrate

Hello all, A 4 day convention, an allergy attack Saturday, and con crud this past week has conspired to keep me from writing this recap of the Victorious game I ran Friday at the con from 1pm–5pm. Until now, that is! I decided to do things a little different...

Greetings all,   Sorry for the delay in posting, but we’ve been prepping to go to the North Texas RPG Con, and as usual we’re taking the whole house and the kitchen sink. Not to mention I’ve been prepping for my Victorious game I’m...

…then check out the new blank Western Union telegram file in the Resources section. It’s from 1919, but it should be a good enough in-game prop to give a GM’s session that old Victorian feel! Genteel Magistrate P.S. We recommend using a typeface su...
