Horror Express

With the sad and recent passing of Sir Christopher Lee, who led an amazingly full life, I post here a link to the full film Horror Express.

The lovecraftian themes are of course there, but we really need no further excuse than the actors whe are present in the film.

Why am I talking about this on a gaming blog? Well, due

Another Tales from the Loop blog post? In such quick succession after the last? What is going on here? The short answer might be that GMing in Face to face sessions leaves me with time in from of a computer with energy to share things. When GMing online, screen time is prep on Roll20 and in Discord.  Another answer might be that in preparing offline handouts, I have artefacts I wish to share, whereas online games are just images snagged from the pdfs. Whatever the answer is, I came here to share this pdf . This is a trifold pamphlet style handout I game my players at the start of out Tales from the Loop campaign, "They Grow up so Fast". I doubles as a quick introduction to what the Loop is, MAFF, and also gives them access to the map that is in the book, as an in game artefact. Of course, strip out the MAFF logo, and change the map, and you can use it for any of the three cannon settings for Tales from the Loop. Or indeed your very own setting. Enjoy, and let me know if you
