-
NTRPG Con is a relatively small gaming-only convention focused on old-school games.

I’ll be running a new Gods & Monsters adventure at the North Texas RPG Con this June. “House on Crane Hill” is a Hill House-style mashup and homage about a house that was literally born evil.
- A revised timeline for Kolchak: The Night Stalker
-
When did the Night Stalker and Night Strangler movies take place? When did the television series episodes take place? The internal evidence is a mess, but it is possible to construct a relatively believable timeline from the evidence, usable for an RPG campaign.
- Rolling random levels across a range of experience points in AD&D
-
I’m going to North Texas again, and this time I’m going to run an AD&D game for levels 4-6. How can I roll a random number of experience points that will only produce characters of level 4, 5, or 6 regardless of class?
- Surprise and initiative in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons
-
For the North Texas Role-Playing Game Convention’s tenth anniversary, I ran an AD&D game; the hardest part was re-figuring out how initiative and surprise work.
