I'll be running an OD&D game in the afternoon on Sat. There are also games by other members here Eric Hoffman James Spahn Noah Stevens Humza K Pearce Shea Charley Phipps plus Reynaldo Madrinan & Larry Hollis. The full game schedule can be seen on Warhorn (link below). #tridentcon

All this talk about #HolmesinSpace  reminded me that I fooled around with a Blue Star idea a couple of years ago for a little game I put together. I like Zach H's inclusion of more Lovecraft.
