(Click on the pic above to the linked video explained below)

Today's post explains how I apply Socratic Logic to everyday questions and that one has to be consistent in their philosophies and not flip flop their core Beliefs/Morality using specific situations as an excuse to do otherwise.

Level Up 03 :'Pandemic' to 'Cultdemic'/theme changes or adding to 'Elder Sign' campaign


(Click the pic above for the video link explained below) 

In this episode of Level Up, I explain how I add to the already great theme of Pandemic by adding it to my 'Elder Sign' campaign (links below) or as to the game itself with miniatures and different themes. Theme changes include Warhammer Fantasy and the times of Sigmar are also explored.

Hope you enjoy it and  try it too. Till next word...

Level Up 02 : 'Mansion of Madness' played as a campaign or with 'Elder Sign'


(Click on the Picture above for the linked Video explained below) 

In this episode of Level Up, I explain how I play Mansion of Madness as a campaign rather than just a stand alone game per session. You can also add this method of play to the Elder Sign campaign of which I have linked below to make both games even more themed and harder.

I feel this method of adding story and 'real' death to the game really adds to the Lovecraft like lore and gets people really attached to their own named characters continuing over several campaigns.

Hope you enjoy it and  try it too. Till next word...
