Adding a Second Track to One Sheets in Your Game

For the second time, I had to run a game last minute and used a Deadlands Reloaded One Sheet from the Pinnacle website.

Finding Mansion Maps for your Game

Mansions are a great staple of horror and noir games. When you want to use a mansion for your role-playing game session, you need a good map. When I think of a mansion, I think of a monstrous, sprawling edifice, with dozens of rooms, spread over multiple wings and at least two stories high with a basement.
