"Horseshoe Jack" is coming
The trail winds higher, folks. "Horseshoe Jack" arrives December 2, 2007, at Scaldcrow.com.
The porch light's glowing, and the mountain is waiting.
This original tale comes from Appalachian storyteller T. Glenn Bane, inspired by the stories Uncle Mud used to spin on the front porch of my MeMa's little mountain house, set high on Bell Spur Mountain in Carroll County, Virginia, it's a story of mountain mystery, old memories, and the kind of tale that lingers long after the last word is spoken.
Before you press play:
- Find a quiet place
- Let the mountain settle around you
- Listen as the old storytellers did
Then come back and tell me what stayed with you. Share it with a friend who appreciates a good mountain yarn, and help keep the tradition alive.

Tactical Tuesdays: Ten Story Hooks for SIG
If you’re coming to SIG expecting a one-paragraph adventure hook followed immediately by a gunfight, you’re in the wrong city. Puerta Solara is built around pressure, consequences, and investigation. A good SIG scenario begins with a mystery, a contradiction, a suspicious pattern, or a choice that doesn’t make immediate sense. The operators are expected to…

Frights & Fables: The Less He Spoke Adv.
The Less He Spoke is the newest entry in The Dark Whimsical series for the Worlds of Pulp™ Dark Evolution Pocket World. It’s a one-shot for 2–4 players, built to run in a single 3–4 hour session using The Skinny Complete Action Edition rules. At Scaldcrow Games, this is the kind of story we love building most: small, strange, a little sad, and sharp enough to cut.
