The Ruins of New York: Jules Drake

by

Jules Drake is the epitome of the dashing rocketeer; brave to the point of reckless, utterly loyal to the cause and his cohorts and unwilling to back down in the face of danger.

He’s been extraordinarily successful in his endeavors, fighting for king and country and doing his part to ensure that the British Empire survives in the shadow of the Serpent.

To prep for it, and because my online friends asked me to, I’m going to be blogging about Ragnarok all week. I’ll be posting a character or a two a day, links to resources I’ll be using, and the scenario itself. Click through to see the full list of articles.

Can you survive The Day After Ragnarok?

by

In the waning days of World War II, the Nazis awoke the world-strangling Midgard serpent, nearly triggering the Norse end of days known as Ragnarok. Their plan was foiled by the Americans, who flew an atomic- bomb-laden aircraft into the Serpent’s miles-wide eye, slaying it in blinding flash of nuclear fire.
