My name is Gary Sumpter and I'm a writer and game designer.
I'm probably best known for my
gaming
work, which I've been doing professionally since 1991, but I've also had
fiction
published.

TAINTED LEGACIES
TAINTED LEGACIES is a collection of four
cosmic horror roleplaying adventures, two set in the Roaring Twenties and two
in the modern era. These adventures are not designed for a specific game
system. They are intended for use with random-roll attribute, percentile
skill-based systems. Each comes complete with maps, illustrations and player
aids.
THE BLIGHT (1920s) In the New Mexico desert an ancient
evil rises and the characters come face to face with a harbinger of a bleak
future.
SECOND COMING (1920s) Twenty years ago New Orleans
authorities, led by Inspector Legrasse, plunged into the heart of the bayou to
put an end to a terror so horrible it would haunt their dreams forever. They
thought they succeeded; they thought they'd won. They were wrong. Deep in the
darkness the characters investigate a new horror, born of the old, now stirring
- and a new nightmare begins.

WIDDERSHINS (Modern) Sex, drugs & rock 'n
roll in the Severn Valley! The characters investigate a missing girl, a
decadent rock band, and a secret so terrible no one is talking about
it.

"I playtested Widdershins a while ago, and we had a
blast." - Daniel Harms, editor, Encyclopedia
Cthulhiana
"Widdershins is easily one of the best cosmic horror scenarios
I've read in a long LONG time." - Kevin Ross, writer, editor and game
designer
THE USURPERS (Modern) A
disappearance at Arkham's Miskatonic University stuns both the community and
the campus. Investigation reveals hints of an old evil thriving in - and below
- the witch-haunted town, and the characters suddenly find themselves on the
horns of a terrible dilemma.
