24 Aug 2024 | SWS: AWBO Jakku 07 | 02:32:48 | |
It used to be better, of course, it did. In the golden age of the High Republic, when there was enough to eat and enough hope, when people could lift their eyes and see beyond the horizon, beyond the day. Children were born happy and grew up rich. Now that’s not what we’ve got. Now we’ve got Jakku. A harsh desert world, Jakku is a lawless place that’s home to thieves, outlaws, and refugees. During the final years of the Galactic Civil War, Jakku was the site of a secret Imperial research base and served as a jumping-off point for warships heading into the Unknown Regions. The Empire made a last stand above the frontier planet, leading to a pitched battle between rebel and Imperial fleets. Jakku’s sandy wastes are now littered with gigantic wrecks, and newly created townships are full of desperate scavengers who head into the desert searching for parts that can be salvaged and sold. And you, who are you? This is what we’ve got, yes. What are you going to make of it? Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44Oh6lFwWhg ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ | |||
17 Jul 2024 | Girl by Moonlight: Syllabus of Secrets (Session 1) | 02:49:16 | |
We learn more about our protagonists and take on a mission in this first play session of a new playset for Girl by Moonlight. We see their dormitory and peek in on a class where an experiment has gone wrong. They're informed by the headmaster that their Order, Akhtar, is responsible for arranging an upcoming dance. But even while doing that and homework, they look into the strangeness with Malbrect, leading them to confront a student who has dredged up forbidden motion magics. Our protagonists have been drafted into a school of magic which is trying to change, manipulate, and even destroy them. When they came of age, they found themselves whisked away to The School. They were thrown into a world of arcane knowledge, strange alliances, unresponsive staff, and dangerous facilities. Soon our protagonists noticed they could see things others could not: people with memories changed, deadly challenges others didn’t acknowledge, and vanishings which went unremarked and unremembered. Now, as our protagonists enter into their second year, they’ve come to realize the school itself is a trap and a machine for some unknown purpose. They have determined to rescue those students targeted by the school and uncover the secrets of this place. But they must do this while keeping up their studies and avoiding the attention of the staff, teachers, and other entities.

09 Mar 2025 | The David Web | 01:43:19 | |
The David Web is a storytelling game for an unknown number of pursuers inspired by the structure and cinematography of the Jason Bourne movies. In The David Web, the players are all anonymous pursuers who follow David around as he tries to discover his identity. Sometimes a player will turn out to be an asset of a hostile and resourceful agency, sometimes a player will just be a camera observing David without obstructing him. David doesn't remember why powerful people want him dead, but he knows that they do and he has the skills to maneuver through the web he finds himself in. Together you and your friends will create the narrative of a chase movie by taking turns to describe what David is doing, how he uncovers details about his own past, and why he is being pursued. None of these details are created in advance, so you and your friends will make them up as you go, following along from the scenes and descriptions you each add to the overall story. Eventually both David and the players will discover who he is. Crash zoom into The David Web and get chasing!

Fellowship is a game for 3-6 players about going on an adventure, in the same vein as Lord of the Rings or Wakfu or Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders. The system is loosely based on the Apocalypse Engine. In Rebellion is an expansion book for Fellowship. The Empire is an alternative to the Overlord playbook. Rather than stop an evil overlord from destroying the world as we know it, the Empire has already conquered the world(s). They succeeded. The fellowship must work as a rebel alliance to overthrow the iron grip of the fascist Empire and destroy it from the inside out. They have sources of power that empower the entire Empire as long as they stay standing, and Leaders who inspire their soldiers and make them stronger. Both their power sources and leaders must be destroyed or defeated to make the Empire collapse. Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmpvxKeFZxQ ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ | |||

Warning - this session ended early due to a weird computer glitch for the GM. Fellowship is a game for 3-6 players about going on an adventure, in the same vein as Lord of the Rings or Wakfu or Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders. The system is loosely based on the Apocalypse Engine. In Rebellion is an expansion book for Fellowship. The Empire is an alternative to the Overlord playbook. Rather than stop an evil overlord from destroying the world as we know it, the Empire has already conquered the world(s). They succeeded. The fellowship must work as a rebel alliance to overthrow the iron grip of the fascist Empire and destroy it from the inside out.

There's a bulky pit boss called 'Jaws', a surreptitious entry to the innards of the machine, and a surprising stream of nutrient packs. Then ... 'when 'bots attack ...' and 'Oh, no! The nutrient chamber is toppling ...', and a Spirit Hunter messes with some emotions. In the background, the Scourgesworn close in on Relic ...

31 Aug 2024 | SWS: AWBO Jakku 08 | 02:35:13 | |
It used to be better, of course, it did. In the golden age of the High Republic, when there was enough to eat and enough hope, when people could lift their eyes and see beyond the horizon, beyond the day. Children were born happy and grew up rich. Now that’s not what we’ve got. Now we’ve got Jakku. A harsh desert world, Jakku is a lawless place that’s home to thieves, outlaws, and refugees. During the final years of the Galactic Civil War, Jakku was the site of a secret Imperial research base and served as a jumping-off point for warships heading into the Unknown Regions. The Empire made a last stand above the frontier planet, leading to a pitched battle between rebel and Imperial fleets. Jakku’s sandy wastes are now littered with gigantic wrecks, and newly created townships are full of desperate scavengers who head into the desert searching for parts that can be salvaged and sold. And you, who are you? This is what we’ve got, yes. What are you going to make of it? Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbN2WGERbyY ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ | |||

With Imperial patrols on high alert, noble houses pulling strings for political gain, and backroom deals driving every decision, each job comes with risk and the promise of credits - if you can pull it off.

Fellowship is a game for 3-6 players about going on an adventure, in the same vein as Lord of the Rings or Wakfu or Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders. The system is loosely based on the Apocalypse Engine. In Rebellion is an expansion book for Fellowship. The Empire is an alternative to the Overlord playbook. Rather than stop an evil overlord from destroying the world as we know it, the Empire has already conquered the world(s). They succeeded. The fellowship must work as a rebel alliance to overthrow the iron grip of the fascist Empire and destroy it from the inside out. They have sources of power that empower the entire Empire as long as they stay standing, and Leaders who inspire their soldiers and make them stronger. Both their power sources and leaders must be destroyed or defeated to make the Empire collapse. Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNNq8GrstsU ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ | |||

03 Sep 2023 | MCUS Guardians of the Galaxy Aux 01 | 01:46:18 | |
After the events of Guardians of the Galaxy, vol. 3, the remaining Guardians have decided to establish a secondary team. For this series, I'll be using the RPG Impulse Drive. In Impulse Drive, you'll play a crew of misfits and scoundrels living a life of danger and adventure as they explore space and try to make their ship a home in a technicolor sea of stars. Fight dangerous organizations, investigate unnerving mysteries, and find trouble in a game that rewards you when your characters face their shortcomings. Grow your characters and ship with new gear and abilities as you discover and create the universe together, as a group.
