| 03 Feb 2025 | Bonus episode! Against Time And Death returns, part 1 (episode 145) | 00:58:14 | |
We are playing Against Time And Death. Here's the blurb for the game: Two organisations fight to shape the multiverse in their own image. Their operatives weave their way through all of time and space, making changes throughout the vast swell of history, trying to tip the balance of probabilities in favour of their masters. If either side is victorious, a phase change will roar through the multiverse, perfecting all of reality for one side, making it inimical to the other. It is a total war across all of time and space. You are an operative wholly devoted to one or other of these two organisations. More than that, you are the best, a true virtuoso at manipulating the weave of the multiverse. Your power is immense; you wield it with delicate precision or catastrophic force based on the needs of the mission, and your own inclination. You are about to meet your match. Against Time And Death is on Kickstarter from 11 February to 25 February 2025.
