Red Markets: The Crewsade (Sessions 0-2)
Will H runs for Horst Wurst, Jim Likes Games, Lowell Francis, and Paul Rivers
The first three sessions of our game of Red Markets, set in the enclave of Camp Lazarus, just outside of New Gauntlet City and on the wrong side of the Quarantine border. Session 0 builds our enclave and session 1 sees our Takers rescue their client from a neighbouring settlement following an outbreak. But some bad news for another survivor turns into a potentially lucrative sideline...they don't call 'em Takers for nothing. Starring Arbite the negotiator, Backslash the katana-wielding crusader, the dogmatic Black Math warrior, and Shanti the (sorta ruthless) Scavenger.

Trail of Cthulhu: Bright Lights, Dark City (Session 4 of 4)
Lowell Francis runs for Agatha, Jesse A., John Glass, and Mike Ferdinando
In our final session of Trail of Cthulhu our investigators confront the person who employed them in the first place. From there they face off against the sinister figure behind the scene, leading to a confrontation that splits the group, perhaps for all time.

Aftermath - We make characters for the game's third setting: a post-revolutionary America where the investigators have helped overthrow the Castaigne regime and now fight revanchist terror.

Voidheart Symphony: Kill or Cure

In the meantime, Matt the Fallen Contender and Felix the Rational Occultist dive into the psychic labyrinth of the Castle to penetrate the depths of Dr. Gardner's psyche. When they are discovered by the Dr. Gardner's gatekeeping enforcer, all four rebels are drawn into a fierce struggle...

Monsterhearts 2: Camp Monsterhearts (Session 4 of 4)
David Schultz runs for Adam Oh, Greg Fulford, and Nathan Harrison

Red Markets: The Crewsade (Session 3)
Will H runs for Horst Wurst, Jim Likes Games, Lowell Francis, and Paul Rivers
The Crewsade finishes their job for Dr Hamilton, catching and releasing several casualties back into the approaching stampede. And they even manage to save some people from the coming storm!
