Hutt Cartel (Session 2) Rich Rogers runs for Anders, Keith Stetson, Leandro Pondoc, and Tyler Lominack Skreet Mountbank acts to squash his enemies, the Pyke Syndicate, and discover a mole. Kras, the assassin, takes them down, right in front of the poor Cook, Jawa Chik Uisoc. All while Crooked ISB Agent Mira Sunfell nearly loses her new partner. All in a night's work in Sector 1313. Ghost Orbit: Pound of Flesh (Session 2) Rich Rogers runs for Erez, Marco, and Will H A virus spreads, a threat grows, the crew volunteer to negotiate some kind of truce? They are wholly unqualified for this kind of work, and there's no scrip pat for it. What are they doooooing?!?!? Gauntlet Facilitator Camp Root Robert Angus runs for Charles Cordingley, Lowell Francis, and Puckett Our group of wily vagabonds go on a rescue mission/prison break and stoke the flames of rebellion along the way! Gauntlet Hangouts Liminal: Gloucester Blake Ryan runs for Robbie Boerth and Stephen Thirsty Sword Lesbians: Queen of Thieves (Session 2 of 3) Bethany H. runs for Chris Newton, Eli S., and Kristen D. Asheara sees portents and prophesies, Jenna talks to ghosts, and Mia talks to someone she shouldn't. The new sheriff wants revenge and maybe to take over their village, but who has time to worry about that, when there's infinite social awkwardness to navigate, a witch's garden to be attacked by, and love potions to make? Band of Blades: The Legion at the Western Front (Session 2) Leandro Pondoc runs for Chris Newton, Dan Pucul, David Morrison, and Matt Phillips Ensconced at the broken, haunted Western Front, the Legion takes stock before sending a crack squad on a rescue mission: save an Alchemist with important intel on the undead. Impulse Drive: Coriolis (Session 10) Lowell Francis runs for Patrick Knowles, Rich Rogers, Sherri, and Steven desJardins In the penultimate session, our crew investigates and then prepares to face Pegah Kardan and her plots for the final disk, but an assault by a Laskarid attack ship forces them to seek repairs and regroup.

Ghost Orbit: Pound of Flesh (Session 1) Rich Rogers runs for Erez, Marco, and Will H Three ex-Imperials try to eke out their existence on the Propsero's Dream space station as unionized engineers. Woefully ill-equipped and pushed to make terrible decisions, all in a day's work for Scrip. Hutt Cartel (Session 1) Rich Rogers runs for Anders, Devin Preston, Keith Stetson, and Tyler Lominack A bunch of wild Jawas get in trouble in Sector 1313 with a cantona of Waste-It and a droid, while in a show cantina a Trandoshan beats down a Wookiee, and a Druglord delivers a terrifying threat. Gauntlet Comics Masks: Allied Angels Dawn of '43 (Session 3 of 3) Jim Likes Games runs for Alexi S., Leah Libresco Sargeant, Sawyer Rankin, and Steven desJardins The Angels track down Dr. Anatos and tackle the threat of Project Omega! Indie Schwarze Auge [DEUTSCH] World of Aventurien: Liska (Session 8) Gerrit Reininghaus leitet eine Session für Sabine V. und SalamanderJames The adventurers find a treasure they long lasted for - only to be forced by a three headed dragon to dig it up for her from the ground of a lake. With the help of their own skills of getting along with literally everybody, a sacrifice to the Wolves of Heaven and a dragon child accepting her destiny, they make it to sail away with half of the treasure - leaving the other half purposefully to the dragon. Game Facilitator Camp Pipedream Charles Cordingley runs for Lowell Francis, Puckett, and Robert Angus (Warning: Poor Audio) As part of the GM Facilitators Camp (Shambling Mound) for new GMs, we played Pipedream: a #SWORDDREAM roleplaying game (adapted from Cthulhu Dark) of detectives, problem-solving, and rural mysteries in a fantastic world; or a farcical drug comedy. We played as a farcical drug comedy. Gauntlet Hangouts Masks: The Streets of Prospect City (Session 2 of 4) Leandro Pondoc runs for Anthony, David Morrison, Sawyer Rankin, and Stephen Being a super hero is never straightforward, especially in Shoreline, where relationships are blurred and our heroes find the work harder than expected. Spectre takes a huge bump against his mother's goons, Wrath exercises his will along with his trusty sword, Sia finds their violent hero persona skirting close to her other life and, when facing an old flame, Iktomi demonstrates his commitment to leaving the villain life behind. Night Witches: November 2019 Zambrow (Session 2 of 2) Jim Likes Games runs for Bethany H., Mike Ferdinando, Puckett, and Sarah J. Sometimes too much abundance leads to very real problems. Night Witches: December 2019 Zambrow (Session 1 of 3) Jim Likes Games runs for Alexi S., Eli S., Leandro Pondoc, Maria M., and Puckett Dasha finds herself in charge as a new pilot arrives at the Airbase. Mina returns from her propaganda tour. Night Witches: December 2019 Zambrow (Session 2 of 3) Jim Likes Games runs for Alexi S., Bethany H., Leandro Pondoc, Puckett, and Sarah J. A medal ceremony paradoxically ruins everyone's day, and an ominous portent at the edge of the woods. Luckily for everyone but her, Galya is back in charge. Pasión de las Pasiones Jamila R. Nedjadi runs for David Morrison, Gerwyn Walters, Lowell Francis, and Sabine V. Things get hot, steamy, intense, and dangerous! Demigods: Mayhem on the Moors (Session 3 of 3) Alun R. runs for Ludovico Alves, Rob Ruthven, and Sabine V. Valentin the Arcane is called away by the 'secret society' to which he belongs but the rest of the Weave discover the morally ambiguous reason they have been drawn to Kingsmead-on-the-Moor. After Sophie, the Celestial daughter of Loki impresses Gator the Goblin King, a deal is struck to protect the village. Livia Aurea, the Warrior daughter of Palaestra, employs her gifts to draw both the Jaeger Werewolf Hunt and their intended tourist prey away from Kingsmead, but it sends them all to the Land of Frost. There, she holds off Frost Giants while Dave Ngozi Deth the Reaper son of Hel cowes the Hunt so that Gator can lead his goblin horde against them. All the time the mortals applaud what appears to them to be the greatest wrestling show they've ever seen...before they are swept away to serve Gator in Faery! Unfortunately, the mortal that the Weave were actually summoned to help WANTED to accept the kiss of the werewolf but is thwarted and we end with her, and our Demigods, trapped in the realm of the Frost Giants...the nemesis that the Fates have decreed for them... Impulse Drive: Coriolis (Session 9) Lowell Francis runs for Patrick Knowles, Rich Rogers, Sherri, and Steven desJardins A sudden attack on their Nomad Federation hosts force the crew to split up in a desperate attempt to defuse bombs and stop boarders from seizing the Khyber Swarm's seer and the strange golden disc she bears. Checkpoint Midnight: Magic Missile Gap (Session 3 of 3) Alexi S. runs for Jamila R. Nedjadi, Jim Likes Games, and Joe Zantek Everything comes to a head as Marguerite flees an explosive trap, Inna provokes a fight in the cafe that's supposed to be neutral grounds, and Maria taps into a very disturbing source of power. In what shape will our protagonists leave the city of Vienna? And what unexpected changes will it work on them? Outscored - the Golden Cobra award winning LAOG Gerrit Reininghaus facilitates for Donogh, Pearl Zare, Sabine V., and Wanja Bathed in colors representing our current social status we struggled with our perspectives of leaving this shitty place for a university course on how to change society through literature. And ended up brainwashed in a correction center. Primetime Adventures: Resistance (Session 5 of 5) Donogh runs for David Morrison, Pawel S., and Pearl Zare Planning for the Allied invasion reaches fever pitch, but exposing deep-seated insecurities about their mission and survivability. Thirsty Sword Lesbians: Queen of Thieves (Session 1 of 3) Bethany H. runs for Chris Newton, Eli S., and Kristen D. We create our outlaw camp turned legitimate-ish village, meet the characters (two witches and a Chosen One with a mysterious destiny and no magical skills), and watch them solve mundane problems in the most extra ways possible. Veil Fantasy (Session 6) Lowell Francis runs for Alun R., David Morrison, Fraser Simons, and Leandro Pondoc In this finale, our group of companions choose to face the threat looming at the heart of the city, facing the High Navigator who might have been turned into a vampire as a result of an earlier mistake.

Masks: The Streets of Prospect City (Session 1 of 4) Leandro Pondoc runs for Anthony, David Morrison, Sawyer Rankin, and Stephen After a tumultuous year, one involving alien invasions, robot warfare, intergalactic conquerors and the fall of A.E.G.I.S, we return to Shoreline where the Spider retains their grip on Prospect City's underworld. Amidst a housing crisis, a militarized constabulary and unrest over teenage vigilantism, we meet our heroes, ranging from a weathered Beacon, a still-poisonous Reformed, a wrathful Protege and a violent Janus. Archangel Dating Simulator Jamila R. Nedjadi runs for David Jay and Michael G. Barford The tarot is used to create a deep romance between an incarnated Archangel Raphael (now serving at a Butler Cafe that specializes in tea!) and Ezra, a celebrity whose star has fallen. Will the two manage to heal and find love? We also set up our next story featuring Archangel Michael! Demigods: Mayhem on the Moors (Session 2 of 3) Alun R. runs for Ludovico Alves, Pearl Zare, Rob Ruthven, and Sabine V.

And Inna battles werewolf ruffians (including Nazi werewolf ruffians) in the alleys of Vienna.

Primetime Adventures: Resistance (Session 4 of 5) Donogh runs for David Morrison, Pawel S., and Pearl Zare A new replacement for Herr Wagner, Major Becker will take command of the anti-Resistance effort; and Etienne plans to take him out as he arrives in Calais by train. All as the Nazis plan reprisals for the attack on the hospital. Veil Fantasy (Session 5) Lowell Francis runs for David Morrison, Fraser Simons, and Leandro Pondoc Obligations, moral dilemmas, betrayals, old friends, the slowly ticking clock of the city's faction struggles begin to weigh on our party, as Arklow fools a god of death, Opal prepares for the assassins, and Dantalion deepens the question of what they will be when all of this is over...

The Droids Rich Rogers runs for Cody Eastlick, Greg G., and Joshua Gilbreath Four droids try to protect Jabba's Palace while struggling to recover what memories they can to find their true purpose. Gauntlet Hangouts The Alien Dark: LV-426 Alun R. runs for Erez, Puckett, Sawyer Rankin, and Will H A group of colonists on Archeron (LV-426) are away from the colony when a crisis takes hold and return to find... [Content warning: body horror]. The session is set in the interval between the colony going dark and the arrival of the USS Sulaco at the start of the Aliens movie and uses my hack of Cthulhu Dark (by Graham Walmsley). It is scaffolded by the new Alien Cinematic RPG from Free League Publishing. A former Colonial Marine) forced from the Corp re-discovers her mojo; a scarred former Medic is determined to put her past behind her but must, instead, confront it; a Scientist determined that Humanity should make the Frontier bloom discovers life is not so simple (and much more horrific) than he had believed; and a Weyland-Yutani Corporate on the slide sees an opportunity to resurrect his career...wait for the epilogues...

We discover how they were drawn together by Fate to save local wrestling/concert (and poetry slam) venue, 'Valhalla on Earth' and how Fate has bound them into a Weave. Then, a series of unusual events convinces them that the Weave is needed on Dartmoor...

Inna Morozovya, the Rusalka on the CIA's leash, floods a bathroom and spies on a shady Russian holding a magic bullet. Maria, the naïve Automaton, has a heart-to-heart with a henchman to find his hidden depths. And Marguerite Tone, the slinky Matagot, trades catty barbs with a rival and crawls through a ventilation shaft to steal the prize.

Enjoy, and have a great weekend!  By Blake Ryan In the popular game Minecraft, areas of darkness (at night and underground) spawn monsters. The idea of a simple environmental condition creating creatures or even problems got me thinking… You can use some change in the environment to create an ongoing problem, either small or large in scope, and a temporary period of time or from that moment on. These can be used for any game with supernatural elements, but I shall give examples for Monsterhearts, Urban Shadows and Monster of the Week. As you will see this is an escalation to the ‘normal situation’, but does not have to dominate the entire game play. However, this can be used as the starting incident for what made the characters unusual in the first place-what made them different from regular folks. Thus it may serve as the start of a campaign rather than an escalation for season 2. It should prove to be a more hazardous journey for PC’s and provide additional options for MC’s. Suggested Inciting Incidents
Suggested Changes to the situation
 Suggested Duration for the Dark Times
Possible Side Effects
These options can be used to meddle with expectations for experienced players, or to give a through line for regular campaigns. |
