There's a competing group of faeries, a risky location, and Golden Griffins...both real and illusory.

Darold Ross runs for Jamila R. Nedjadi, Joel N., Leandro Pondoc, and Sherri
In which Darold bleeds his love for the witchy genre all over a game. Blood Ties is a Powered by the Apocalypse game with roots in Hearts of Wulin and Brindlewood Bay for stories about witches living, loving, and fighting evil in their quaint New England hometown. Play as the heirs to powerful magical dynasties, each with their own special brand of witchcraft and create your own world of drama, suspense, romance, and enchantment. Blood Ties draws inspiration from Practical Magic, Witches of East End, Charmed, and The Secret Circle. In this session we made our characters, brought our town to life, and set up the mystery we will be investigating for this series. In our next session we'll jump into the mystery and the tangled web of romantic tensions we created.

Character creation and crew formation as we put together a ragtag Dynasty comprised of an amnesiac Capacitor bristling with power, a gunslinging Seeker with a shady past involving the Administration, a respec'd cyber-knight Breaker with a flirty living weapon and a buzzing, iconoclastic Wielder long turned their back on their brethren.

Trophy Gold: Hester's Mill (Session 1 of 3)
Mike Ferdinando runs for Abe Lincoln Jr., Bryant Durrell, and Mark
A bankrupt merchant, a disgraced gladiator, and a former Kingsguard on the run venture into Torin's Bend seeking the riches left behind in the long-abandoned village of Hester's Mill. Between setting a blighted cornfield aflame, a severe case of poison ivy, and finding a nest of vipers the hard way...their quest is off to an inauspicious start.
