Star Wars Saturday
Teens in Space (Session 2)
Rich Rogers runs for Greg G., Sabine V., and Sherri
The crew of the Dreaming Gundark avoid a crash landing on an unfamiliar planet, meet a gang called the Tree Punks, then jaunt off to another planet only to find out one of them is a "long lost" princess. Ugh. The worst.
Flotsam (Session 2)
Rich Rogers runs for Sam Zimmerman, Steven S., and Steven Watkins
Our protagonists are drawn deeper into the coming war on the subterranean streets of Coruscant, while addiction takes a hard bite out of one of them.
Gauntlet Hangouts
Hearts of Wulin: Mandate of Heaven (Session Zero)
David Morrison runs for Maria Mison, Matthew Arcilla, and Steven S.
In our Session Zero we create our kingdom - ruled over be the regent General Ai while the Shining Emperor is still in his infancy, the clans plot in the background to enact their own designs. We might our initial characters - Six Finger Lament, the hidden demon trying to thwart his brethren's plots; Xien Ren, serving the Chan clan in their pursuit of peace, and the mighty monster hunter Wei Wang.
Fate of Cthulhu: The Rise of Nyarlathotep (Session 2 of 5)
Alun R. runs for Bodhi, Lowell Francis, The Rolistes Podcast, and Will H
Cut to Cairo, 2020...where Illtyd Aderyn McFee befriends a man of little importance with a big future in 2028, and about whom Nessa al-Ghumari has some serious questions; Agent Rook seeks information from Egyptian Intelligence contacts; and Avery Quinn uses their science-bullshit to get credentials to visit an archaeological dig. There's a plan to protect (or is that kidnap...) a possible innocent (or is that vessel of Nyarlathotep); a busy residential dig site; and an 'occult energy detector'...and then...more acolytes of the Church of Starry Wisdom than anyone was expecting...and a darkness spell... Apologies that the 2nd Act wasn't recorded...
Masks: Neighbourhood (Session 8)
David Walker runs for Gerwyn Walters, Lara Boerth-Dryden, Pawel S., and Will H
Bluebird is missing and the team is not dealing with it well. Dynamic and Paladin are hot on her trail - and come fast face with Bobby 'Tigerman' Ramone. Paladin is forced to confront the Kilgore legacy as Dynamic's confrontation with Beatdown threatens to put the team in the firing line. Whilst The Grey Ghost, haunted by their actions during the Blackout looks to Nox to support her. The problem is that Nox's sister Kitty 'Lux' Barges also wants her support - and is none too pleased with the competition. Oh yeah, and Sparky speaks now - that's kind of cool as well right?
Chalice: The Cathedral of Green
Donogh runs for Bodhi, David Morrison, and Jon Grim
Three knights seek the Holy Grail, but none are pure of heart; Sir Ulfric does not think any worthy and has a burning need to destroy, Sir Vergil is near death and hides a terrible family secret, only Sir Elyan's true love is worthy of his admiration and he is ready to sacrifice his companions in this quest!
Sentinel Comics: Starter Kit (Session 4 of 4)
Mikel Matthews runs for Brandon, Bryan, Jake, and Terry (He/Him)
Tacyhon, Bunker, Wraith, and Absolute Zero in the aftermath of the Obliveaon Event are dealing with multiversal intrusion into their reality.
Return to Brindlewood Bay (Session 6)
Lowell Francis runs for Dan Brown, Patrick Knowles, Sabine V., and Will H
We finish Josh Horowitz's excellent "A Night at the (Whaling) Museum" mystery from Codex Leviathan and launch into "Deadly Silent Auction" from Nephews in Peril. (Note that the GM gets the silent part of that wrong...)
Ultraviolet Grasslands: Season 8 - Strange Geometries (Session 1 of 4)
Horst Wurst runs for Abe Lincoln Jr., Chris Thompson, Puckett, and Will H
Three Sticks Lake
The Pack: Loblolly Trails (Session 2)
Dan Brown facilitates for David Schultz, Jane, and Lowell Francis
Impulse Drive: The Expanse (Session 2 of 4)
Alun R. runs for Bodhi, Brandon Brylawski, Jon Grim, and Rob Ruthven
Felix snaps out of his first reaction to the 'proto-roaches' while Kit tries to seal them out of the control room so RaeDawn can finish downloading the data they've come for. We also meet Sofia Torres on board the Skylark, the crew's ship, monitoring the ship that was on an approximate approach to the asteroid and which is now definitely slowing down to intercept it...and them. There's some panic on board followed by extra-vehicular repairs; growing concern over the roaches and their numbers; and the tricky problem of setting the asteroid base's reactor to blow up...and then...an argument over who holds off the roaches, and an escape at full thrust...and a dead patron on Ceres...
Apocalypse Keys: Season 3 - The Oldest House (Session 2)
Jamila R. Nedjadi runs for Darold Ross, Eli S., Joel N., and Leandro Pondoc
Laylah falters for a moment as a strange memory resurfaces, Vana allows a moment of vulnerability for the sake of Agent Mikelson, while Panzer and Delilah stand too close to the edge of doom all too ready to give up on their humanity. The Oldest House twists and turns and responds to the monstrous agents, and we meet others trapped by the house who may have become willing prisoners.
Shattered City (Session 1)
Lowell Francis runs for Chris Newton, Daniel, Patrick Knowles, and Tyler Lominack
We begin by creating characters for the world and houses we built in Session Zero. We then dive into the drives of various factions, unearth a fungal threat, and start to see a coming crisis over water and contamination.
Hearts of Wulin: Hearts of Wulin vs the World Season 2 (Session 1)
Jim Likes Games runs for Philip Rogers, Puckett, SalamanderJames, and Sawyer Rankin
The Garage is for sale, and that's a problem for the punks, barristas, record store owners, and prepschool boys dreaming of going on the road, because it's the city's most formative music venue, and the crew isn't about to let it go. This is the tail end of our 'Zero Session' so it only goes an hour or so.
Hearts of Wulin: Hearts of Wulin vs the World Season 2 (Session 2)
Jim Likes Games runs for Puckett, SalamanderJames, and Sawyer Rankin
With Jacob out of town for the day, the crew has a run-in with The Beverage Barn crew, a busload of American tourists, and...preppy douchebags. At least Darcy is making bank.
Free from the Yoke: Rokugan (Session 8 of 8)
Lowell Francis runs for Patrick Knowles, Scot Ryder, Sherri, and Tyler Lominack
Emperor Toturi's project comes to fruition, but that means almost nothing to our heroes who each face dramatic life changes and choices.
Brinkwood: Refuge (Session 6)
Jamila R. Nedjadi runs for Joel N. and Maria Mison
In this session Mother Myrtle makes sure the bath house encourages a budding romance. Ashtarae struggles to express their emotions and come to terms with what their crystal heart wants. Ashitaka enjoys the comforts of the Refuge after a long journey in the forest. Together the three of them spend time in the sanctuary to gaze upon the moon, and a strange magic fills the Refuge...
Gauntlet Campaigns
Teenage Nightmare: Apocalypse High (Session 2)
Jamila R. Nedjadi runs for Darold Ross and Leandro Pondoc
In this session we learn that something strange is going on in Allentown. Video recordings of intimate moments that never happen haunt our characters and a mystery unfolds. Dex gets close to Dae Hyun in unexpected ways, Del finds a house of mirrors can be unexpectedly sexy, and Candace proves that she's willing to play the role of the devil in exchange for power. And most importantly, we all collectively realize that Gavin the himbo must be protected at all cost.
