Chris R. runs for Brandon Brylawski, Mairi, Marc Majcher, and Puckett

An awkward Seeker, who believes destiny will be thrust upon her, learns intimate details about her colleague Thanga, the Whisperer, as she shepherds his dying partner’s spirit into the Black. Thanga, a legacy appointment to the Suyata, feels pressure to perform perfectly but resists help from Tala's unsavory contacts who could help him close a case. Tala, the hacker Scout, is injured by a mysterious online powerful force, requiring cybernetic aid from Onawah, the Tinkerer, that mirrors a procedure she previously failed that resulted in her father's death. This Session Zero is the first of a four session Coyote and Crow campaign called "Cold Hunger" based on the rulebook's introductory scenario.

Gauntlet Talk

This is a seminar by Lowell Francis talking about planning and running TTRPG mysteries. It's about 60 minutes of talk followed by a Q&A. Lowell talks about his approach and best practices for running mysteries in RPGs. Topics include:
  • Kinds of mysteries (set, set variable, improv)
  • Plotting mysteries
  • The power of the timeline
  • Info handling
  • Keeping player involvement
  • Table management
and more. See here for an outline of the talk: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IcZYh23CvmZF73QD9ReUa7fDLQwbjESsEimZV9rXQog/edit?usp=sharing

​
Stars in the Dark: Season 4 (Session 7)
Anders runs for Marc Majcher, Mark (they/them), Rich Rogers, and Steven Watkins
One Year! ONE YEAR! ONE YEAR! - This is the one year anniversary of Stars in the Dark, which started out as a four-session run where I wanted to learn the basics of Blades in the Dark by running it reskinned for Star Wars. After 38 sessions the crew is Tier III, only one character from the original group is still active, and they have relocated from 1313 to the not quite as terrible 1314.

This episode brings Hutt entanglements and mysterious Force encounters as Boko, Bade, Tycho/Baron, and Val/Revolver debate the future of the crew.
