Actual Plays, Interviews, and more
Ruins is a game we’ve fallen in love with since playing it.
It’s multi format, with room and support for a lot of different kinds of role play.
it brings you in, so many different ways.
This first look is a bit of an experiment, like the game it focus on.
Something vloggy, that focuses more on Ray’s experiences of playing the game for the first time.
It’s been a hard for me to work on the podcast the last few weeks. I’ve been struggling with organising content for months, and the current global crises just made me collapse inward.
But on Friday morning I woke up determined to record something, and after racking my brain a bit I realised that the game I wanted to play…hadn’t been written yet.
I spent friday morning writing an playtesting a hack of LLDR where you play as a spaceship. And I thought, I’d share that live playtest with you all.
Let us know what you thought, do you have any ideas for prompts?
This week I play another Ritual game. This time I’m a wizard trying to change themself into something new, in an attempt to overcome the past.
This is a lovely, poetic, and kind of cossy little game. It’s intimate and tender, yet also brooding and ominous.
It’s a game by Luke Jordan, and outstanding Australian creator who I’ve interviewed twice!
Luke’s having a sale on their game store right now, so buy this game or another over on their store. Continue reading “Solo: [Slough]”
An interesting solo rpg that prompts you to delve deeper into yourself, and come out stronger on the other side…while also fighting capitalism with your cyborg psychic powers.
CW: Extreme Violence and Animal Cruelty.
The Sun of God is about to kick some vampire ass!
VanJesus is an over the top adventure rpg where you play as archetypes of Jesus (or other biblical archetypes.) You hunt vampires in over the top adventures, and try to make the world a…well not safer place. A less Vampire filled place?
It’s a Wild game, and it was a blast getting to play it with Sofi and Wilfred.

CW: Death, War
First episode back for the new year! We’re playing a solo game. Legacy of steel allows you to build/explore the background of a mech. Detail some of its history and can be a companion tool for other games.

After a short break in our schedule to do a family emergency, we return with another lovely Solo Actual Play.
A lovely ritual by Jamila, that asks us to make tea for a demon, ask them questions about what troubles us, and listen to what they have to say. Perfect way to analyze what is weighing heavy on one’s mind.

To help me get back into the swing of things, and explain why I’ve been unable to post, I went back and visited something from our Solo Series.
I wanted to talk through what has been keeping me from making. Also thought it would be a good way to show off the kind of content I make for [Quest Markers] our Patreon exclusive podcast.
So in this week’s episode I talk through my recent run of bad health, explain one way to get back into creating, and I do all while playing My Favourite Pilot!!
Continue reading “Solo: [My Favourite Pilot!! And An Update]”
In following with the example set by the festival. I would like to acknowledge the Awabakal and Worimi peoples, who are the traditional custodians of the land the festival was held on, and that this podcast was made on. I pay respect to their elders past and present as well as to any listeners with a connection to the world’s oldest continuing culture. I would also like to acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and this always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
The first in our series of content recorded for, about, and at the National Young Writers Festival here in Newcastle. This is an Actual Play of hacked version of Ash McAllan’s game Oracle.
Elyce Phillips, Soo-Min Shim, and Chloe Alison Escott, join Ray on a journey to find Arts Funding. Recorded in front of a live audience, it was a hilarious adventure as well as being full of many firsts. We hope you enjoy.
[Note: we did our best with the editing of the sound quality, but it was a noisy space.]
In The Ocean is a micro rpg with prompt cards that ask you to answer questions about the world, or play out scenes from your past.
In it you play as a mech pilot stranded on an ocean planet, watching the battle overhead. As you wait for rescue you remember your past.
It’s a pretty excellent game, and I hadn’t thought about it during the recording but it could be an excellent way to build the setting for a more expansive mech game.
