Gods&Monsters: The Slayers Of Decadence

This is a complete playlist for our Gods&Monsters FATE campaign.
You can also find all the posts by clicking on Gods&Monsters category.

What started as gods bickering, and old pantheons fighting back; evolved into one of our best campaigns yet. A fantastic exploration of mythic family bonds, and what it takes to safe guard a community. While the audio quality suffers a little towards the beginning of the campaign (we are working on remastering the files) we’re still extremely proud of what we’ve created.

Once we’d finished recording the campaign, Raymond asked the GM (Ryan), and the other player (Eric), what their thoughts were. You can read that below the break.
UPDATE: we are currently working on a remastering of the audio for this campaign.

Gods&Monsters: The Slayers Of Decadence Episode 10

This is the final episode of our Gods&Monsters campaign!
It’s been a blast but all good stories have an ending.
Will the Pantheon of Endurance survive?
What sacrifices will need to be made?
What does the future hold for our gods, and their communities?
What world will our gods leave for their children?
You’ll have to tune in to find out.

A final thanks to Ryan from Rag-NERD-rok for running this great campaign for us; always impressed by his great work.

Farewell from the past.

The [insert quest here] Monthly Writing Challenge For March 2016

tumblr_o3dw28qfaw1qcmtb4o2_540 — Find higher resolution image, here

This month’s stimulus comes from artist Lee Kyonglyol, you can find more from Lee on ArtStation.

The challenge is this; write a short story (or other piece of fiction) inspired by the above image, it need only be a few paragraphs long. You have until the 28th of March to complete this months challenge. A hint of advice, I recommend really immersing yourself in the piece. Inspiration doesn’t always strike right away.

You don’t have to send your creations back to us or anything (but if you’d like to here is our email: insertquesthere@gmail.com).
We just want to help motivate you to write, and write in different and varied genres.

We’ll post our own attempts at the end of the month.

If you like to see what we created from last months stimulus, check it out here.

Raymond’s Attempt At The Febuary Writing Challenge!

I’m extremely happy with how this months story turned out. I had a lot of fun writing it. I tend not to enjoy first person perspective, but this worked out really well. I hope you enjoy it. If you like to know what the stimulus was, check it out here.

Saffron

A loud bang, a clatter of steel balls on plate and brick, a roaring cheer from half the cities uppers. Someone dies, a hero is celebrated. Soon two more performers will take the stage. I’m not in this to perform. I like the killing. I’m chasing the skill mastery. Swift, knee jerk precision; that’s what I’m after. I’m not flashy, I don’t toy with my prey. I just kill ‘em. As quick, and as clean as I can.

Strangely my style has been well received. It’s not what most others bring to the field. Although, let’s be real, people just get off on seeing a cute brunette dispassionately dropping fools.

They’ll be done resetting the arena soon, time to get dressed. My armour case looks like worn shit, but my shell is good. Solid grey plates of modular armour bits. I pull on the under clothes, black nano-adhesive cloth. Black elbow gloves, black thigh high socks, black top. The armour bits just cling to the fabric, like magnets on a fridge. The armours for shit really. The gauntlets and boots cover me a little, and the chest piece covers some of my organs; but there is still plenty of skin. Midriff puts butts in seats though, and it’s not like anyone ever sucks breath long enough to hit me. Continue reading “Raymond’s Attempt At The Febuary Writing Challenge!”

The Crusading Couch Episode 16: Players And Pregens

This month on the Crusading Couch, we take a look at pregens. We talked about some of the different ways you can set them up, as well as what you can use them for, such as demonstrating a new mechanic or character build. This months recording is little bit shorter than normal, but we hope you enjoyed it anyway.

Farewell from the past.

Gods&Monsters: The Slayers Of Decadence Episode 9

This week the gods of fortitude prepare for the second siege of Firefly. They’ve adopted some strange strategies to defeat the Arcanians; including laying down their arms, and abandoning their defences.
It’s a bold play cotton, let’s see if it pays off!
Thanks to Ryan from Rag-NERD-rok for GMing this for us. Always impressed by his work on this campaign.

Farewell from the past.

Monster Of The Week: Kelpie Hunt Part 2

We continue our investigation, in the 2nd half of Ryan’s MotW game, into the senators son. Following the trail of strange visions from parallel worlds, glimpses in time, and clues gathered from illegal wire taps to find the Kelpie’s nest our Gay Grampas might just have to ruin a mans life.
And his wife’s life.
And the life of his son.
And possibly that of an assistant as well.
But the nurses come out alright!

If you missed part one you can find it here!

Farewell from the past.

Monster Of The Week: Kelpie Hunt Part 1

Ryan ran a fun two part adventure for us recently, with a couple of players you’ll be hearing more from when we start releasing our Numenera campaign.
A senator’s son has had a strange accident while boating on a lake in Sleepy town USA. An eclectic group of geriatric occult investigators is looking into it…although their methods and motivations are questionable.

Farewell from the past.
