Solo: [LLDR Spaceship Hack]

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?

Solo: [Slough]

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]”

Descent into Midnight Interview

This week we have a lovely conversation with Taylor LeBresh, one of the many people working on the upcoming RPG release Descent Into Midnight.

The game focuses on community, family, and hope.
Set in a technologically advanced aquatic civilization whose culture has never been touched by humanity.
Players take on the roles of guardians, defending their community from a physical, emotional, and even existential threats.

Taylor and I had a lovely long discussion about how the team itself was built around those themes, and how they are bringing the game to life.

You can find out more about Descent Into Midnight on Kickstarter or on Twitter.

First Look: [VanJesus]

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.

Solo: [Tea With Demons]

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.

If you enjoyed this, get your own copy here.
