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

tumblr_o4czme699b1qcmtb4o5_540 — Havoc & Mayhem

This month’s stimulus comes from artist Ariel Perez, you can find more from Ariel 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 April 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 Entry In March’s Writing Challenge!

Managed to smash this one out before the start of 3BIAB. I think it’s pretty solid, a little short than what I usually write.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. And hope it inspires you to write something of your own.

Matrix Garden

The silent pulsing yellow and red light was all that illuminated the surrounds. A black concrete room lined with server banks. The frozen air and ceramic dust float through the breached hole in the roof. Crop-sec had figured that the gang of intruders had been trying to loot the vault for cash. That was simply payment. Peering down into the server room from the vault above was ring of five heavily armed and well equipped thieves. The server data was the mark.

Three Boys In A Barina 2: Boys Go West!

It’s the return of a special event. Bigger, better, and broker.

Over the next 10 8 days the hosts of the Crusading Couch, and the fine managers of [insert quest here] will be venturing into the Australian outback.

Wilfred, Kim, and Raymond will be driving, walking, riding, and swimming their way to ~~Broken Hill~~ the outback. Along the way we’ll be trying to complete a scavenger hunt, an Easter egg hunt, a wombat hunt, and probably some other kind of hunt as well. We’ll be making daily posts to our facebook page, and to twitter; and you can follow our journey there.

Now this unfortunately means there will be no new podcast on Monday(the 29th of March.) However, when we return we’ll have daily travel logs, and a massive haul of photos to share with you all.

We hope you’re all as keen as we are.
Farewell from the past; Raymond, Wilfred, and Kim.

The Crusading Couch Episode 17: What Does Your Gear Say About You?

This month on the Crusading Couch we discuss the intricate interplay between equipment and characters. From your character’s favourite weapon to the handyman’s tool that they can’t be without, we discuss the meaning of the gear that your character has, and what that says about how they behave.
We approached this topic from the perspective of the character in the heat of the moment, as well as the thought that you the player put into those choices; whether that was consciously or sub-conciously.

If you enjoyed this please share it with others, sharing is the best thing you can do to help grow the podcast!

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.

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.

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.
