Actual Plays, Interviews, and more
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]”
Meinberg is a designer from the states making some interesting work, we sat down to talk about what motivates thons creative process.
We also talked about thons zinequest project, inspired by the Oz series.
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.
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.

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.

We talk to Luke about their new Utopian game, the need for hopeful fiction, and I finally find out what a Belonging Outside Belonging game is. All that and more in our final public episode of the year.

We’ll be back with more content in January, or subscribe to our patreon to get one more episode of Quest Markers before the end of the year.
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]”
This week’s episode of solo is a super short one!
We’re playing a single person graffiti RPG.
It asks you to put yourself in the role of a pilot, likely about to die in battle, writing your final goodbye on the inside of your giant robots cockpit, like all those that came before you.
And you do this by writing poetry on a building.
Below is a photo of our wall poem, and a full copy of the game.
Play it, if you feel safe enough.
