Actual Plays, Interviews, and more
On this episode our pilot try to grow closer, some try patching their wounds, and other try to gain a lasting advantage. All before a high speed battle against a teacher they’ve never faced before. How will they fair?
We tested out the new interlude mechanic this session too, which is how you play the time between missions.
(apologise for the loud fan, it was very hot. We changed up it’s position after the first hour so it was less distracting.)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This series ended up touching a lot on Fascism and Authoritarianism, and while attempts were made not to make it representative of particular historical or cultural events…I feel like we failed in that regard. I would not have told this story, this way, if I was making it now. It is important to acknowledge our failure. I could have done better.
Session Zero of our latest campaign playtest of Live. Love. Die.
This is a playtest campaign so some stuff is going to be a little rough, and might change during play.
This campaign features 3 university students, studying at the top Agnatan Military school. they are training to be Ace Mecha Pilots, the best of the best. Each one an exemplar of what can be achieved in the service.
I hope you enjoy our session zero, where we build our pilots, and our world. We also do a quick mission at the end too. Continue reading “[Live. Love. Die.] Phoenix Academy 0”

Sid and Ray have a long and lovely discussion about each others work.
This was something of an experimental episode. Both of us make games, and both of us interview folks, so we thought we’d interview each other. It was a fun time, but it did lead to a long episode.
Sit back and enjoy this cool experiment. Continue reading “IQH presents a 2 act interview”

Laura is a friend of ours from the Technical Difficulties podcast. In addition to being a fellow podcaster and lovely person, Laura is also an editor. We wanted to start showing y’all the other jobs that go into making an RPG product, and thought editor would be an excellent place to start.
The cards show me Two Travellers Journeying across the sea in search of Treasure, Love, and Adventure! I see monstrous weather in their path, strange beasts, and laws not of this world.
Would you like to see more Travellers?
Oracle is a game by Ash McAllan, find it here.
We had a very wholesome chat with Brie about their new game Turn. A Slice of Life game about shapeshifters in small towns. Brie and Ray shared a lovely conversation about the game, it’s influence, and some of what sets it apart from other games. We also talked about Pie.
If you’d like to support Brie in making this game, check out the kickstarter for Turn.
[Content Warning, this episode involves Butchery, Carrion, and Bugs.]
Oracle is a future telling role playing game. Using special cards the Oracle and Travellers attempt to divine what the coming adventure will bring. How they will try and overcome challenges. And what their ultimate fate shall be.
We tried out Oracle with only 1 Traveller and liked the results. If you liked listening to it, you can get a copy of this cool game from Ash McAllan; here
