Actual Plays, Interviews, and more
[Content Warning: Nuclear War, Sinking battleships, Death, Pleas for help.]
This week is our final episode of Phoenix Academy; and Agnatha is going to war. Our students are being shipped off to take part in a battle they don’t really understand, and will face a strange enemy.
We hope you enjoyed this series, stay tuned for more Live. Love. Die. in the future.
[content warning: this episode contains fascist language and speeches, and Extreme Physical Violence.]
This week our pilots and mechs have to attend a state funded ball. What will they wear? Who will they take as their dates? What trouble will they get into? Find out!
[content warning: this episode involves some ableist language, it’s minor but it is in there]
This week we’re back with more Mecha Drama!
Our team finishes up their planning and takes the fight to the Le Beau’s; but can they overcome these Enhanced Pilots? Will Ramona’s feelings for Sasa compromise the mission? Let’s find out together.
This session our pilots get a secret mission from Garcia and do their best to learn about their enemy. And what a better way to do that than to throw a party in their house?
We also tested the Interlude Mechanics a bunch in this episode, and I think we made some good progress.
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”
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.
[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
