We did a crossover of sorts recently. We had Lachlan from Fantasy Cartography on the show to play a little bit of The Deep Forest with us. It was a blast!
For those that are unaware, The Deep Forest is a collaborative map drawing game built off of The Quiet Year. It’s about communities reestablishing themselves in a postcolonial world.

[Blades In The Dark/The Quiet year]: World Building Arcus

In this week’s episode we share with you how we created the setting for our Blades in The Dark campaign, using a map drawing game called The Quiet Year.

We hope you all enjoy this look at a cool little thing we did.

The Quiet Year: Bears. Bears Everywhere.


This weeks podcast is another recording we made on International Table Top day, our second game of The Quiet Year.

Raymond helped run this game as we had five players. Things went off the rails pretty hard at times, but it was all good fun.

the photos we took of the map didn’t come out very well, but here they are anyway.

If you liked this game, we have other quiet year recordings you could check out.

The Quiet Year: Amusement

The Quiet year is a co-operative map drawing/world building game with elements of role-playing where the players act as voices within the community attempting to survive and build something in a post apocalyptic world.
Our community was situated in an amusement park, complete with a clown religion, a break away sect, and general light-hearted shenanigans.

We took photos of out map throughout the game, you can find them below, or on tumblr.

If you liked our play through of The Quiet Year, leave us a comment with YOUR preferred Quiet Year setting.
Who knows maybe we’ll play there next time! Stay tuned to find out.
