What could go wrong….
So as part of the recent online Fandicon I and Loka were lucky to be able to join in with a game run by another member of the Fandible Discord Server Valkern and one of his players Nova. Running Savage Ghostbusters and setting it in London meant it was a match made in heaven and we thoroughly enjoyed it, and he was kind enough to share the audio files with us 9and do the majority of the Editing!! Be still my beating heart!!)
Many Thanks again to the Fandible for hosting the con!

So having tried to avoid getting murdered by Ghosts, it turns out the ghosts were probably trying to get the Goatswood students to save them. So, hoping that there are no dangerous trees involved they swing into action.
Why is the muscle-bro warning them off from talking to the history department? How come the body was found so long after the ghost appeared? Who are the other potential victims?

With the Temple of Iron and it’s muscle bros and the Wine bars all over the domain hunting is a very different affair.
Then there is the ongoing issue of the Brujah. Surely McCullough hasn’t forgotten Brendan…
Episode 328
So it seems like the Wayne Foundation For Mental Wellness is definitely a trap. The only remaining question is how much of a trap it is, is it a trap trap or just a trap by accident. The fugitives would also quite like to know why the guide has no idea who the Antipope is…
It’s a trap trap isn’t it.

The Wayne Foundation for Mental Wellness is definitely not what it seems and is likely also not really a mental institution. In fact it’s looking more and more like a trap. Where did the JAnitor and the Doctor come from? What is the institute actually doing to the Archaologists the Fugives dropped off? Finally Why oh Why did the guide book suggest the place?!?

We here at the Cult always love to draw attention to nifty looking projects, and if ‘cyberpunk fantasy gang fight wargame’ doesn’t sound nifty to you than I’m moderately confused as to why you are on this website. Currently entering its last week on Kickstarter, Gangs of the Undercity is a new IP tabletop wargame from the lovely people at Fragging Unicorn Games (full disclosure: the Cult’s own Allegory does freelance work for them), putting you in charge of either a pregenerated or custom built gang battling to survive and thrive in the crumbling undercity of Neo-Babylon. Think that sounds cool? Don’t just take my word for it, hope over to their Kickstarter page and look at the pitch video, as well as the preview pics of the beautifully sculpted models you’d be using. Go on, I’ll wait…
…
…
…
…
…
…

Looks cool, doesn’t it? Even cooler, the project funded on day one, so this is definitely going ahead, and stretch goals are adding all sorts of goodies for everyone, from new models and gangs, to a short story collection building on the setting (full disclosure again: Allegory has written one of the stories in the collection, and has a small roll in the Undercity audio drama that you can listen to here). Plus, with everything so far along, delivery is estimated for end of the year, so you won’t have to wait too long to get your hands on those awesome models and snazzy terrain. We here at the Cult are certainly looking forward to getting to play this beauty, and you can bet we’ll give you our thoughts when we do. In the mean time, you’ve got until 5:59am BST Sunday 16th of August to make your pledge and secure your slot in the battle for undercity supremacy.

It seems likely that there may actually be more going on here than expected.

The Ministries Eyes know how the eggs were taken and have a lead in Cobasas the Gnoll loanshark, but it doesn’t seem likely that he is the culprit; rather he is a catspaw for someone else. Can they get him to spill the beans on who requested his help? If they do, dare they hunt them down?
