Spire: The City Must Fall – The Mask Falls – Session 6

Posted in Actual Play, Fourth 100, Podcasts with tags Heart, Resistance, Spire on 18 April 2021 by Mawdrigen

They are finally ready to go. The Ministries Eyes have everything they need, including a large amount of Doom Rock which seems like it may be instrumental. First they must get Stephanie Van Der Mal’s Trainer out of the way. A Plan which involves following him then plying him with noxious substances to knock him out.

They cannot possible mess this up right?

Firstly we received some Tea from the rather excellent people at Wayward Masquerade makers of the equally excellent Dragon Bagon’s and Bagthulhu’s. Give them a look if you need a good Dice Bag!

The Neonates want to make sure there is some protection on hand for the Prince’s soiree. So they have contacted the Huntress of the Midnight Sun for a meeting in the hopes of trying to get her in the region of the party. Whether this will help or hinder remains to be seen, she’s not the most stable of Reading’s Kindred. Continue reading →

Paleomythic – The Tribe of Bear Claw Cave – Food For All The Family – Session 1

Posted in Actual Play, Fourth 100, Podcasts with tags Blood, Cave People, Death, Hunting, Paleomythic on 4 April 2021 by Mawdrigen

The Tribe of Bear Claw Cave may be incredibly magical, but they are also very very hungry rats having eaten most of their winter stores. Someone has to go out into the biting cold to gather food, and that someone is obviously the players. Can they get enough food to keep everyone alive? Or will the elders be sacrificed so everyone else will live?

The Ministries Eyes continue to both surveil and investigate their target, and slowly come to terms with the enormity of what they are about to attempt. Can they find a way to get to Stephanie Van Der Mal without getting caught, or are they going to be burned no matter what?

The Ministries Eyes need some way of getting more information on what the inside of Stephanie Van Der Mal’s Manor house looks like. But there is a problem, it turns out they don’t really have any way of doing that. Or do they?
As they muse on their possibilities, they also come to realise that they may be able to achieve what they need in a unusual manner, thanks to the gifts of the Spider Mother.

It is a night of unexpected contacts, as everyone seems to be getting in touch with the Neonates either to tell them to do something, not do something, or maybe do something different. It’s all very complicated and none of the options seem like good ones.

Can they extricate themselves from the mess McCullough has gotten them into?

They have to get Down-Spire, but they really don’t want too use the guarded stairs. Which means… Climbing down the chains that keep Middle Perch from tumbling down to the ground. A hard climb, a dangerous climb, and one with more dangers than just falling screaming a mile to their deaths.

To get down further they need to go to various insalubrious locations, starting with the Masksless Enclave. If they can get there.

Gangs of the Undercity

Posted in Kickstarter, The Witterings of Bloodied with tags Cyberpunk, Fragging Unicorns Games, Gangs of the Undercity, Kickstarter, Undercity, Wargaming on 9 August 2020 by bloodied

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.

Dr Who – Tempus Fugitives – Diabolos Ex Machina – Session 1

Posted in Actual Play, Fourth 100, Podcasts with tags Actual Play, Dr Who, podcast on 2 August 2020 by Mawdrigen

With a Tardis full of exceedingly disturbed Archaeologists the fugitives go looking for the best Mental Health facility in all time and space, and settle on The Wayne Facility For Mental Health. Taking precautions and making sure that everyone (including Horizon Beyond) knows the plan they set off and hope to get everyone well again in short order.

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

Posted in Actual Play, Fourth 100, Podcasts with tags Actual Play, Blood, horror, podcast, Vampires on 26 July 2020 by Mawdrigen

They have finally reached the point of no return. The food supply for the Gluttony Demons has been cut off so now they are looking to fill up on Vampire bites. Meanwhile the Neonates need to lead them on their merry way to Grannies house and to the Demon traps set up behind it.

The Question is, with the hosts looking so “ripe” will they manage it before they hatch?

Spire: The City Must Fall – Innocence Lost – Session 4

Posted in Actual Play, Fourth 100, Podcasts with tags Drow, Heart, Resistance, Spire on 18 July 2020 by Mawdrigen

CONTENT WARNING – Spire is a game about facing up to privilege and power, and doing what you can to pull it down. This Session specifically has a scene of the Weak standing up to the strong and suffering for it horrifically. We will understand if you wish to leave this one until calmer times.

With a name for the Midwife, Niadis Sulham, the Ministries Eyes now have to work out where in Spire she is and more importantly where the eggs she has taken are. It won’t be easy with a building a mile high and thousands of buildings crammed into it, but they have to try. Step one, find out about this renegade, and what she is up to.

Spire: The City Must Fall – Innocence Lost – Session 3

Posted in Actual Play, Fourth 100, Podcasts with tags Actual Play, Drow, Heart, podcast, Spire on 12 July 2020 by Mawdrigen

CONTENT WARNING – Spire is a game about facing up to privilege and power, and doing what you can to pull it down. Given the current real world situation this might be a little on the nose for some people, and we are more than happy for you to skip this one until a calmer time if you feel its too much right now.

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?

Posted in Actual Play, Fourth 100, Podcasts with tags Actual Play, Blood, horror, THE DRIP, Vampires, World of "Darkness" on 5 July 2020 by Mawdrigen

Episode 320
Audio: There was a drip… and incessant drip as the British weather decided to go from trying to cook us to trying to drown us. I have removed as much as possible but sadly some signs remain.

With Granny hit with the Whammy, its time to Tidy up the knick knacks and set some demon traps up. The plans neonates come up with!

With the Gluttony demons devouring their way through half of Readings Takeaway, and most of the Homeless population having left they are getting desperate. How will the Neonates capitalise on this.

Given the current real world situation this might be a little on the nose for some people, and we are more than happy for you to skip this one until a calmer time if you feel its too much right now.

The Ministries Eyes have seen that eggs have gone missing, and now they are beginning to try and find out exactly what has happened to them. Someone must know where they have been taken to, but navigating the underbelly of Spire is difficult in the best of times.
