Episode 81

Allegory our American Member is over in England so we decided to to a one shot of Dresden Files!

A power vacuum in London has caused all of the various supernatural players in the City to organise a neutral meeting to discuss splitting up the Hoard of the now deceased Dragon.

With the White and Red Courts, the White Council, the Yardies, the Mafia, and the London Metropolitan Police involved everyone assumes it is a trap. Join us as we work out whose trap it is!

The rag tag band will no doubt have to deal with several issues, with an entirely unsympathetic Wizard, a WerePuma, a member of the police, a woman all covered in strange glowing tattoos and the worlds most terrifying IT guy what could possibly go wrong…

Oh wait. Will Reading still be standing?

Happy Halloween!

After a lengthy recap (go to 32 min 39 seconds to skip it), the Investigators get on with it!

Having finished the Diary of Professor Smith the Cthulhu team remember that they were going to Stoke Newington to look into the disappearance of Mr Henry Stanley, who had recently bought a train set of all things from the shop of Mr Mehmet Makryat.

Smelling a rat they decided to check into it on the basis that… well if they don’t deal with it now they will be on the continent potentially for months before they get back for it.

Will they be able to work out what has happened in this the first episode of the Doom Train?

Episode 79

Despite what we say it’s actually the 9th Session of The Blood Red Fez and with Henry Terrence Smythe now wearing a Fez the action has definitely come to a ‘head’. Menkaph is planning to attack, but first they need to persuade Baron Von Hoeffler’s daughter that she should allow the Baron to help the players defeat their enemies nefarious plans. Will Mrs Meyers be saved, or will the Doctor complete the set and euthanise her like he euthanised Mr Meyers.

Or will it all end in tears when midnight comes around…

CoC7e – Horror on the Orient Express – The Blood Red Fez – Session 8

Posted in Actual Play, First 100, Podcasts with tags , , on 3 October 2015 by Mawdrigen

Episode 78

Baron Von Hoeffler has finally arrived and immediately takes charge of the situation, although the Players worry that his immediate response of “go and murder Menkaph and his compatriots and take their Fezzes” might be a little bit too direct action for them. Added to the fact they keep tripping over Chinese Ladies in the corridor, and Menkaph has made it clear he will stop at nothing to get the book and the other Fez back, its all looking a bit bleak.

Can Henry Terrence Smythe and the others survive… and if they don’t who was the Henry Terrence Smythe Sadie etc met in the present.

We go through Kickstarter project we have backed and loved, and a few that have frustrated us beyond belief (I’m looking at you Chaosium). We round up all of the video game and roleplaying projects we have backed. Also discussed is the habit of programming companies kickstarting the IP free versions of their own previous games (Torment and Numenera for example).

Shadows of Esteren
OVA
Revelations of Mars
Plotbuilder cards
Conflict Cards

PS Route 666 did lure me in the end… mostly due to watching Mad Max.

We then move on to Music and Characters, specifically working out each characters theme song and how this enhances the games.

Episode 53

The Fight continues with the Mountain and Garrick hacking at each other, Loras getting telling blows. Loras keeps getting involved and doing his flashy fighting. The Great Jon wakes up and starts fighting for real this time!
Amid the clanging and crashing Brian Telson is still assaulting the member of House Lugos’ team for reasons he will no doubt let us know when we aren’t busy. In the meantime, Thoros has gone off on one, which with a flaming sword worries us just as much as the rest of the enemies.
The Mountain has broken the rules. Can we survive it and still win? Will Garrick become legitimate? How much will we win for the bets…

Can House Grimwood survive their victory?

Episode 51

It is the day of the Grand Tourney, the house has its plans in order despite the minor curve ball thrown by the melee being EVERYONE on the field at once.

Which means everyone will face the Mountain together.

Will the Mountain kill everyone, will the Grimwood plans bear the fruit they expect or will it all go horribly wrong. Can Garrick actually do what he said he would, and take the Mountains attention so no one else has to die horribly. Did anyone from the family remember to put a bet on? Who will Garrick wink at? Will Thoros be sober enough to fight?

[ITS SUPER EXPLICIT] The Cult Drunkenly Play Kobolds Ate My Baby (in colour)

Posted in Actual Play, First 100, Podcasts with tags , , on 27 December 2014 by Mawdrigen

Episode 50

We have decided not to play Descent any more as it’s so balanced it annoys us all equally! So instead for the 50th Episode we play Kobolds Ate My Baby! Anal Dave, Beep, and Naked Jon go forth from the caves to try and get food to keep King Torg (ALL HAIL KING TORG) from eating them.

Obviously being Kobolds they are not well suited to this task. Will they survive the attack of Big Black Cocks, Witches, Runaway Carts, Horny Necromancers, and Leg Humping Terriers?

No. No they won’t. But at least it will be funny listening to them try.

Will they steal the Baby? Will I get so drunk I forget how to roleplay? Will Bloodied ever get the mental images out of his head? Can Archive really Wrassle anything? Will Hardwick beat the Demon Cock to death? Find out in this episode!

In case you haven’t realised, this one is marked as Super Explicit. This is because it is SUUUPER EXPLICIT. If you listen to this you should likely wash your ears out with soap afterwards.

Kuro – The Four Otaku of Sto’Vo’Korr – Session 5

Posted in Actual Play, First 100, Podcasts with tags , , , on 13 December 2014 by Mawdrigen

Episode 48

Due to Scary Ghost Tactics I do not suggest listening to this while you drive your car!

In the Finale of the Kuro campaign the Characters now find themselves directly threatened by the angry ghost of Miyuki Sanso, apart from Chiyo who seemingly doesn’t do Pop-Culture references.
With one of the Four Otaku in hand can they keep him safe and alive from the ghost, knowing as they do that if she kills him, then she will be free to start on everyone else who has wronged her.

Currently they are trapped in one of the Otaku’s apartments, safe, so long as the salt barriers hold out.

Surely there’s nothing that could go wrong with that plan.

Please note that we were still trying to sort out the Microphones, so the sound is a bit… variable.

Having confirmed our Hedge knight Bryan Telson as the fifth member of our Grand Melee, and drunk Thoros of Myr under the table (and under a tent) Allyria Hill begins to make a plan involving Braavosi Whiskey and poisoning the Mountain.

Oh and Garrick makes one hell of an entrance at the start of the Tournament.

Kuro – The Four Otaku of Sto-Vo-Korr Session 2

Posted in Actual Play, First 100, Podcasts with tags , on 23 August 2014 by Mawdrigen

Episode 37

We return to the ghost haunted streets of Shin-Edo following Detectives Tanaki and Kurasawa, and their Occultist “friend” Liger Usagi, who is only slightly dodgy. This Episode they are also joined by Chiyo Matsuki who is an overclocker, a computer hacker from the back streets who fiddles with all sorts of technology, but mostly reprograms androids to upgrade their abilities, well Androids and Pop corn machines.

In this episode they continue their investigations into the Death of Yun Odo in Sto-Vo-Korr, while their Sergeant may think that the culprit was obviously a Homicidal Lolita with a silenced shotgun, the team are leaning heavily towards a more supernatural explanation.

However before they can do that they must first examine a cursed computer game, because that is obviously a major plot point and not something the GM threw out on the fly at all…

Episode 34

Nyx, Bloodied and I gather to record another “Talky episode” in which we discuss what we have been playing gaming wise. We also review “Himalaya” blend tea from the Covent Garden Tea house, which seems to be perfectly pleasant black tea.
We then go on to discuss game inspiration, and where we get our ideas from. We also talk about up coming campaigns such as Chaosiums Horror on the Orient Express.
We also discuss Atmosphere and Tension in games and how we generate it, also problems with how you build it up. Dread gets mentioned, as being perfectly capable of generating the tension, without it being possible to diffuse it.
Finally we discuss player Dickishness vs in character Dickishness.

What could go wrong?
