As we failed utterly to interrogate the right person, and then failed to find anything in the Bingo hall we decided to try and go and deal with the Cults lock-up-garage.

Violence is applied in short controlled bursts, the recovery position is deployed, Magic is brought into effect, We play the most dangerous game of the floor is lava. With any luck they might be able to find the Cauldron before swarms of Golden Dawn descend upon them!

Episode 161

Still looking for a Cauldron belonging to a bunch of Faeries and following the clues from the dead Antiques dealer the characters get a promising lead.

Sort of.

However it becomes obvious that we don’t really know what we are doing as we flounder wildly trying to find out what the hell is going on. Also why did Nuada choose US for the job…

Please note Cult Central was FILLED with paint fumes hence an anarchic session

Episode 158

We’re back in the Dresdenverse and this time we aren’t jumping all over the place! Well we are still jumping about, but that’s actually us not the recording. Having realised that the Cauldron of the Daghda was probably swiped from the dead Antiques Dealer by someone who could travel through the Nevernever.

So off we go to Dulwich village, where the more non-human of us immediately choose the most non-human methods to investigate.

Listen as we in small distinct chunks find out the Tuatha want us to do stuff. Allegory wows us with innuendo about his sweet creamy drink (it’s Bigelow and creamy…). We drink Indian tea mixed in Cornwall.

Episode 156a

So for the first time in several years of us podcasting we had an Audacity fail, and it decided to shove just over 1/3 of episode 156 down the memory hole and lose it forever. While I attempted to get it back I was unsuccessful although the second half of the episode is actually fully intact. Instead I’m going to put up the slightly jumpy 156b up and here in 156a I and Bloodied go through and tell you what actually happened.

If you want to listen to what we have (unintentional comedy intact) please do, for those who don’t want to please skip episode 156b.

New World of “Darkness” – Return of the Pod People – Session 4

Posted in Actual Play, Podcasts, Second 100 with tags , , on 9 April 2017 by Mawdrigen

Episode 154

Well the students know what they need to know. They head down to the Curator to receive the sword Mánbelthor (faerie-basher), the magical lucky ring, and the lethal Pepper Spray.

It can’t be helped, they have stalled as much as possible there nothing to do but go and kill a furry, sorry Faerie!

Sadly we had some sound issues again, however I’ve cleaned it up as much as I can. Unfortunately it seems to have refused to record from the lovely microphones we had set up and instead used the laptops internal microphone!

Which is shit. Continue reading

Posted in Actual Play, Podcasts, Second 100 with tags , on 2 April 2017 by Mawdrigen

Episode 153

Mawdrigen’s accent continues to make it sound like we are trying to kill furries but it’s actually Faeries we are hunting. You know the Iron-Phobic Hedge-living baby-snatchers.

Anyway, having performed a séance and had a word with Paul Lane about his brother we realised that actually it was Faeries, and immediately began to try and work out the best plan. Having more Iron is definitely the best plan! To the Antiques Store!

Episode 151

With the Corpse of the Turkish Business Man finally deposited into the canal, and Tiny Tim Boxleys brain still mostly in his head, the Investigators finally have finally located this Medallion that everyone seems to be interested in. They have found a Villa on the Via Marco Polo and it has a frieze of Bacchus just like Clarissa’s bruise over the door. Hopefully the amulet is inside and having this this will allow them to do a deal with the Things in the nearby caves for the piece of the simulacrum that the Investigators now fear they have. The door is padlocked and chained up, but with a master thief in their midst they should be able to get through that pretty easier.

Episode 150

Join us as Bloodied leads us as secret special agent zombies, some recently recruited (you know in 2016 the most murderous of years), and some of shall we say … greater vintage as we attempt to ensure that the world doesn’t end.

Will Mr Higgins and the others be able to save the world? Or will the evil cultists be able to raise Rhyleh? Who IS their leader, why should we care? Where’s the Rum?

This is the sloppiest of episodes.

Oh and some very… fine celebrity impersonations.

Faced with what seems to be an honest to goodness Dragon the Knights (and Brother David) prepare to see if they can get away, but are hindered by the injured Bledic the Bard.

If they can get away though they need to get the rite back to Count Baldwin if they are to have any chance of locating the Devils Simulare and ending the hold of Evil over the city of Constantinople.

Can they trust their allies, can they trust their lord? They definitely cannot trust the Leper Priest Merovac…

Vonn takes the helm and leads us into the World of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay as we take on the roles of mostly down on their luck adventurers as they… take a job to help someone move house… ish.

Lord Heschaffenburg believes there may be a rebellion building amongst his staff, they are surly and dangerous, and they keep sleeping all the time. This combines with his house being surrounded by forest filled with Beastmen he wants to find out what is going on and also hire a bit extra muscle.

Will the heroes survive? Will the Elf and Dwarf end up in a fist fight? Will Jono find a patron? Will Gretchin realise her last name is potato?

But most important… Is the Goose Good?

Sorry for the delay but Migraine’s made it super difficult to do editing yesterday and we have no buffer what so ever due to Larp season and so on.

We discuss the CP’s Renewal very briefly before actually starting with the Cthulhu.

With the Sarnathian plot.. defused shall we say, the Investigators first deal with the question of whether Guilliame should be allowed onto the train and then begin to prepare for the funeral of Blackjack. First though are a number of people on the train that they really should be talking to!

The Buzz is back again. But only occasionally, unfortunately it seems to be very uneven and particularly affects the quieter sections.

Episode 121

Having been approached by the Sarnathians, who although pretty are a little bit on the morally corrupt side of things, the players set off to negotiate with the Beings of Ib. This may be a problem if they cannot keep their dinners down while doing so (the beings of Ib are disgusting although not as disgusting as the Sarnathians).

They also continue through the dreamlands, as the players continue dealing with the strange otherworld they have found themselves in. None of them have yet decided what they want to divest themselves of into the abyss of Nodens, could this be a mistake? Who knows!

Is that someone waiting to get on the train? I’m not certain if they should be allowed on!

This session stops a bit abruptly as the recording machine stopped recording… YOU HAD ONE JOB MACHINE!!

Will they find the missing Antiquarian, or will they have to flee before the hammy fist of the Fascisti falls on them.

With the leg firmly in their possession they should leave as soon as possible…

Of course when they leave they will be tired, so they will likely sleep, and perhaps (definitely!) be drawn into the dreamlands to the Train in Henri Peters!

Episode 105

Into Dream Lausanne they go, to try and find either Edgar Wellington or the Sedefkar Scroll. However, Dream Lausanne is not like the other Dreamlands they have passed through, it is dark and unpleasant place filled with Omens and Hellish Nightmares. It slowly erodes their sanity as they pass through it in their searches.

Can they find Wellington, and if they can is there some way of saving him, given he has been murdered in the real world.

Finally we also open some patriotic Presents from our friends at the Fandible!

On Henri’s fine train travelling to the Gulf of Nodens to cast aside their fears (if they can think of any) they continue to meet with their fellow travellers. Reaching Dyath-Leen several people get on the train, well, people and Things.

Will the disgusting beings from Ib prove to be as disgusting in action as they are in view, and what of the beautiful people from Sarnath? Will they buy wine from the Wine merchant? Who is the Dancer who appears late to the train?

Worse still Oldstaff has already made enemies on the train, although Clarrissa seems to be getting on well with Madame Brujah the severe Elizabethan widow.

Peril stalks the Dreamlands Express, and heinous crimes will be committed. Someone will have to step up to solve the crisis but will the players prove up to the task…

The obviously enter, although Archive seems so worried she grabs a hammer in real life to protect herself!

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?

Still Spoilerrific for the Peril in Kings Landing campaign, so don’t listen to it if you are intending to play that campaign.

Off on their travels to Kings Landing, the scions of House Grimwood, and fully one fifth of the Scourge of Pyke their elite warriors, are heading down the Kings Road towards the capital in an attempt to sort out the succession crisis. Along the way they visit a number of taverns (much to Garricks delight), and find out that there is a mysterious bandit in the woods nearby, and House Dannet (they of the useless cows) are heading down the road ahead of them.

What will happen? Will any Ale be left in the world after Garrick is done? Will Amyria roll her eyes so hard that they pop clean out of her head?

N.B. This Podcast contains swearing, Garrick Snow, adult themes, horses, swearing, and the words “I give them the wink” far too often, as such it is Explicit.
