Mouse Guard 2nd Ed. Actual Play Series – 1d4Con 2017 Playtest

JamesLeave a comment

This was recorded right before 1d4Con 2017. This is the Playtest of the Scenario James ran at the convention. He recruited David and Marian to play and Marian brought Derek along with her.

**Note** – Mouse Guard is a front heavy system in terms of mechanical crunchiness. This games was a learning exercise and it not played 100% correctly according to the book.

The recorded game itself has a running time of about 2 hours and 30 minutes after the long pauses had been removed. Then we discuss things that we noticed or questioned about the game for about 15 minutes afterwards.

Here is the cast:

GM – James Winfield

Kenzie – David Havelka
Saxon – Marian McBrine
Lieam – Derek Guder

If you are following the Vampire V20 game, it is on hiatus until after the major convention season. It should start back up in September or October. In the meantime, we are planning to release a couple of other one-shot APs of various systems until then.

VtM V20 Actual Play Series – Baltimore in Darkness 03

JamesLeave a comment
Storyteller:

  • James

Players:

  • Marian (Bob Roberts – Ventrue
  • Davie (Morgan Mandrake – Nosferatu)
  • David (Willard Connelly – Tremere)
  • Wes (Tom Hebert – Nosferatu)
  • Christina (Madelene Cross-DuChance – Toreador)
*A note about the quality*: We used G+ Hangouts exclusively this time again. Other than the usual issues with Hangouts, the quality issues stem from the static of Christina/Davie’s mic, some background noise from Marian’s mic, and the occasional low volume of my mic. It is hard to hear what Christina and Davie say sometimes due to the static.

This episode is heavily edited to fix and cut out audible tech issues as well as long periods of silence, background noise, and other random noise picked up by microphones.

The next episode will hopefully be recorded in July.

*A note about the quality*: We used G+ Hangouts exclusively this time. Other than the occassional cut out or drop that usually comes with Hangouts, the only quality issue was Marian’s mic. It is hard to hear what she says some of the time and with her still having a cold, it didn’t help.

This episode is heavily edited to fix and cut out audible tech issues as well as coughing, long periods of silence, and other noise picked up by microphones.

The next episode is due to be recorded on April 8th.

VtM V20 Actual Play Series – Baltimore in Darkness 01

JamesLeave a comment

Hello everyone,

New year means new things. I (James) have started a new Actual Play campaign called Baltimore in Darkness which uses the Vampire: the Masquerade 20th Anniversary rules set.

Listening to Happy Jacks RPG Podcast’s Mote of Sin (V20 Actual Play) really inspired me to run one of my own. Thanks Stu!

*A note about the quality*: We started by using Roll20.net, which doesn’t have a mute option and most of our mics’ hardware mute switch didn’t seem to work. At about the 1 hour mark, Roll20 completely crapped out on us and we picked back up in G+ hangouts. Both Marian and I are sick and coughing a lot.

This episode is heavily edited to fix and cut out audible tech issues as well as coughing, but not all could be cut. So be warned, some parts are rough. I feel that the episode was ultimately listenable, so I’m releasing it.

More episodes should come every other week or so. Hopefully in better quality.

No Rest For the Wicked Actual Play – Part Deux

JamesLeave a comment

Here is April’s episode. One last in before 1d4Con. Hope to see you there!

It’s a short actual play of Monica’s Apocalypse World hack, called “No Rest For The Wicked”. Joining us this time is Monica who was voluntold to MC for us, Steve, Katie (Dirtskirt) and James.

This is our 6th non-campaign AP episode and is Steve or James’ second go around with the system; however, it is Katie’s first time with a *World game. If you know anything about us, hilarity and mishap definitely ensue… This is a really short episode. We recreate history between the James and Steve’s characters and add Katie’s to the mix. This is sort of a weird sequel to the first game, but enjoyable nevertheless.

MC – Monica

Players:
– Steve as the Soldier (Leo)
– James as the Mechromancer (Turing)
– Katie as the Gunzerker (Snuggles)

If you have any comments, feedback, or even a topic you want us to discuss; either leave a comment on this episode’s post, send us an email, or use our Contact Page! We’d love to hear from you and will read your email on the next episode!

Hope you enjoy.
