Elements of War

BTT EoW: Character Creation 2

EOW

Now we get to introduce the characters for the new campaign. Using one of our favorite methods for creating characters, the Campaign Mastercraft Method (The 3×3  Character), we share the characters’ backstories, beliefs, and goals — giving Jordan plenty of ammunition to create a bit of chaos for the players, and ultimately drive the story. We also give a brief overview of the social/cultural setting in which the adventure will begin. Enjoy!

Throwback Thursday: Inspectres, “Loan Star” Ep. 4

Inspectres LS

On this Throwback Thursday episode, the team researches the history of the Jefferson Davis Mental Asylum and finds some pretty haunting details. So heading back to the asylum at sunset seems like the best idea… but the dice strongly disagree.

We’re excited to begin a new campaign; new world, new characters, and a new adventure. In this episode, we introduce the foundation of the world we created in a game of Microscope we played off-mic, wade into this new campaign setting, and begin to build the new characters. Since recording, we have decided on a name for this adventure, Elements of War. We hope you enjoy!

Inspectres LS

On this Throwback Thursday episode, the team heads to the client’s apartment to investigate the ghost siting, which just “happens to have been” and old mental asylum. So the descent into madness happens rather quickly, and they all may not make it back out alive… but not because of anything supernatural.

Angel's Guard

BTT AG 2.54 Commentary Session 12

AG logo S2

We put a bow on this awesome adventure as we add our final commentary on the Angel’s Guard campaign. What a ride it has been! We discuss how much the characters have changed, some timeline theories, and even some possible “alternate endings”. It is sad but fitting that this episode is released today, as Jordan credits his inspiration for the final scenes of this story, Author and Grand Master Gene Wolfe, who’s recent passing will definitely be felt in the science fiction and fantasy community. We will keep on rolling and begin a band new adventure next time on Bone Throwers Theater.

On this Throwback Thursday episode we set up our Inspectres franchise in Houston, Texas, and find out what level of tech we will be working with. Brad wants to work with only the best, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Maybe everything IS bigger in Texas… including aspirations.
