BTT One-Shot: Ten Candles, Ep. 3

10CThings really spiral out of control quickly in this episode. Despite successfully gaining a “hope die”, most of the characters still fell short of finding refuge in the bunker. The end came quickly for some, while others put up more of a fight. But one by one, the horror of “them” was too much to overcome.

BTT EoW 3.58: Commentary 14

EOW S3

There was certainly a lot to digest in this first session of season 3, as well as a lot of “firsts” for our characters 2/3 of the way through their journey to the Animal Preserve. We comment on a first for the players in a different mode of storytelling. We really enjoyed the mystery and intrigue that this latest non-linear format brought to the table, and we hope you did as well. There are sure to be more “firsts” for both players and characters in the rest of the season.

BTT EoW 3.57: Maybe and a Promise

EOW S3

We focus on Archi in this episode, and we’ve got a flashback battle, along with multiple interpersonal confrontations. But despite how that sounds, it’s not all “business and no play”. Archi is so serious that the mood somehow magically overflows into moments of comedy. We had a lot of fun in this episode. Enjoy!

BTT EoW 3.56: Checks and Balances

EOW S3

Julian’s got some pretty jagged puzzle pieces to put together on the journey, and the picture that is being revealed is quite jaded. Or is that just his interpretation? He makes the rounds, hoping to get everyone prepared for the change that is coming. In the final scene, we get a glimpse that there will be trouble as they cross the mountains. But what is the trouble is exactly? We’ll have to wait and see.

BTT One-Shot: Cthulhu Dark, Ep. 5

In this episode, one of our characters is captured, while the others are still on the run. But where they are running to seems to be a point of contention. One is seeking adventure, another reinforcements, and another… food. Where exactly they’ll end up is still up in the air, but one thing for certain is that they are all scared out of their minds.

More crazy details are revealed, but that doesn’t shed too much more light on the nature of this horrific mystery. Who knew that a chat with your friendly neighborhood TV repairman could land you back in the hospital. And it wouldn’t be a horror story if one character didn’t carelessly return the the original scene… after dark… alone.

EOW S2

In this commentary episode, we put a bow on this enjoyable second season of the campaign. The characters head into uncharted territory, and so does the podcast; as we talk about planning for a 3rd season in this story. The setting will be quite different, and it sounds like the mode of story telling might take a new form or two as well. We are excited about where season 2 left off, and for what season 3 will bring.

When the investigation goes awry, all the usual places one would go to for help don’t yield and beneficial results. Neighbors are reluctant to get involved, the hospital is dragging its feet, and the cops aren’t taking the report seriously. But who could blame them when the details are told by a fiction writer.
