BTT One-Shot: Stargate SG-1, Ep. 1

As much as we have talked about and drawn inspiration from the universe of Stargate, we just had to run a session of this game as soon as we could get our hands on it. We have a couple special guests on this play through, and in this episode we introduce the characters and take a look at how combat works in preparation for the inaugural mission of a new SG team form the Phoenix Site.

BTT EoW 3.74: Hostage For Nothing

Multiple party members are held captive… or hostage… or prisoner. There is still some debate on the exact nature of the conflict with the animal preserve. Regardless of the correct word usage, things are not going at all according to plan. So they all are taking matters into their own hands.

BTT One-Shot: A Penny For My Thoughts, Ep. 6

A new game style for us warrants some commentary, so that is exactly what we tackle in this episode. We discuss the pace of the game and some things we did not include in the basic format of the game. All in all, we enjoyed this play through and think some compelling stories were created, which sparked some conversation on the dynamics of our roleplaying group and how the session reminded us of previous campaigns and one-shots.

Elements of War

BTT EoW 3.73: Trust Both Ways

As the group prepares a quick exit from the preserve (at least temporarily), one character attempts to tie up some “loose ends”, while others enter unexpected negotiations about who should possess the canister. But even that is derailed as someone hears a mysterious cry for help.

BTT One-Shot: A Penny For My Thoughts, Ep. 5

We complete the second round of negative memories for the rest of our patients in this episode. Death plays a major role in the stories of these characters. Some narrowly escape it, some inadvertently invite it in to their life, and for some we learn that it is a welcomed old friend. But no matter the role, all these stories have become tragedy.
