BTT WF 1.4: Commentary 1

This new world and new set of character gave us a lot to talk about for this first commentary of the campaign. We explain why we didn’t start with a full cast. However, we found out it was a great way to start because it created tension from the start, even though we all chose to play characters that were significant departures from characters in the previous campaign.

BTT One-Shot: Grimworld, Ep. 6

For this final battle with the story’s B.B.E.G, we pull out out the stops. Quick Actions, Feature Actions, High Watch are all employed against enemies seen and unseen. As the story concludes we get a hint as to why this group may not have the best of reputations. We also give some brief commentary as we wrap up on the system and what has gone into creating the setting, lore, and gameplay mechanics of this upcoming game. We really enjoyed it, and hope you all did too. You’ll probably hear another run of this game in the future!

BTT WF 1.3: Seeing Red

The crew’s investigation into Vireo’s disappearance leads them to an “upscale” boutique shop, with a suspicious curator. At this point, the group isn’t going to leave any suspicion unchallenged, so things are bound to get uncomfortable and potentially dangerous. We’ll see if these characters can hold their own in the campaign’s first instance of combat.

BTT One-Shot: Grimworld, Ep. 5

Victorious in combat, mystery solved; now it’s time to rest and recover by a cozy campfire… right? Nope… that’s never how it goes. In fact, things are a lot more “grim” (hehe) than our characters realize. The true threat is revealed in this episode, and it might be a lot more than our “heroes” want to take on. I mean, the words “run, hide, fight… in that order” were used, but let’s see if that’s the way things shake out.
