Desperate times, desperate measures, that’s about the only way to sum up the group’s solution for the current dilemma. And as if things aren’t bad enough already, a new Council member drops in unexpectedly. A couple characters spring into action with some quick-witted and unexpected counters of their own, but they trigger a dire consequence for one character in particular.

Things start heating up in this episode, literally, with a Dead-drop recon mission, and a bunch of little Kaiju (nicknamed Kaijlettes) that just won’t drop-dead as they are told to. But at least a couple characters may get some new tech gadgets out of it… if they survive.

A Kaiju in the city, a cryptic radio message, and a decision to split the party; those are the ingredients for what we hope is a recipe for success. And Jeremy even attempts an interesting negotiation strategy with Jordan to steer the narrative in that direction. But who are we kidding. We know full-well how these things turn out.

In this commentary episode we fully wrap our minds around how much the city of Consiglio has fully spiraled into chaos… and Jordan’s literal interpretation of the player’s words is just the cherry on top. We talk about near-death experiences for characters and tying in some loose threads from the previous seasons.

“No more carrying bodies.” So the group waits for Jerr to regain consciousness. Before waking up Jerr has a vision and seems to make a big connection with his elemental, opening the floodgates to new found strength. We’re sure this will come back to bite the characters in the batt later in the season though.

Sneaking across the war torn city in the middle of the night, what could go wrong? Well, despite some pretty epic dice rolls, everything. And we see one player character on the brink of death. When all is said and done, we blamed the trash panda.

We talk character growth, inspirations from the writings of Jim Butcher, and how we find story telling very fulfilling.

Navigating through war zones in the city is hard enough, but having their faces plastered on posters as the faces of the uprising, puts a whole new level of danger on the situation. Looking for answers… and weapons, the characters have little choice but to trust each other. And of course, Jordan drops another bomb right at the end of the episode.

It’s the long-awaited return to Consiglio in this episode. There’s smoke, fire, blizzards, huge gusts of wind that can lift a tank, and blood in the streets… literally. It’s been a few months since the group has been there, but they quickly learn that their faces have not been forgotten.

About a day’s journey from Consiglio, the group does some scouting in the underground town of Dinfor. All is not well the North Bellasaira, but that’s not a total surprise as their exit from the city months before did indeed spark a revolution. One of the party is recognized by the military, and they again have to make a quick escape on the final leg back to the capital city.

In between scenes, we get a glimpse of inspirations of certain aspects of the story, and debate on the proper execution of Rock, Paper, Scissors… or is it Scissors, Paper, Rock?

It’s the season 3 finale of the campaign, so of course, just as the group reaches some resolutions on the interpersonal conflicts, the bottom drops out as it is revealed the Council had found the Animal Preserve. On the run again, it’s unclear if everyone will survive. But whoever makes it out, will be carrying an order to kill once reaching Consiglio.

We’ll see if that actually happens, as a shoe that has been waiting to drop since midway through season 2, finally falls and will definitely change things going forward.

But with that, some negative memories do resurface. It appears that there are members of that group that are more connected than originally thought.

We also talk about some of the mechanics for advancing characters in the OpenD6 system, all in preparation for some of the secrets and “bombs” we expect to drop in the Season 3 finale session and rolling into Season 4 of Elements of War.

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.

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.

While there has been some major headway made toward reaching the goals the the preserve had promised, the group continues to discover new ways to add inter-personal drama and tension.

Well, the animal preserve certainly hasn’t been a dull place. What the characters saw as a respite, Jordan and other players had something much deeper in mind. The group appears to be coming apart at the seams, but in this commentary episode we discuss the methods behind the madness, and postulate how it all might be building toward something greater.

With this episode, Elements of War becomes our longest running campaign, and we still have so much more story to go. This week, one particular problem spirals quickly out of control, mainly because no one is even aware that the problem exists… and it has put one of our most beloved NPCs in grave danger from the most unlikely of threats.

If the title is any indication, the characters have no idea of the chaos that is about to ensue. This play session also caught most of the cast completely by surprise as well. Alarms sound in the Animal Preserve, and some characters are on the run from the Androids, while others are on the run from each other. But despite the perceived danger, this episode is still only the calm before the storm. Hang on tight, this is going to be a wild ride.

Our characters were definitely challenged in this session of play, but we were as players as well. In this commentary, we talk about how although we love the non-linear storytelling method, it was not without its complications.

We’re finishing up our character focused episodes to start off season 3 with a look at to what the journey was like for Sam. Here we see more evidence that the trip wasn’t a bonding experience for most of the characters. There are definite seeds of tension that will play heavily in future episodes. However, in the final scene, if appears that when the chips are down, they’re all still in this together… mostly.

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.

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.

The characters head into uncharted territory, and so does the podcast; as we talk about planning for a 3rd season in this story.

Here is the season 2 finale! In this action-packed episode, the group sets into motion a plan that will really shake up the city. As they escape, they are trading one set of uncertainties for another. What will become of Healing Hands, the Council, and Consiglio; are no longer important questions. They must now address how they will survive the frozen tundra outside the dome. Bundle up, it looks like season 3 of Elements of War will be quite chilling.

The group squares off with another council member. This time a couple of our characters are in grave danger. This crazy scene is all topsy-turvy, for even our dice rolls, as a character with the best of intentions misses with an epic roll, but the unassuming character with ulterior motives seems to save the day (for now) with a less than stellar roll. But we see through a couple of flashback scenes, that it’s that hidden agenda that shows of a greater conflict to come.

Not only do those decisions affect the story, but also how we play the game. We also spend some time describing how our style of play may differ from most roleplaying encounters. It’s “collaborative storytelling” where everyone is in the driver’s seat and the GM is just “the director in this sham play”… and we love it.
