The system is Cosmic Patrol from Catalyst games. It means to capture the golden era of science fiction, drawing inspiration from Buck Rogers, The Lensman, John Carter, “X Minus One”, and more. This episode, we meet the characters, and begin the mission. The crew members of the U.S.S. Roddenberry have to stop a comet that is careening towards Sol while emitting signals of odd origins! Will they be able to determine the source of this erratically behaving phenomenon???

It’s crazy to think how long ago 2013 was. But, no matter when it’s recorded, an actual play episode!
In this episode, we introduce GAD-Con: the convention where we recorded. We also discuss the basics of Bully Pulpit’s Fiasco, and choose which playset we’re going to play. We settle on Home Invasion. We begin the process of creating characters, and just enjoy shenanigans in general.
Some references you hear include Misfits and the Flight of the Conchords song, “Business Time.” There’s also some references to the ongoing campaign we were playing at the time, Terra Proximus.
As promised, here is the first episode of our Thursday throwback series! This time, we’re going back to 2013 to play a fun story-game, Fiasco from Bully Pulpit games. The name of the scenario is “Home Invasion.”
In this episode, we begin the process of developing our characters!
