In the wake of the provoked excessive destruction, the crew is in need of another lead in their investigation. Things are looking up as a mysterious character is spotted on a nearby rooftop. How will the party’s second encounter with the opposition play out? Certainly it has to be better that the previous outcome… right? …please?!?

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 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.

Since we are actually going to spend quite some time with these characters in a long-term campaign, we used the “soft tilt” to be sure that they were not utterly destroyed after another round of play of Fiasco.

We wrap up the gameplay with a couple big discoveries, and we really leaned into the collaborative nature for these final moments. We then give some brief commentary on the game and some things we DID modify for our world building purposes, and some things we WOULD modify if we played it again in the future. Finally, we discuss the last steps we need to take before we launch into our next long-run campaign.
