BTT One-Shot: The 2600 Club, Ep. 6

This game has been listed as an inspiration for the show since the beginning, and we finally got around to playing it, so we had a lot of fun talking about it in this commentary episode. Although Jordan reveals the amount of homework he did for this story, as usual, the player’s choices didn’t always line up to bring out those details. But it was quite interesting hearing the depth of the story shared after the fact.

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.

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.

We get to hear from the remaining patients as they share their first memories in this episode. Although the group still struggles to discern what a “positive” memory is, they are at least entertaining… some much more than others.

In this next installment of the group therapy session, we take a look at a couple more characters and explore their somewhat positive memories. This time around we see how the patients do not always remember the events clearly, but what might seem like absurdity in the details, might actually be how things panned out.
