BTT WF 1.5: Ruckus on the Rooftop

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.

BTT WF 1.2: 4th Floor

On the resort planet of Signa 9, the party checks out a popular vacation spot of their crew-mate. But it appears that this trip was not a relaxing one for Vireo. Clues point to an altercation with a group that has a bit of an infamous reputation in the galaxy.

BTT WF 1.1: Shadow Sparring

We are finally here with the inaugural adventure for our new campaign. A life or death situation threatens an outlying space colony, then a life or death situation threatens one of our crew members. The characters turn to each other encouragement and a bit of tough love to help them face the challenges in front of them.

BTT WF Prologue: Fiasco 3

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 really see the dynamics of the group start to take shape with some underlying conflicts that will certainly add to the adventures to come.

Round 1 around the table gave us some great establishing scenes, with some flashbacks, and the initial meetings of the crew members. Already, we are getting the flavors of tension that will surround a few of these characters. The dynamics are intriguing, so the story is sure to be compelling moving forward. Enjoy!

BTT Campaign World Building: Reliquary, Ep. 3

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.

BTT Campaign World Building: Reliquary, Ep. 2

We explore a few different locations in this episode with varying results. We get accustomed to the rule set as we create some rumors, legends, and even some questions that unfortunately will not get answered in THIS game. However, there are a couple threads that are weaving their way into the fabric of this world that we’re sure will bring some interesting texture to our upcoming campaign.

BTT Campaign World Building: Microscope, Ep. 7

After our first time recording a game of Microscope, we STILL hadn’t had enough world building to satisfy us. So we discuss what comes next in terms of honing in on the “era” we will play in, and character creation. We reflect on some of our collaborative story-telling choices from past campaigns, and FINALLY decide on and reveal the name of the upcoming campaign. Listen and find out.

Another round of play to flesh out the world in this episode. We decided to do a fair amount of dictated scenes this time, diving deep to look at how an individual character might be affected and even change the course of history. We also learned something new about the rules of this game.

BTT Campaign World Building: Microscope, Ep. 3

One more quick round of play for this initial world build. Jeremy takes a turn as the lens, and Jordan closes it out as the legacy. With that combination, our timeline ended up with a “dark” era… or period. We can’t decide which term to use. But on thing that we ARE certain of this that we love this world we are creating so far. We hope you will too.

We’re on to our next long-term campaign. But before we get to the story, we thought we’d share a bit of the journey of how we get there. This will be our third world we’ve built for our campaigns using this game, Microscope. Needless to say we really enjoy this method. In this episode we cover our inspirations, pallet (yeses and nos), the big idea for our story, and the bookends of the timeline.
