BTT One-Shot: Kingdom, Ep. 4

What’s it going to take for the Spaceheads to make a decision on their future? A Loan Shark, dirty money, and a couple shady pacts may play a vital role of two in the fate of music in the galaxy. Seems a bit grandiose? We thought so too, but you have to see how it all turned out.

BTT One-Shot: Kingdom, Ep. 3

Crossroad or Crisis? Will the band, The Spaceheads, take a gig on Earth on the next stop on the Space Jam Tour? There are a lot of obstacles on the road to fame and fortune; low funds, label pressure, restraining orders… and a possible line up change. Whether this opportunity is a good thing or not remains to be seen, but there is definitely tension, turmoil, and talking behind each others’ back.

BTT One-Shot: Kingdom, Ep. 1

Since we really love world-building during our Bone Throwers Theater sessions, we had a lot of fun kicking off this one-shot, brainstorming on what types of characters and threats we would face in our kingdom. We also decided to define our kingdom as a touring band… in space. Yeah, that’s right, another space adventure.

Here’s a quick commentary on our play session of Lasers & Feelings. We talk about the mechanics of the games system and what tweaks we would explore to give more room to all aspects of the game. We also make comparisons to other one-shots we have run, such as Fiasco, Inspectres, and Star Wars. All said and done, we enjoyed it, and hope you did as well.
