For this final battle with the story’s B.B.E.G, we pull out out the stops. Quick Actions, Feature Actions, High Watch are all employed against enemies seen and unseen. As the story concludes we get a hint as to why this group may not have the best of reputations. We also give some brief commentary as we wrap up on the system and what has gone into creating the setting, lore, and gameplay mechanics of this upcoming game. We really enjoyed it, and hope you all did too. You’ll probably hear another run of this game in the future!

Victorious in combat, mystery solved; now it’s time to rest and recover by a cozy campfire… right? Nope… that’s never how it goes. In fact, things are a lot more “grim” (hehe) than our characters realize. The true threat is revealed in this episode, and it might be a lot more than our “heroes” want to take on. I mean, the words “run, hide, fight… in that order” were used, but let’s see if that’s the way things shake out.

Combat, this episode is all about combat! We get full-on into the mechanics of the system, and occasionally break to discuss the differences in the types of damage dealt, ammunition and armor, and the flexibility and creativity the system offers in a player’s choice of weapons and attacks.

The party sets out from haven of Shadevale to start their quest, albeit reluctantly for some members. The tension quickly skyrockets as things get “weird beyond weird”. Aside from the story, we do get some pretty good glimpses into the mechanics of the system to include “try your odds”, “stress”, and “morale.”

This one-shot kicks off with the FOUR HUNDREDTH, yes 400th, episode of the podcast! So of course we needed to make it a special one. We are play-testing a game that is still in development with a guest GM, and friend of the show, Mike. While we create characters in this episode, he shares glimpses and insights into the mechanics of the game, some of the steps that were taken in developing the system, along with a few inspirations for this “post-historic” world.
