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.

CAST:

The group tries to get some inside info on the Fire Drakes and The Council, but the clandestine meeting goes sideways and it seems they might have bitten off more than they can chew. One thing is certain, life in Consiglio as they know it is coming to an end.

CAST:

It's gonna take the superior technical knowledge and the ingenuitive quick wit of the entire crew if they wish to bring the story to a close in this episode. One thing is for sure, their plan could cause lasting cosmic repercussions for the entire planet. But that's a risk you take in letting the dangerous one come up with the plan.

CAST:

In this commentary episode, we discuss some of the looming implications of the on the spot roleplaying choices we have made. Not only do those decisions affect the story, but also how we play the game. We also spend some time describing how our style of play may differ from most roleplaying encounters. It's "collaborative storytelling" where everyone is in the driver's seat and the GM is just "the director in this sham play"... and we love it.

CAST:

In this episode, you can really tell that we thoroughly enjoyed this part of the story as the pop-culture references were quite abundant. The crew takes the entire ship into the mysterious hole in the ground and ultimately find a little more than they bargained for.

CAST:

The "Away Team" finds that the planet is much different than when they were there previously; particularly in it's population. Felix and the doctor work frantically on the ship's "goo crisis", and try to restore everything to working order for the crew's newly formed dangerous plan.

CAST:

A lot is revealed in this episode, about bout elementals and androids. It appears that some character's theories are correct. But even with all this info coming out, there is still quite a bit of confusion and dissension, especially when secret is revealed that puts everyone's lives in danger.

CAST:

For this one-shot series, we enlist an All-star cast (just because we all have J names) for a fun, one-page RPG; Lasers & Feelings. Character creation goes pretty quickly in this game, then we get right into the story, full of mystery and adventure on an alien planet.

CAST:

Here is another commentary episode where we take a look at some of the methods we use for this form of collaborative storytelling, and come to the realization that both GM and players come to the table with "plans" that often get altered before they come to fruition. But still each character (and even a couple NPCs) have their distinct arc that is woven into the overall story... and we always seem to be on the edge of our seats so far. We hope you are enjoying it as much as we are.
