Drawn from the Undertow

The cast of Eidolon ISLAND comes together to discuss 13 songs from The Lonely Island, the band that inspired the campaign! In addition, we announce the two upcoming miniseries after Eidolon ISLAND! Eidolon Playlist is usually a Patreon-exclusive show, but we are releasing this episode for all listeners while we get the schedule back up to full-speed!

You can listen to the playlist here!

One of our big ideas in trying to capture the vibe of FromSoft RPGs in a tabletop setting is to incorporate map-making mechanics, to look at games like The Quiet Year or Microscope and tie them directly into more conventional RPG gameplay, so that you are creating a world as you explore it, in order to reproduce that feeling of cautiously feeling out a big, mysterious world full of tantalizing stray threads of a larger story.

This is a very different mode of gameplay than anything we did in EIDOLON, so it makes sense for us to start here and make sure we can build out a strong foundation into these mechanics, so that once we start developing the more familiar facets of the game, we understand how they integrate into these newer concepts.

Last time, we laid out some solid groundwork for how our exploration and map-making mechanics can work. But we need to provide more definition for what you actually do during this part of the game. What are the goals you're pursuing? Why are you exploring, beyond whatever intrinsic fun it might have?

Lonely Island, we got the whole family here
Time to meet the crew, y'all
