Fire n Dice

We start off the new year in a new land. Ningen have ventured out beyond Kamigan into a godless land named Marukah. The frontier is harsh, unforgiving, and the land holds a secret that the natives fight to protect.  There is an evil that has been awakened and the citizens of Ferotown must work with the natives and the Shinsengumi both if everyone is to survive.

It has been a year since Fire n Dice has had a recording. Times have been tough, but I'm happy to bring you more in the ever expanding world of Asian fantasy, now mixed with Western frontier. Look for many new episodes and projects to come in the near future. Thank you for listening.

It's been a long time since the last time I've posted and this year has been a real test on everyone. Just so you know, I haven't been on the blog site because I'm still trying to put together a solid gaming group, which isn't always easy, but I have been busy in the meantime. So let me just go over a few things that I've been working on and will hopefully have much more for you as 2013 approaches.

First off, Owlcon 2013 is coming up mid February and I will be running Monsters and Other Childish Things as one of my games. I'm running a modded version of it I developed based off the Shin Megami Tensei line of Japanese games. The two games just seemed to complement each other. If you're not familiar with the series, it centers around a group of kids, usually teenagers, who get a strange program on their phone that allows them to summon demons as the world around them is being destroyed. The players use demons to fight other demons and uncover a dark and interesting story.

The second game I'm running is Big Eyes Small Mouth, and this time I'll be running in my frontier setting of Marukah. It's called Six Gun Samurai and you play as warriors sent in to investigate strange happenings in a small town. If you've ever seen Sukiyaki Wester Django you'll have an idea of the kind of setting I'm going for.

After I get those time sensitive projects taken care of, I have two stories I'm in the process of writing, two game systems I'm working on writing up and publishing, a group I'm putting together for more campaigns and recordings, and continually developing the world I began with Anima so long ago.

I will keep you updated as more becomes available. As for recordings, check back after Owlcon, or if I can get players together, much sooner. Believe me I want to play again, too.

1st Anniversary Prize to 1st itunes reviewer. Welcome back to Kamigan via Owlcon as our players continue their quest to keep the town of Cua safe, but a new threat arises as they finally meet up with the mysterious Ghost Fox.

Happy Anniversary to Fire n Dice, it has been a full year since we began this adventure and as such I will be awarding a copy of BESM 2nd edition to the first itunes reviewer (in the continental US). All you have to do is be the first to write a review (preferably a positive one) in itunes and send a copy of that review with your name and mailing address to [email protected] and I will ship out your prize. Limited time only, good through Feb 29, 2012. So spread the word, tell your friends, and come join us at the next con. Rumour has it you might find us at Delta H con this June, stay tuned for more information.

Our players are confronted with brujos from Sinaloa, their pursuers since the events that they cannot recall. How will they survive such a devastating attack?

Also, after this episode was recorded, the players have decided to take a break for holiday events, faire, and preparing for a new family addition. It is undetermined yet when this storyline will continue. Fire n Dice is looking for new players to continue the Kamigan storyline, so leave a comment if you are interested and live in the area. Be sure to find us spinning fire at Renfaire campgrounds, enjoying Oni-con for the first time Oct. 28-30th, and out at Owlcon where I will be running BESM set in the Kamigan universe, and UA set in Sinaloa where our favorite villains originated. Until next time...

After their meeting with Malcolm, our players decide the first step in finding out what they can't remember is to head back to the Menninger Clinic and confront Dr. John Carver. They have no idea what is waiting for them.

The players sit down and have a discussion on the direction of the group. Jester has great plans for a new campaign, one that sounds rather exciting to play, and will be a welcome relief to me, seeing as how I GM more often than I get to play. I introduce a new system to continue the Kamigan campaign I began with Anima.

Fire n Dice began as a means to separate itself from Swing and a Miss initially by hosting campaign episodes. We still plan on keeping to that ideal, but things have to change, as they often do. At first we planned on Anima, Wild Talents, and Dragonlance, but I was forced to change headings and fill in with Unknown Armies. Now it appears that the Wild Talents game will be put on hold until further notice, but in its place Jester will be running a new campaign, either for the UA group, or a new group entirely plus Jester and myself. (I am Ghost, by the way, just in case.) Listen to this short episode as we discuss the months ahead in store for Fire n Dice.

With no memory of the last few days, our players must figure out who they can trust and what their enemy is after. Mysterious voices, trashed homes, uncontrolled visions, and strange music are their only clues as they begin searching for the truth.

Imagine you wake up in a bed that is not your own, in a room you don't recognize, you barely even remember who you are, and a tv screen comes on with a video you don't remember recording of you speaking directly to yourself watching the video and telling you who you really are. That is what happened to Javar, Freya, Lilith, Patrick, and Ben in this introduction episode of Greg Stolze's Unknown Armies.
