Ghosts on a Train

The Talkbacks we've been doing on Patreon are now going to be posted there early and then put on the Main feed between the end of a Line and the Layover for the start of a new one. This will give us a chance to talk through and reflect on a full Line, as well as giving Greg more time so they don't fall behind on any edits. Enjoy a minimally edited discussion of the creation of Ghosts on a Train!

Now that the Line Bulls have encountered ghost Taji, tested Cricket the Whisper's Spirit Locator, and uncovered the secret of The Creature "Friday Feeling", the cast of Ghosts on a Train discuss episodes 56 to 58 along with guest Jaci Seelagy. We discuss Cricket's origins as a Blades in the Dark character, whether they would do another in game holiday, the consequences of killing Taji the Tank Engine, and how Greg would run this Line differently. The gang also discusses the deep sadness that the past few Lines have contained, and what it means for the future!

Content Warnings: Spiders (~5:00-8:00)- Drix falls into a web made of spiderwebs, tries to pet a giant spider, is accidentally bitten by it, and ultimately rides it to safety, Child Neglect(~17:15-17:39)-A little girl talks about her father regularly leaving her outside all night, Child Death(~19:20-35:40)- The little girl has been dead the whole time, and we later learn she died from exposure after her father left her outside

The strange creature reminiscent of Ringmaster Friday Feelig exerts a strange power over the Big Top of the abandoned Friday Feelig's Carnival. Through the Ghost Field, the past can be viewed and even touched by the present and there can be no doubt that the figures the Line Bulls of the Pride meet in the Big Top are from the past and yet- the Echoes of the Ghost Field bear the imprints of reality, while everything under the Big Top is warped in a way that betrays the damage of human perception and memory. Drix makes a many-legged friend. Pip clowns around. Cricket puts lightning in her veins. Andrel gives a hug and feels worse for it.

As with every episode marked PARTY, this episode can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Thanks for your patience, partygoers! We weren't even planning to release on April 1st this year, but hope you enjoy this 58th episode of Goats on a Train. It's the Feast of Gratitude in the Imperial City, and our goats want in! Pip beats loudly. Andrel is burdened with knowledge. Drix changes clothes.

Content Warnings: Spiders (~45:10-45:40, ~50:15-52:30, ~58:30-1:01:40)- Drix is menaced by a giant spider over a net of webs, Drowning (~1:05:20 to the end)- Cricket is trapped in a large bottle of water and we end on a cliffhanger of darkly accepting her fate

Bristling against the strange requests of an employer often comes with being a Line Bull. But in the case of a Bull's side employment, they have much more freedom than when they are on the rails and at the mercy of the conductor. For this very reason many Bulls eventually leave the Imperial Railways to bring their talents to those who need them, though certain experiences leave others choosing the opposite path. Andrel grips her lightning hook tight. Pip eats a corndog. Cricket ignores a warning. Drix hangs around.

Content Warning, Gunshots (~49:10, ~57:16)- A ghost has a ghost revolver that shoots but leaves little scorchmarks instead of bulletholes

Cricket, the cunning Whisper, takes no time off for the Feast of Gratitude. Hired by the thief known as Gimmy the Snatch, she shows kindness to the spirits that slip through the cracks. But Cricket is a Scoundrel, and her kindness should not be confused for naivete. And the Line Bulls of the Pride of Duskwall are awfully late reporting to her. Drix loses some candy. Pippin is found out. Andrel reveals some new knowledge.

Content Warning, Dehumanization and Intense Violence (~29:05-31:18)- The Physicker's Curse activates and repeats the verbal abuse written into it. They are physically harmed by the curse, and though it is excruciating they are not left dead or with lasting physical damage.

The city of Sevrin becomes the winter home of the Pride of Duskwall, as the Feast of Gratitude coincides with the harshest cold across the Imperium. Imperial Railways employees enjoy an extended holiday past their typical Layover. Andrel makes an innocent discovery and the punishment is unearned. Drix makes a door. Pippin fails to avoid fish.

The Ghosts on a Train crew play Ryan Khan's The Festival of Deep Winter, the storytelling game of creating and exploring a winter holiday. Expanding on the already existing Gratitude celebration from Blades in the Dark, the gang create the customs of the Feast of Gratitude and then explore the previous year's Feast as their Line Bull PCs from the main show.
