Pen & Paper Bullshit

Its time to kidnap/interrogate/eat god.

 

13th Age: Lost to Light will return soon, following our next campaign!

The cell takes some much needed downtime and do not start any new revolutions, make someone an accidental god, or commit any crimes. This is a very normal session.

New Port, the Empire's youngest city, is celebrating the Festival of Lanterns, an ancient tradition dating from before the 1st Age. Somewhat worried about the condition of their passengers, the Plump Vertex suggests that they take a short vacation and enjoy the unique holiday. Of course, they immediately get caught up in a world changing play. 

 

As mentioned in the episode, there won't be a new episode next Friday; most of the players will be participating in Garbage Day in an effort to raise fund for the National Network of Abortion Funds. If you like terrible things read with enthusiasm and can give to a worthy cause, we'd love to see you there!

A group of weirdos plans to steal the Lance of Victory, a powerful holy relic owned by the Church of Light... er... wait haven't we done this before? The gang decides to retrace their steps and do things right this time, firstly by stealing an incredibly cursed dagger and kidnapping a professor before someone else can kidnap him. Trust us, it makes sense.

The cell takes some mandated downtime after their ghostly mistakes caused the entire city to become haunted. Sheshu has a magic show, Diedai gets noir, and Sprig spends some time with the lads. Meanwhile, the nameless agent undertakes an act of espionage.

The party sits down for several talks; Hugh and Blaze get metaphysical, Dawn and Hugh confront Teus about why, exactly, a 60 year old human man feels safer on a sentient flying ship filled with wanted criminals, and, finally, Hugh reaches out to an old, old friend to get some answers.

Spire is flooded with ghosts and experiencing a crackdown of unprecedented proportions; to make things even more complicated, the Ministry has tasked the cell with sneaking in a gnollish ambassador to begin alliance talks between the Empire and the rebels. All the cell has to do is get him to the Heart unnoticed, which is easier said than done.

Character creation for our next campaign; JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Bodies in Motion. We're playing Tendencies, by Dusty De Leon, which is rad as fuck and, if you like anime, something you should buy! The campaign will be starting in a month or so and will be posted alternating Wednesdays, but we did character creation a bit early so we could get a feel for each other's characters. Lots of JoJo's talk, discussion of mechanics, and musical references! Hope you're as excited as we are!

 

Intro: Naked Silver, written by Kiyomi Kumano and sung by Jin Hashimoto.

Drakkenhall, the City of Monsters; ruled over by the Three, allies of the Tyrant Emperor. Also the target of one Lady Balentine, a fusion of a demon and a blue dragon, created by the Blue's experiments into demonic fusion. So, when the Plump Vertex flies over the region, it is not completely unexpected that the Lady will contact the people that freed her; what is unexpected is the news that the Three are creating some sort of super weapon out of a particular holy grove...

Its time to attack and dethrone god! It has all been leading up to this, every heist, every nearly failed plan, every Choice Zone; all so that the Speaker in Light and their corrupt church can finally fall.
