It’s the first half of our actual play of Exceptionals by Gar Atkins (@Sahoni_Stuff)! Our three mutants genos just want to hang out in nature, help children, and make video games, but the area’s indifference to a coal-burning power plant spurs them to action.

In this episode we start our actual play of ACWtM with Stephanie playing Petunia “Tune” Petalowski, an indie rock fixture in the city of New Arcadia who never made it big as a musician and never made it big as a superhero, but she looks after the scene with her music and her heroics. Ceci is playing the city of New Arcadia and its neighborhoods of Kayfabe, VR Heights, NOSAD, and Millenium Square, along with the NPCs who live there. Fiona is the villain… we don’t know anything about them yet.
