Terrible Warriors

Justin connects with Austin Taylor and Amanda Kahl to learn more about their horror game about returning to the spooky school you grew up in and how it uses colouring and paper dolls, and no GM, to help tell that story.

The crowd funding campaign will be happening very soon on Kickstarter and you can visit their pre-launch page right now to sign up to be notified for the exact moment that their fundraising campaign begins. Visit kickstarter.com/projects/gameandacurry/deimos-academy

A cult is snatching away Heralds and now the media has a new story, the powers that the old ones will not stop giving to our Heralds are infectious and your family is at risk, YOU are at risk. As fear against the unknown spreads all the pressures of our three characters will collide and what results at the end of this hour… is beautiful. Against all odds our heralds find a way to come together.  This is the final chapter of our Actual Play of Darla Burrow’s Dear Great Cuthulu PLEASE Stop Giving Me Super Powers!

We continue where we left of last week and create the Heralds that we will play in our Actual Play of Dear Great Cthulhu, Please Stop Giving Me Superpowers! 

In this episode we go from having no characters, no setting, and nothing to worry about to be being embroiled in a tense community where if we lose focus for even one day we may literally be devoured by a mysterious void that lives next door!

We return from our holiday break and are very excited to break open and play the latest game from Darla Burrow, who you may remember used to run our Edmonton Crew in years past!

Dear Great Cthulhu, Please Stop Giving Me Superpowers is all about building a support group and a community while also being given randomly generated powers from ancient beings with unknowable designs.

In this episode we’ll go over the game’s premise and begin the prep work to start creating the world we’ll play in and the Heralds we will play as…

Today we’re going to do something a little bit different. We’re on a short break and before we return with new recordings of our tabletop sessions but before we return we wanted to bring to your attention our friends over at “Me and Steve Talk RPGs” 

We’re helping each out by hosting a feed swap. A few weeks ago they hosted the first episode of our Symbaroum campaign, At The Foot of the Titans, and now this week we’re returning the favour by hosting an interview that they conducted with, TTRPG system designer, Jay Little.

Me and Steve Talk RPGs was born out of those conversations that inevitably happen in the parking lot or driveway outside AFTER the gaming sessions. The two Steve’s host a podcast that is a grab bag of TTRPG related topics, stories, tips and tricks with interviews with makers and shakers from our community. Just like us they release new episodes every Tuesday so if you like what you’re about to hear check them out and follow and subscribe to their podcast wherever it is you like to listen. 

In this episode, from the Me and Steve Talk RPGs podcast, the two Steves meet with Jay Little, a system designer who has worked on Warhammer Fantasy Rolplaying, FFG Star Wars, and also designed the 2d20 system for Modiphious, which you might recall powered our Star Trek: Adventures games… so he’s left an indelible mark on the ttrpg world. 

Enjoy the listen, and we’ll be back next week when we return from our extended holiday break with our own actual play session playing Darla Burrow’s “Dear Great Cuthulu, PLEASE Stop Giving Me Super Powers!”

We wrap up our incredible gaming session of Symbaroum by inviting back to the table Symbaroum’s co-creator, Mattias Johnsson Haake.

This conversation was recorded fresh of the heels of our August recording sessions so while the players and GM knew how things went later in the campaign Mattias himself had only listened to the first two episodes. But after all the fun we had playing his game we absolutely had to invite him to join us for our post-game debrief.

This hour will not be your typical interview with a game creator. We heap love on him and gush about the game and share our favorite story point and Mattias opens up about the design choices and some of his favourite themes in the game and how Symbaroum formed into what it has become.

This is the final episode, for now, in our 12 part campaign of Symbaorum. If you haven’t listened to the complete playlist we highly suggest you go back into our feed and listen to them all before this interview, because we are going to spill the beans all over your spoiler alert.

Someone has paid a group of ruffians to kill us.

Thistle Hold is saved, for now. The barricade has been secured around the sinkhole and the townsfolk continue with their lives. But only Elindra, Iandromei, and Veurd know about Anadea’s warnings about a darkness that threatens Thistle Hold before she was swallowed up by the sinkhole.

Seeking answers, and lacking knowledge, the trio set out to meet with the two mysterious witches who arrived yesterday moments before the Bronze Well spoke.

This morning there’s more than tea that’s brewing…
