  • Wallflower Ep. 1: May You Live In Interesting Times

    The discovery of the crews of the MSMC Pandora and the RM Van Winkle changed everything.


    Humanity is at war, and they are losing. Deimos and their NHPs are closing in on Union space, and, in an act of desperation, the pan-human governmental body has reached out to five of the greatest that humanity has to offer--who happen to not only be Lancers, but soldiers, mercenaries, linguists, scientists, and diplomats. They are spirited away to a long-forgotten world, home to the deepest, darkest pits of humanity's legacy amongst the stars. The clock is ticking, and our crew must not only reckon with the planet of Hercynia, and its people. 

    This arc stars @ReedPlays as the GM, @CatlingGun as Windy, Kathleen of @PeachGardenGames as Valise, @akinomiiart as Sovereign, August as Cockroach, and Zwei as Taipan. Editing by the amazing @ianmauldin of @shrimpandcrits. "Deimos Theme" by @am_ridz_music, "Wallflower Theme" and other music by @ianmauldin.

  • Amnesia Ep. 5: Lightstealer

    Who are we, without our memories? What are we if memories are all we have? The truth of Project Gemini and our crew's origins has been laid bare as the final chapter of Amnesia comes to a close. A familiar face offers partnership and revenge, but at what cost? In the wake of these painful memories, uncertain futures, and uneasy alliances, a choice must be made, or our heroes may find themselves between a chimera and outer space. To save their friends, one lancer will make the ultimate sacrifice.
