January 09, 2022Episode #92: Salvage Union - The Downing of the Atychos Pt. 2 (Drunken Storyteller Livestream)
Spoilers for the Salvage Union Quickstart Adventure: The Downing of the Atychos
Show Notes
This week, Fiona is joined by David, Ben, Viv and Rob for ‘Salvage Union’, a post-apocalyptic mech tabletop roleplaying game published by Leyline Press.
The world is dead. Arcologies dot the landscape but are home only to the corporate elites and those who serve them. Those who wish for freedom live instead out in the wastes, eking out a living amid the dust storms, drought, and the monsters that plague the landscape.
The more enterprising see a third way. A collective of like-minded folk, not content with waster life, or Corpo serfdom. A collective with the desire to realise their own destiny. Looks like it’s time to join - Salvage Union.
You can find out more information about ‘Salvage Union’ on the Leyline Press website. The Kickstarter for Salvage Union is still open until early Jan 2022 so go and back it to get your copy!
You can watch the original unedited live stream on the Drunken Storyteller YouTube channel.
The Drunken Storyteller is a podcast where host David explores the world’s myths, legends and stories, all whilst having a few drinks.
