What Am I Rolling?

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.

Show Notes

This week, Fiona is joined by Tristen, Dirk and special guest GM Rob from the Realm of Fire podcast for 'Vurt: The Tabletop Roleplaying Game' published by Ravendesk games!

'Vurt' is an RPG based on the visionary and hallucinatory science fiction novel of Jeff Noon.

Amid the glass-strewn streets of the lethal and anarchic Manchester England of the near future, players ingest slender Vurt feathers to travel to parallel worlds as vivid, unique, and unpredictable as our wildest dreams.

But they’re no mere fantasies. These worlds - and all the wonders and horrors they contain - are as real, and every bit as dangerous, as the one you were born in.

Show Notes

This week, Fiona tries out some backstory prompts and activities from ‘The Ultimate RPG Character Backstory Guide’ by James D’Amato.

So you’ve chosen your class, bought your weapons, and rolled for your stats, and you’re now the proud owner of your own RPG avatar. But before you begin your adventure, there’s so much more you can do with your character to make them unique!

Just how evil are they? What does their dating profile look like? Where did they get that scar? What do they want for his birthday?

With fill-in-the blank narratives, prompts, and fun activities, James D’Amato’s ‘The Ultimate RPG Character Backstory Guide’ will help players fully imagine their characters and bring them to life for the ultimate gaming experience!

You can buy your own copy of ‘The Ultimate RPG Character Backstory Guide’ and James’s other work from all good book shops and your F.L.A.G.S.
