KULT: And the Rocket's Red Glare, with Rollspelsklubben Apr 23, 2019

Show notes

"The Trump campaign is getting ready to make its final push towards the White House. For months, he has been playing to the basest urges of the American populace: the need for more. More safety, more money, more guns, more of everything. His followers have been whipped into a frenzy, waiting to strike at the polls. The whole country is wound as tight as a fiddle-string, and that’s exactly the way Trump wants it.

Maybe you needed the university credits. Maybe your parents supported his campaign and had an “in”. For whatever reason, you were one of the few chosen to intern in the executive half of the campaign, with Trump himself. It was stressful, and that’s what you expected. His smiles are a little too wide, his words are a little too rushed, and his running mate is a little too quiet. That’s all normal, right? It’s just stress. Stress will make you see things that aren’t there – especially on election night."

We had the amazing privilege of recording the talented Jacqueline Bryk's new KULT: Divinity Lost scenario "And the Rocket's Red Glare", together with Isak Jansson from Sweden's largest actual play podcast "Rollspelsklubben" as a guest player. Joining us was also our dear friend Jenny Bremberg.

The scenario is for sale in Helmgast's webshop here:

The Great Vilhaim Heist 01: The Dragon Apr 18, 2019

Show notes

Over the coming few weeks we will be playing the adventure "The Great Vilhaim Heist" for Scarred Lands, a setting for Dungeons & Dragons by Onyx Path Publishing. We are again joined by The Gentleman Gamer Matthew Dawkins who will be our Dungeon Master for this adventure.

"Scarn. This world is not what it once was. Broken and battered, it was mauled in a great conflict that raged across its surface for years. The titans — primal beings, forces of nature that created and shaped Scarn — warred with their children, the gods, who had learned to draw power from
the faith of lowly mortals wandering the face of Scarn. They clashed across the world, amassing armies using the creatures they created or who worshipped them. On one side were the “titanspawn,” twisted monsters and foul creatures loyal to the titans; on the other, the “divine races,” the mortals, banded together to aid the gods. Over time, the gods were successful and the titans subdued, but never destroyed. The gods are the sole rulers of Scarn now, fueled by the devout worship of their mortal followers.

Yet though the war is over, the damage remains, and it is for this reason that Scarn is now known as the Scarred Lands. That great conflict, known as both the Divine War and the Titanswar, has been over for a century and a half, but the healing process has only just begun. Much of Scarn’s topography has been twisted and warped in unnatural ways. And the titans, though dormant, are not dead. Welcome... to Scarred Lands"

Stormbringer, with The Grognard Files Apr 11, 2019

Show notes

We are very happy and pleased to bring you this special episode of Red Moon Roleplaying where we got to play Chaosium's Stormbringer RPG from 1981. The game is written by industry legends Ken St. Andre and Steve Perrin, and is based on Michael Moorcock's works about Elric of Melniboné, the albino sorcerer who wields the enchanted black blade named Stormbringer. A blade that feeds off of blood and souls.

Gamemaster for this session was none other than Dirk the Dice from the excellent podcast The Grognard Files, a show that talk bobbins about table-top RPGs from back in the day and today. We are big fans and would definitely recommend you check the show out if you are interested in those magical games that built the hobby in the 80's. You can find the show here: https://thegrognardfiles.com

For now we wish you a pleasant journey to the Young Kingdoms!

DEGENESIS: Voltaic Apr 04, 2019

Show notes

We got the great opportunity to play the gorgeous primal punk RPG DEGENESIS by SIXMOREVODKA with Kyle Willey, who is a freelancer on the game, as our Gamemaster.

"500 years have passed since a swarm of asteroids ushered in the end humanity. Earth is engulfed by a new ice age. But Mankind hasn‘t given up just yet. From the ashes of a destroyed civilization, a new one has risen. Cults, clans and tribes are fighting for dominance in a world that is being reborn. Apocalyptic sects raise fortresses in the landscape. Clans form new cities. Border towns rise from the settling asteroid dust. A whole people are on the move to harvest the artifacts of the lost generations. To rebuild earth in a new and glorious fashion.

But in the shadows of the craters something is moving. A strange virus that was traveling underneath the icy shell of the asteroids has started infecting humanity‘s DNA. The virus, called the Primer, is starting to mutate people who get in touch with it, transforming them, turning them into a new apex predator, a new race of human beings.

It‘s the birth of Homo Degenesis."

Show notes

Let us tell you of the days of High Adventure!

Thanks to our friends at MODIPHIUS we got the opportunity to sit down for a session of their game, Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of, at Dragonmeet in London. This epic tale of heroism pits our unwitting heroes Bracus and Leonitus against nefarious foes in a city with a dark and sinister secret. The two have come in pursuit of coin, but will they leave the city with more than that? And will they leave it... alive?
