Bone Throwers Theater

In this episode, visions, dreams, and mysterious voices have lead us to the Sorrow Sworn Fields. Jordan's GM style creeps into his character play, and some self imposed complications come about. But let's be honest, that's not a real departure from the other usual suspects style of play.

In this episode we make our first pass, adding eras (periods) and events. Then Aaron and Jordan take their turns as the lens. We take the opportunity to add to the timeline with all aspects of the game; eras, events, a dictated scene, a roleplayed scene, and legacies.

Aaron's in the GM seat again for this one, and he admits that has tweaked the story in advance to prepare for our normal plot hijacking hijinks. In this first episode of the fantasy game, we introduce our unique characters and set out on an "adventure". But to one character, an "adventure" is something completely different. Either way, this party definitely will be the daisy in a field of roses.

We're on to our next long-term campaign. But before we get to the story, we thought we'd share a bit of the journey of how we get there. This will be our third world we've built for our campaigns using this game, Microscope. Needless to say we really enjoy this method. In this episode we cover our inspirations, pallet (yeses and nos), the big idea for our story, and the bookends of the timeline. System: Microscope, by Ben Robbins CAST:JordanAaronJeremyJohnny

What's it going to take for the Spaceheads to make a decision on their future? A Loan Shark, dirty money, and a couple shady pacts may play a vital role of two in the fate of music in the galaxy.  Seems a bit grandiose? We thought so too, but you have to see how it all turned out.  System: Kingdom, 2nd Edition by Ben Robbins CAST:Aaron – Norival NorstromJeff – Dolan BonnJeremy – Sherman Octavius “Shoc”Johnny – Galvin TransorJordan – Belzan Oxide Music in the background from Epidemic Sound

Well, here it is, the send off for a 4 season campaign. In this episode, we highlight what made this adventure and its characters different from our previous long-term campaigns. All in all, we give this elemental saga an A+, and we hope you do as well.

Crossroad or Crisis? Will the band, The Spaceheads, take a gig on Earth on the next stop on the Space Jam Tour? There are a lot of obstacles on the road to fame and fortune; low funds, label pressure, restraining orders... and a possible line up change. Whether this opportunity is a good thing or not remains to be seen, but there is definitely tension, turmoil, and talking behind each others' back.

In this final play episode of the campaign, the bonds of friendship are put to the test. Some will wither away, some will be cut, some will be strengthened, but not all will survive. Everything may hang in the balance, but one thing is certain... the end is here.

We finish fleshing out the characters in this episode, choosing roles, concepts, descriptions, names, locations, and bonds with other characters. With each element we add, the tension in the kingdom is already mounting. The stage is set for a dramatic tour of the galaxy.

Well, we set out to reunite the party only to split it even further. Someone seems to be following a new directive, and another epic display of elemental powers is the result. But the fallout is going require a leap of faith to escape certain death.

Since we really love world-building during our Bone Throwers Theater sessions, we had a lot of fun kicking off this one-shot, brainstorming on what types of characters and threats we would face in our kingdom. We also decided to define our kingdom as a touring band... in space. Yeah, that's right, another space adventure.  System: Kingdom, 2nd Edition by Ben Robbins CAST:Aaron JeffJeremy Johnny Jordan  Music in the background from Epidemic Sound

The remaining party starts a mad scramble up to the top of the Council building, but it won't be an unhindered attempt. Meanwhile, Jerr Lan faces a challenge of his own, a showdown with 2 Council members and a sought after elemental, and his use of power certainly does not disappoint.

We wrap up this one-shot with a quick commentary on the story, its intricacies, and some of the hints the players either picked up on or missed entirely in the session. We also talk about some of the aspects of the game system that we enjoyed, and how the add-on memory mechanic made this an all around enjoyable run.

Yes, with only a few episodes left in this 4 season campaign, we still love world building, postulating the origins of North Bellasaira. We talk a bit about what we see as possible endings to this story, and get a sneak peek into what Jordan is planning for the next campaign.

There were a lot of twists and turns in this episode leading up to the big showdown with May... or is it spelled Mei, as on player speculates? Magic, gunfire, explosions, and of course a double cross stir things up. But even as the dust just begins to settle, the players discover one final twist in this mission.

Some say that two are better than one, but our players wouldn't... especially when it's TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS in an elemental and innate powers fight. The results of the showdown are plenty of carnage and one party member suddenly in dire straits.

The memories finally start flooding in for this episode, with some key flashbacks as well. As the players sort out the pieces to the puzzle, the characters get some hints that something is definitely "off" about this mission. But will they be aware enough to succeed?

Wow! 100 episodes into this campaign, and it sure is a good one. Floor by floor, uncovering secrets in The Council Headquarters, the team is united once again right as they turn up the heat in order to make their escape.

The heist reveals itself to be more than what was initially thought. Kiddnapping... Rescue Mission? Either was not everyone will make it out alive, but those that do will definitely have to fight their way out with what they hope are adequate weapons from the armory.  System: Shadowrun, 4th Edition by Catalyst Game Labs CAST:Aaron – DwarfJohnny – OrkJordan – ElfMike – TrollJeremy — The Game Master Music in the background from Gavin and Marshall Parker and Fesliyan Studios

In the race through the sewers to reach Sam, a new threat... or ally... (who knows) is discovered. As if infiltrating the city center wasn't hard enough. Jordan seems to be throwing up flares to distract the characters from their main objective. And one discovery in particular is quite compelling.
