Episode 44: MESSAGES FOR RUNESLINGER ON THE ROAD

Summary

Published: September 24, 2023

Another of Runeslinger’s Reflections from the Road

Thanks to our callers, FreeThrall, DarkFluid, Che Webster, Eloy Cintron, Joe Richter, and Jason Connerly. We have messages pertaining to the current topic of Immersion and how it intersects with our cultures and procedures of play. We have a response from Umbramancer to a call from the last episode by Jason. Umbramancer, or Eloy Cintron, was featured in the episode before that. That response connects to our D&D example episode about story as product vs story as by-product. Finally, we have some messages about Ubiquity in general and our recent Hollow Earth Expedition episode in particular.

Episode 20: Sky Riders and the Silent Outpost – A Venus Chronicles Serial

Summary

This Actual Play session was run as an interlude during our time playing the ‘What Comes Home to Roost‘ campaign as Colonial Marines for Free League’s Alien RPG. It was also around the time that I started putting together the 7-part series of blog posts and podcast episodes on preparation for improvisation that comprise Episodes 13-19 on this site.

This session demonstrates a different example of the use of improvisation toward a specific genre and player-experience goal for atmosphere and context, but unlike our goals for Alien, this is high adventure pulp heroics in an implausible sword and planet setting of super-science and derring-do. Some of the techniques are similar, some are identical, and some are divergent from what we have discussed in the series so far.

This session uses one of our favorite systems (Ubiquity) to support a setting of my own invention. This was our second foray into my version of Venus that never was, but should have been. I hope that you enjoy it~

If you would like to watch this on ⁠YouTube⁠ rather than just listen to it, the link is:

⁠Sky Riders and the Silent Outpost⁠

If you would like the watch the original session:

If you would like to listen to the podcast version of the first session, with its commentary on our play, that is Episode 6 of this podcast.
