As the campaign begins, three Harlem residents are brought together by a representative of the NAACP, Walter F. White. As he is an investigator, he brings the trio together to act as a problem solving group that can handle some odd jobs and some "odd jobs" that need help around Harlem, but are outside the capacity of an official investigation. Their first assignment is to look into Karl Tempest, a writer for The Crisis who has stopped responding to calls and cashing checks...

Harlem Unbound is by Chris Spivey for Darker Hue Studios & Chaosium, and can be found as both a pdf for the systemless 1st Edition version at Darker Hue's website, and as a pdf or physical book for the Call of Cthulhu 2nd Edition at Chaosium.

Ben takes Dan and Greg through a combat filled "peasant funnel" in our first game of Mork Borg (or any Borg-adjacent game.) A quartet of strangers wake up in an arena, missing most of their things but... "equipped" with weapons. It seems they and others are being forced to fight for their lives for the amusement of others...

Mork Borg, and specifically this scenario, deals with themes of violence, murder, death, income inequality, and violence to animals. Listener discretion is advised.

This is a scenario from Dissident Whispers from Tuesday Knight Games. Dissident Whispers is a collection of scenarios for a variety of games, and was made in support of the BLM movement, where all proceeds go to The National Bail Fund Network. It is available in physical and pdf from Tuesday Knight Games' website.

This campaign will touch on many themes, including slavery, racism, specism, harm to children, and mental health issues, among others. Especially in this episode. Listener discretion is advised.

The crew of the Hypatia are in the midst of a raiding attack to take hostages. They will go after the missing, and as they go after them they will find out what exactly is taking these people, and the grave task ahead of them...

Agents of ALIS is based on the campaign framework Nagalisitu by Caleb Stokes, for Reign second edition by Greg Stolze. As of recording and release of this episode, Reign 2E is still in final stages of development and we are using a Kickstarter backer version of the rules.

What Lurks in the Deep recorded by Jared and Nellie.

Genepals are references from Kyle Carty's Starstreamers from BPB Games.

Adam - GM

Dan - Roscoe Holst - The human pilot of the Hypatia, and descendant of the... legendary? line of Holst, a family that always seems to be near when galactic history changes.

Ethan - Silent Reading - A Murnau spy, perhaps the person most suited to the work of the Library. Whereas his twin brother Cheerful Humming is much more of an open book, Silent Reading keeps to himself, trusting few...

Greg - Kyrt Howling-Echo - A gengineered half-human half-Murnau, he is the former Genepal League champion. Kyrt has "retired" into aiding the Library of Alexandria as a patron. Never without his beloved Genepal Pep Pup, or his second best friend Sol-Edge.

Jared - Captain Kai Uhila - The human captain of the Hypatia. Kai is a bard as is the nature of those who helm the ships that travel the galaxy. A bit of a drunk, a bit of a lech, a bit of a loose cannon, but someone with a strong sense of justice.

Laura - Tema Miles - A humanish logistics & security expert on the Hypatia. She wears her heart on her sleeve, and will rip yours out of your chest if you cross her, the ship, or her young ward Libby.

For both seasons of Ross Payton, Greg Stolze, and James Wallis' RPG podcast Ludonarrative Dissidents, Tech Diff has supported their Kickstarter. Because of this, we were able to sit down with James and Greg for a game. For season one, James ran a game for Greg and Ethan, of an in development RPG called Nancy Drow.

Unfortunately there were hiccups with James' audio, but we had a lovely time regardless. And, as this is a playtest, it takes some time to get going as we go through character generation on mic.

A pair of youths in a world of fantasy heroism have to live without any super powers or fighting skills. What seems like a simple purse-snatching turns into a much bigger problem...

Nancy Drow is still in development. James can be found at his website, and Ludonarrative Dissidents can be found via their podcast.
