💭 What happened last week? 💭
Last Week in MEGAGAME! Thank you so much to everyone who came to megagame last week. It was so much fun, and absolutely chaotic in the best possible way! Find some highlights as summarised by the control team.
- The USA Collapsing and becoming the NewSA
- The UN having the shadiest session ever, where they collaborated with the future humans to destroy some people they didn't like.
- Oh yeah turns out there weren't actually aliens just humans from the future
- The appearance of Dr Kermit T. Frog at the international science conference after the fall of the USA was certainly a highlight
- Aliens quickly doing a last minute hit and run of an island of billionaires before they left
- Dolphins.
Last Week in RPGS!
- Gate: Continuum - A series of highlights from this games: Isaac still fails to find a DS charger; Jessica walks into a bank, claims to be Marilyn Monroe, withdraws $100, and leaves; Duncan is kidnapped by a robotic bin.
- Roll for Shoes - A teddy bear, a barbie doll, a hungry hungry hippo and a slinky go on a mission for some batteries to save their toy friends. Acquiring two sets of human car keys and driving both cars along the way, the crew made their way to the neighbour's house in order to steal some batteries from the toys on the other side of the road. It was a chaotic mess, but the toys came out victorious. We don't need to worry about the minor property damage incurred on the way.
- Alien: Chariot of the Gods - As with most Alien RPGs, there was a lot of death. One original PC lived to tell the tale. That's it.
Extra Bonus End Bit
It's time for Feldspar Buttons Firebreath III's Funky Beloved Fun (the obnoxiously named minigame)!!! The answer to last week's letter scramble was of course 'NETRUNNER'. This week we're back with another very zoomed in photo. What RPG book is depicted? Can't wait to see your guesses!
Hydrate, don't diedrate, have a good week, and I'll see you next time! 💜
