💭 What happened last Term/Over Spring Break? 💭
Last term in RPGs
-
(OUR RPG ) name not yet decided: a group play testing a new system a mix of alien and candela formed the circle of the Smoke and Steel. A soldier, an engineer, a criminal, a medic and a scholar take on a mission to which success meant they were set for life and failure meant they had to disappear or the third option was truly death. Their mission: stop this new tech from getting out in the word, dispose of those who could recreate it and stop any potential testing of the tech. Heading to a mansion the group explored the house in disguise, poisoning the baron and creating mustard gas in a storage room. But this wasn’t the right place. So to the testing grounds! Here they found the tech, killed guards and scientists alike with the mustard gas. Building up stress they jumped into a helicopter taking some stress reducing drugs to keep a level head and shoot down the other helicopters setting off the bomb that one dropped and making it out all alive but there was something wyrd about this explosion. (No that’s not a spelling mistake, I said Wyrd.) (Highlight courtesy of me!)

Last term series in Gate: Continuum: The gang meet a second real historical figure named Edward Kelley and end up summoning a demon Daemon. They then meet (and disrupt one of the scams of) the original Bentlea Maverock, who possibly dies blowing up a ship full of what are known as "genocide bombs". The Bentlea Maverock we're familiar with gets increasingly worried whenever religion gets brought up. The Bronze Age almost doesn't collapse until it absolutely does. Resident Ood Grey Fox goes Red-eye increasingly often, killing several. For the first time in this Doctor Who RPG, a session is set in present day England. Sort of. Isaac Harker comes up with a genius idea to both sort out the incredibly fucked situation of the village of Degolcombe and the Green Knight, and also to deal with the Daemon that has been stalking them. The party wonders where they have heard the name "Danak Gamma" before, until the Daleks show up to annihilate all life on said planet. Duncan Balfour goes mad with responsibility before getting to detonate the genocide bomb to wipe out the Daleks, with no possible consequences for disrupting established history… (Highlight courtesy of Ex-Pres Matthew on the discord)
Easter Holidays Boardgames
- Against Sweden level 2, with the river and ocean spirit. We got 18 blights in one ravage, without even having one blighting twice because of Sweden level 1. And we only had 2 blights left to put. So 16 extra blights after we lost. And no, we didn't try to get the most blights we could, we actually could have had like 5 more this turn if we didn't do anything. After the first 2 blights and with putting all the blights we needed. And we both got 4 major powers each, we still couldn't do anything. (Highlight courtesy of Maëlle)
Please keep posting highlights to the discord we love seeing what you all get up to in our society!
Extra Bonus End Bit
Sneak the Snake is a placement name but should it be their real name ?? Help us name our sneak friend. There will be a poll in the discord where you can vote to keep Sneak! Or give them a new name !! This will be open for 3 day!! If the latter is chosen then a thread will be created in the discord for new name suggestions!! (please don’t be too cursed!)
