Character creation and content discussion for season one of Friendly Fire, a Call of Cthulhu actual play.

The detectives of the Arkham Police Deparment are called to investigate a strange death on a university campus. But when they arrive they find more mysteries than they anticipated: A strange non-organic substance instead of blood, a woman in a coma, rumors of weird experiments, and entirely too many lemonade stands.

Happy Halloween!  Four colonists attempt to escape LV-426 in a session of Alien: The RPG by Free League. Jacob H serves as the Game Mother for this tense sci-fi horror experience.

Having collected data on the smugglers' operations from the hidden base's computers, the Travellers seek to escape the deep space station. Their plans are dashed by the unexpected arrival of the Zhodani battlecruiser Hhoosrazna.

The Butterfly's Gambit jumps into deep space to find the Brothers of Farbauti's hidden base. The crew infiltrates the smugglers' apparent headquarters by bluffing their way in.

Their disguise still intact, the Travellers take care of some last-minute business before at last turning their sights on the Brothers of Farbauti!

The Travellers sift through the clues to discover Urshukaan's killer, but virtually everyone has a motive, even Dyna!

Have a taco and get ready for the latest Geek at Arms!  Bryan starts us off with his recent experience playing the Seafall legacy game and his journey into Middle Earth in The One Ring RPG. Mike gives us his latest PAX Report with trinket trading, the Omara Scent and the soon-to-be-released Cat Secretary. James rounds things out with his report from Blade Show Texas and his playthrough of Far Cry 5 and his thoughts on the Fallout television adaptation.  The trio takes on the second-to-last of their The Last Film Club* series with a discussion of 1982’s nostalgic treasure, The Last Unicorn. * It’s not really the last, we're just calling it that. We’ve got plenty more Film Clubs in us.

A colorful collection of gamblers embark upon the Butterfly's Gambit, including the Travellers' old friends Bazen Durana and Troitska. As the title suggests, it's not long before a foul murder is done, and the Travellers must solve the case before the jump ends and the culprit escapes.

The adventurers struggle to get through the last remaining traps and confront Acererak in the heart of his sanctum!

A cursed Wish has turned Gudrun into a full-blooded troll, and Rusla now faces her alone! The rest of the party has their hands full fighting room full of animated swords and shields.

Gudrun just really likes running through mist-filled doorways. The adventurers suspect that the creature they killed wasn't the real Acererak, so they continue to explore the Tomb in hopes of finding either the lich or his vast treasure.

The warriors penetrate deeper into the Tomb to confront the Horror in person.

The adventurers unexpectedly find a holy place deep in Acererak's lair. But are they willing to make a sacrifice to keep moving forward?

The explorers break every rule of old-school dungeoneering in the Hall of Colors.
