Session 15: FNGT - Dragon’s Dungeons Part 3 - Cashing in on Dead Money The Rift is open. The wards are broken and failing. The Shadowy Harbingers of Horror hunger. Can the Adept Mystics thwart them at their threshold to the 6th World? Can the GM hold it together in the face of crude sex jokes and the seemingly infinite rules of Shadowrun 4th Edition?

Session 8: Blood Orchard Part 2 - Attack of the Blood Bot The Red Inquisitor surveyed what his little blood-bot was observing. It had arrived swiftly to find a pathetic town street, with one of his underlings, scorched and dispatched in a grisly fashion. Obviously a Slayer’s work. Ferros was a pompous worm, deserving of such an end, but he also disgraced the Red Inquisition as to fall by the hands of cattle. The Red Inquisitor would contact Ferros’s clan and notify them of the demerits costly removed from their reputation for this insolence. As he brooded over bureaucracy, his attention returned to the Blood-bot’s vision as it came upon some individuals, marching out of a nearby building. Some very interesting people indeed, if the sensors were to be believed. No matter, they’d be squashed for such boldness, obviously here to defy the inquisition, like so many DEAD fools who came before. One way or another, Wilno would see retribution for dealing with rebellion.

Session 14: FNGT - Dragon’s Dungeons Part 2 - The Golden Egg The shadows run deep and the memories of a bygone World are rooted even deeper in this place. The Adept Mystics are on the precipice of secrets and powers wrought by beings both dead and forgotten. What horrors and wonders will they uncover and awaken?

Session 7: Blood Orchard Part 1 - Welcome to Wilno It didn’t take long for the Inquisitorial Department of Nocterra to detect the ripple of energy in the ether. An intrusion to their world wasn’t uncommon, but certainly unwelcomed. Though generally such issues came from more shadowy origins, this intrusion event did not share the usual signatures. Curious, after sending a confirmation of foreign arrival back to the High-Courts in the Old Country, procedure dictated sending a recon missive and hunter/killer drone to gather more intel… and deal with any inconveniences. The Red Inquisitor decided to send one of the more experienced drones. After all, these readings were near Wilno, a place of ill-repute for harboring rebel slayers. Perhaps it could do with some pest control while the “blood-bot” was in the area. The Red Inquisitor bared his fangs in a grin as he pressed the release button for his little toy… Cast:  Chris - GM Dave - Weyland Winchester - Shadow Man in Black Gunslinger (Dave) Aaron - Balthazar Romanov - Half-Elf Wizard-Ranger & Clerical Mage/Herald of Gerald (Aaron)   Musical Credits:  The Pyre by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4504-the-pyre  License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

Session 13: FNGT - Dragon’s Dungeons Part 1 - Hunted and Hunting As the Adept Mystics get back to Bucharest for some rest and fun, they get a new job, one that will propel them on a slight detour from the Ghoul Tour. They must travel to the Caucasus Mountains to investigate a missing research team sent to uncover the possible location of one of Dunklezahn fabled lairs. What will they find there?

Session 6: Deep Freeze Part 3 - Nazi Werewolves Need to be Punched! Lady Lisa Felworg of the Second Dimensional Boring Acquisitions Division sat in her office looking out through her window with a smirk. The Grand War Carrier floated yet anchored out in the main courtyard against the buffeting Antarctic winds. She sipped her Coffee as she looked back to her reports. The Commander had assigned her to manage their new allies: these subterranean humanoids native to this strange/yet familiar new world. They had the same passions and pensions as her kin, to punish those weaker and to dominate them rightfully. The Deros Dominion would be of great use with their control of fantastical bio-weapons. They laid waste to multiple Cities and fortifications around this world. Yes, indeed, they would serve them well. All for the glory of the Agarthan Reich. All they had to do was assist in destroying a parasitic City on the Peninsula, full of undesirables. Felworg snarled like a beast for but a moment before composing herself, the thought of pathetic low-borns scrounging in defiance left her with distaste. She sipped more sweetened coffee. It would be a simple task, this pathetic site and it’s vermin wouldn't last too long. A Decisive Sub-Ground and Air strike would complete the task in a night. What could possibly stop them?   Cast:  Chris - GM Dave - Weyland Winchester - Shadow Man in Black Gunslinger (Dave) Aaron - Balthazar Romanov - Half-Elf Wizard-Ranger & Clerical Mage/Herald of Gerald (Aaron) Crystal Chris - Undun Jdin - Nephilim Brawler (Crystal Chris)   Musical Credits:  The Pyre by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4504-the-pyre  License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

Disclaimer: This is currently a special one-shot, with the possibility of having further games run in the future. We had some inspiration and we decided to roll it up. FogGate: FG-1   An artifact found in the North Sea leads to a discovery of a portal network, something between science and sorcery, that links our world to others in the Galaxy. Operating out of an ocean platform fronted as an oil rig, a clandestine international Division carries out expeditions through this misty threshold. The Project is codenamed Knight Errant… but the crews that travel through to other planetary spaces have their own nickname for the Op: FogGate. Session 0: Cold Open (Pilot) The FG-1 team has a destination to explore: a cold tundra world with what looks like artificial spire structures on the horizon from the gate. No native activity as far as telemetry or recon drones are concerned. The Mission, explore this Canadian adjacent world and see what happened to the spire builders, retrieve any samples for study.

Session 5: Deep Freeze Part 2 - Attack on Dero Juan didn’t know exactly where the strangers had come from, but he knew they weren’t with the Dero Dominion. Jetting down the Utility Road toward the Main Gates of the city, as sirens blared and he towed the newcomers skiff at high speeds, he figured it couldn’t hurt to bring them in. Maybe they could help with the conflict those monsters from beyond and beneath the ice had been waging with humanity. The jarred oranges may have also been a winning factor for his compliance, it had been so long since he’d tasted good fruit. The smoke and screams billowed over the iron walls and the doors were slowly closing, this was going to be a tight maneuver.

The following is a playtest of our Laser and Feelings hack that plays with the premise of orbitally dropped soldiers fighting off alien threats. (Basically HellDivers but with the names filed off). We Hope you enjoy it!   “You are a Doomdropper, The Homeworld’s greatest heroes! Go forth and ignite the fire that is  Manifest Destiny amongst the stars and bring its light to the alien dark!”   Cast: Chris - COC (Control Operations Commissar) Aaron - Griffin (Light Armour DoomDropper) Dave -  DoomDaver (Heavy Armour DoomDropper)   The Gun Fondlers On an Arctic Ocean world, the dastardly Illucidate are broadcasting their vile “Truths” across the stars and enslaving the minds of good Homeworld colonists. It’s up to our heroic Doomdropper squad, codenamed “The Gun Fondlers” to strike back and melt away the broadcast on this glacial planet! Are they up for it? Of course they are! Their Doomdroppers for Destiny’s sake!   Musical Credits: "Heroic Age" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Session 4: Deep Freeze Part 1 - Off to Esperanza City Juan’s aircraft soared through the frigid air above Esperanza City. His scheduled round of recognizance was like it had been the last few weeks. He hoped an assault from the Greater Ice would yield something exciting, despite the horrific threat it incurred. The Dero Dominion could strike any time, but they’d been bidding theirs of late. Pushing the usual route out a bit wider from the city, mostly from boredom then vigil, he caught sight of something new. Any signs of green among the white and brown of the Antarctic peninsula were odd, very odd. As he flew closer, to his surprise, it looked to be an oasis amongst the cold! Farms, a forest and a town at the center of a circular cut of summer. Against orders, he dove down to land. He just had to get a closer look, make sure his eyes weren’t betraying him.

Tonight we give you a playtest of a hack of the system Lasers and Feelings: Hell+Dive! Hell+Dive: DeMALLcracy The Helldivers are to drop down to the world of Gennep-9, which sits dangerously close to the Void created by the dastardly Illuminate. Their Super Destroyers are the only ones in orbit. The reason for this odd mission… to Eliminate threats and Survey the seemingly abandoned planet surface, formerly teeming with several human colonies of loyal Super Earth citizens, now silent cities. What’s stranger is the usual suspects of this anomaly: the Squids, are currently nowhere to be seen. Perhaps they are hiding, waiting to ambush? But nothing can hide from LIBERTY!  Cast: Chris - GM Aaron - Wiz Merrit - Ruckus Dave - HellDaver Crystal Chris - HolyDiver   Musical Credits "The Way Out" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Session 3: Hand over Fist Myth’s End has had its fair share of strange and peculiar citizens. Sometimes they’d stay, others came and left. The oldest of the living Davidsons still remember when their large neighbors dwelled on the property they later took over. When the former residence never returned from beyond the towns borders, they of course waited. They had given it time, a few phases between worlds, before they took up new ownership. They figured the Nephilim wouldn’t be returning… funny how life is.

After 2 years and 18 sessions, we finally returned to GenCon where this Campaign started to send it off proper with a Post-Mortem! (Thankfully with less background games) The Pitch: 2007, two years after the “Sporks Situation'', a name change and asylum seeking later, Chuck “Forks” thought he and his daughter Nella would be safe from further strangeness. However, strangeness can follow you, especially when you end up in Maplemoose County, Ontario. Nella’s love life in her new surroundings was a shotgun blast of hook ups and break ups with the various Ex’s being just monsters about it. Now, a curse has been placed on Nella, and Chuck must once again call on his old colleagues for help. Are these individuals bad enough to tango yet again with supernatural forces? This ain’t Helsinki, but it’s certainly a Cluster Fork!

The Power of Friendship (One-shot) Beyond the sprawling magical college town megacity of Arania, lies a region on Teuflemire that holds many massive stone mounds with entries to fractaling dungeons within: Dungeodes! It is at the edge of this stretch, known locally as the Crawl, that a Pub resides. The Crawl-Dad has a sort of Deadpool-like competition, where drunk would-be adventurers can try their luck and win a chance of free drinks for life by entering one of those crawling dungeons and defeating the denizens and trials within. On this night, can the new crew defeat their Dungeode with the power of Friendship?   Cast: Chris - GM Aaron -  Chronohelaveesial “Chrono”(Elf) Dave - MooMoo’ontu (Minotaur) Seb - Gustov (Goblin) Marc - Sirius (Black-scaled Dragonborn) Crystal Chris - Jizard (White-scaled Lizardfolk)   Musical Credits:  The Pyre by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4504-the-pyre  License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

Session 2: The Howling Tower The people of Myth’s End remember the Howling that night. The night the local magus, Ignatius the Illustrious disappeared, everyone heard the strange cacophonic howling across the township. But only Mildred Miller, a girl of nine, heard more than random noises. She heard whispers beneath the noise. A deep old voice whispering deep old words, words that scared the child. While she would not show it, for the first time in her young life she was truly afraid of them. What scared her was while she could not understand the words, they were etched into her mind… crawling in and nesting there for her to recall them to someone.
