Actual Play – Red Markets 2022 Gauntlet – Shepherds Isle – EP 1

Our story begins with the Die Hards, a taker crew who have survived the horrors of the Loss and are close to achieving their retirement dreams. They only need to complete one more job for a Mr. JOLS. In taker slang, JOLS stands for “just one last score”, a term used by takers who are looking for a big payday that will allow them to escape the Loss and return to the Recession in luxury. But Mr. JOLS is not a generous employer and many takers who attempt this last score pay the ultimate price.

RPX Rollup – EP 5- Cthulhu Dark Ages

Cthulhu Dark Ages offers an enriched rendition of the classic Call of Cthulhu experience, immersing players in a world reminiscent of medieval Europe, replete with superstition, fear, and limited knowledge—attributes distinctly absent from the 1920s setting of traditional Call of Cthulhu games, which boast modern comforts like firearms, electric torches, and newspapers. Nonetheless, like its predecessor, Cthulhu Dark Ages introduces a universe where ancient cosmic horrors lurk, and sanity teeters on the precipice of oblivion.

Always engaging and occasionally insightful, our hosts Adam, Crazon, and David will navigate the intricacies of character creation from selecting backgrounds, occupations, to skills and attributes. So grab and character sheets and let’s Rollup.
