Synopsis:

Serendipity City is an actual-play podcast that takes place in a sprawling, dieselpunk metropolis with a magical underworld (in more ways than one). Anarchists fight corrupt companies, shapeshifters fight for turf, dwarves work in the caves underneath the city, and through it all, our intrepid group of questionable heroes just wants to do the job they were hired for.

S1E1 - World and Character Creation: Archetypes, Backstories, Factions, and Links

Wed, 03 Jan 2018 06:00:00 -0000

NOTE: These first two episodes are totally optional! If worldbuilding and character creation isn't your jam, you can totally skip them and start with episode one of the actual play, and learn as you go along.

If, however, you're a total nerd for it (I feel you!), then feel free to go full steam ahead. On this one, we talk more about the specifics of character archetypes, stats, and backgrounds, along with some more details about the world. We don't get too deep into the nitty-gritty of game or system mechanics, although that is discussed a little bit.

If you really love this kind of background and process work, make sure to check out the Patreon, where you can get early access, sneak peeks, and behind the scenes on Serendipity City and other projects.
