SEXY! BATTLE! WIZARDS!

Wed, 06 Nov 2024 18:13:17 -0500

At the time of uploading, Kamala Harris has conceded the 2024 presidential race and Donald J Trump is, once again, going to become the President of the United States.

Also at the time of uploading, the most recent episode that went up was the final true episode of Natural Disaster Gays, which while it ends on a happy note, is very much NOT a happy campaign for the most part.

I figure people could use a laugh, find a fun distraction, and try to forget how fucked up the world is for a little bit.

This was done back when Boogieman Buddies had a Patreon, and it was the first bonus episode we ever put on it. It's a goofy little story where Cricket, Ape, and Artemis create sexy wizards who do battle, and are invited to a party thrown by the Queen of the Fey. There they meet a man called Jeans Intojorts and fight a rival Sexy Battle Wizard. It's all very goofy and silly, and I hope it brings you joy today, something that we could all very desperately use.

The Terminator: Miami Vice Act 0 - Character Creation and (Poor) Rules Explanation

Fri, 03 Nov 2023 10:12:00 -0400

We join Colin as the Gamemaster as he navigates Bobbin, Cat, and Claire through a bit of a crunchier game than they are used to: The Terminator RPG. In it, we create characters, set up a few points to make things run smooth, and get ready to tell a tale that was mostly inspired by the original 1984 movie... at first.

A note from us to you: Hey everyone, we half-joked about it in this session but now that we've completed the campaign we think it's a good idea to put a formal content warning for one of the PCs getting repeatedly misgendered. It happens multiple times every session and while it is era-appropriate and done without malice we know it might still be upsetting for some people, so, stay safe.

Trophy Dark Incursion 3 - Clever Fingers

Fri, 27 Oct 2023 12:00:00 -0400

What one thing are you most desperate for? Is there any price for it you'd be unwilling to pay? If the path to it was before you, and a sure thing, would anything stop you from walking it? Would you be able to stop yourself, at the halfway point, if your body began to betray you? If your mind ceased to be all your own? If you were well and truly out of time?

One night a year, the longest of its kind, the Uncommon Bazaar asks these questions of all who'd step within. Most ignore them, content to flit about its safe, outermost edges. But this year, this night, a Lamb, a Snake, and an Intercessor will seek the Bazaar's center. And one way or another, they will be made to answer.

Trendsetters Side Issue - Cape & Cowl

Fri, 29 Sep 2023 12:00:00 -0400

Santa Rita has seen an influx of superheroes the last few years, and many of them follow the powers of their contemporaries in Halcyon. But what about the heroes who don't have extraordinary abilities? Heroes who have skill, training, and a dash of luck, catching the things that slip through the cracks? Three such heroes join forces on a rainy night to take down a weapons dealer, and it leads to something more...

This session is played using Cape & Cowl, a system of Colin's own design and being play tested for the first time here on Boogieman Buddies.

Fri, 14 Jul 2023 12:00:00 -0400

Excerpt from The Armonde Accounts - Adaline

No yeah you're absolutely correct, Luc does get a little weird when he talks about this leg of the whole ordeal. I think it's because of how familiar it was, like we never had giant rivers of putrid wastewater and we never discussed shoving people in bags, obviously. But we definitely had help, around the manor, and they probably weren't treated as well as they ought to have been. We definitely let maintenance on certain things slide if it didn't directly affect a family member. And we definitely had way more room than we needed, even accounting for the branch families. I think it was altogether... uncanny for him, to have that mirror held up.

The Most Dangerous Game: A Telltale Hunt Story Session 8 - Rolgar Leeds and Mister Piers

Fri, 16 Jun 2023 12:00:00 -0400

The dragon is slain, and our Dragon Slayers head to various healers to regain lost limbs, senses, and health. However, the question remains of what to do about Rolgar Leeds. While a plan is formulated, he calls for them all to join him for a party. However, the good times are cut short by a betrayal, and it seems like Mister Piers, the obvious nonhuman, is meant to finish off the Dragon Slayers once and for all. Can the heroes overcome whatever this monstrosity is? This is the finale to the Most Dangerous Game.

The final preparations are at hand. Locations have been scouted to, hopefully safely, bring the Dragon to the Deadlands in order to slay it. Tomes have been delivered for translation. Relics have been dropped off for laundering. Everything seems to be coming to a head, which is why, here and now, a new player introduces themselves, with a proposition for Jordan that seems almost too good to be true.

While Jordan continues to be a plaything for a pair of elves who seem to never agree, Boscoe and Gregory Lambda finally go after an artifact of incredible power: The Ring of Solomon. While their plan is solid, heists never go the way things are planned. The question is will these twists keep them from their goal, or will they plow through and steal a ring that hates anybody other than its true owner?

With the Lich defeated, it's time to move onto less physical avenues for the prepwork for the dragon. While Nyx gets fixated on procuring a nuclear weapon, the team of Jordan-Boscoe-Camilla decide to try and procure an audience with Merlin. Gregory heads to the Winter Court libraries to see if there's any additional information that can be gleamed from there. However, Jordan's movements have been noticed by a few unsavory people, and that will prove to complicate things...

Hunting a dragon is not a task to be taken lightly. With Steiner deciding to technically sit it out, he instead sends the newest offshoot of his A.I., Gregory Lambda, into the fray to help the would-be Dragon Slayers. Each of the others set out to get prepared in their own way: Thinking of ways to cheat the system, gathering magical artifacts to help, utilizing their contacts, and even going to a mob boss and the Deadland Sultans for help.

Fighting in Harmony Mission 2 Stage 7 - Crush the Remaining Mudkickers

Fri, 14 Apr 2023 12:00:00 -0400

From the personal log of Alan Blakeson:

" ...so now its the old game of 'hurry up and wait'. If our intel is good, and we have no reason to believe it's not, they'll come right through here. We'll have the element of surprise and the high ground. The attack on their base should have lessened their ability to mobilize, hopefully our numbers will be at least even. Too much to hope for a numbers advantage. However we weren't able to get much of any intel on what we'll actually be up against. I sorely hope we won't regret that. Putting a pin in it, Gameshow's indicated movement."

From the personal diary of Connor Elias: "This may very well be the scariest thing we've done so far. At least, to me, anyway. When I'm behind the safety of Big Wheel I'm far more comfortable. Walking around without it seems... wrong, somehow. Is this how everybody feels all the time? Disgusting.

I still say we should have gone when there were less people. We've shown to be an extremely well-oiled machine, so to speak, in our mechs, I'm sure we could handle a few extra robots that the Mudkickers throw at us. Alas, I was outvoted, and so here we are. At least the show after the mission will be good, no matter what time of day it is."

With their training complete, Judas Blade, Diedre Lockheart, and Terracotta the terracotta soldier head to prove their worth in Ghost Town In The Sky. But the newly appointed Ravens quickly find that all the training the Department of Human and Extraterrestrial Affairs could've mustered wouldn't have prepared them for what was laying in wait.

Trendsetters Issue 79 - Catching Up on Months Passed

Fri, 10 Mar 2023 12:00:00 -0500

Despite it being a quick trip to them, months have passed in Halcyon without the Trendsetters. Blackmoore is in a scandal, Lehmann has moved next door to Felix, and the Groundbreakers are doing well in spreading the word of their parent group. Zero finds out what has happened in its absence with the NC-12 project from Jen. Young Gary heads to the SCS and, after overhearing something he probably shouldn't have heard, is tasked with finding the months-absent Sam. Felix gets back in touch with Tiffany, and after a bit of a talk they decide to keep trying the dating thing. Switch makes sure their people are all safe, both in Lovelace and Felix, then talks to Calvert, who reveals that two things: One, a suit's worth of Vinterium has been stolen, and two, he's interested in grander things thanks to Switch's prodding.

Excerpt from a covert recording of Jean-Luc Armande "...bloodless animals, the lot of them. Even Alice, nice as she turned out to be. Can't believe she'd get involved in a group like the Mudkickers over something as trivial as flight. Alto was right about the only theater I never had any reservations over.

Of course, it was about that time Aria came forward about her condition. I tried to give her what I could from my family's ways, but there's no way of knowing whether your words truly land with someone."

Fighting in Harmony Mission 2-3 - Reconnect with Family

Fri, 03 Feb 2023 12:00:00 -0500

From the Personal Diary of Connor Elias:

Once again I have found myself away from anything resembling actual civilization. This place smells funny, gives me a headache, makes it hard for me to breathe, and worst of all is MURDER on my pores. Still though, we managed to fulfill a few of our objectives, and the sooner we do those, the sooner we can leave. Though one does have to wonder how many of these secret villages there actually are, hiding under the Choir's nose and living rent-free on their... excuse me, "their" land without even so much as a single credit paid in taxes. If it wasn't for the fact that this wretched place makes me feel miserable, and we weren't out to topple them, it'd make for a good third home.

From the Personal Log of Jean-Luc Armande:

"Another mission begun, another trip to some destitute hole on the edge of nowhere. If nothing else is certain - and nothing yet is - it's clear that whomever is in charge of resource distribution needs to be replaced. At least this time I'll have no compunction about the violence we'll be meting out: McGannis is opportunistic scum and it's been clear to my family from the start that she never should have been given a position of power. And who knows, maybe this will be a wake-up call for Moderno as to the quality of his selections.

Just need to keep Johnny on a short leash."

Fri, 23 Dec 2022 12:00:00 -0500

From the scribblings of Johnny Alpha:

A violent revolution is definitely not a joke, and I have no intention of making light of it. And it can be a tough and emotional thing for civilians to go through, speaking from personal experience. And I know that it’s often much harder on the oppressor than on the opressed. However, I also know that it doesn’t necessarily turn you into a sad, depressed sack of tears for the rest of your life. Civilians can move past it, and heal.

Fighting in Harmony Mission 1-4 - Uncover Hidden Information

Fri, 25 Nov 2022 12:00:00 -0500

I remember walking home from work one day, and a groundcar pulled up beside me. Then I remember the pressure of a rag over my face, and some chemical smell. After that, it's kind of a blur. There were injections. Hushed voices muffles by medical masks. The constant, cloying smell of a hospital. But then one day I woke up with someone strange in the room. He said he was from maintenance but he wasn't. He offered to take me from here, to let me join his friends. I barely had a choice; anything was better than being in that room with a needle in my arm.

Picking up from last entry; Fight could have gone better. Shockingly it's rather hard to mount a defensive position under artillery fire. We were on the backfoot until Johnny showed up. Odd boy, not really sure what to make of him. Still, would have been a much more hard won victory without him, so I suppose I should be grateful. Speaking of grateful, we're coming up on the town now, and it looks like they're preparing for a celebration.

Excerpt from the personal log of Connor Elias AKA Gameshow:

Damn this swamp, damn these bugs, and damn the humidity. Haven't these people heard of air conditioning? First I haven't had a good drink in days, next this. At least my team agreed on a good leader for this rebellion, though her showmanship is lacking a bit. Also met a kid. He seems nice, but a bit too tired. Something about a lack of sleep? I get it, I used to just *die* if I didn't get my 10 hours in my sensory deprivation pod. Anyway, time to go show them all what ol' Gameshow is capable of. I'm sure it'll go just as smooth as last time. Ta-ta!

From the Personal Log of Jean-Luc Armande:

"I can scarcely believe any of this. A covert operation to bring down the Hegemony, lead by a union of planets we've never even heard of. It'd be absurd if I wasn't standing in the belly of it, if I hadn't sat in a mech the likes of which would only be piloted by the members of the Harmonic Choir. I don't know how they expect to win. I don't know how they expect me, of all people, to be a part of this.

I'll have to play this close to the vest for now. May my father and the Hymnleader forgive me."

With Xerox taken care of, several things have to be taken care of. Switch makes sure they keep a promise to Coyoteman before gathering the team to discuss what they did.

Year of Harmony 1014. Lieutenant Instructor Marcos Mesaios's Log. Got three new lancer cadets today.

The Telltale Hunt: The SoCal Squad Session 110.4 - Epilogue: Future, Finale

Sat, 17 Sep 2022 12:00:00 -0400

And, finally, we follow all three, the Cell, the Selected, separate but together. We cast our eyes forward to Revelation Day, its events and immediate aftermath. Further forward to the impending doom of the organization that brought them all together, and to the (by some accounts, suboptimal) prevention of that doom. The question of a second integration is answered, and likewise a public naming. We gaze, briefly, on the Traitor, the Inheritor, and the First Son. And then we settle our gaze on the story's terminus: the narrative eve of the Bleeding of the City, we find them where they are, and then we shut our eyes.

The book's epilogue closes, and likewise the book itself. Naught for me to do now but pick up the next one. I love you all. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

[And to step out of Greta's skin for the final time: thank you, all of you, for joining me on this journey. This was my first time in the DM's chair and it was altogether so much more than I ever anticipated. Every one of you who found this worth listening to is precious to me. This will not be the final time you hear from me, though it will be the last for a while. I need a break, and my next work is going to require *so* much preparation.

I hope you will be here when I return.]

The Telltale Hunt: The SoCal Squad Session 110.3 - Epilogue: Roxanne

Fri, 16 Sep 2022 12:00:00 -0400

We follow, thereafter, the Angel, the Escort. Her final decision, the friction, the farewell. And then the next year. The birth of a mistake undone, the first steps of relocation and establishment of a trade, investigations into solving an ancient secret. Then, a long-avoided conversation, and then another (though the avoidance here is by another's hand), and then a threefold reorientation. The shade of a tree planted long ago is rediscovered in a sister's company, a thorny bargain is reached. A resting machine is called to action to mend a wound holding a sea hostage and six nomads are freed to wander no more. And then, finally, a visit from a flame left to linger in embers, a night of sputtered enkindling, a pair of seconds secured, and a settling in with eyes to a future most disasterous.

Goodbye.

The Telltale Hunt: The SoCal Squad Session 110.2 - Epilogue: Grant

Thu, 15 Sep 2022 12:00:00 -0400

We follow, then, the Mage, the Void. His final decision, the friction, the farewell. And then the next year. First and most of all, the revival of his identity: the synthesis of ancient technique, modern theory, and genius accident, all on the back of the expenditure of stolen moments. Then, healing at long last, a pitch flame reduced to smoldering embers, and a reappearance on the field of battle. The promise of yet more payment to his patron, the denial of a relationship forged in a dying worldline. And then, finally, a call from an old friend, a night of shared stories, a commiseration over children, and a departure with eyes to many future meetings.

Goodbye.

Wed, 14 Sep 2022 12:00:00 -0400

We follow, first, the Scientist, the Champion. His final decision, the friction, the farewell. And then the next year and a half of his life. Adoption of an animal. Proliferation of his support and expansion of his reach. A brief trek into familiar territory, and a confirmation of tradition. Then, bedmaking with the enemy for the common good, visitation of a departed friend, reconcilliation, and the offering of the foundation of a future to one left in the lurch. And then, finally, a call from an old friend, a moment of shared passion, a commiseration over illness, and a departure with eyes to many future meetings.

Goodbye.

Trendsetters Issue 66 - The Blacksite

Fri, 09 Sep 2022 12:00:00 -0400

It's finally time: The Trendsetters have found the DHEA blacksite and are given the rundown of roughly what they can find in there. It is a gauntlet of guards, alarms, sensors, and more. A single misstep and everything they've been working towards goes down the drain. What will they find there, and more importantly, can they beat Xerox and Blue Bandit to the goal?

The Telltale Hunt: The SoCal Squad Session 109 - The Gap Year

Fri, 02 Sep 2022 12:00:00 -0400

An accord reached, Our Three Yet Alive return to their worldline with their lives their own and ahead of them. For Steiner, 7.3 months: time to step back, resume his role as educator, take up a new role as supporter, and contemplate his future role as Champion; the ramifications of others' actions are reckoned with and an ongoing relationship changes by grace of opportunity. For Grant, 12.25 months: time, too, to step back, relocate, to lay down his sword, to contemplate passage between two lives, to investigate his own repair, to answer for his forbidden knowledge, to feel a gulf grow; healing is denied by dint of anonimity and the misery of that dint is borne. For Roxanne, 14.6: time enough to assert her will for the course of her oldest relationship, to mentor those who move to feel the gaps left by those who've stepped back, to chase healing for others, to strike out once more on her own; the weight of the world moving around and ahead of her is crushing and she chooses to take her final steps in detachment.

Get your sleeves rolled up, Navi. This is our big moment for them, let's do it right.

The Trendsetters arrive in Deco City. It's filthy, it's damp, it's one of the unsafest cities in the world, and it's where Coyoteman calls home. The Trendsetters try to contact the enigmatic hero, but quickly hit a roadblock, and so they concoct a plan to get his attention one way or another. Disguised as other heroes, they go across town and start raising Caine, but will their plans go as smoothly as they hope?

Mon, 25 Jul 2022 12:00:00 -0400

One of the Queens is dead. Two civilians are left to rescue. Everything goes tits up in minutes. It's a fight for survival against over 500 hostile creatures with the full intention of killing every last living being on the station. The only way to live through the whole thing are smart, calculated moves and a lot of luck. Will the squad manage to pull through, or has their time run out?

Fri, 22 Jul 2022 11:39:00 -0400

And now, with chains cast off, the real work can finally begin. The plan is conveyed to the one holding the keys and the door is opened to the sleeping Lover. But destiny's arc is not kind to any of us, and our ghosts follow close behind until we can find the peace of dismissal. Fortunately, distractions abound: another teams would like to keep their bodies, and our young mage needs to solve a puzzle to stay out of trouble.

I try to set foot in the worldlines proper as little as possible, but sometimes it's just faster to say "hi".

It's a swarm! While Wu, Bortnik, Avadan, and West try to save a couple of kids, two competing factions of Xenomorphs close in on their location and surround them. With nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, clever thinking under a LOT of pressure is the only way the squad of the Bloodhound is going to survive. Tensions run high, panic runs higher, and things get a little spicy... normally it's all in a day's work, but nothing about this day is normal.

Nicolai keeps looking into the Second Chance Society, Penny gets a delivery and talks to Angelo, Robin has a nice meal with Lovelace, and Felix checks up with the Vizier on the whole thing with Tiffany.

Mon, 11 Jul 2022 12:00:00 -0400

Something else is on Artemis Station. Something strange, unknown, and deadly, and its hunting the squad. Even before they can identify it, it kills the Sarge and tries to get at the rest of the squad. After being fended off, however, it's time to go back to rescuing civilians. However, not all civilians are as equally grateful for being saved, as the squad soon finds out.

Fri, 08 Jul 2022 12:00:00 -0400

The plan is made for one last bout of violence, beginning with the retrieval of protection for the softest of the three targets.

The UAS Bloodhound has received a mission. Artemis Station, a housing area for Weyland-Yutani terraformers, has been overrun by Xenomorph XX121. Now, Denny Bortnik, Liam O'Donnel, Hank Avadan, and Rachel Wu, colonial marines, go with their squad on the station to rescue any and all survivors. However, bug hunts are never that easy. There's more going on in Artemis Station than meets the eye. Will the Colonial Marines be able to complete their mission, or are they just resources for the hive? This is Alien: Artemis Station.

The Telltale Hunt: The SoCal Squad Session 104 - Wind Back the Clock pt. 2

Fri, 24 Jun 2022 12:00:00 -0400

Stepping close to the edge once more, our beleaguered trio cross out yet more obstacles to True Victory. The First Son is given knowledge of a dead worldine, the First Regret is corrected, the mage is restored to the height of his skill, and a very wonderful scientist is saved from a grisly fate and given a place to stay. But a question as to the fate of another scientist looms large in the background, and I'm sorry! While I do *technically* exist at all points in my personal timeline simultaneously I need to go through them in a roughly linear fashion or things can get difficult for everyone, which means I can't always answer my own questions. I don't like it anymore than you, and I certainly don't like giving him more things to worry about!

Fri, 17 Jun 2022 12:00:00 -0400

Meetings with the Second Chance Society are held, and it turns out they may not be as altruistic as once thought by certain members of the Trendsetters. Words are hashed out with the Silver Skeleton, and some surprising points are made. A date is had, and it's barely awkward. A talk is had with Penny, and some specifics are cleared up. A heist is attempted, and a favor five years in the making is called in.

Fri, 10 Jun 2022 12:00:00 -0400

At longest last, the correction begins in earnest. A checklist is formed of Needs and Wants and the first two items are sighted: the establishment of presence, and the eradication of impermissable evil. Our three take up swords once again after not enough time away from enacting violence, but for once none of them feel the least bit bad about it.

I think the both of us would like to add our voices to the chorus: Fuck Silas Cutler.

Fri, 03 Jun 2022 12:00:00 -0400

What do the Trendsetters, the Silver Skeleton, and Bradford Arlen have in common? An extremely dangerous foe that has been hitting DHEA facilities country-wide. When Old Megalad talks to Robin about his capabilities and the dangers that come with it, they put two and two together and realize that Xerox is one of the most dangerous people on the planet and they need to be stopped, now. One emergency meeting later, everyone is on the hunt for Megalad's arm, Xerox's identity, and the power-copier themselves.

The Telltale Hunt: The SoCal Squad Session 102 - Season’s Change

Fri, 27 May 2022 12:00:00 -0400

The end of an era, and for our three it is both too long and not nearly long enough. The star falls from the sky and crashes to unforgiving earth, and its cracks are patched by the angel, the engineer, the mage, and those who've watched it break too many times already. And then by dint of a particular kind of quiet migration recurs, though none of us will be there to see where the pack settles next.

The goodbyes are one of the few times I actively stop watching, they always feel like something not meant for me. I wind up having to see them during Integration, but, I dunno, it's different when it's live.

Fri, 20 May 2022 12:00:00 -0400

Megalad has returned... twice. The team has to cope with the idea of two Megalads, each in their own ways. Poltergeist tries to help Switch through it, then Sundog and Switch have a chat about their twice-returned friend, and also discuss Tiffany a little bit. Afterwards, the Silver Skeleton has a chat with Young Gary. Poltergeist has a talk with a retired hero. Zero has a field trip with Prima. Old Gary makes a mistake.

Fri, 13 May 2022 12:00:00 -0400

A revival reveals too much, and a tense conversation plants dogbane seeds in a dangerous garden. After, the angel finds an audience and inspires a generation, the engineer grants warmth and stability, and the mage doesn't realize how far he's come.

Look, I knew he'd be like this, but the people here don't exactly have the space to start figuring out things like internal combustion or semiconductors. It's fine.

Poltergeist goes on a business trip to take care of important things before she meets up with Kevin, leaving Zero, Sundog, and Switch to their own devices for a while. Switch goes to do some training with Calvert, Sundog goes to lunch with his dad, and Zero calls a meeting to discuss his findings about Leonard Wright.

Fri, 29 Apr 2022 12:00:00 -0400

Days of rest swiftly unravel as the truly monstrous crest over even infinte sightlines, and the camp bends under the pressure. Normalcy is nonetheless sought, and our trio presses on with knowing their comrades, knowing their opponent, and, as always, defending the weak.

Y'know, in an absolute sense, that fight lasted close to a decade. Both those monsters kept folding spacetime around themselves to get an edge over each other. Gives even me a headache to watch it all but damn if I don't take in every single picosecond every single time.

After saving time itself and taking the Captainalist back to the past, the Trendsetters start doing some personal errands for their own relaxation needs. Zero starts investigating Leonard Wright's past and finds itself coming up short, even after helping Mach 12 with a situation involving Gordrilla. Sundog wanders around town and runs into an unexpected face, and talks about it with Switch. Poltergeist begins an investigation to improve herself, but unfortunately hits a dead-end.

The Trendsetters are in for the fight of a lifetime. The Captainalist intercepts a distress call from a planet under siege, and it's under attack by none other than the Librarian, an AI-driven planet that is beyond the capabilities of almost everything else in the multiverse. What can our heroes (and villains) even hope to do in the face of such raw, unimaginable power? The answer is simple: Everything they can.

Fri, 01 Apr 2022 12:00:00 -0400

With only their own exhaustion to mark the passage of time, our weary trio settles into the Camp of the Least by inches. A place is sought, a promise is made, a passion is allowed to be rekindled. But callousness born from an over-familiarity with violence and wound in all directions, and the question of an unknown third party looms dark.

Grant's going to be so embarrassed when he finally figures out what's up, it's great, I can't wait.

The heist is coming to a close, but the Trendsetters get a bit of heat on them: The promise of a cash prize if a guard brings Krelp Tromat their head. Can the Trendsetters get out with their lives AND their score? They certainly can if Colin keeps underestimating teamwork rolls!

The Telltale Hunt: The SoCal Squad Session 97 - Radical Reorientation

Fri, 18 Mar 2022 12:00:00 -0400

On the other side of the Void of Time lies a world with not a drop of concern for those incapable of unfathomable violence, and it is in this world our trio seek the foundations of a new fulcrum. Their prize lies in the eye of the storm, but perhaps even more dangerous than the local fauna are the unclosed wounds on their own hearts.

I hope they're able to settle in soon. This can be really good for them, if everything goes right.

The recon is done and the Trendsetters set off... some sort of plan. The whole thing goes off without a hitch at first, but then a snag is met during the execution. Plans are made, executed, and changed on the fly as the group tries to get to the haul... but getting to the haul is only half the job, isn't it?

Time crawls ever on as the weary trio cobble together the parts of destiny's salvation. Power, knowledge, and proficiency are accumulated as the months tick by, and we call particular attention to tactics, tailored beasts, and temporal mechanics before The Failed Conference draws a blueprint of the path to the future.

Fri, 11 Feb 2022 12:00:00 -0500

The Trendsetters take some time off! They head to a space station that's actually an amusement park to blow off some steam. There, they all reach nirvana, relax on a lazy river, entertain their Large Adult Baby so that he doesn't cause the complete and utter meltdown of time itself... you know, normal amusement park stuff.

First for self-alignment and then for the final notch, our trio and their companions mete out violence once more. The key is finished, the lock is opened, and the prize is won and surrendered. With that, the waiting begins: Grant continues his rejuvenation and learns some top-level secrets, and Roxanne brings a trek of three centuries to its end and opens up a potentially devastating line of thought.

Babysitting is no joke, especially when it's from an especially eager Captainalist from the past!

With assent from three of the fey royals obtained, our trio convene after a night's rest to seek the fourth. But a literal depressive spell stands in their way, and it's all up in the air: the Spring King's agreement, the state of Grant's magic, the safety of the Harrison parents, and the state of the masters of the afterlife.

Five years is a long time to just drop off the face of the Earth, so we do you a favor and do a bit of a montage of things that happen during then! Lots of big things happen. A change in leadership.

That's right, #Trending are now officially the Trendsetters, Better Than Ethan are now officially the Riot Wreckers, and everybody in the city is a bit more happy that two groups of superteens grew up a bit. On top of everything else, the city finds a new shining idol in Zero, grows to change what heroes and villains could be thanks to Switch, find a new vlog superstar in Sundog, and wonders where the hell the fourth one went in Poltergeist.

Fri, 05 Nov 2021 12:00:00 -0400

Ape, Bobbin, Cat, and Chloe roll up familiar characters in this new system. FATE Core is a system developed by the folks at EvilHat (who brought us Monster of the Week as well) which easily slots into any setting or genre and uses a simple system of rolling 4 dice to apply bonuses and penalties to your skills. We go into the rules of the game, as well as things in Halcyon City that change during the big 5 year time jump!

Fri, 29 Oct 2021 12:00:00 -0400

Their numbers dangerously reduced by their mortal foe's first wave of interference, destiny's counter-force grits their teeth and draws against treasured companions and shifted selves. The question of who lives and who dies is never answered easily, and rarely satisfactorily.

The look on her face makes my heart hurt, I hate when it shakes out this way.

This is it. The Fennec has been found and now the Coetrie is going to deal with their new personal foe for good. They have supernatural powers, but he has training. They have incredible strength and reflexes, but he has an arsenal of weapons. They have a plan, but he has the homefield advantage. Who will win, and will they be the same coming out as they did going in?

Fri, 15 Oct 2021 12:00:00 -0400

The first ring of true battle erupts in the cemetary fault, and first blood is spilled. And second, and third, and twenty seventh. Two hundred and eighty and one hundred and fourty and twelve meet their ends before swords are first uncrossed. Sixteen and one and two remain to contend with three and two and One, and None have yet bled needfully.

This part always makes me nervous, no matter how many times I watch it. But I believe in them. Do you?

The civil war among the Camarilla is almost at a head, and the new Anarch Coetrie is eager to see it kick off.

Fri, 01 Oct 2021 12:00:00 -0400

The chosen three are called to action days in advance of their deadline so as not to tempt fate. They break to tie up a few loose ends and say some final goodbyes and, as ready as they can be, rejoin their greater numbers to commiserate and plan. Unfortunately, their mortal foe would rather this all resolve without raising their sword, and so instead brings down the hammer.

I'm so excited for Chapter Five; even after ten million iterations, it never gets old.

This is it. #Trending returns to Halcyon with a plan to take the Transistor Tyrant and his kids down for good. But it's not just the city they're fighting for, it's basically everything from the state, the country, the continent, and even the world as d'Auffay moves ever forward for his plan of total domination. So the question will finally be answered: Who will win? A mad, magical genius who has good as dominated 90% of the super community, complete with backup from robots, martial arts masters, and mind-controlled US Government agents, or three teenagers, a collection of nanites, and the resources they have managed to scrape together?

Fri, 25 Jun 2021 12:00:00 -0400

The Bookstore Bunch has everything they need to solve the mystery, now it just comes down to one thing: Summoning Bloody Mary and confirming everything. But things are never that simple, as the Ravens have gotten a tip that a certain someone is using illegal magic to summon the very monster that they know has been killing mages in town. Can everyone play nice long enough to make sure that Fairechild gets what he deserves, or will things go even worse than expected?

Vampire the Masquerade 5e: Sympathy For the Devil Session 3 - Doom and Gloom

Mon, 25 Jan 2021 12:00:00 -0500

With a lead, the coetrie decides to split up to cover some ground. Johnathan goes to talk to Yvonne Long, the Brujah Primogen, in order to set up a meeting with Chicago's mayor. Meanwhile, Salem goes to talk to a group of Anarchs to close some possible leads and get a bit of blood that they need. Finally, Cor breaks into a house and very deftly finds some copies of evidence that they need. Afterwards they talk to Rahm Emmanuel, and learn something that is going to shake the very foundations of Chicago's vampire power structure to its core.

The Winter Court mourns for their Prince's loss. The world will never be the same. EDIT: I have come to learn that people have trouble understanding the Sultans in their segment. For your consideration, here is the script I had so you can follow it better. ARTHUR: Bring him in. ARTHUR: Edgar Allan Poe, you stand accused of leaving the borders of the Deadlands once entering, possession of an Earth citizen, and using your powers to influence the mortal realm. How do you plead? POE: Guilty, your emenicies. WASHINGTON: You do not deny any of the charges? POE: No, Sultan Washington. WASHINGTON: You are aware of the punishments for such actions? POE: Yes, Sultan Washington. CLEOPATRA: Then you will be pleased to learn, Edgar Allan Poe, that you are not to face any of these punishments. MONTECZUMA: Your actions led to the safety of countless souls. POE: My Sultans, I do so beg your pardons, but, I thought the Deadlands- MONTECZUMA: We do not look forward to such large influxes of souls, Edgar Allan Poe. It makes containing the troublesome ones far more of a hassle than normal. OSMAN: Furthermore, while the one known as Morgan Reynolds only intended to start with the area he stated, it is our belief he would have spread his influence even further. CATHERINE: As a reward for saving the area known as the East Coast, Edgar Allan Poe, and in acknowledgement of the hundreds of years of service you’ve given protecting the living world, we have unanimously requested that you be escorted to Elysium. ZEITAN: You shall become a Deadland Sultan, to help regulate this land. TENMO: Of course, you are free to reject this offer. POE: ...I accept.
