The Tabletop Bureau



Synopsis:

The Tabletop Bureau is a tabletop role-playing content creator group formed by two best friends - who are now broadcasting an on-going Star Wars RPG campaign that began back in August 2019 with a group of best friends. What began as a group of friends creating their own 'Star Wars' adventure became a venture to show off their passion to all - through 'Tales of the Old Republic', an adventure that takes place 4000 years before the heroic victory over Yavin IV. 'Tales of the Old Republic' uses the Fantasy Flight Game's 'Star Wars' series of books, including Force and Destiny.

ALIEN: Desolation - Part 3: Den of Beasts - Episode 3

Wed, 26 Apr 2023 16:03:54 GMT

The disaster of LV-145 and the Pinnacle Facility may have been a setback for the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, but Clarke and Butler, decades after the facility's fall, still cling to the hope of the Engineer technology there. All has been silent since the FA/TH/UR AI went live, so the two begin to think there may be one last chance to save their careers, hatching a plan to divert a hapless crew to the far off system... with an android by the name of David in tow. Here is the thrilling conclusion to the ALIEN: DESOLATION story!


Part III of ALIEN: Desolation is the third in an ALIEN: The Roleplaying Game-inspired series of podcast episodes created as part of The Tabletop Bureau's co-creator's master's project. Unlike the former parts, Part III utilizes very minimal scripting, instead presenting the events of "actual play" exactly as happened while running through the accompanying adventure -- Den of Beasts. For this reason, Part III is divided into three separate episodes. This is the second of three episodes.

ALIEN: Desolation - Part 2: Mark of the Beast

Wed, 26 Apr 2023 16:02:35 GMT

Several decades have passed since the fateful landing of the USCSS Norito, and much has changed in the Eta Leporis system. Clarke and Butler of the Weyland-Yutani Special Projects Division succeeded in establishing a research presence to study the world's strange xenomorphic creatures and ancient ruins, but unfortunately not all is progressing to plan...


Part II of ALIEN: Desolation is the second in an ALIEN: The Roleplaying Game-inspired series of podcast episodes created as part of The Tabletop Bureau's co-creator's master's project. This episode, unlike the first episode, is constructed around the events of "actual play" for two original modules created for ALIEN: The Roleplaying Game. The story takes place over two interspersed story arcs, set in the same facility on LV-145: one during the fall of the facility, and the other during the arrival of a marine detachment to "rescue" the colony.

McKenzie Power as Clarke

ALIEN: Desolation - Part 1: Mind of Ice

Wed, 26 Apr 2023 16:02:08 GMT

In the grim cold of space, far beyond the frontier, lies the dead Eta Leporis system. Once a burgeoning colony system of the mysterious "Engineers," Eta Leporis is now sterile and static... until a crew of cargo haulers is awakened by their onboard MU/TH/UR computer to investigate a strange signal. Where have we heard that before? What they find leads to terror both within and without, in ways you may not expect...


The first new release from The Tabletop Bureau in years, ALIEN: DESOLATION is a multi-part story arc told through a variety of means. This first episode follows an exact written script, while others are either "Actual Play" or dramatic readings based off of the events of Actual Play. ALIEN: DESOLATION was created as part of a graduate thesis while one of the founders of The Tabletop Bureau completed his degree.

Following Darth Revan's return at the end of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, the Republic is flailing and listless, hanging on by a thread.
