Synopsis:

Welcome to the show where every table-top's a stage...and we are Merely Players!

'Dreams of Saretta' is a Dungeons & Dragons 5e campaign, run by Max Aspen, that spun out of our home game full of high fantasy shenanigans of an elf, an elf, another elf, and their dreamy friend (but definitely not an elf!)

'United City 2173', with Austin Hayes, uses a reflavoured Star Wars 5e system for a cyberpunk-noir tale of the city that was once London, England. (Accents may vary)

The Saretta gang just makes friends wherever they go, don't they? It's an episode of gathering intel - high espionage, a surprising lack of snakes, and aspirations of a full night's rest await the group as they begin delving deeper into the Smuggler's Guild and its rift with their own patron, Tuk Quickly.

Mon, 12 Jun 2023 11:00:25 GMT

Welcome back to United City! Having dropped (quite literally) Jack Watts off with The Black Hand, the remaining trio rest for the evening in V's flat above the bar and make a few revelations about themselves and who this figure may be, before being whisked down below the surface of the city, into the abandoned rail system that once made up the Underground, where they meet the strange and horrifying Dr. Alter Coti and his top officer, Aurin.

Trapped in The GamesHouse with a now-unconscious, but possibly still possessed, Jack Watts, the gang needs to make a break for it as the clock comes winding down and the New Year is upon us: could these new tidings bring about something much larger and much stranger afoot?
