Hack The Planet Wired Crew: Blue Oolong (1 of 4)
Alpha test of Hack The Planet, a cyberpunk, climate fiction Forged in the Dark game. We are using the character sheets on roll20 so there's some confusion sometimes since some actions correspond to Blades actions and we say the wrong ones. When I last facilitated Blades it was playtested version 1.4 or 1.5 so if there are any inconsistencies those will be ironed out next time as I move away from writing setting and begin to write the mechanics and get back into the swing of GMing Blades. The crew type is The Wired (Hawker-type crew for Hack The Planet). They decided to take the starting move where they can, after surmounting an Act of God, distill it into something they can make some sort of product with. We spent most of the session creating a crew and choosing playbooks, etc. Recording when we were ready to play so it is a bit short compared to normal session lengths (3 hours). But manage to get some good bit of action in! I always play with a Pinterest board as well and it is referenced in the AP. Here is the link to that: https://pin.it/s4wpr7atdeuhfk Lu referenced this picture for his character: https://pin.it/aj63p425earpz5 This picture is what is referenced for Shelter 1, though this appears to be a fantasy city it works well to imagine how the structures are similar. https://pin.it/ci7xsyvpw55s2z The start of the tornado: https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/84301824259081283/ The fire afterward: https://pin.it/6jdvfmrxlt7l4k

Renraku Arcology Shutdown (4 of 4)
The year is 2060. Magic is as real as the mean streets of the mega-sprawls. Corporations call the shots while nailing each other through covert operatives in cutthroat competition. Flesh and machines have merged—the street samurai with his smartguns and impossibly fast reflexes, the decker who can plug his own brain into the worldwide computer network, the rigger who links his mind to his vehicle and takes hairpin turns at fantastic speeds. And you're a part of this wired world, where corporate skyscrapers glitter over the dark shadows they cast. You live in those shadows. You're a shadowrunner—a street operative. You may be human or troll, dwarf or elf. You may throw fireballs, pull out your trusty Uzi or slice through computer security with a program as elegant and deadly as a stiletto. No matter what, you get the job done. You're a shadowrunner—a professional. You don't just survive in the shadows—you thrive there...for now.

GCL: All of Their Strengths (2 of 2)
The city has a secret food chain, a hidden game of predator and prey playing out in every alley, every shadowy corner and bangin’ nightclub. The Kindred - vampires, werewolves, and a hundred others - hunt humans for food and pleasure. They have ruled the night for centuries, but the game is about to change. There’s a new predator in town, and it feeds on jerks. Hybrids, born of mixed Kindred lineages, but stronger than any of them, and twice as cool. ----------- All of Their Strengths is an action-packed role-playing game of tinted sunglasses, silver-lined swords, and ultra-violet bullets. Take on the role of the Hybrids waging a secret war on the Kindred. Play as a werewolf-witch, a ghost-mummy, or the always classic half-human, half-vampire. Grab your throwing stars, put on your PVC long-coat, and touch up your sweet tribal tats. The War of Shadows is waiting.

Red Carnations On A Black Grave Demo
Playtest on google hangouts of my storygame "Red Carnations on a Black Grave" with members of the Gauntlet community. Character relationship map here: https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1hsfts4IOxBesNVoks-S0pKXy3hjwr0IHR2IOQY9duqw/edit?usp=sharing "For just over two months in 1871, the Paris Commune tried to make an egalitarian, socialist state a reality despite disagreement within their walls and attacks from outside it. This is the story of 12 Communards, their messy personal lives and their attempts to create a utopia in the face of impending death. How far would you go for what you believe in? Would you stand firm even if it meant your death? A freeform game very much in the spirit of Montsegur: 1244 and Witch: the Road to Lindisfarne."
