Alun R facilitates the third of 4 sessions of Season of Dreams. This session was organsied as part of The Gauntlet RPG Community's monthly calendar of games (www.gauntlet-rpg.com). When Velura the Lugat and Fungo the Satyr see Kit the Viveru and Shelly the Human disappear just after being re-united with them, they decide to stay on mission and travel back to Murias … only to find that they get there several days before they will arrive there in the last session (it’s all very timey-wimey). This gives them all the information they found from last time and a chance to exploit it. They charm a Merchant Lord while grinding his factotum’s pride into the dust and impress a potentially merciless mother with their act of sheer kindness. Putting the pieces together they pursue a caravan they have already hijacked (it’s all very timey-wimey) to stop a rendezvous with parties unknown that could destabilise the Gloom. Then there’s a hill-fort, an approaching column of troops, illusory Griffins (there is a theme emerging), a fire and a ‘call Formorii ointment’ before … they arrive in the cathedral city of Salisbury in time for Xmas … don’t ask …

Tue, 17 Nov 2020 00:00:00 -0800

The doors of the end times are opening, one by one. The eleventh door almost wiped out humanity, and now the twelfth is creaking on its hinges. Humanity is desperate, and even the demons and monsters that once filled our nightmares are welcome allies. Time to prove that you are more than a monster; that you deserve this second chance. Apocalypse Keys is a Powered by the Apocalypse game heavily inspired by media similar to Hellboy and B.P.R.D., where monsters on the fringes of humanity are called upon to stop the impending apocalypse. Players take on the role of members of the DIVISION agency (Department of Interdimensional Vigilance and international Security: Interdisciplinary Operations Network) and need to deal with their own broken humanity, the corporate bureaucracy of the DIVISION, and the impending doom of the universe. All in a day's work. More information about The Gauntlet Community can be found at www.gauntlet-rpg.com Apocalypse Keys was written by Jamila R. Nedjadi, and is available at temporalhiccup.itch.io/apocalypse-keys More information about the safety tools used in this session can be found at https://i.4pcdn.org/tg/1583202183294.pdf
