Beyond the Castle Wall | Keep on the Barrowlands (Session 2 of 4)

Using customized playbooks for a dark fantasy feel, four incredible players create the Drestfall family, Dukes of the Northern Reaches and rulers of Castle Crow Watch. The characters include the decadent Lord Aitor, the second son of the Duke and Duchess; his twin sister, the crafty and agile Lady Lyssa, who knows the language of crows; Stig the apprentice to the Duke's late Grand Vizier; and Gloria, the priestess of a forgotten god who was raised by an old mercenary in the Duke's guard. On the day they rescue townsfolk from a weird cattle stampede, the four also try to salvage their own personal lives. An heir apparent gets punched, a stableboy gets injured, a strange southerner acts suspiciously, the wine cellar is reorganized, a hug lingers, a smith's apprentice discovers the value of free alcohol, and Lady Lyssa proves she can listen to farmers as intently as she listens to crows.

SWS: Impulse Drive (4 of 4)

After the Republic was used up, the central planets formed the Galactic Empire and decided all the planets had to join under their rule. There was some disagreement on that point, a Rebellion began. During the War, many of the Independents drifted to the edges of the system, far from Imperial control. Out here, people struggled to get by with the most basic technologies; a ship would bring you work, a blaster would help you keep it. A captain's goal was simple: find a crew, find a job, keep flying. We’re playing four sessions of Impulse Drive, a PbtA hack about making a living on the fringe of civilized space, inspired by Fiction such as Farscape, Firefly, Mass Effect, Star Wars, and many others. Play larger than life, volatile archetypes in a vibrant setting that is detailed by all the players as you play. -------------------------------------- This game is part of the ongoing Star Wars Saturdays series. The time setting is between Episodes III and IV of the Star Wars movie series, when the Empire was in control, Jedi were few and hunted, and the rebellion was growing in fits and starts. Characters and settings created in this miniseries will exist in the SWS canon for future miniseries.
