Random Average Actual Play

The crew gets away from the StarSmith’s darkspace station, and are not eaten by a giant Way creature. Bonus!

We finally get the first real mission after the opening campaign kicker… a little heist in dark space.

Going twice-a-week on the Scum and Villainy actual play podcasts to get through a game that, ultimately, was not a good match for the group in general and me in particular. The crew finishes up downtime and decompresses at Alor’s bar.

We delve into our first Downtime, and the ship picks up some hitchhikers.

The crew escapes the confines of Warren’s gravity well… and the attentions of the 51st Legion. Then, finally, Kei tells everyone what she thinks the Ur artifact from the case… MIGHT be.

Intro Video! The team has a LOT of stuff going on. A LOT. So much happens, you guys. It’s one of those sessions where the most common roll is Take a Powerful Blow.

The crew heads back to the Fast Buck to get the hell off Warren. Monster runs into an old friend with a shiny new gun. Drifter has a cool little urbot. Kei is, if nothing else, better at lying to soldiers than Han.

We get our Scum and Villainy game rolling… with a dead body.

The team plays super-powered musical chairs. Amazingly, no one dies. Many chairs were harmed in the filming of this episode.

We work out the crew and characters for our new Scum and Villainy game.

The team members each have a sort-of date… to meet their boyfriends’ parents. Oh, and it seem like Vanquish is sneaking secret soldiers onto the planet or something. Whatever.

The team gets ready for homecoming, deals with adults being adults, faces off against Ember’s mom and, FINALLY, make it to the dance.

The team deals with midterm drama.

Kim can’t make the regular Friday game, so Kate and Amanda and I play For the Queen !

The team faces off against Alias and his crew, INSIDE their base. Also, Palancine pretends to be Ember. It’s goes SUPER.

Our schedule is crazy, so rather than our regular campaign, we do a one-shot of For the Queen!

The team figures out Alias’s diversion and block his access to the computer servers at their (previously, his) base.

Palacine’s Jamie is out of town, so we can’t play Masks. Instead Kaylee, Ember-Jamie, and I blast through a one-shot session of Psi-Run, by Meguey Baker. It delivers.

Serran and January backtrack to the old war museum, run into a ranger from another settlement on the way, find a shiny, and realize they’re in a trap. Guthrie gets mugged by the maelstrom and looses track of Linelle. Kaiwei (and posse) goes after Linelle, and runs into some trouble of the Big Bad kind.

Sil catches up with Maria, and gets told. Ember gets lectured by AEGIS a bit. Palacine gets some advice from Collin and… kisses him? Unexpectedly? What? The team meets up in the base and give Patrol a call. After talking with Patrol, the team splits up. Ember has a date with Riptide. Sil has a date with Jack? Palacine is figuring out an tracker that will help them locate Alias. Palacine USES...

Our first session! Serran faces down Kreider and takes January’s shiny new gun back to Grand Central with her. Kreider is not happy. Buck tells Kai there will be repercussions from Kreider… then he tells everyone else in the settlement and gets them all riled up. Guthrie gets a Visitor, catches up on Family Gossip, and gives Serran some (slightly insulting) advice (and maybe some usefu...

Kim, Kate, Amanda, and I work out the rest of Session 0 world/character building, and set up the opening scene for session 1.

The team faces off against Oversight’s disapproval, then (finally) gets their date night with the bois.

The team is in Belize. Ember melts Belize. Palacine snakes one of her palace guards out of a crater. Silhouette bleeds to protect the team. Repeatedly. Also she’s really bad at comfort & support.

Kim, Kate, Amanda, and I get together to build an Apocalypse We’re using the new Burned Over playbooks that Vincent’s releasing for “PG13 Apocalypse World. (I don’t care about the rating, I DO care that the moves and playbooks feel more elegant and match much better what I’m looking for out of our relationship with the Maelstrom.) All the other players are new to pbta-games. I’m new to AW it...
