Bone Throwers Theater

The group tries to get some inside info on the Fire Drakes and The Council, but the clandestine meeting goes sideways and it seems they might have bitten off more than they can chew. One thing is certain, life in Consiglio as they know it is coming to an end. System: OpenD6 Adventure, from West End Games CAST: Jordan — The Game Master Aaron — Sam Feluge Ellie — Archi Jeff — Jerr Lan Jeremy — Julia...

It's gonna take the superior technical knowledge and the ingenuitive quick wit of the entire crew if they wish to bring the story to a close in this episode. One thing is for sure, their plan could cause lasting cosmic repercussions for the entire planet. But that's a risk you take in letting the dangerous one come up with the plan. System: Lasers & Feelings - The Doubleclicks Tribute RPG (v1....

In this commentary episode, we discuss some of the looming implications of the on the spot roleplaying choices we have made. Not only do those decisions affect the story, but also how we play the game. We also spend some time describing how our style of play may differ from most roleplaying encounters. It's "collaborative storytelling" where everyone is in the driver's seat and the GM is just "the...

In this episode, you can really tell that we thoroughly enjoyed this part of the story as the pop-culture references were quite abundant. The crew takes the entire ship into the mysterious hole in the ground and ultimately find a little more than they bargained for. System: Lasers & Feelings - The Doubleclicks Tribute RPG (v1.3), by John Harper CAST: Jordan — The Game Master Jackie — AS-5 Jeff...

In a surprising turn of events, an elemental seems to be looking out for the welfare of the group... for now at least. With the information they have gathered Sam has a plan to try and infiltrate The Council. System: OpenD6 Adventure, from West End Games CAST: Jordan — The Game Master Aaron — Sam Feluge Ellie — Archi Jeff — Jerr Lan Jeremy — Julian Illix Johnny — Chine North

The "Away Team" finds that the planet is much different than when they were there previously; particularly in it's population. Felix and the doctor work frantically on the ship's "goo crisis", and try to restore everything to working order for the crew's newly formed dangerous plan. System: Lasers & Feelings - The Doubleclicks Tribute RPG (v1.3), by John Harper CAST: Jordan — The Game Master J...

A lot is revealed in this episode, about bout elementals and androids. It appears that some character's theories are correct. But even with all this info coming out, there is still quite a bit of confusion and dissension, especially when secret is revealed that puts everyone's lives in danger. System: OpenD6 Adventure, from West End Games CAST: Jordan — The Game Master Aaron — Sam Feluge Ellie — A...

For this one-shot series, we enlist an All-star cast (just because we all have J names) for a fun, one-page RPG; Lasers & Feelings. Character creation goes pretty quickly in this game, then we get right into the story, full of mystery and adventure on an alien planet. System: Lasers & Feelings - The Doubleclicks Tribute RPG (v1.3), by John Harper CAST: Jordan — The Game Master Jackie — AS-...

Here is another commentary episode where we take a look at some of the methods we use for this form of collaborative storytelling, and come to the realization that both GM and players come to the table with "plans" that often get altered before they come to fruition. But still each character (and even a couple NPCs) have their distinct arc that is woven into the overall story... and we always seem...

In the final scenes, the heroes are inspired to come together by the most unlikely of characters. And then in the aftermath, most characters surprisingly get a good outcome. But in Fiasco, a good outcome often means just going back to the devil you know. Game System: Fiasco Cast: Carlin - Blain / Ro Sham Bro Jeff - Dr. Thaddeus Bartholomew Reece Jeremy - Dillon Davis / Dark Star Johnny - Franklin...

There's action right from the onset of this episode, and the group flees from one "safe-house" to another. While Sam gets some key info that will blow away some of the fog, a couple new wrinkles are added however. It seems the android components of the group will be adding more complications and glitches than first thought. System: OpenD6 Adventure, from West End Games CAST: Jordan — The Game Mast...

A legitimate super villain threat emerges and captures one of our heroes, so this group better start getting their act together. Family bonds and jobs are restored, but cooperation, that may be asking a little too much. Game System: Fiasco Cast: Carlin - Blain / Ro Sham Bro Jeff - Dr. Thaddeus Bartholomew Reece Jeremy - Dillon Davis / Dark Star Johnny - Franklin / Phase Jordan - Bryce Reece Stepha...

The group tries to untangle the "rat's nest" of clues and info that the Black House has revealed; androids, the Council, the root virus, and other unexplained elemental phenomenon, all while Julian is still suffering from the side effects of... well... they don't know what. But has their indecision cause them to linger too long in one spot? System: OpenD6 Adventure, from West End Games CAST: Jorda...

This episode is all about advancing our superpowers. A character seeks to learn to control their ability rather that be controlled by it, and others seek to add to their powers for their own benefits. But not everyone is successful, and there are some hilarious consequences. Game System: Fiasco Cast: Carlin - Blain / Ro Sham Bro Jeff - Dr. Thaddeus Bartholomew Reece Jeremy - Dillon Davis / Dark St...

In this episode we pick back up with the decision of killing one of their own still looming. With a lot of elemental "bad juju" going on, there is quite a bit of discord, so conflict ensues, however with little effect... at least to the naked eye. There is still a lot of plot and story brewing beneath the surface, and yet another twist to close out the episode. System: OpenD6 Adventure, from West...

The action in this episode is "out of this world"! No, really, we're talking meteors and alternate dimensions here. And when secrets are revealed, it is a living hell for 3 of the characters. Yes, literally, they ARE in Hell. Game System: Fiasco Cast: Carlin - Blain / Ro Sham Bro Jeff - Dr. Thaddeus Bartholomew Reece Jeremy - Dillon Davis / Dark Star Johnny - Franklin / Phase Jordan - Bryce Reece...

Last commentary episode we speculated that a new twist was right around the corner, and oh boy, were we right. In this episode, we spend some time theorizing what this "root virus" is all about. We also discuss the reason why such an inter-personal conflict episode was inevitable at this point in the story. A lot may have been vented by the characters, but they still remain on the brink of a dark...

Our "heroes" attempt to thwart a bank robbery and right some other wrongs that have gone on so far. But I guess they can't all be heroes. Here are the tilt results Sex: True Love Is Not Nice, and Deception: A Secret Goes Public. Game System: Fiasco Cast: Carlin - Blain / Ro Sham Bro Jeff - Dr. Thaddeus Bartholomew Reece Jeremy - Dillon Davis / Dark Star Johnny - Franklin / Phase Jordan - Bryce Ree...

We take it back the the roots of the Bone Throwers Theater play style with some intense player versus player conflict. It gets kinda crazy as both characters and players exhibit multiple personalities within the same scene. And of course, Jordan throws in the creepiness factor oh so well... but he is not the only one. System: OpenD6 Adventure, from West End Games CAST: Jordan — The Game Master Aar...

Dark Star turns superhero detective and figures out a couple other secret identities. But his senses aren't too keen as he forges the alliance that is beneficial to him, but not his "partner". And then there are the frat boys... Let's just say, what happens at the frat house, never stays at the frat house, which is quite unfortunate for one of our esteeming characters. Game System: Fiasco Cast: Ca...

Wanton mayhem, violence, and destruction, that's what was jam-packed in this episode, and it came from the most unlikely of characters. It seems the group adds yet another ticking time bomb of fury to it's collection. And even though that is par for the course, not every character is willing to accept it without a fight, so to speak. System: OpenD6 Adventure, from West End Games CAST: Jordan — The...

Some characters desperately try to hide their secrets in this episode; but to no avail. Science has caught up with Kennedy and has pinned her as The Blue Scorpion. And Phase's identity as Franklin is used against him by another one of our heroes. But certainly this will not come back to haunt him later! Game System: Fiasco Cast: Carlin - Blain / Ro Sham Bro Jeff - Dr. Thaddeus Bartholomew Reece Je...

The Black House Raid quickly becomes the Black House Escape in this episode. Trapped on two separate floors, the characters battle whatever Jordan can throw at them. We get a sense that as players we are fearing for their lives, because despite some really hot dice rolls, character points and fate points were flying off the shelves very early on this session. System: OpenD6 Adventure, from West En...

Things get a little crazy in this episode of Fiasco. Characters display their powers for the first time with some fatal repercussions... or at least with some over the top stereotypical  fraternity hijinks. This story is taking on the flavor of a college movie where no jokes are off limits. Game System: Fiasco Cast: Carlin - Blain / Ro Sham Bro Jeff - Dr. Thaddeus Bartholomew Reece Jeremy - D...

Although the last few episodes have answered a lot of questions, Jordan has stayed true to form and has still left a lot of mystery in the air. We seem to be asking more questions than we started out with, including how long is this Bear character actually going to stick around. Jordan reveals how he makes some of his plot choices, and gives some insight on the makeup of The Council. He actually w...
