One plus one equals one very creepy dog in our latest ep, as Jen temporarily switches to playing the possibly demonic, definitely ghost dog Bael. The team confronts a serial killer at long last, with an unexpected outcome. We're playing Blades in the Dark by John Harper! It can be found most places online that pen and paper RPGs are sold. Bael's playbook is THE BARGHEST, created by Briar Sovereign...

Let the ground game begin! Three soldiers from different corners of the galaxy come together, an unlikely alliance for a fairly likely cause (money). As the freshly formed 17th Stellar Navigation Team, their duty to the Andric Alliance is simple: find a just cause for war, or make one if you can't find it. Let's start with an easy job- tracking down the runaway Dr. Trepidi Lasralli. We're playing...

With apologies to Final Fantasy for borrowing the name. Our ghost hunters take on a new job! A ritualistic serial killer? What could go wrong? ...Wait, they rolled HOW many ones? Oh dear. We're playing Blades in the Dark by John Harper! It can be found most places online that pen and paper RPGs are sold. Six is @sixdettmar , Jen is @jbu3 , and Kyrie is @KyrieAPage . Our intro music is Piano 39 fro...

With the still in construction Iorde's Theatre under attack by ghostly statues, knife-wielding rogues, and a sniper, our ghost hunting duo has their hands full. It's time to see the job done... for better or for worse. We're playing Blades in the Dark by John Harper! It can be found most places online that pen and paper RPGs are sold. Six is @sixdettmar , Jen is @jbu3 , and Kyrie is @KyrieAPage ....

A museum. Actors, a stage. A doggedly dedicated golem. Scully's run in with an old... friend? Not friend. What's the other one. Oh right, enemy. The crew is officially a crew. Myre tours the city's memory.  We're playing Blades in the Dark by John Harper! It can be found most places online that pen and paper RPGs are sold, but most notably it's included in the recent itch.io Bundle for Racial...

As surely the sun rises, the night follows. We can fight it all we like, we can try to extend that precious moment in time, but all fade to darkness. If we are blessed, we may see the light of the moon for one last fleeting, beautiful moment, and pray the passing will be peaceful. For a warrior, however, that peace only comes when it is too late. On the trail of the Eternal, our heroes grit their...

Our story of two Doskvol ghost hunters continues. They get arrested. They are released. They negotiate with an insurance claim adjuster. Ghosts are summoned, demons are chatted up, the floor collapses, shots are fired. Just another day, I suppose.  We're playing Blades in the Dark by John Harper! It can be found most places online that pen and paper RPGs are sold, but most notably it's includ...

Welcome to the city of Doskvol. Yo, it sucks in here. The rich trample the poor, crime is out of control, ghosts haunt the shadows of buildings and alleyways, and the government couldn't care less. It is in this town, the base setting of Blades in the Dark, that we start the story of Myre Skora and Scully Booker, two smalltime ghost hunters about to get in way over their heads. We're playing Blade...

After a false flag attack with a biological weapon works a little too well, the Andric Alliance scrambles to address an overdue issue- a government that borders on junta. Military leaders like Admiral Duke Brand Tierson of Sulfur and Night Minister Angelica Ainsford brace their various schemes to weather a possible influence of civilian interests, while Mayor Side Dorsum Sardailles coaxes Professo...

We weren't satisfied with the ending we had. It was fine, but... there were still some issues to be resolved. And so Six and Kyrie sit down as Signal Static and Robin Aquila to bring Starsung Distance's biggest rivalry to a close. We're playing Last Shooting ! You can find its creator on Twitter at @Gen_Ironicus . Six is @sixdettmar , Jen is @jbu3 , Kyrie is @KyrieAPage , and Kat is comfortably fr...

Dziban took off their headphones, and sighed. It was fun watching the crew of The Cullet implode via the camera they'd hidden on the bridge, but now it made it pretty hard to imagine they'd come find Dziban and tell them the secret to getting back to the Cillara Sector quickly. Still, the mercenary had heard some pretty interesting things through that bug. Perhaps the road trip was just enough tim...

Welcome, friend, as we begin a new journey. This is our new sci-fi campaign, called The Wayward Line. We're starting out with a pair of worldbuilding episodes played in Kingdom, our GM of the game to follow (Six) joined by Dylan and Kyrie to start building. The Andric Alliance is at a crossroads. Their civil war with the Andric Union is beginning to cool, just as tensions with their millennia-old...

When it came time to leave Earth, no one was left behind, unless they insisted. Some did, of course. But most people weren't willing to die instead of leave the planet. And though most groups got the relatively well-built colony ships, some people were considered less desirable by society, and thus were given inferior resources. In particular, those who were incarcerated at the time of the evacuat...

It does not take much for slivers of fractures to become chasms. When words and actions fail, the gap can only grow larger. How far of a bridge can you make to regain the connection? And can the connection ever be quite as strong? The Eternal appears, with only one deadly goal; secure another Lotus Petal. As an engine of immense cruelty and power, he challenges our heroes and pushes them to their...

It was uncommon for Davis Deadwater to be at a loss for words, but this was a very special circumstance. He tilted his head this way and that, staring at the report on his desk. In front of him, a Meridian intelligence officer squirmed in anxious discomfort. Finally, he looked up at the officer. "So they got ate by a... a black hole?" "It seems that way, sir... the Anti-Entropists managed to gener...

"Shield. Shield! Hey!" Be My Shield blinked heavily. Delta slumped to the floor. "Finally. Knew you weren't dead, no way I survive something that you don't. But you were worrying me." The Anti-Entropist mercenary frowned. "Dziban?" "They got away, of course. A talent of theirs." Delta snorted derisively. Be My Shield gathered their strength to stand up, then felt their body scream in protest, and...

Despite everything, General Orion Khafri's forced vacation was actually proving relaxing. Drink had never been his demon, but he hadn't realized how much of his urge to start smoking again was from... stress. It was good stress, of course. The stress of being responsible for the FUTURE. He couldn't wait to get back. Well. Maybe he could wait a bit . This hotel room was awful comfortable. Besides,...

In the midst of our season of Starsung Distance, our crew takes a breather, and the galaxy takes a step forward. Let's catch ourselves up on where we are, and what's coming. Beam Saber is currently on Kickstarter! You can find it at tinyurl.com/BeamSaberKickstarter . Its creator, Austin Ramsay, can be found on Twitter at @notaninn . Six is @sixdettmar , Jen is @jbu3 , Kyrie is @KyrieAPage , and Ka...

The first Faction Game was just us finding our footing. Now, it's time to make changes. BIG changes. And what better time could there be to shake things up than with The Cullet's first unquestionably failed mission? The increased attention on The Cullet leads to a scramble to see which faction can best capitalize on the Glass Spectre's notoriety. Except the Anti-Entropists. Them? Well, they think...

Despite the attitude they'd presented with, Trick Wodehouse was actually incredibly grateful to Fennel for their presence. There's nothing like a clown when it comes to misdirection, and Trick was playing with extremely high stakes. Were the influencer absent, the Anti-Entropists' involvement in the star's destabilization would certainly be discovered. But Trick was confident that Fennel would fin...

All of life is a continuous stream. From the void that birthed existence to the very present moment in time we exist, all events are connected. From that explosion of life, the ripple effect is infinite and unfathomable. And yet while we were not there when the stone first crashed into the still lake, the tidal wave that erupts from it still washes us away.  The gang finds themselves in the m...

Major Bravo Turbine @BTurbineOfficial 2h I am extremely proud to announce that we have Professor Fennel Coua, Space Instagram star and famous tweeter, visiting us today for a tour. May we do the Emperor proud! #theemperorhasshownusabetterway #laziriproud #fighting  Beam Saber is currently on Kickstarter! You can find it at tinyurl.com/BeamSaberKickstarter . Its creator, Austin Ramsay, can be found...

The Space Between shook her head. It was a shame that that... "influencer" was unwilling to sell. Despite what she'd told them, in truth Between found it depressing to see such a beautiful machine sit unused. Scratches weren't blemishes, they were badges. If they'd agreed to sell, she would have needed to add some scratches to give it character. Then she could present it to the board. Rex Servo Na...

The Cillara Sector is too big to be represented by so few factions: this is becoming readily apparent. Compromises are compromised, and everyone walks away miserable. Even governments with good intent fail to understand the will of their people, so disparate is the populous. So many stars, so little time. Welcome to the first episode of the faction side of Starsung Distance, where big mistakes hap...

The truth hurts. Like a sharp object pierced through fragile skin, the truth can often bring pain for what feels endless. Even worse, the removal of such a stinger can hurt even more then when it first settled in. But only by ridding yourself of such thing, can you begin to heal. How one faces that is the measure of the soul. The gang finds themselves face to face with a hero of legend, someone wh...
