Episode #69: Slugblaster with Powered By The Players Pt. 2

, , , , ,

Show Notes

This week, Fiona is joined by Morgan, Diana, Kristin, Maggie, and Mariam from the ‘Powered By The Players’ podcast, for ‘Slugblaster’, a table-table RPG about teenagehood, giant bugs, circuit-bent rayguns, and trying to be cool.

Designed by Mikey Hamm, ‘Slugblaster’ uses the Forged in the Dark engine, stripped-down and modified to power stuff like being stylish, circuit-bending ray guns, getting in trouble with your parents, hoverboarding away from giant meta-terrestrial insects, and fast-paced laser-fantasy action.

It’s stupid. It’s got parent groups in a panic. And it’s the coolest thing ever.

This is Slugblaster!

You can find out more information about ‘Slugblaster’ on the official website. You can also pre-order the full version here.
