Show Notes

This week, Fiona is playing ‘Long Haul 1983’, a solo RPG that tells the story of a dangerous journey through an empty world, written by Sean Patrick Cain.

In ‘Long Haul 1983’, players take on the role of a long-haul truck driver trying to make their way home. Every day, they’ll hit the road, navigating treacherous highways, fleeing from menacing threats, and dealing with the psychological impacts of isolation.

And at the end of each day, they’ll find a payphone, make a call, and leave a message for the most important person in their life. That person never picks up. The player never stops calling.

You can find out more information about ‘Long Haul 1983’ and Sean Patrick Cain’s other games on itch.io.

Episode #96: Mars Colony: 39 Dark Pt. 4

, ,

Content warnings: Politically motivated violence, oppression death, grief and police brutality

Show Notes

This week, Fiona is joined by David for ‘Mars Colony: 39 Dark’, a sci-fi political roleplaying game about political freedom and standing up for what’s right.

Written by Tim C Koppang and published by TCK Roleplaying, ‘Mars Colony: 39 Dark’ is a standalone tabletop roleplaying game designed specifically for two players. One will take on the role of the “saviour” of the resistance movement, 39 Dark. The other will be responsible for all the various problems that are pressing down on the citizens of Mars. 

The object of the game is to tell a meaningful story about the savour’s attempt to change Mars Colony for the better and cope with their own sense of self-worth in the face of mounting violence and political backlash.

You can buy ‘Mars Colony: 39 Dark’ and download game resources on the TCK Roleplaying website.

Episode #92: Salvage Union - The Downing of the Atychos Pt. 2 (Drunken Storyteller Livestream)

, ,

Spoilers for the Salvage Union Quickstart Adventure: The Downing of the Atychos

Show Notes

This week, Fiona is joined by David, Ben, Viv and Rob for ‘Salvage Union’, a post-apocalyptic mech tabletop roleplaying game published by Leyline Press.

The world is dead. Arcologies dot the landscape but are home only to the corporate elites and those who serve them. Those who wish for freedom live instead out in the wastes, eking out a living amid the dust storms, drought, and the monsters that plague the landscape.

The more enterprising see a third way. A collective of like-minded folk, not content with waster life, or Corpo serfdom. A collective with the desire to realise their own destiny. Looks like it’s time to join - Salvage Union.

You can find out more information about ‘Salvage Union’ on the Leyline Press website. The Kickstarter for Salvage Union is still open until early Jan 2022 so go and back it to get your copy!

You can watch the original unedited live stream on the Drunken Storyteller YouTube channel.

The Drunken Storyteller is a podcast where host David explores the world’s myths, legends and stories, all whilst having a few drinks.

Episode #90: Vurt: The Tabletop Roleplaying Game (with guest GM Rob from the Realm of Fire podcast) Pt. 2

, ,

Content Warnings: Violence & drug use

Show Notes

This week, Fiona is joined by Tristen, Dirk and special guest GM Rob from the Realm of Fire podcast for 'Vurt: The Tabletop Roleplaying Game' published by Ravendesk games!

'Vurt' is an RPG based on the visionary and hallucinatory science fiction novel of Jeff Noon.

Amid the glass-strewn streets of the lethal and anarchic Manchester England of the near future, players ingest slender Vurt feathers to travel to parallel worlds as vivid, unique, and unpredictable as our wildest dreams.

But they’re no mere fantasies. These worlds - and all the wonders and horrors they contain - are as real, and every bit as dangerous, as the one you were born in.
