Laurie’s TTRPG work covers a wide, wide range subjects, from the ‘weird’ to the ‘unsettling’. His latest project, Death Game is a narrative-driven tabletop roleplaying game when characters compete in a high-stakes battle for survival. 

Inspired by the battle royale genre, whose touchstones include media like Hunger Games, Squid Game, and Alice in Borderlands, players will pick up characters struggling against all odds for victory. As the number of competitors narrows and the stakes grow higher, you'll play until one of you wins, and the rest of you die.

Episode #127: Solemn Vale Pt. 2 (Actual Play UK Livestream)

, ,

Content Warnings/Trigger Warnings: Folkhorror themes, violence, disappearances, child endangerment, supernatural horror, 1970s attitudes.

Show Notes

This week, Fiona is joined by Pip, James, Adam and Rhys for ‘Solemn Vale’, a narrative-driven storytelling game where players tell abhorrent tales of horror and the supernatural.

Published by Dirty Vortex, ‘Solemn Vale’ is set against the backdrop of 1970s England, exploring a repugnant world of Folk Horror and the paranormal. Each game is a communal storytelling experience, with the players taking on the roles of visitors to this village ensnared in a tale of mystery and survival.

Guided by the Narrator, each story will deliver a small glimpse into the grim underbelly of the vale and the festering malevolence feeding it. Success is by no means certain, as the Wyrd corrupts and destroys all those who confront it

You can find out more information about ‘Solemn Vale’ on the Dirty Vortex's website.

Episode #125: Going Rogue 2e with Jess Levine Pt. 3!

, ,

Show Notes

This week, Fiona is joined by Duste and Catrina and extra special guest GM Jess Levine for 'Going Rogue 2e', a GM-Less Anti-Fascist RPG about war, rebellion and making the ultimate sacrifice.

Some dedicate their life to the cause… One day, you will dedicate everything. Those who dream of a better world know one simple, terrible fact: not everyone who helps build it will be blessed with the opportunity to live in it. Those who put their lives on the line to transmute dreams of rebellion into reality know the grim truth that to see this transformation occur, they may one day have to give their lives as catalyst.

'Going Rogue 2e' is a GM-less tabletop roleplaying game for 2-5 players that tells the story of that sacrifice. Written by Jess Levine, 'Going Rogue 2e' is an expansion for Riley Rethal’s 'Galactic 2e'. 'Going Rogue 2e' uses 'Galactic 2e's mechanical foundation to weave narratives about troubled martyrs mired in messy, ethically gray conflicts who must face the possibility of making the ultimate sacrifice.

You can find out more information about 'Going Rogue 2e' and grab your own copy on Jess’ itch.io page.

Episode #120: Flabbergasted with Realms of Peril & Glory Pt. 2!

, ,

Show Notes

This week, Fiona is joined by James, Jane, Liz, and extra special guest GM Zack from Realms of Peril and Glory podcast for Flabbergasted, a comedic tabletop roleplaying game set in the Roaring ‘20s!

Published by Wanderer’s Tome, Flabbergasted is a rules-lite and narrative-driven RPG, drawing inspiration from the likes of Jeeves and Wooster and Fawlty Towers.

Set in the turn of the 20th century, you'll take on the role of either an affable Aristocrat, an entrepreneurial Well-To-Do, an idealistic Bohemian, or one of the ever-ready and steadfast Staff. 

Together players will join an up-and-coming Social Club, get invited into secret societies, and work towards leaving their mark in this world by cultivating their reputation.

You can find out more information about Flabbergasted and grab your own copy on the Wanderer’s Tome website.

A massive thank to you to Zack from Realms of Peril and Glory for running this oneshot of Flabbergasted. Realms of Peril and Glory is an Actual Play podcast of big laughs and big heart! Packed with gorgeous original music and glorious sound design, Realms of Peril and Glory sweeps listeners up into the stories of our incredible cast.

Jane is part of the team behind Rowan, Rook and Decard, the UK TTRPG company behind the DIE RPG, Heart, Spire, and many other tabletop games. Check out their games over at Rowan, Rook and Decard website.

Episode #118: DIE the Roleplaying Game Pt. 4

, ,

Content Warnings/Trigger Warnings: Murder, Torture, Teenage drama, Violence, Alcohol and Substance abuse, Emotional manipulation, and terrible GM practices.

Show Notes

This week, Fiona is joined by Evelyn, Celena, James, Matthew and Matt for DIE: The Roleplaying Game, created by Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans, and published by Rowan Rook and Decard.

Based on the comic of the same name, DIE is about fantasy versus reality, and poses the question of why we play games at all. 

In DIE, players take on the roles of a group of authentically flawed people (persona) from the real world who gather together to play an RPG and are dragged into a fantasy realm. As their paragon characters, they then have to find their way home… or not.

You can find out more information about DIE and grab your own copy on the Rowan, Rook and Decard website.
