Project Blue Book

We're back! Sorry it's taken a while - being scattered across three different time zones made it hard to organise a session, not to mention running the Kickstarter for Legacy: The Next World. If you missed that, we'll be launching a BackerKit pledge manager running until late November, so there's plenty of time to get on board. In this episode, we continue the exploration of the derelict, city-sized ship. Eva finds the truth behind her hoard's messages, Feligus discovers a new way of making music, and Cpt. Wilkes gets his hands dirty. And deep underwater, Lima Sierra comes back online and learns the true dangers of the depths... Taking part: Jay (@jayciles) as the GM. Laurence (@sarkyfrood) playing Feligus Vasp, Elder of the Ascendant Ensemble (Eternal Masquerade). Dave playing Cpt. Eva Stern, Scavenger of the People's Fleet (Pioneers of the Depths). Thea playing Cpt. Wilkes, Agent of the Aerial Board of Control (Gilded Company of Merchants). Douglas playing Lima Sierra, Machine of the Acanti (Stranded Starfarers). Thanks for listening!

Welcome back to Hostile Waters! Following our delving into the mysteries of Cliffside, we zoom out to see what the character's Families are getting up to. Witness research and medicine, trade and diplomacy, and infiltration of an ancient ruin prowled by mechanical guardians. Also - we're currently raising money for new books for Legacy. If you'd like to add new playbooks to your game, change things up with new rules and approaches, or get a quickstart adventure to kick off your campaign, check the Kickstarter out before it ends September 13th: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1549920133/legacy-life-among-the-ruins-the-next-world Taking part: Jay (@jayciles) as the GM.

I hope you enjoyed Red Moon Rising! This is the start of Hostile Waters, a new campaign run in Legacy: Life Among the Ruins 2nd Edition. We're also incorporating material from the next two books: The Engine of Life and End Game. This session is just an initial world setup and family/character creation, but please listen if you want to dive deep into our world! Also: apologies for the audio quality. Our recording solution crashed halfway through and I needed to go with a backup. Don't worry though - we have a better solution in place for the next ep. Taking part: Jay (@jayciles) as the GM.

In this week's episode, we're joined by a new player - Ellen, trying out a Mystic from the Hidden Hand. The explorers are in a strange and otherworldly place, but they haven't escaped the castle's taint. If even the heavens are contaminated by the Regent's will, what hope do they have?

The party of explorers have made their way to the heart of the Baptismal Hall. Now they face down the Arch-Purifier. Can they survive?

The Red Moon has risen once more, and the castle has returned to the world. The Rome of 1523 is corrupted by its tendrils, and heroes have gathered to fight it back. Fuelled by a desire to find power, restore lost artefacts, or rescue their lover, they kick down its doors and descend into its depths. In the damp, moss-covered marble corridors of the great cathedral, they will face baleful priests, mutilated martyrs and strange purification rituals. And at the centre of the cathedral, the acolyte in charge waits to baptise them into the castle's dark religion.

With the castle banished for now, we explore the bloodlines each founder created to prepare for its return. When it invades again - in the heart of 1523 Rome - it will be met by a faithful and superstitious lineage of shepherds, devotees of a holy library, mystics hungrily searching for power and half-dead beserkers trying to fight the rage within.

We start a playtest campaign of Rhapsody of Blood - gothic action in an evil castle from beyond the world. A good-hearted shepherd, a mystical librarian, a flame-possessed sorcerer and a victim of the castle struggling against corruption face down the castle's regent in an epic battle to push back evil.
