A small channel update to let you all know what's going on. Unfortunately our episode uploads will get a little bit more spotty from now on. Last year we had a drought of games, plus a few games we did run ended up fizzling out.   We will upload new series as we complete them. Universal Crusade has about one more episode to go, and after that we should be able to post some Ashes Without Number.   We may at some point post some of our unfinished games since they were still fun, but we don't have concrete plans for that yet.   So yeah, we just wanted to let you all know what's going on and that we will be a bit less consistent with our output for the time being.

Sponsored by the Great Contagion, so deadly the god in charge of reporting on it died by proxy   Welcome to our new game of Exalted (in Fellowship)! We had some IRL friends wanting to get into TTRPGs, so we hosted them a game of Fellowship set in the Exalted universe. The players are new to the hobby, the game and the setting.   The pitch for the game is that it's a full circle Lunar campaign set at the late Shogunate era / onset of the Balorian Crusade. The tone is goofy gonzo, and we play fast and loose with the setting, wrecking things as we go. Initially the players wanted to play something with mechas / warstriders, but we ditched that idea without scaling down the threats they are facing, since hey, it's Fellowship, it's rather forgiving for that ;).   Our cast for this series includes: - Peter as the Overlord Framework, Prince Balor of the Dreadful Gaze - Vanessa as Anastasia Volkova, a No Moon Lunar, the Collector Playbook - Galaxy as Lofar the Greedy, a Full Moon Lunar, the Dwarf Playbook - Jeff as Siegfried, a Full Moon Lunar, the Elf Playbook - Scott as Cat of the Endless Void, Puddle of Unknown Liquid, a Changing Moon Lunar, the Rain Playbook
