The digital version of #Lovecraftesque showed up in my mailbox yesterday. I just might get to run it tonight, and I’m so excited.
We broke the Kaleidoscope rules a bit. We placed a title sequence before the beginning. It was a good choice.

That game is truly strange, folks.

Hi G Plussians!
We – I mean me and m foczka – are getting married. Not today but probably in December.
But to not to make things too easy our toilet broke and we need to pay the plumber and a water debt. It’s more than we expected an could afford right now.
So, if you’re thinking about buying The Beast for yourself or someone else it’s a great time to do it now.
You may buy it on DriveThruCards
or Indie Press Revolution http://www.indiepressrevolution.com/xcart/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=315
I can send few copies from Poland to anywhere in Europe, shipping will be probably cheaper.

I played The Final Girl for the first time, and it went off swimmingly.
I played The Final Girl for the first time, and it went off swimmingly. We played a high school field trip where the bus broke down in in the dark of night in the middle of nowhere, New Jersey. No cell signal, nobody to help them. The killer was an extra-dimensional kidnapper who was repelled by reflected light.
I didn’t tell the group that all of the characters in the first blood scene die. The killer for the scene had to narrate the deaths of all of his favorite characters, including the dog. (oops)
The victims attempted to make it back to civilization driving the massive tow truck that had come for the bus. It was a tall order since the tow workers had been killed after they’d hooked up the bus for towing.
The game climaxed when it was down to two survivors, the creepy goth girl and the douchey emo boy. They decided that they weren’t going to die virgins, so things got a bit R-rated before the killer stole away the goth girl.
Since we ended up with a bunch of people with the same number of dead characters, we decided to do Clue style alternate endings. My favorite of these was that the emo boy got away by driving near a wind power plant where the moonlight reflecting off of the windmill blades drove the killer away at the very edge of its territory.

Has anyone here built a custom alignment in Dungeon World?
Has anyone here built a custom alignment in Dungeon World? I remember that Ramshackle Crow was a good-aligned Thief with “steal for the determent of the wicked.”*
The alignment section of the source book** provides a general guideline, but I’m looking for personal experiences. In a way, this reminds me of aspects from Fate and Fate Accelerated. Until I’ve seen several well-crafted ones, I think that I’ll have a hard time coming up with ones on my own.

It’s been a few weeks since David LaFreniere’s giving dream posts.

This week I’ve been thinking a lot about the voices of our community members. Voice has a strong role here. The podcasts, of course, but Hangout games are a primarily audio medium.
I’m giving a dream to Richard Rogers and Doyle Tavener for their rich, smooth, full voices. They are great at conveying “shit got real” when they GM.
I’m giving a dream to David LaFreniere and Jason Cordova for their economy and expressiveness. In character, they can say so much with a word or two.
I’m giving a dream to Lowell Francis for his voice of authority and contemplation.
Richard Rogers ran Cat for us tonight, and it was most excellent.
Richard Rogers ran Cat for us tonight, and it was most excellent. I played a hairless, aloof older cat. Pam played a cute, social cat. John played the intrepid, tough-guy tom.

We played Sorcerers and Sellswords this past Monday. It went well, and it went gonzo pretty quickly.

The game took place in alternate Hawaii. A society of coral-dwelling merfolk were holding a banquet in the party’s honor, because they’d rid the island of an invasive lizard people. Before too long, the shapeshifter discovered the princess of the clown anemone merfolk was missing from her anemone throne. The only clue was a pendant of the lizard folk. The lizard folks’ pendants could only be given willingly–otherwise it’d reduce to ash. This only further mystified the party, and angered the clown anemone king.
Long story short, the pyromancer set off the volcano to force the cross-species lovers out of hiding. The shapeshifter had to rescue the lovers from lava and boiling water. The fighter accidentally invented surfing to escape the lava. The rest of the party found a high spot to wait out the lava.
Once they brought the princess back, we held a round of epilogues. The lovers eventually brokered a peace between the two societies. The party set up the islands as their vacation spot, and started inviting humanoids from the continents. The influx of tourists doomed the delicate environment both societies needed for their survival. (Hey, the party picked doomed as their flaw, so that was my interpretation).
Played One Last Job one last time with my local Baltimore crew last night.

Next time I want to play some gonzo raid/task related stuff, I’m pull up Goblin Quest.

Our gang is the Magificent Fuckers, a mostly queer gang from a fallen chapter in Pensacola, Florida. Our rivals are the Skullirons who used to be cool, but sold out and are now running narcotics and blockbusting.
