Matters of Fate: The Default Actions
As promised here is the video version of our sixth episode in this series where we discuss the default actions in Fate.
The Curse of the Scarab
I played in a very enjoyable game of Fate Accelerated last night run by Sam Dimercurio of Chalice in Chains (recommend you give the YT channel a look); I played Asim Shadid, leader of the Sons of Ammon, a band of desert warriors pledged to prevent the rise of Imhotep.
The other players/characters were:
- Alex Gillot as Howard Bowman, an arms dealer and criminal with a shadey past.
- David Semmes as Hamilton Harris, a disenfranchised banker with a passion for motorcycles.
- Ian F. White as Charles Manning, a well spoken gentleman working with the British Intelligence service.
Great fun game, good GMing and excellent RP all round; you can watch the video here:
Video Response: Horror Tips
Fantastic Dimensions asked for some additional tips on running horror games in his video, so here’s my response:
Skyless City – Jadepunk Session 14 – Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums
The fourteenth session of Skyless City Jadepunk game has now finished and been uploaded to Youtube:
Skyless City – Jadepunk Session 13 – With this Ring
We suffered some technical difficulties with our last Jadepunk session video that lead to the audio for one of the players not being recorded at all on the live-streamed video; I’ve been looking into ways to prevent this in the future, but rather than leave a gap in the playlist I decided to record a summary video.
Post UK Games Expo 2015 Video
I’ve been at the UK Games Expo 2015 all weekend with my wife Hannah gaming with some fantastic people, trying some new games and meeting up with top YT folks.
I’m very tired but wanted to get some of my first thoughts down as a video.
