For our first long-form campaign, Christian introduces the group to Chaosium's RuneQuest as we create our characters for the Bronze Age fantasy world of Glorantha.  Meet the PCs, learn a little about this incredibly well fleshed out world full of myth and lore that dates back to the 1970s.
 
We are so excited to play a longer game, and we hope you'll enjoy our playthrough of Andrew Montgomery's Six Seasons in Sartar campaign.

We unashamedly did it. We played the meme game making fun of indie game recommendations during the OGL debacle...
 
No description necessary, but many apologies maybe?
 
Shout to Dave Marr (@DaveMarrrrrr) on Twitter for the rules we used & Francita (@byfrancita) for the awesome Fishblade art we used on the stream.

Welcome back to the Roomlands & Rene's solo play-through of Colostle by Nich Angell!  Please go check it out, it's an incredibly accessible and easy to learn game with great art and all you need is a deck of cards!
 
After coming so close to the strange glyph-marked plateau only to be snatched by a gargoyle and pulled up into the Rafters high above the Roomlands, our protagonists are left searching for a way back down, or maybe a way farther up onto the legendary Battlements.  As the glass of a skylight shatters and causes a commotion in the jungles of the Rafters, our heroes find themselves among a strange group who have been working toward this moment for a long time...

We rejoin Marco, Berger, and Alis following a decisive victory against a massive flying Rook, completing their first Hunter's Guild quest! Unfortunately, their plans to proceed to the mysterious plateau in the canyonlands bearing the glyph depicted on Marco's familial map go a little sideways (or skyward?), leading to a whole new area of the Roomlands to be explored!  Not to mention, a little weird conspiracy theorizing going on!

We rejoin Marco, Berger, and Alis on their approach to confront their first Hunter's Guild quest! A flying Rook roosting in a tower... on an island... in the middle of a lake... perched atop a plateau! Talk about a crazy site for a fight! Will our protagonists be able to stick to the plan of getting inside the massive Rook and shut it down from the inside, or will they be tossed off the edge of the cliffs to an early ending?

We rejoin Marco, Berger, and Alis as they've alerted some bandits hiding out in the giant skull of a fallen Rook in the harsh canyonlands outside of Rust Grove.  Our heroes are outnumbered and you may be surprised at who manages to carry the fight, but it doesn't come without Wounds and consequences.  As they near the site of their quest from the local Hunter's Guild, they meet an antagonistic NPC who comes with a warning, and the plot thickens before the looming battle...

We rejoin Marco, Berger, and Alis as they emerge from the Crackways between Rooms and build the first city of the game!  Marco does some trading to upgrade Berger, Alis accepts a quest from the local Hunter's Guild, and Marco makes friends with a powerful member of the Guild who provides him with more information about his Calling - the familial map and key!

Step up, come on in, one ticket to the big top here, kid! Sights you've never seen, visions you'll never forget, we've got the most exotic acts you can imagine!  Welcome to the Crossroads Carnival.
 
Episode 2 of our Crossroads Carnival series sees a slightly smaller cast dealing with the locals in Silence, Oklahoma, where the carnival has set up its tents and wagons.  The characters meet some folks who are struggling like most during the Depression, but some who are certainly suffering a little bit more...
