Skyfarer Ep 2: Ramming Speed Pt 2
With their initial destination reached, the crew of the turtle do their best to navigate the wilds of the Reach, the complex relations between the different claimants to hegemony of the sky, and the twists and turns of their own fraying sanity.
The role of Leymar the Loquacious Signaller was filled without warning by local celebrity Alex Harker. You can find more of his works at https://www.storytelleraustralia.com/, or on his YouTube page.

Don’t Rest the Dead Ep 3: Don’t Rest the Dead Pt 3
With their exhaustion building and their ties to the world of the living growing ever weaker, the two Corax agents make the final descent into the surreal guts of the haunted factory, ready to face whatever echoes of the past and present remain.
In case the title didn’t make it completely obvious, these sessions were played using Evil Hat’s Don’t Rest Your Head, a tension-pumping horror game of insomnia, delusion and unreality. Definitely worth checking out.
Incidentally, in the little debrief at the end of the session we spend a fair bit of time talking about a little module by Jason Morningstar, The Rooftop Necropolis of the Blood Mummy, which is also worth a read if you’re in the mood for a unique fantasy setting.

Don’t Rest the Dead Ep 0: Psychopomp Siren
Taking Evil Hat’s brilliant insomnia-drenched horror game Don’t Rest Your Head and flipping it sideways, seasoning it royally with dried fragments of The Frighteners and Orpheus… and you can see pretty well how it was we got here.
This is the introduction and character creation for our session of Don’t Rest the Dead.
