Happy New Year!
And a grand Festivus to you all from the team here at Liberation Industries.
Got a couple of little bits of news for you now that dread 2017 (which crazy cult was it that predicted the end times for this year?) has finally borne down upon us. The first is, as prophesied, our early Apocalypse World sessions are due to be stricken from the internet due to our inconsistent approach to web hosting and inability to pay more than the bare minimum. Shouldn’t happen with anything we deployed after that, but if you want ’em, now is the time to grab ’em.
The second piece of news is that this darling New Year weather has not killed us yet, so we’ll be coming at you with Werewolf over the next few weeks with a spooky as can be return to the Devil John Moulton after that.
And as a New Year gift Dandy, who plays Sleeves in our Crescent Coast Werewolf game, has drawn these super cute chibis of Alex, Ava and Sleeves, the three teenage lycanthropes currently terrorizing the northern New South Wales coastline. So enjoy.

Werewolf the Forsaken Ep 13: Generational Differences Pt 1
After a brief interlude (caused to some extent by a recording failure at Liberation Industries HQ) Crescent Head teenagers Alex, Ava and Sleeves spend this episode grilling their elders for info, and being roundly disappointed by the answers that adult life provides…

Fiasco Ep 4: Ice with a Y Part 2
Our Christmas special rockets towards its gory conclusion as labyrinthine CIA plots crash headlong into Transnistria’s alarmingly well funded Antarctic Intelligence Service. Who will live to Explore the Secret Oilfields? And who will die on… the Ice!
Fiasco is an excellent little storygame created by Jason Morningstar and brought to us by Bully Pulpit Games. Give ’em some love.

Fiasco Ep 3: Ice with a Y Pt 1
We wish you happy holidays as the Liberation Industries team returns to Fiasco, and with all the snowy thoughts floating around at this time of year, The Ice seemed like the perfect playset to use!
Join Nik and Boris (diplomatic liaisons), Bryan with a Y and Bernice (happily married) and Nancy (definitely not CIA) as they unravel a twisted conspiracy formed around the usually pretty uneventful McMurdo Sound Research Base…

Werewolf the Forsaken Ep 12: Matchmakers Pt 2
Teenage Crescent Head werewolves Alex, Ava and Sleeves get a crash course in battling their ancestral enemies, the Beshilu Rat Hosts, which leaves them woefully ill equipped to deal with the nefarious plans of Ava’s mother, and the strange madness their new forms seem to spread…

Werewolf the Forsaken Ep 11: Matchmakers Pt 1
After our… actually multiple month long horror interlude, it is time for Liberation Industries to return to Crescent Head for even more horror!
Having survived their first run-in with a member of the Pure Tribes, Crescent Head teens Alex, Ava and Sleeves get back to what’s really important; prep for the end of year ball! Unfortunately, they’re not the only one’s with agendas…

Fiasco Ep 2: The Pit Pt 2
Special guests Tim and Mel join Liberation Industries for our first Halloween Special!
As the hull falls apart, the Saddleback is boarded by hostile forces, and the Box gives more of its ominous gifts, everything seems lost for the crew and civilians at the bottom of the North Sea. So… why does all this feel like it is going to plan?
For this Fiasco game we used the Objective Zebra playbook, available from the Bully Pulpit Games website. Fiasco is an old favourite for the Liberation Industries crew, and as Lovecraft enthusiasts the nods to The Temple in this playset made us very happy.
Additional soundeffects by freesfx.co.uk, who also provide out theme music, tgamel’s Analogue Boys. Check ’em out!

Fiasco Ep 1: The Pit Pt 1
Special guests Tim and Mel join Liberation Industries for our first Halloween Special!
Deep in the muck at the bottom of the North Sea, the crew and civilians aboard the USS Saddleback wait grimly for death; whether at the hands of the Nazis, starvation or the final failure of the hull. What they don’t realise is that death may already be aboard…

Devil John Ep 3: Devil in the Details Pt 3
With Redriver Church’s secrets slowly coming to light, all hell breaks loose as battles are fought and monsters demand payment. The Immortal Bastard’s warlock is revealed, and those who live and those who die are decided by Lady Luck and the devil’s chosen kin…
Our Rogues Gallery, for those who were not present while we did Scut Work for the Demiurge, is as follows:
Padre Callehandro, an ill-starred and haunted priest, vessel to Thoth’Char the Patient.
“Daddy” Harry, a disgraced former sheriff granted infernal resilience by Sally the Juggernaut.
Dee, a laconic and stealthy bounty hunter and keeper of the Twins, a pair of clear eyed monsters.
“Sister” Mary, a vengeful former nun ensnared by the promises of Marius the Inescapable.
Lottie, a well bred young lady lost to madness, companion of the charming Mister Alistair.
Wilbur, a young farmer regretting his decision to barter the love of any he desires for a piece of his heart, currently housing the irresistable Anton the Vain.
The pursuit of the Devil John awaits. Will the posse find what they’re looking for? Or will their blood moisten the crimson soil of Redriver Church?

Cacheing In
Heya folks. Got some good news and some bad news.
Bad news is that I didn’t have enough bandwidth to publish the final installment of Devil John at the end of the month. Part of that is the funny alignment of the Gregorian Calendar and my fortnightly publishing cycle, and part of it is the addition of playtest info to give as much data for the Devil John’s development as possible.
Whichever reason is responsible, the next episode will be delayed a week.
The good news is that I was able to use the tail end of my bandwidth to archive an old production of Satyros Comedy Society, the whacked out radio play Jerks in Space. First four episodes are up, and you can expect the others in the near future.
Couldn’t leave you without some entertainment, now could we?
