Planescape Ep 12: Orders of My Own Pt 1
As another day dawns over the wonders of Sigil, the crossroads of the multiverse, Carson the Half Elf gunslinger, Urdan the Wood Elf Ranger, Valanthe the Wood Elf Druid, Hompet the Earth Genasi and Domingo the Anthropig Mathematician are just… minding their own business. So naturally someone attempts their murder by arson.
Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition… well, how you found us before them baffles me maybe just a little. But that’s what we’re using to facilitate this session.

Soth Ep 1: Soth by Soth West Pt 1
With the help of shiny guests Josh and Monique, Liberation Industries takes its strange stylings to Soth, Steve Hickey’s game of murderous small town cults.
For all of you who have ever fantasised about murdering your neighbours, then dysfunctional disciples Armand, Dorothea and Ralph are living your dream the streets of Cold War Ashland, MA. At this stage its hard to tell whether it will be the trail of evidence they leave or their own instability that spells their doom.
You can find more of Josh’s shenanigans through the highly amusing improv group Roll for Intelligence, or keep up to date with Monique’s projects through her Twitter.

Flying Circus Ep 5: Into the Woods Pt 2
Reunited again after a tense romp through the Striges’ woods, somewhat battered pilots Francesca, Geneve and Zelig make a daring moutainside takeoff, get shortchanged by supernatural high-rollers, and brawl with the crew of muscle daddies who run the local slaughterhouse over a rent dispute.
Life in Maralto sure keeps you on your toes…
If you feel like there just isn’t enough aeropunk fantasy adventure in your life, Erika Chappell is working her heart out to get Flying Circus ready to print. While you wait, check out her other games at Newstand Press.

Flying Circus Ep 3: Birds of Ill Omen
After a bender culminating in some ill advised purchases, squadmates Francesca, Zelig and Geneve find themselves once again on the wrong end of debt collector’s attention. Despite not really understanding how the homeless mystic will pay them, they decide to take Drifty’s offer to clear the skies over the mountain pass… and run into the horrors of both Maralto’s magic, and its past.
Flying Circus is a roleplaying game currently being developed by Erika Chappell, who has created a great many quirky and fun indie-games to date under the umbrella of Newstand Press. Check ’em out!

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 2: Don’t Rest the Dead Pt 2
After a messy encounter with a projection, Henry and Tyler limp on into the depths of the ghost ridden factory, in search of the truth and their missing compatriot. But as the ghost-world around them gets more nightmarish and pervasive, will they survive long enough to understand?

Don’t Rest the Dead Ep 1: Don’t Rest the Dead Pt 1
After a previous investigation went catastrophically wrong, Corax Incorporated “cleaners” Tyler and Henry are sent in to deal with an abandoned industrial complex’s ghost problems. But with their own souls already tiptoeing on the edge of the abyss, will they be able to resolve the horrors of the past?

Blades Ep 8: The Alarming Real Estate Caper Pt 1
With their reign of terror on the Docks having some unexpected side effects, the Disciples of the Depths formulate a plan to avoid eviction from their alms house. After all, they stole it fair and square… can Miss Ruby the Spider, Veleris the Hound and their recently returned friend Talitha the Leech staunch this redevelopment plan?
Blades in the Dark is a creation of John Harper and is distributed by Evil Hat. Like its ancestor, Apocalypse World, it has begun to spawn a legion of new games… so check out Forged in the Dark if you’re interested.

Planescape Ep 9: Crunchy Cave Lobster Pt 2
With their delicious assailant slain, the party plots the best way past the Duergar guards. The plan is more or less what we have grown to expect from Carson, Urdan and Domingo…
This is a recording of a Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition game, and this is perhaps the closest we have come to a dungeon. There were, however, no dragons in this episode.

Planescape Ep 8: Crunchy Cave Lobster Pt 1
With some of their usual adventure buddies on sabbatical, Carson the Half Elf Gunslinger, Urdan the Wood Elf Ranger and Domingo the Anthropig Mathematician set out on a planar jaunt to rob a Duergar strongpoint. Ideally causing as much chaos and destruction as they can in the process.
These Planescape episodes are currently operating on Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition, with a generous helping of random generators from across DnD’s highly diverse history.
