0.10 – A Threat Is a Kind of Promise – Unknown Armies

2h 35m · Dice Punks · 01 Dec 23:47

It's taken longer than we had planned (though we hope you enjoyed the one-shots in the interim, but this week we're here with Des GMing this initial episode of our mini-campaign in Greg Stolze & John Tweet's post-modern urban horror RPG, Unknown Armies (2nd edition)! Listen as a terrible band meets their biggest fan under the most unusual circumstances, and tries to track down a missing name!

As the poet once said... "Name" by The Goo Goo Dolls.

"Theme of the Dice Punks" and its acoustic version are by Drew.

2.2 – Pre-Auction Action – Borrowed Light

Having gotten the gang together somewhat reluctantly, they now start to prepare to disrupt a dangerous auction with a mix of caution, distrust, care, and tomfoolery!

This one was a real crunch to get edited and posted (late) thanks to IRL things, so it's more lightly edited than most, with more background noise, more dead air, that sort of thing. Hopefully, it's not to the detriment of its enjoyability, and perhaps Adam will get to clean it up more in the future!

"Augment or Die" is by Emerson Boatwright and Drew Messinger-Micheals.

2.1 – People of GPol – Borrowed Light

Our second full campaign, "Borrowed Light," gets off to its official start! We're playing Hard Wired Island by Paul Matijevic, Freyja Erlingsdottir, and Minverva McJanda, and meeting our cagey team of eventually-heroes on their home turf of the Seldon District.

2.0 – Session Zero – Borrowed Light

Welcome to our second full campaign, "Borrowed Light," playing Hard Wired Island by Paul Matijevic, Freyja Erlingsdottir, and Minverva McJanda!

This is our session zero -- basically a planning session we've recorded and put in the feed as part demonstration, part explanation, part preparation, and part revelation (by which I mean, it's kind of a type of Dice Peeks in feel, which is why it doesn't have its own Peeks in the Patreon feed).

We hope this episode is entertaining, informative, and useful going forward into the campaign, and we hope you enjoy the official start of Borrowed Light in episode 2.1 - People of GPol, posting shortly!

As the poet once said... "Stars" by Hum.

"Lithium Twilight" and "Sprezzatura" are by neon shudder.

0.15B – Dice Peeks, Exiles

Welcome to the after-show, patrons and other listeners alike! Since we're releasing one-shots to tide you over while we rebuild our buffer of Hard Wired Island episodes, and our Patreon is currently paused, we're putting the Peeks for Exiles here and on our Patreon's public feed -- we hope you enjoy this look at what could be yours twice a month if you support us with real, actual dollars!

0.15 – Forgetting & Remembering – Exiles

This one-shot in Ben Klug's moody, contemplative game of item descriptions, Exiles, is a somber, silent, GM-less journey into the bleak world and fractured history of four wanderers in darkened lands...

This month's in-between one-shot is a different kind of thing than we've done so far, a lot quieter, in both literal and figurative senses. We hope you enjoy it; it was very rewarding to record!

The intended experience of these in-between one-shots in March and April 2024 is to be a little woolier, so we hope you still enjoy them -- and look in the main feed for the Dice Peeks after-show, since these are being released while our Patreon is temporarily paused!

We are still bringing you our Hard Wired Island campaign, Borrowed Light -- and in fact, this episode is ever so slightly late going up due to recording toward our buffer for that campaign!

As the poet once said... "The Arsonist" by Thrice.

Exiles is by Ben Klug.
