Legends Of Tabletop Podcast

Mike Shaw – Bridgett Tip Palmer – Dave Harry Stanton – John H Keeper – Keeper Doc Our scenario begins in 1923 shortly following the publication of an intriguing work by a mutual friend of the investigators. This intrepid Author invites his friends and occasional collaborators to join him at a “stimulating” symposium in New Orleans where attendees plan to discuss their work on the dark recesses of human ideology and behavior. This eccentric summit held in the French Quarter offers intriguing promise to seasoned investigators and tantalizes the uninitiated, not to mention guarantees a great deal of after-hours revelry. When investigators arrive at the luxurious lodging arranged by the Author the day before the symposium is scheduled to begin, they discover both the Author and their host, Count Cazenave, have gone missing. Though they receive a warm greeting from the house staff, investigators learn that neither their friend nor the host ever returned since leaving for a social engagement the prior evening.

John Baltisberger is an author of speculative and genre fiction that often focuses on Jewish Elements. Through his writing, he has explored themes of mysticism, faith, sin, and personal responsibility. He lives in Austin, TX with his wife and his daughter. Though mostly known for his bizarre blend of Jewish mysticism and splatter, John defies being labeled under any one genre. His work has spanned extreme horror, urban fantasy, science fiction, cosmic horror, epic verse, and he has even written a guide for mindful meditation. While relatively new to the writing community, (his first book was published in 2018) John has become known for his work in verse, having worked in both extremely short works and massive novella-length poetic epics. He continues to work to push himself to explore new avenues of expression and horror literature. https://kaijupoet.com/ https://twitter.com/kaijupoet CORE Products: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?filters=100202_0_0_0_0 https://www.etsy.com/shop/MidwestResinGee

Ulla Vangelis – Leslie Reggie Carlisle – John (Beta) Trae Mowaka- Jesse Jack Nash – John (Prime) GM- Tod Foley Trae turns and bangs on the RV loud enough to wake everyone inside. "Mister Nash," he says, "we are in danger. There is a Strike Team in the area." Opening a visual to Nash, Trae taps his wrist to indicate the six violet blades of his tattoo. The drone slowly descends below the treeline. There's a very tense minute while nothing happens. Reggie decides to tries astral-projecting himself out to do some recon. A little transparent ghostly image of Baby Reggie moves out into the surrounding forest, searching for this alleged strike team, and finding nothing but the sleek black drone. It's flashing a digital pattern on its external screen: SKULL SKULL HALO. Reggies snaps back to his body in the jar and tells Trae what he's seen. Trae thinks for a bit, and then sends his own drone up, moving it out to hover over the CRABB drone in the woods. Using the onboard lasers, he fires a series of blasts into

Ulla Vangelis – Leslie Reggie Carlisle – John (Beta) Trae Mowaka- Jesse Jack Nash – John (Prime) GM- Tod Foley The group heads out with Ulla taking charge of teaching the children hunting, waterfinding, and survival techniques. After a day they reach her bug-out spot, and decide to take rest there for the night while they discuss their options. Ulla knows that taking them to Union City will raise all sorts of eyebrows and their fate would be uncertain, even though the UBI would ensure they would not starve. Trae points out that the group is much slower and easier to track if the kids stay with them (a point which Ulla and Nash are quick to stifle). Chiyan wants to go to Union City, while Dain would prefer to stay with the group. Whisper, who has been practicing telepathy and imitating everything Reggie does, sends a psychic message to him: "I want to stay with you too." Eventually they hit on the idea of relocating Ulla's clan, to see if they might provide a home for the kids. Ulla decides it's likely the

Zuchy - Kurt Smokey MacManus - Kevin Huxley Peterson – John H GM – Jesse Early in the 22nd Century, war broke out between superpowers. For years, a combination of governments, fanatic organizations, and corporate entities began to vie for control as the power structure broke down into complete chaos. Now there's no known record of who released the first explosion; it could have been a fascist dictator, a terror cell, or some maniacal CEO, but at this point it really doesn't matter. All we know is nuclear weapons, from B61s to dirty bombs, were deployed. This left behind large areas of deadly radiation called the Burnt, most of which still lingers today. It only took a few weeks for nearly the entire global nuclear arsenal to be released. That was a few decades ago. Over time, the wars just kind of died down. Now, small pockets of manageable radiation allowed survivors to gather, setting up conclaves of humanity. They needed supplies and equipment in order to survive though. Luckily, there were still resou

Ulla Vangelis – Leslie Reggie Carlisle – John (Beta) Trae Mowaka- Jesse Jack Nash – John (Prime) GM- Tod Foley Trae flips to his drone view to see that a child named "Max" has fallen into a fissure - into water below. There's chaos as the adults push the other kids out of the way, because they're all excited about finding fresh water. One of the adults calls Whisper to the front of the line, ordering her to climb up into the crack Max just fell through. They want to know how far down the water is. Ulla is the first to speak. "Ok I'm ready to go kill people. Who's with me?" and Trae pulls out his gun. Nash looks over and tells him "Trae, you are officially loose." As the group hustles down-tunnel toward the work site, Reggie establishes telepathic communication with Whisper. Splashing into the freezing water, she calls out "I've got him! I've got Max!" His body is cold. As the connection is broken, Reggie feels the rope pulling at her waist. By the time they get down there, every adult in town is stan

Ulla Vangelis – Leslie Reggie Carlisle – John (Beta) Trae Mowaka- Jesse Jack Nash – John (Prime) GM- Tod Foley Whisper is called away by Frenzy as the locals wander off, and the gang finds an unoccupied cave to bed down in. Ulla expresses her concern about Whisper. Reggie focuses on a Lucid Dream and tries to locate the child. As his little body trembles with effort, he sees Whisper being herded into another room with a bunch of other children, all between the ages of 5-12. They are being equipped with flashlight helmets and tools for digging. They are a labor force. Suddenly Whisper turns around and looks straight back at him, eyes wide in shocked surprise -- and then the connection is cut. Reggie tells everyone what he saw. The weird thing was being seen: Reggie has projected himself many times before, but no one has ever noticed him before -- with the notable exception of The Frank. The group discusses the idea of intervening, and decides to keep an eye on the situation. Ulla is getting upset with Nash

Tonight was our session 0 for our new Runner campaign. Runners was designed by Jesse Pyne and uses the CORE RPG System, created by Tod Foley. Runners is set in the near-ish future after the onset of nuclear war. There are still pockets of humanity that have managed to survive and even thrive in this new world. Their lives are not without danger, from lingering radiation, mutated animal and people, bandits and simple lack of resources. That's where Runners come in. They are the brave (some may say foolish) few that risk everything in traveling the Burnt.

Ulla Vangelis – Leslie Reggie Carlisle – John (Beta) Trae Mowaka- Jesse Jack Nash – John (Prime) GM- Tod Foley Trae tosses the canister and lid to Ulla. Examining the interior of the lid, she's shocked to find a message embossed into the metal: "YOU WILL RETURN WHAT YOU HAVE TAKEN." She shows it to the others. Ulla comes clean and tells them about the experimental implants in her head. She was "designed," she explains, to function as a first-generation cyber-assassin for Wolfram. The system in her head is worth billions. She actually performed several missions for them -- including one that took out an important lieutenant of their enemy "The Fate Broker" and his army of "whisperer" informants -- but eventually she grew tired of their mistreatment and fled. They continue walking eastward, talking as they go. Ulla is experimenting with her new senses, mastering the use of this nano-swarm like a new skill, and becoming hyper-aware of things in her general area. Ulla becomes aware that there is a group o

Ulla Vangelis – Leslie Reggie Carlisle – John (Beta) Trae Mowaka- Jesse Jack Nash – John (Prime) GM- Tod Foley It's been a long night. Ulla and Nash clean their wounds, and everybody takes turn on watch while getting some sleep. While on watch, Nash cleans the weapons and mounts Erstlinger's gun on the base of Reggie's jar. Trae uses his watch shift to mess with the "Fred" killbot. He manages to get it online again, but without proper electronics equipment, his fix probably won't last long. Later that afternoon they take off into the badlands heading east by southeast (the direction Erstlinger had pointed). Reggie and Nash are discussing the difference between reality and memories when a vortex suddenly opens up ahead, and sitting at its edge is a military-drab 2-liter canister with a row of red blinking lights on top. Nash instantly recognizes it as live ordnance, and shouts for everyone to hit the deck. Reggie pushes with all his mental power in an attempt to shut the vortex, but instead he only manage
