Real Play Games Podcast

In our inaugural episode of Out of Character, where we talk about various gaming-related topics, be they tabletop or videogame related, we hit the jackpot and GM John got a chance to pick the brain of legendary game designer from both fields, Tuomas Pirinen!  We talk about his life-long and storied history in tabletop and video game design, including his latest lead design position with the explosive miniature skirmish game Trench ...

After a very long night, an even longer morning!  After talking with the Doc a bit about the wolf situation, the sisters finally bring their good pal Dana in on the situation, and Dana gets down to doing what Dana's good at, and what the sisters are not very good at: making a plan.  As the girls try to 'live their lives like nothing's happening', they find out some intriguing developments, and is that someone st...

After making it through an explosive fight in the Mesquite Room, the sisters are left answering some questions (to the cops) and then answering some questions on their own (through communication and light breaking/entering).  The heat is getting turned up in the Cozy Caverns summertime, and if the twins don't get a handle on the situation soon, everything could potentially boil over!

Everything's out in the open, at least as far as what the gals have been investigating, and Hassan's a little shell-shocked, but with security in mind, the group decides to prep for an all-nighter, making some very strange requests when they order some pizzas from O Fortuna and trying to figure out if it's the person's religion, or the vampire's religion, that dictates whether crosses hurt vampire, or if ma...

Things're feeling a little spicier than usual in Cozy Caverns, and even as the morning begins with the two sisters having a discussion with one another, and despite a turbulent day, ends up with a romantic getaway for one couple, and some spicy touching for another?!?! What's going on in this town?

Being the civic-minded citizens that they are, the sisters do the tiniest bit of digging to find out where they can go to check up on the folks from Bon Temps when the bakery isn't open; what ensues is a whole lot of awkwardness, followed up by a whole lot of research, some more awkwardness, more research, and revelations!  For not going very far, the sisters sure do a lot of legwork!

It's another delicious meal to start the gals off on this one, and naturally, having to conversate instead of just eating means that one or the other of them are going to get themselves in trouble!  Things are getting stranger and stranger throughout town, from the sudden disappearance of the town's newest business superstars to the weird meteorological phenomena that're happening!  If only Jazz and Dani knew how to ...

After a wild experience late-night, Jazz lets Dani sleep in a little bit, which is good and enjoys first breakfast.  After rousing her sleepy sibling, the two pick off the remaining businesses they can get involved with the Chamber of Commerce idea.  Jazz clocks Clyde (in a metaphorical sense, not a punchy one) at the Millhouse Bar and Dani teaches Hassan a new way to play pool (badly) while he teaches her some moves too!

With Dani down for the count due to as-of-yet undetermined causes that're somehow linked to the Bon Temps bakery and charcuterie place, Jazz is going solo, having conversations with a bunch of single bachelors before striking it out on the town and coming into contact with the least cuddly creature she could hope to meet out on a jog!  Dani and Hassan watch robot combat shows!

Those D'Amore girls just can't stop finding body parts!  Even as they continue towards making the Chamber of Commerce an actual thing, the girls are drawn deeper into the mysteries that're plaguing the town, and they start doing a little research!  And as we all know, a little research can be a terrible thing in Cozy Caverns... especially to your gut health!

After hearing that sound that she really doesn't want to hear, Dani's left fretting over the situation, but calms down a little once she finds out that Jazz is still alive; Jazz, of course, has to get her morning run in, and does the thing that Jazz does best when she goes on runs. The day turns into a series of stops at businesses local to the area, and talks with people the sisters would rather avoid in some cases!  And...

The D'Amore sisters are back in a more permanent fashion, having gone to retrieve their things from Philadelphia and hauled them all the way out west!  The town's changed a little as well, with some businesses closing for well-deserved retirements, and others popping up with huge fanbases attached!  What kind of secrets still lurk in the town, and what kind of hunks are single and looking to mingle with Jazz?
Episode ...

It's been a little over two years in real-time since we last saw the D'Amore sisters, and there's been some changes in the wonderful little town of Cozy Caverns, but nothing too crazy could've happened?

Every one of the camp counselors still accounted for has been battered, beaten, and chased, and the death toll at Camp Tortoise Lake is continuing to climb higher as the night progresses.  Will the remaining counselors manage to evade their attackers and get out of danger, or will the campground end up being everyone's final resting place?

Things really came to a head back at that bonfire, didn't they?  With everyone scattering to the winds on account of the uninvited guest who showed up for the party, things've become a lot more dire!  Will Mac and Shawn live long enough to consummate their relationship?  Will Damien ever get to show Crystal what else he can do with his ropeworking skills?  Does anybody know how to fire a gun?!

The party's in full swing for the counselors, and some people are indulging a little more than others!  Absolutely nothing is better than period-appropriate tunes, kicking back for a few drinks with your new pals, and just vibing.  Just make sure you catch the beers when they're tossed to you; otherwise, it's alcohol abuse!

It's late May in 1987, and a whole bunch of hormone-d up camp counselors are ready for a summer full of fun, partying, and also taking care of kids, which is certainly not their first priority!  There's still another week before the camp opens properly, so all of the counselors are getting there early to help set everything up and get to know one another!  Sounds like a real fun time'll be had by all!
Episode 1/4...

It might be cold outside where you are currently, but in Vermont, the summer of 1987 is definitely heating up!  Join nine camp counselors as they embark on setting up Camp Tortoise Lake, one of the premier summer camps for kids ages 11-13 in the New England area!  There'll be excitement, counselor romances, and a bunch of other surprises.  And of course, what would a summer camp be without a terrible, existential threat?!

With the story finished for now (by the time you actually hear this we'll have already recorded at least a couple of episodes for season 2), we look back over this last season and talk about thoughts for the future,  what made us laugh, what made us want to tear our hair out, and a whole bunch of other nonsense relating to what we just did.  Enjoy, and have a lovely Winter  Holiday from John, Harm, Obie, Ru, Ames, Roy, Steve, ...
