Episodes
Discussion of the episode, some minor alteration of what happened at the end, and a nice look at what the 100 million payout will go towards.
The crew attempts to recover L3R0Y and Porkchop from the pipe to The Sink. A fortuitous surgical opportunity provides the necessary supplies for a search and rescue, while the trapped duo hangs on for dear life. Stretch steps up, and Baldwin performs perhaps the most important job of the adventure thus far. Will the lost pair be retrieved, or will the strange horrors of The Sink spell doom for them? Find out on this episode of Moth...
The mercs attempt to dupe the local drug dealer into divulging info on his operation. The exclusive drug, called Hyper, has small-time distribution at the moment, but its popularity among the local kids could change that soon enough. It’s just another day in beautiful Night City as the mercs deal with the dealer and try to get a bead on the supply chain. Hopefully the fixer, Frenchie, will approve of their methods.
A look at the final encounter and what it could mean for the party.
The crew makes their journey to Anchorpoint Station, but not without suffering the boredom and fatigue of cramped travel. Once at Anchorpoint, they try to acclimate to their new surroundings and the harsh life that’s evident on the station. From cutpurses to mercs and deadly hazards, this episode proves that even a leisurely stroll on the space station can be potentially deadly for spacefarers.
A look at character creation choices.
Everyone knows the edgerunners in Night City can’t - or at least shouldn’t - do biz without a fixer. A fixer scouts jobs, curates crews, and makes sure the right people get a cut when things inevitably go sideways. The fixer in question right now is Frenchie, who is putting together a crew of no-rep lowdown mercs for what should be a simple job. They each have their own motivations and skillsets, and hopefully this ragt...

The episode begins with the conclusion to the chase by the Zero Frames of Quito, and then quickly moves into the schemes of our smugglers. They burn through credits in a hurry attempting to prepare themselves for their offworld seed export. Plan with the crew as they determine how much plastic surgery is enough plastic surgery, how to keister the seeds in an android, and who’s comfortable with back alley surgery.
GM Sean leads the players through the final touches of their character creation. We’re introduced to each player character in turn, as Sean and the players flesh out their backstories and lives leading up to the adventure. Along the way, we discover some of the lore of Night City in the year 2045 - the Time of the Red. Join us for the first episode in a new campaign as we embrace what it means to be cyberpunk.
Shadowdark Gandalf, or lies? The plot thickens.
In the aftermath of a party death, the remaining members pick up the pieces, come into some money, and drink their troubles away in another fit of carousing. Laramie, in particular, has an eventful day as he gets deep inside of goblin culture. After the fallout from their carousing, the group finally sets off for the Glass Men - a group of petrified adventurers deep in the desert. Hoping to fulfill their bargain with Hesta the Djin...
Wounds, 420, and trickery.
Killing a Martian is no simple thing, as the crew finds out in this episode. Eager to mod themselves and cash in on the Martian corpse they produced in the last episode, the crew quickly realizes that such an act won’t go unanswered. When droids come knocking on the door of the ripperdoc, the crew is faced with the age old choice - fight or flight. Check out this episode of Games in the Dark to see which choice prevails.
We talk about character choices over meta play, and the benefits and drawbacks of random encounters!
Inside the city of Al Khesh, our trio of desert sojourners wander to the Crimson Rat - a grimey cantina filled with colorful characters. Inside, they discover traders, carousers, bandits, and gamblers of all sorts. Desperate for money, the party makes varied attempts to chisel coins out of the local patrons. Some of the party members are successful, while others are presented with deadly consequences.
What a title.
How do you begin to destabilize the economy of Mars? Obviously, you hit up a bubble tea shop and ask for black coffee. Our group of adventurers, a cobbled together group of star system capitalists, meet their black market seed contact in hopes of smuggling the nearly priceless resource off of Earth. A series of violent encounters and body modifications pepper this episode as our players acclimate to the world according to Mothershi...
