Ringworld: Journey of the Catseye Part 1

maxwriter — Mon, 21 May 2012 06:06:19 +0000

In the year 2866, four men were hired to help crew the ship Catseye on a quest to discover a huge structure beyond Known Space. The ship’s goal: locate a new antiagathic drug to replace boosterspice.

Shea McQuiston had been a colonist and police officer. Todd Stevenson had also formerly been a cop. Kip Strange was a geneticist and writer. Victor Takanawa was an engineer. The two police officers would fill out part of the crew as security, while Strange and Takanawa would be working more closely with the scientists and crew of the Catseye.

I ran a game of Ringworld with friends Steve, Jeff, Ken, and Erik in order as a one-shot to test out the game for a review in Knights of the Dinner Table Magazine. This game took place on December 13, 2009. The audio recorder gave out halfway through the session, though no actual game play was lost. The game is concluded in Part 2.

Privateers and Gentlemen: King Over the Water

maxwriter — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 22:23:30 +0000

In 1758, the Seven Years War, also known as the French and Indian War, had been going on for four years. But in February, it was hard to detect signs of war in England. The Channel Fleet, unwilling to continue its blockade of the French ports during the dreary, stormy winter months, was spending the winter in harbor.

One of those unwilling to postpone the war until spring was Master and Commander George Walker, the young captain of the sloop of war HMS Dolphin of 18 guns. Walker was new to the Dolphin, as were his two subordinate officers: Lt. Henry Cooper and the Honorable James Weatherby, son of the late Earl of Weatherby and also a lieutenant.

I ran a game of Privateers and Gentlemen with friends Jeff, Erik, and Steve as a one-shot to test out the game for a review in Knights of the Dinner Table Magazine. This game took place on Jan. 25, 2010.

maxwriter — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 23:25:14 +0000

Two daring heroes have started up a Ghostbusters Franchise in Bryan, Ohio, in the hopes of cashing in on the money of every local between Toledo, Ohio, and Fort Wayne, Indiana. Curtis Kerplowski and Brent Bradington are hopefully on their way to fame and fortune – but unfortunately were unable to get the requisitioned Ectomobile and instead ended up with a VW Bug. They’ve been assured it’s only temporary …

I ran Ghostbusters International with friends Matt and DJ as a one-shot to test out the game for a review in Knights of the Dinner Table Magazine. Though the game was played on May 3, 2009, it takes place in 1989, not long after the Ghostbusters made their comeback in the U.S.

Dungeons and Dragons 4E: Dark Sun – The Caravan Rescue Episode 1

SageNytell — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 02:54:00 +0000

A dry wind blows through the endless deserts of Athas – is it perhaps a wind of change, the last breath of a dying world, or is it simply the harsh exhalation of triumph of the sorceror-kings that hold the sands in their deathless grip? One small group of travelers, brought together from around the desiccated world, must band together to dare these ceaseless winds and save the lost members of a decimated merchant house before the sands (and the darker things that dwell there) swallow them up forever.

A 4E Dark Sun game from the Fiftheye Productions crew, this is a part one of a three-session game that was meant to be something more, but never came to fruition. Fun was still had, and a lot of great roleplaying was done, so it is submitted for your enjoyment.

Our players:
Mike, the DM;
Graz, playing a human Avenger and Templar serving the Sorceror-King of Balic;
Sean, playing a half-giant Barbarian and former slave who has unwittingly involved himself in the affairs of Spiders;
Marcus, playing a Raam-born Human Swordmage

Pantheon: Black Holes RULE!

SageNytell — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 23:50:49 +0000

In the beginning, there is an infinite black void. What do you do?

If you’re part of this particular pantheon, plenty. Thrills! Chills! Things that gravitational forces probably don’t do but we had it happen anyway!

A fun game featuring three regulars of Fiftheye Productions and four guest players, this game went all over the map. Enjoy our antics!

A Hyrule United: D&D 4th Edition Legend of Zelda, Episode 2

SageNytell — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 23:44:25 +0000

We remember the tower, the black sentinel casting dark shadows over the graveyard, but no one has dared to scale its’ height in many years, and Kakariko Village has long learned that living in fear is preferable to dying from curiosity. But when events demand further exploration into the old legends, what will our intrepid heroes learn when they dare to climb the old Windmill?

A 4E game from the Fiftheye Productions crew, this is a scenario set in the universe of the Legend of Zelda games. The second and final game in the aborted campaign, this is much more role-playing heavy, and goes a little further into the backstory our GM had created. Our final game as a unified group, we’ll never know where this campaign might have gone, but it’s still a fun game.

Listen for:
-Circus Snacks
-Traditional Zelda Enemies
-Yo dawg, I heard you like Zelda so we put Zelda in your Zelda so you can save the princess while you’re saving the princess!

Our players:
Chris, the DM;
Mike, playing a Hylian graveyard sage;
Sean, playing a Goron warrior;
Graz, playing a Kokiri musician;
Lauren, playing a Zora guard;
and Karen, playing a Gerudo flame magician.

Join us, as we awaken more links of our shadowed history!
