with Aaron from The Great White and Norse. Oh yeah that's me. Hi,
good afternoon, except it's evening or night. Yeah. No, I've
not been up to too much this week. I miss my birthday yesterday,
so that was that was all right? Way to go? Yeah, just
getting older, that's better than the alternative. Yeah. Other than that,
I got the Band of Blades book and I'm really excited about that. I
love like the Evil Hat publishing stuff and the fortune of the Dark System I
just think is kind of cool. So that's what I'm excited about this week.
Other than that, I'm just getting ready for Christmas spending all my money.
What do you Yeah, I guess everybody should tell us what do you
What do you do for Christmas? Oh? For me, uh, it's
gonna be a quiet Christmas. Like so, like, I got some weirdness
because I'm half Jewish, so like we're we're kind of doing like a weird
Hanuka but not really and then sort of Christmas but not really. But we
are going out to my loss on boxing, so that'll be fun. And
I'm not saying that because I actually like my in laws. In case they
are listening, I'm sorry, you guys are gonna be boxing. No Boxing
Day day, it's what they call it in Canada. Is it not called
that it's the day off Christmas? Having having worked for Games Workshop, I
am aware of a boxing Day because that's a UK thing as well, So
that's like it has nothing to do with Mike Tyson, mummad Ali, like
George Formant, none of that. I don't know why it's called boxing Day,
perhaps, Aaron. I think it's honestly called boxing Day because it's like
the day where everything goes on sales. So like it's like we have Black
Friday now, but we we have Black Friday before on the twenty six you
would go and buy all the shit. Oh so like when you say boxing,
we mean like cardboard boxes, yes, boxing, not like fisty cuffs,
got it? Yeah, and start fighting each other for like, right,
that is so disappointing. That's like, that's as disappointing as learning that.
Like the packers are called the packers because they used to fucking pack check
factory. I think, Yeah, like how lame, right, that sounds
like a thousand dollars idea. Yeah, well, okay, cool well,
Happy Birthday, Happy Boxing Day and all that jazz and yeah, enjoy your
time. Cool well, Sean, who are you? I'm Sean. I'm
gonna be playing uh Franklin Nichols uh the Homeless Mage uh. And this Christmas,
my brother's coming up from Kentucky, so he's gonna come visit, bringing
his daughter, and so we're gonna hang out with the family, eat a
bunch of food, chill, and then I'll see you on New Year's Eve.
Oh yes, plans are in motion. It's gonna be glorious. Yeah
wait, I can't wait. After the fucking week I had at work,
man, I got no fucking sleep. Oh the calls just kept coming in
and coming in and just fucking awful. I slept like a god last night.
I did not wake up until noon. It was fucking glorious. Oh
man. I felt so refreshed, Oh man, The first thing I did
is I told Matt, I'm like, I supped like I got last night.
He's like, dude, I didn't get up till eleven thirty. I
was like, nice, nice, good feeling. Right. Yes, sometimes
you're he just shuts down, you know, and just you can't do anymore.
So that's exactly what happened last night. Wonderful all right A cute Listeners
may have noticed a new voice creeping around in the background. We've got another
special guest courtesy of Adam are good or a new good friend. I should
say, Dio, welcome to the show. Oh hello, this is Dio.
I couldn't really wait it. Plus, if I get any chance to
say something stupid or funny, I will, But I'm going to be playing,
as he would imagine himself a night or Raoul Bandia. He's a inspiring,
aspiring actor who is trying to make it into the big leagues and with
the only experience that he has really just being a mascot for a what was
it the Seattle baseball team? Yeah, the Seattle Mariner moose? Is that
his actual art that were that you have right there? Is that him?
Oh? Yeah, that's he looks way cooler than I thought. Dude in
the mascot suit was gonna he's got the mascot. What did you see?
He's ripped, He's got John, He's got a sweet ass mohawk. He
sucks. Here's here's him before, this is this is what he? Uh,
well, you guys ever, you guys ever really met him? Did
you like the phone? Then he yeah? And then he got he got
his ship together and is now ready. He's no longer rahul pandea, he
is now night Runner. I mean, as Di said, he oh yeah,
based on that routine he built, we know he fus Oh yeah yeah.
Back for my hYP gyrating. Most of that work was done in the
mascot costume. That's why it smelled the way it did. Yeah, good
for you, Good for you. This gymnastics score must be through the roof.
Hell yeah, that's pretty awesome. It's pretty cool. Well, welcome
to the show. Deal. We are happy to have you, especially because
Scar decided to not answer our text and uh, who knows what he's doing.
He better be dead because if he's not, there's no reason he shouldn't
be. Hopefully everything's okay. Hopefully he's dead, because otherwise he's wishful.
Think we're just going to assimilate his podcast and merge it with our Discord channel.
And this is how it begins as we slowly take over. This is
the beginning of the Mega Corps. So Mary, Merry fucking Christmas, Scar,
and that's how we got and that's how we got Max instead of HBO
Max. Yeah, blame Scar. Yep. This is traditional. If someone's
not here, we talked shit about them. So yeah, that's just what
happens, especially if you show up if you're not here and you don't tell
us why. I can only imagine, so yeah, the shit talking will
commence anyway. Who else we got? Adam? Hi, Yes, my
name is Adam. Hello, excuse me, Hello, I'm Adam. I'll
be your game master. I will be playing everybody other than the guys that
these guys are playing. Let's see what else this This past week, I
have not been up to too much, just working and like it's been a
little bit slow at work, which drives me a little bit nuts. But
you know, hey, that's okay. I've been listening to more Shadow Run
podcasts. I caught up again now with where our our good friend Ridian was
here last time caught up with where they're at on their show Pride Against Prejudice.
Check them out, And I started listening to I didn't know it existed,
and now I do. It's called I Don't Run Origins. Uh,
it's OPTI, the like the man, the myth, the legend himself,
the guy that does all the history stuff. He also has an actual play
series. It's him and then the guy excuse me, the guy that ran
the archology podcast, and then a couple of friends running through the old,
old old school shadow run Adventures from first edition from the twenty fifties, and
man, it's it's pretty cool. So I've been listening to that in a
lot of power metal. That's what's nice, nice cool? And what are
you doing for Christmas? What am I doing for Christmas? So we're having
the fam over at my house. It's gonna be uh, you know,
all the all the people that are fairly local. You know, most of
my family has dispersed in the four corners of the country, so they're a
little bit far away. Moy's family is all in a pretty reasonable couple of
minutes to drive, so we're all gonna be doing it here. I'm also
like some percentage of Jewish. So we have like manoras up and Christmas tree
and you know, the bizarre hybrid situation and so yeah, but we're just
doing like, you know, Christmas even though you know, but yeah,
my wife's birthday is also Christmas day, so we just did her Christmas or
not Christmas. Don't oh God, don't tell her it's Christmas her birthday celebration.
Uh. Today I'm a couple of couple of pomegranate moscow mules. Deep.
I am ready to fucking party, all right, lovely, you know
I didn't ask you what are you doing for Christmas? Uh? So I'm
going to be doing a lot of cooking. I'm essentially making something we call
beef there. It's it's like a beef essentially. It's a it's a we've
had this tradition at home, like because it is like a traditional Mexican dish
where you basically create like a beef stock and then you you you blend a
bunch of like peppers and just toss it in there. It's it's not as
it's like simple as that, but uh, it's gonna be quite the process.
I'm gonna be probably cooking it for like a good four hours. Oh
wow, nice sounds good? Do you is a hell of a cook?
I don't I don't know if you guys know this. You guys definitely don't
know this. You guys. He makes crazy like this, this spicy like
Mexican inspired lasagna. It's it was fucking fire holy, that was what chardi
so uh. I think it was like it was a very local cheese around
here. Gets what chua. I didn't really see it around many two,
like I went to I moved to Florida, and I didn't see it anywhere
until like I think, maybe a year into living there. I swear it
probably just followed me. But you won't find much in Florida other than covid
so well mana fair but the majority of that dish was just basically instead of
using uh, the small little green tomatoes called the maatios, I used just
regular tomato and just basically made us alsa and just kind of use it as
a marinade for for all of that. And in said ricotta used a more
malchi cheese. Mm hmmm. It was it was like a case I deea
with pasta anchortiso cool ounds delicious? Well, I am the Great Unclean One,
your host, and I will again be playing a thrack better known as
Knuckles, the the Orc Biker Bouncer. And you guys all have much more
interesting Christmas plan than I do because my family is out of state. But
I don't really like to hang out and do shit. I would rather enjoy
my days off, you know, enjoying a day off. So my Christmas
is probably going to consist of getting some Chinese food from the local Chinese restaurant,
catching up on some painting, and uh, I might watch the quote
unquote remake of A Conan The Barbarian with Jason Lamo before it goes off on
Netflix. So oh, I never saw that one. I did see it.
It was it was okay, like it's you know, if you just
accept going in like it's not going to replace Arnold, right, like we
all know that's never gonna happen. Just enjoy it for an up to date
Conan movie, and it's fine. Here they need to I don't know if
they're doing this or not, but they need to do King Cone. And
now that we got Old Man Arnold like a like another yeah, yeah,
I would. I would pay fifteen dollars to go see that new movie theater
they better have in the former Governor of California and the title. Yeah.
So uh yeah, that's that's my uh my day off that I have planned.
And uh we are in the home stretch. I finished painting the Lord
of Irelands today. I popped him in the discord you guys can check out
in the Tail of Gamers and I uh as as Aaron Adam pointed out,
I've been keep saying that I'm working on the filer, but we are in
the final stretch of that as well. We've got basics done and it well,
it has to be done by Saturday. So with this weekend and having
Monday off, I plan to get a ton of painting done and have that
guy ready for next week for our tail Gamers conclusion, so that'll be done.
And then we did a whole bunch of test models for Zomba side.
I've been messing around with that for our hopefully monthly gaming group we're going to
start doing. And was messing around with some NFL high highlighting, which I've
never done before and had some pretty cool turnouts, So trying to come to
some ideas for that as well. And then Sean I got Earnie a Christmas
present, more of a bank you present for kind of starting tenth edition forty
K with me and learning the game with me. But I found this cool
shop on Etsy. I actually there's two of them. So he always forgets
or we always forget which unit he put his Oath of Moment on for his
his space rings. It's one of their special abilities. Yeah. So I
found a little atsy shop where they do like random tokens. So I got
him a big token. It's like maybe a little bit bigger than a quarter,
and it's it's got a big bold letters oath of Moment with like a
like a space marine skull like with like the wings, you know. So
I got him one of those, and that actually showed up today, which
I was getting worried because that came all the way from like England, that's
where the guy was, and it should have been here like two weeks ago,
but they must assented by carrier pigeon. So at least it got here
finally. And then the other thing I got him is ats store. I
got this really cool little like track or that lets you keep track of like
what turn it is, your command points, and then your victory points for
primary and secondary editions are admissions, and you could choose like the colors that
the guy made it out of, and I got him to put like like
the like the space marine skull on there, and I thought that'll be pretty
cool too, So I'll post those in chat here in a minute. So
I'm really really still actually won't because he's in here. I don't want him
to see the gifts. So I was hoping to give him to him today,
but he wasn't able to go to Titan, so I just hung around
painting all day and we will see him next week when we meet up for
Tail of Gamers. So yeah, pretty pretty excited about that. And yeah,
man been playing a shit ton of Dead by Daylight. They got a
winter event going on right now, so been getting lots of lots of points
for that as well. So all in all, it's been it's been good
and catching up on movies and shows. Finally I finished watching last week.
I meant the guy tell you guys this. Any of you guys seen the
show on Netflix called Daybreak. It's like a zombie comedy. Zombie. No,
I don't have you know Netflix, guys. I know, I know
everybody that works at Netflix is listening to this. Can you make it through?
I can steal my brother in law's password again? Please come on?
That's that's too bad. Well anyway, Daybreak was only on for a season,
but it's a it's a show, you know, it's like a you
know, there's an apocalypse end of the world and there's quote unquote zombies.
But basically it's a comedy and it focuses on the idea is that the kids,
like the teenagers for some reason, are not affected by the bombs that
drop and they stay normal. And it's like all the adults who turn into
quote unquote zombies, Like they move around and they shuffle like zombies, and
they like bite and scratch you and they try to eat you. But if
you get bitch, you know, want to like turn into a zombie.
And like the quirk that they have is like they keep muttering the same thing
they were thinking right before they died. So like all these like adult zombies
are going around and they're like they're at the shopping mall, for example,
and there's one lady on in the parking lot. She's like fifteen percent off
yoga pants. They're like, oh, sh she's coming. It's amazing.
She definitely had a priority straight. Yeah. So it's like, yeah,
it's like stuff like that, you know, like eggs from the store.
I gotta go to eggs and myths from the store, you know, like
weird shit like that. But it's it's pretty funny. It's it's a good
show. I really enjoyed it. It was a nice twist on the zombie
thing. And the main character does a lot of fourth wall breaking where he's
like directly talking to the camera like, oh, you're probably wondering what's about
to happen in this scene, or like how I got here. So it
focuses on like a bunch of team drama. Basically, all the different like
clicks in the school have turned into like different like quote unquote like tribes or
groups of survivors. So the job the jocks are still wearing like all their
football equipment, but they've like mad max it out with like spikes and shit.
Soies. Yeah, it's it's really funny and it has Uh if anybody's
seen the new Chucky TV series, the actress who plays Lexiu is in this.
But it's it's a couple of years before so I think the actress who
plays Lexi now is probably like sixteen or seventeen, so in this she's only
maybe like maybe ten or twelve. But she plays like this pyromaniac like little
girl who has like survived the apocalypse and has like a custom little handbuilt like
flamethrower, and she rolls around on those fucking shoes that have those stupid roller
skates built into the man's hilarious man. And then Matthew Broderick plays the principle
and he has a great part in it. So if nothing else, I'll
watch it for Matthew Broderick because he is he does he kill anyone in a
car accident, not in a car accident, but no, but go check
it out. I haven't forgotten Matthew Broderick, I know. And then I
finally started watching Wednesday, and oh my god, is a fucking riot.
I've got one episode left and Jenny or Jenna Ortega fucking crushes it at Wednesday.
Great casting all around. And the actress who plays Brian of Ptarth is
in that show. Yeah I don't know her name. Yeah, she plays
the principal of the school that that she goes to. And Catherine Zeita Jones
plays more Titia, So it's it's great man, and Uncle Fester finally showed
up towards the end of the season. Thing is in there. It's great,
man, It's it's hilarious. There are so many good little like nods
to the movies and the old TV show, Like just a lot of good
little jokes. If you're an Adams Family fan, you'll definitely like it.
And if you're not, it's just it's so hilarious. Man. I just
god, Wednesday is like me in so many regards with just how she hates
everything. So the got a kindred soul there. You know, I'd really
love it. So check that out too. And I watched U five seven
one today because that's about to go off on Netflix. I was like,
I need a I need just a good movie. So, man, what
an all star cast in that. You've got a young Matthew McConaughey, Bill
Paxton, Keith David and uh there was a guy who was from the remake
of Dawn of the Dead that Zack Schneider did. I don't know the actor's
name, but he's one of the main characters. No, no, it
wasn't Vin Rains. It was. It was Uh, it was the white
guy who survives almost up to the end of the movie that the main character
starts to like form a relationship with and they have to they have to leave
him behind right at the end. I don't remember. I don't I don't
know the actor's name, but uh, yeah, man maybe. Oh and
then uh, the fucking guy that plays the wolf from Pulp Fiction is in
there too. Oh yeah, he was. He was brilliant. He plays
like the the chief officers. He's like the one, you know, he's
like kind of between like the officers and the cruise. He's the one going
around like telling people like fucking do your ship and listen to your orders.
So yeah, great, great stuff. So I'm feeling great, man.
And then I went I took Aaron's advice. I went and got some fucking
ice cream like a grown ass person. Uh. Oh yeah, I was
like, I got a sweet tooth. I had to go grow up some
groceries from jewel before it becomes madness because of Christmas. And there's this there's
this like Mexican like ice cream shop on the corner of the strip. Mall
me guess, let me check on that. I've fucking lived here for like,
you know, five or six years and we've never gone there. I
was like, you know what, I'm gonna do that, and I got.
I got a sprinkle cone waffle cone with a scoop of hort Shota flavored
ice cream. Yeah, and a scoop of coconut flavored ice cream, and
not just coconut flavored ice cream, but like the good coconut that like the
Mexican coconut, the creamy shit with the coconut shavings, like you ever had,
like a coconut bar from like the Mexican grocery store, or like if
you ever see a like a dude on a little the little ice cream cart
going around your town, get your do yourself a favor and get yourself either
a coconut bar or a mango bar. It'll fucking change your life. And
please and please get as many as you can. Please support these guys with
the carts. They oh yeah, great ship. My my boss when I
was working at the funeral home years ago, when I first got into the
business, we were we were driving back and he was like, have you
ever had a mango bar? And I was like no, And he saw
a guy driving one of those carts and we stopped. We're in the fucking
van, We've got a fucking body in the back, and he orders us
some mango bars and we're eating mango bars on the way back to the funeral
home. I'm like, this is really fucking good. And then I saw
one and then here's there was Uh. There was a guy that was riding
one of those carts in the neighborhood right next to the college that I went
to for mortuaries, and I would always see him on the way home every
every time when I was leaving the school. He was usually in the area
by what's that that small airport up and Wheeling, Oh, Pelwaukee. Yeah,
it's called uh or something, Executive air Woodfield, Executive Airport, something
like that. Now I think he used to be Pulwaukee though, Yeah,
you're right. So anyway, yeah, just just north of there. I'd
always see him cruising. So one day I chased him down and I got
myself a mango bar, and I was like, oh, yeah, this
is this is what I was meant to be. So it's the story,
Like, the version of this that just was created in my mind is probably
so much more exciting than what actually happened. Uh, we'll put it.
We'll put it in the show that we eventually turned my life into. So
anyway, I'm I'm feeling great right now. I'm fucking pumped. So I
am here, Adam take it away, all right, let's let's get fucking
going here. So, uh, normally we kicked this off with a recap
of what's going on, but we got special circumstances tonight. You guys are
all in the car. You're headed to see mister Johnson. Now you guys
haven't actually met night Runner before, but you met him. Now you guys

it, Like that's all you can get. Like he's like, you know,

the Humanist poly Club. They're not Uh. If something happens to them,
no one's gonna shed any tears, he says, he says, no one's
gonna shed any tears, and then he kind of looks around and looks at

says, my name is Jacques. By the way, callby Ford. Oh
so I'm with all of you guys, right, yeah, yeah, So
okay, just to just to kind of understand, like what's I saw that
you told me that I'm my own actor, but like what's my purpose of
being here specifically? I'm just trying to try to catch myself up here are

Uh but no, this this is you know, your your setup. You
are an actor and your this is this is your show. It's called night
Runner, and you are playing the role of a rookie shadow Runner and this
is part of the whole stick. You're meeting up with mister Johnson. You

So I'm just here now, like as far as it goes, my agents
told me I have the job to be night Runner or Ford is the night
Runner. No, you're a night Runner. No no, no, not
the Runner. Now I'm the agent. Sorry, no, no. These
guys are part of your team. They're they're part of the you're you're your
team for the show. Oh oh oh, so so like this is the
set now there's yeah, you're you're filming. Yeah, oh ship, Okay,
that's what's wrong kid? You look white as a ghost. Right,
Uh sorry, I've got a new to this. Yeah the first for all
you know? Oh all right? Righteous? Uh yeah, old was we
were just popping his cherry not too not too long ago, right, differently
than that, Yeah, I don't know if I like the term popping his
cherry for okay, well, render points to his chest with his thumb and
it just goes I've popped quite a few cherries and might say truly not surprising.
But he but he reaches his hand out and he shakes your hand back.
Very good. Yeah, And and Ford will walk out to his car,
which is waiting for them, like almost right by the door. Yeah,
do you guys get into the car then you start rolling? Tell you
guys, I don't know, maybe like fifteen minutes to get there, so
you've got a little bit of time to kind of sit there. And you
guys sit there, I guess probably fairly awkwardly, and uh, to ignore
the drooling elf. He's not normally like this. We don't. Oh he's
not here. No, he's back at the bumper. He's entirely at the
compound totally. You'll see to yourself then, yeah, this is cozy.
Yeah, Adam, I do have a question about the setup because I just
want to be clear, so without spoiling it for for our friend Dio here,
this is real, right, yes, okay, okay, you know
I didn't want to be the one to ask it because I was scratching my
head after listening to last week's episode, like I wasn't sure on the innuendos
that were being thrown around. So let's go do what Knuckles does best and
we'll see how things go. Yeah, got all your weapons loaded up with
with jail rounds? Do you guys put that in your for your goal?
Doesn't have any weapons? A pistol we gave you, remember ship from this
right gang we fought last week? Yeah, if you want to call it
a fight, yeah, yeah, you guys, Yeah, yeah, this
might go a little bit differently, but we'll see, We'll see how it
goes. It's I mean, it's all for fun. So uh you guys
uh roll through town boys. Guess I want to send a mess a private
message to uh to Ford and oh my god, Vault. I'm sorry.
I'm like I was gonna say magical. You could say magical, that's funnier.
I'm gonna send a private message to the two of them and be like,
all right, are we actually supposed to use the gel bullets. I'm
not gonna be like like, I guess this would be like a I guess
it'd be a voice because I'm on my bike, right, so i'd be
my voice. You guys can respond with text or whatever, be like,
so are we actually using these gail bullets? I didn't. I wasn't really
picking up what what your girlfriend was throwing down all me dense, but uh,
you know, okay, thense yes, my use the I see what
you did there. Volte will respond like he's typing an email. It's like,
hello, this is Vault. Yes, I'm going to be casting magic
still sincerely Fault, and then I'll it's like every text message, every text
message is like hello, it's your dad, and like it ends every single
one ends dot dot dot or like begins like dot dot dot, how are
you? I'm like, like, why are you making it? Ominous?
Dad? So my dad sends to me weirdly inappropriate emojis because he doesn't really
understand how it comes across. Like he sends me like like kissy face emoji's.
Occasionally I told him to cut that out, and then he's he'll send
me like winky face emojis. He's like, hey, how are you wink?
And I'm like, okay, You're like, what the are you doing
some weird weird mixed messages here? I want to come over and watch Netflix.
O Dad, Yeah, putting on the phone. Well, then I'm
gonna after I get the email from Vault, I will say, uh,
so are the grenades ago? Then? So? Uh, just a case,
night Runner. From your perspective, you're sitting in the car and you
know, you're you're like looking around and it's real quiet, and you got
your hands folded your lap and you're kind of looking around and these guys are
all like on their phones and each other. He's looking stoic as fuck.
But then he's just gonna turn like he's gonna look at them, just like
see them texting him like kind of are they doing? Yea, before a
point we'll put it down and he'll just be like, so, night Runner,
Uh, you are killed the man before. I've killed a lot of
men. They all tend to blur together after some time. Oh I like
this guy way more than the elf. Yeah, that's okay. I killed
one man yesterday. That was the first time. Do you still remember his
face? No, to be honest, that it was like I just kind
of ran then he died immediately. Ask you're a true killer? Okay,
So he dome the fuck out of that guy. With that. What did
you have It was a tire iron. That was a tire iron. I
had the one with the wrench. Good old faith class. Uh class,
yes, lots of classes to me. Uh yeah, and then he'll he'll
text you a picture of a four bus night. I was waiting for it.
Yeah, dude, so I was. I was listening to because I
listened to the episodes just as soon as they come out, and like,
like it was like the first time, the first episode where you started sending
people pictures of cars and like, dude, fucking killed me. Uh man.
So uh, you guys roll for about fifteen minutes, and you know,
you have some real awkward conversations with this terrifying person, and you arrive
at the entrance. By the way, it's night time, you know,
as as it should be. The entrance to the pick apart in july Be
Jungle in Boise, Idaho. Now this thing is huge. Uh it It
runs on both sides of the Boise River, and uh it also is encapsulates
a thing called Silver Lake, which is a you know, a lake.
It's all within this giant fucking junkyard. So you get to the entrance,
you park, you can't drive in. Unfortunately, there's uh you know,
what do you what do you call those things? Gates? Fences? No,
no, no, it's the big the big like barriers, concrete things
that prevent you from driving into like oh yeah yeah, those ballards. I
think those are ballards. I actually don't know what they're called. Well,
it's got those. It's got those things, you know, the ones,
uh so and and check it out. It's got those rad things that look
like uh like raptor claws that if you run over them in the wrong direction,
they shed your tires. It's got those two. So you guys get
out and you approach the jungle. Here we go. It's a small segment
that you can see the road there. Ignore that the road's not there.
Are you guys able to see everything? Okay, oh yeah there's some those
are buildings. Yeah, that's that's got interiors. Unfortunately, this doesn't support
any kind of cool things, so they're just black. But you know,
as you guys go, yeah, yeah, I know, I know.
I love the the proper and nice pnngs for every character and then they're just
fucking me bai in the middle of the fucking like junk yard. Well,
you're the star of the show. Bro, you have the background and everything.
Okay, we're just again. I don't know. I don't know if
you've had time to think about this, which I haven't told you to think
about it. So I'm guessing the answers and no here, But what's your
character's theme music? Man? Theme music? Mm? Every single song that
plays during a gtament like a trailer, every single one a once, all
at once, everything, everywhere, all at once. My thought was the
theme song from the old You guys remember the board game Crossfire? You remember
those commercials, Oh yeah, you get caught in the crossfire, You get
caught up Crossfire. That's uh, that's what's playing in my head anyhow.
So you arrive at the Jiloppe Jungle. It's nighttime. There's walls of cars,
walls of old hulks of cars and trucks and rust, and you know,
the ground is dirt with a bunch of like ruts in it from where
it's been driven through a million times, piles of tires and shale and broken
rocks and glass and uh not a couple of crack pipes scattered about. But
you get there, and you approach on foot. You can't drive in and
as you head in, you see I'm gonna reveal this first dude, the
token layer. There we go, so let me show you guys. Man,
there's so many folders within folders and then folders. Here he is,
show the players. Blamo right, nice biker gang, right, imagine a
biker gang. That's what you got. A bunch of dudes, human types,
sunglasses, leather jackets and on the back of the leather jackets there's a
thing that's lynch mob and uh, you know it's just you know, lynch
lynch mob, uh uh boise or whatever you know on it. And uh
so you see a couple of these dudes milling about, and you know there
there's some of them that are hanging around like you know, a fire barrel,
chatting and uh you know, there's people drinking. You can hear some
people hooting, a couple of people hollering. But these dudes are are out
in this field, field, this yard, doing their thing. So I'm
gonna start revealing a couple of these guys. You used to them pop up
on the map. Yeah, I wasna say. It's kind of like a
field, except instet of flowers. It's a bunch of fuck the cars.
It's true. It's a junk field. Yeah, well, how do you
want to handle this? Night re Is night Renner is gonna oh sorry,
no, he just gives a wink too bold because he's standing in the cycle.
Night Render's gonna pull out one of those cigarettes and start like, unbeknownst
to them, this thing is is like no NICOTINEO, nothing, It's just
for show. He just starts to like as he's like like sucking into it,
you just see the little light at the very end of it starts to
light up as like if he's actually smoking. But as he's like takes it
out of his mouth. No smoke, no vape, nothing. I guess
we just have to play hard ball, show them we have all the control
in this negotiation. Wait, we're negotiating. I was just gonna take the
drugs and go, oh, I like your player, I mean, try
to be sneaky and then you know, when it all goes to hell,
we you know, do our thing. Okay, uh, you're gonna cast
increase reflexes on himself immediately ship they're about to go down. Okay, hit
it. I'll just hit it with a four to six, you know,
start the game. Off with some damage. Burn it burn a damage?
Should I say start start the game off with some edging. You know,
I don't think I need to edge for this. I'm hoping that that'll be
later. I'm sure. Yeah that's sick. See what I I can't see
five successes. But you take two damage physical too, because it's above your
your magic rating, right, Yeah, yeah that was so that does booster
reflexes pretty well. But you take two points of damage. So you guys
get there and uh discuss how you're gonna do it, and he's like,
hold on, guys, and then he's just like in coughs and like some
blood comes out. Being an old man happens normally. Yeah, we'll be
good. Wipe the blood out of my nose. A uh vault. You
got any uh, you got anything? Maybe take one of these guys out
quietly. I mean I have anything that's super quiet. I could just tell
one of them to funk off influence and just go away. If you want,
I can choke him out. Yeah, I'm gonna say we could.
We could try it like we did at the first place. It didn't work
out very well, but you know, to be for that guy was like
a jiu Jitsu master or something like that. Was crazy. I was rolling
good successes. All right, well you got it. You wanna want to
sneak our way through and see how far we can get? Yeah, let's
do that, all right, Adam? What is this right here? Just
like a bus or something. It's like a bus, So what the fu?
Oh yeah, it's pretty la. What the hell? What the hell?
Yeah, don't worry about that. What's going on? It's roll twenty,
that's what's going on. I think there's something beyond that going on because
it's normally not that slow, but it is going real slow. So anyhow,
how yeah, so on your right as you enter, you've got like
a like a full sized city bus that's got a whole bunch of trash and
uh and stuff propped up against it. On your right hand side, you
see from where you are. You know what, how about you guys give
me a perception roll and I'll tell you what you see. Boo yourself or
all the dice. Come on. I was, okay, you're so god
damp for successes. Critical glitch. No, it is going hard. Roll
one dice man one success oh man, so wow, critical glitch. So
you enter, you look you see yeah, you see that bus. You
know you see these two There's two trucks that are all like mostly rust on
the left hand side. The right hand side is that bus with all the
tires piled up. You see a big old uh to to the right before
that bus, there's a big pile of tires is burning. It's a big
tire fire. And see someone passed the trucks on the left hand side,
uh kind of mill about whistling. He's taken a leak. You know,
he's got he's got a uh an oozy in one hand and he's like pissing
with the other. And you see him over there. You see a guy
through the bus, like through like the busting out windows of the bus.
On the other side of the bus, you see another guy walking around and
uh man volt. You see way past all of this stuff. You see
beyond another pile of cars. You see those guys around the fire barrel.
There's four of them over here, and you know they're they're talking. They're
yucking it up and laughing with four successes. You see one of them looks
a little nervous. The other three don't. Oh interesting, night runner.
You see the bus. You see the you know, the guy taking a
leak over there, Jack critical glitch out of the gate, your perception role.
You go in and it's like, all right, well, let's get
an idea and take a look around and see what we can do before we
head in. And you're like, what about that guy? And you make
too much noise pointing out the dude taking a leak. Now, you guys
are going to be the lot of you at a penalty for stealth. If
you guys are trying to get sneaky, we're going to give you guys all
minus two penalty on your next stealth roles. Ship. Oh yeah, I
thought this. I thought you guys were gonna be able to get through at
least a couple of these guys before it goes to ship. But I don't
think that's the case anymore. Uh N, Night putting his hand ups.
That's you boys. Let me handle you boys. Damn that voice is wrong
character. This is all that's what I think. It's like, trying to
fight man boys. Love it you boys. I'll take care of the work
here. And then he starts moving forward like and he's walking with a lot
of swagger, just just moving in this general direction. All right, I
am going to like sneak over behind the bus and trying to get the drop
on this guy because I think this is gonna go just like keep him alive
and I'll make my way around. I'm gonna try to sneak Okay, So
let me get a stealth roll from Knuckles and one from n Well, night
Runner, Are you sneaking? Oh? Absolutely fucking not. He is walking
with like bravado. He's doing like the swag like he has one hand in
his pocket, the other hand the other hand swinging back and forth. He's
just like, I'm gonna talk to these guys. I'm gonna talk to these
guys. Yeah yeah, wow, So this okay, So let me let's
break out this bad boy here. That's the initiative track. Oh man,
so you guys remember how you guys have fought people and it was real easy
and like you're like, oh, this isn't challenging. Make it harder?
Oh no, oh no, is I am prepared to die? News is
that at least at least man this is going to survive this. So I've
turned I've turned this into the dark souls of the shadow on campaign. It's
all we're acting anyway, so even if I die, it's no big deal.
But yeah, yeah, that's fair. So here we go. Uh,
let's get some of these dudes into the initiative of order. I got
my first dude here is gonna you know what, I gotta make perception roles.
Maybe maybe these guys at this point, well not quite yet, not
quite yet. And uh good news. These guys don't have any ranks in
it. No, that is oversight on my part and it's see your advantage.
So uh, first guy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
apply all the things. Nope to successes out of the gate. All right,
on to dice. What a cheat? Two dice to successes? Here
they go. All right, let's let's get these guys in. Yeah,
buddy, ever, what's that enemy cut up said? Everybody gets to roll
initiative? Is your internet having a stroke over there? Is it me?
It might be me? I don't know, I'm I I'm a lost you
for the same time that I think Chris did. So that's got to be
me then, But you're fighting normally it's you, Eric, Okay, I
know you're so good at this game. Why I knew it was gonna go
bad? The fastest of magic. Hobo's goal. The magic just comes out
instinctively at this point everywhere. So twenty eight initiative at the top, we
got volt. So from where you are, you see the same things that
I described earlier. Plus you got this this fucking idiot staggering, swaggering towards
this other guy that's taking a leak. You see Knuckles go around towards the
uh, the the other side of the bus, and he's going like,
all right, they gotta be sneaky, is what he's saying. As he's
going through like a cartoon character, knees high and uh you see the guy
guy through that bus? Fuck is it? And he turns, he starts
heading towards Knuckles and you cut out again. Oh no, this is gonna
be miserable. Oh boy, my life. You guys can't hear me?
Oh boy? Yeah, you speaking towards where he's moving towards Earth Rock,
right, yeah, and then it's it's vulture, okay, ol, it's
gonna move over here. And then can I see any of these three people?
Yeah? You so you move. You moved towards the guy that's taking
a leak, and you're able to, like I said earlier, because you
got that crazy high perception. You do see those There's four people, including
this guy here, standing around a fire barrel. Oh I I didn't even
realize that this was a person. I'm sorry, he's a little bit harder.
Okay, Okay, I'm going to cast magic at that guy and I'm
just gonna kind of fuck him with the stunball. Yeah, whoever that is,
they're getting hit with collateral damage. So we're just gonna boom pre edge.
You know, we're gonna feel good about that. We'll make it fource
five edge makes it don't matter. You just gotta hit like ten fucking buttons
to cast a spell. Ten successes. Whoa god, damn Jesus. Wow,
and you resisted all the drain. Cool. So you got three dudes
there, they're going to roll to try to resist that with It was I
believe, uh, logic and willpower or no willpower and something? What am
I doing? I think it was just willpower. If I remember from last
time, YEP direct combat spells successfully cast, it inflicts a number of box
of damage equal to your net hits on the post test. Uh. The
post test generally pitts your spell cast and plus magical limited by force against either
body for physical or WheelPower, just straight up wheel power power. They that's
it. Way to go, man, you did it. Congratulations, you've
graduated from Shadow Run. You did it. Now give your give your character
one rank in knowledge shadow Run rules. So all right, we got one
guy rolling this. Here you go and blame O one success. So that
guy takes nine stun hot damn, he's still up out out the other guy.
One more guy does the stun damage like, knock him out. His
track is full. Yeah, okay, that's pretty good. Yeah, pretty
fucking good. Okay, okay, so they're not out, but a lot
of these guys are getting wrecked. And then the other dude, who is
was this the stumb ball again that you threw? Yeah? So who is
the fourth guy? Because I see like three pink squares Hank carry his name
is Hank. Clearly he's he's he's a top down token. Yeah human,
Oh I see you, now, I see. I have my pain too.
But he won't matter because even though he has a name red X,
that's the guy that's knocked out, the one the one guy with no success
is the named guy. He's gone, he's done. Uh. But yeah,
the other. The other guys are still up hurt pretty damn bad.
So you dropping down? Yeah, I have to dedicate some some dice to
you counter spelling. I guess right. So is that a free action or
a swift action? I think it was a free act. There's there's this
thing as swift. There's simple complex or for simple right? Yeah, yeah,
yeah, I think it's a free action. All double check. But
if it is, then that's what I'm doing. Okay. So, uh,
it was rock knuckles moving around this bus. You saw that the guy
is starting to react, all right, and you said he was he holding
an oozy? Or was it nearby the guy that's taken a leak was holding
an oozy. This guy, you see, he's got like a As he's
coming around, he's drawn out like a like a revolver. Oh well,
it's only fair that I pull out a revolver and we have a gentlemanly dual.
Now I pulled up the shotgun. I rush him and shoo him the
chest. I mean a gentleman shotgun blast at the chest. Yeah, I'm
gonna jet to the corner, right, I'm gonna I'm gonna stay low,
do a quick like crouching, run to the corner, and then I'm gonna
pop up and uh put the barrel through a window and fucking take a shot
at this guy. All right, go for it. Yeah, we're gonna
give give this guy. He's got a no. I mean, you're through
the cover, so he's got no bonus. So go ahead. Okay,
one moment getting to the weapons. All right, kablamb and we're just using
regular rounds. Nothing special here. You're not using the jail rounds. Oh
oh, I forgot about those. Yeah, I guess he's already. They
were not very clear when Knuckles asked the questions. So yeah, three successes.
I'll let you be the judge of that. I can't tell you.
Boy. No, it looks like that's the damage value for regular shotgun.
Oh yeah, it's gone full. Uh Alec Baldwin soon said Brandon Lee.
Does that make it better? I don't know what get you? I mean,
I'm just no, Jesus Christ, you should be a shamed of yourself.
I'm not gonna. I don't know either. Lee was in the crow
died because of shooting accident. Oh ship, yeah, okay, I know,
Oh my god, who's Bruce Lee? I thought that wasn't good with
names to you. Oh, great news, Great news everybody. Uh,
this guy got three successes on his defense role, so you don't hit,
you don't kill him. I'm truck that again. You were breaking up three
successes on his defense role, so you do not hit. Okay, just
as a bit, because that was an actual shotgun blast, like, uh,
night Runner is actually gonna finch. Ah. All right, So now
out comes the guy you just shot at. So this dude goes, oh
shit, we got visitors and he yells and uh he uh. After you
shoot at him with a shotgun, he's gonna run back and take cover around
the other side of the bus. And now that he's taking cover, he's
gonna shoot at you. This is gonna be blind fire. So he's got
a negative X. He's got a hit. Okay, what do I do
that? Uh, make sure your token is selected and then click that defend
button. Defense dodge correct Defend is regular. Dodge will drop five off of
your initiative score, which will remove you from the next phase, but you
get to add your gymnastics to your defense role. Where's the other defense I
only see one defense button here. If you on the in the chat log,
there's a defense button. Oh I'm sorry. Okay, yeah, from
the cover, you do, yeah, since you're in the cover a year
and a half two two extra four okay, yeah, it goes wide,
you bang, you know, and it shoots. It goes wide and you
see it like punch straight through this bus. Huh. Yeah. Then the
guy that was taking a leak whirls around. Dick's still out pissing and he's
like what, He's got the gun in hand, and he sees night Runner
and he's in a fire. Oh, poor knight Runner. I think we're
five success. So, uh deal, make sure you've got your token selected
and then click that defend button, or if you want, you can hit
that dodge button, which will add your uh gymnastics to the dice pool.
So, given the visual of what's happening here, he sees somebody who's basically
uh fucking having his pants at his ankle, kind of just like waddling through
with a gun in his hands, and just fires at him. No,
no, no, no, dude, he's not like a giant like he's
He's still got pans, so he just he was fitting. I don't know
about you, but he usually keep my pants fully off every time goes and
he uses a journal in a public restroom, deal takes his pants off,
hangs him up on the side. So the only reason I ever had even
this image in my head is because I was like, I'm about to get
like ankle blasted because he has his pants and his ankle. It didn't work
out in my head. No, but see seeing this, seeing this guy
just come out of nowhere. Uh he instinctively instinctively because now he has a
gun pointed at him, He's just gonna dodge. Yeah, seven successes.
You so you're an all that fitness, all that being a mascot. You
just see him fucking cart we out of the way and then go awesome and
then look at the other guy and say like, is it the best you
got? So? Uh? The other guys, Uh, now that they're
aware and you know there's been gunfire, are gonna pop up and move to
the token layer. Okay, nothing to worry about. This is fine,
This is this is fun. This is fine. All right, So I
gotta make a a surprise role. Well for these fell let's see how they
are. Let's go. First off, is this you need three hits to
not be surprised. That guy is surprised. Hey, that's good news for
you guys. That guy's got big gun, real big gun, real bad
all right. Uh the other guy one, good news for yous. Two
three. So that's this guy down here is gonna be able to join the
initiative. Wow. He comes in at a sixteen to put him next to
and there we go, there we go. All right, there we go.
So that guy's done, then we're gonna go on to the next guy
with a sixteen. He is now ex highest way down here. So this
dude down here again. So uh. Off to the right from between two
walls of cars, another guy runs up and he's got a gun out and
this is a big old revolver and he's fucking aiming it. He runs out,
stops and shoots at again the only guy that's out front of his night
Runner. So here comes another shot at you. Well, you're breaking up
a lot at him. I'm sorry, guys, Uh, this is this
is not gonna be great for radio. Uh. The other guy runs out
from between two walls of cars and he pulls out a big old revolver and
he's firing it at night Runner. I got three hits. Okay, let's
see, so you have a negative one to your dice pool for every subsequent
attack that you take before your turn. Okay, and if I dodge,
you have the same place right, correct, Yeah, and that'll drop your
initiative down again. But you can take another five I've and still have another
past. Okay. If I defend, it's just gonna be regular. But
I have a minus one, right, It's correct. I feel like you'd
want to keep going with a cool factor and not really think too much about
the real world consequences, thinking that this is just a show. He's needed
to go for like a fancy dodge once again, like mind like just using
his gymnastics to his full effect. It is just a show. Definitely,
that's definitely what's happening. Three successes, he barely dodges it. Oh yes,
So he shoots you and you you're like the matrix and you're doing silly
like a pirouette and like, uh, I don't know what that jump is
that that ballerinas doing where you jump up and you like twinkle toe kind of
like jumpy splits twinklete action. I'm gonna call it. And uh, you
know, the bullet goes and like it's like right underneath between your legs goes
in the old five hole and you you hop over and land in the splits
and then like pop up without you know, having any kind of issue with
it and what his legs up and just stands up exactly and like dust like
kicking up off the ground. Totally cool, totally badass, totally manly.
I don't want to hear anybody say otherwise. And he just looks back and
it's like you are, I'll your a bunch of bucks and he spits on
the ground. Shock your turn and uh, Jacques seeing this guy compare a
wedding and dancing around but like realizing that there's like people closing in on him,
will move so that he's in front. Oh, and he's gonna pull
out his pistol and he's going to fire once at this guy. Uh to
this to the right of him behind the bus. So that's the guy that's
hiding behind the bus. Yeah. Yeah, So I come around the corner
with my pistol. Yeah, no cover, Yeah, and I just fire
almost point blank range with the gel rounds. Yeah, he is not aware
that we're Okay, I put the roll through, but is Wrael twenty nine
being good. It might it might be my network connection. I don't know
what's going on. My network is usually pretty solid. Do you need to
reset your router? No, I mean it's showing me I got full signal.
So I mean after after we go to break in a little bit here,
I'll I'll fus with it. Where the hell I reset mine? Because
sometimes it does weird things to me. It makes me feel dirty. I'm
just kidding, sorry, I just I'm gonna I'm gonna hijack. I'm gonna
hijack this whole thing for a moment here. I just went out to dinner
for I was mentioning earlier my wife's birthday and my sister in law she ordered
shrimp scampy, and uh, just like, I don't know what it is
about shrimp scampy. It sounds real dirty to me. I don't know.
How do you guys feel? This word scampy make you feel kind of sleazy?
I don't know. I used to be a dirt bay. I think
because I'm trying to roll the gel rounds specifically, I'm gonna just try firing
the weapon and see if it goes Nope. I don't know what to tell
you. It's not going all right, I'm gonna read for I shouldn't see
if it's gonna do something. Yeah, I mean I can just roll my
nine dice and see what happens. But all right, I have refreshed,
all right, trying again, give it another shot. Okay, Yeah,
I'm sorry, Adam, it's not going through. I'm gonna try doing it
from the equipment page and said me, M yeah, I'm not sure what's
going on. I'm just gonna roll ninety six. Let's see how many successes
I got and then we'll figure it out. Oh, it's because you your
your damage code doesn't have a plus in It should be is it U plus
one ep? Yeah? Yeah, for the gel rounds it should be plus
one, so it would be zero one damage, is it right? Yeah?
Plus one stun damage. That's it's there. Now try okay, wait,
I'll check from the Chelle rounds. Oh I got I got to go
off? Yeah, putting the plus in there fixed the the with it sin
tex aricam a dude. There we go. I got two successes two all
right. So after I refreshed, I lost all of my popouts. So
they bring this guy back so I can roll again with the lynch mob.
So all of these guys look like they've been copied and pasted because they have
been so uh but yeah, he's a generic bite kind of looks like you.
You look at him, you're like, if was a human, it
might be what he looks like. I don't know. So let's get him
going there we go defend. Wow, two successes nothing, you shoot at
him. I'll use my second simple action because it's a simple action to fire
a semi automatic weapon to fire into whom again for six successes. That's much
better. Damn. Oh boys, So he's got minus wonder for the subsequent
attack. Four Wow, but still two so you definitely hit him. Well
no, no, you got to no oh nine stunt Yeah two it's your
world to soak. He soaks too, So he takes seven stun so he
is still up. But uh, you blast him. You come around the
corner and you go with your handgun and the first round goes. Why,
the second round hits him and this uh, the gel round hits and like
it spreads out and like pancakes out and like slams into him. So he's
got like this giant glob of like green stuff on him from where the gel
round hit. But so I found out that there are rules for knockdown.
So let me see what those are, because there there's something like if you
deal a certain amount of damage and like uh body plus something combat rules culled
shot. No, where is it? Oh you know what you're recoil?
No, you got enough recoil comp because you've got enough strength for that to
not be a thing. Yeah, I'm talking. Oh, it's if the
I think it's if the damage exceeds the physical limit on the guy? Which
seven? Does you knock him down? Yeah? So that pan cakes out
and he hits the dirt. I'm gonna drop you down. So next up
is gonna be uh night runner with an eight currently. So I have a
very important question to ask you because I'm looking at all of his equipment.
It is this all live? This is what you got? Yes? Mhm?
Oh boy? Oh I was hoping you say that. Oh shit,
Oh fuck, I don't want to take this. Oh I have options.
How tall is this bus? Do you know how big a bus is?
No? This thing is it's I mean it's a bus. Sight it's a
size of a imagine like a you know, like a pace bus. Like,
okay, so it's not like I'm like on any breaks. He's not
on top of anything. It's just regular bus surrounded by a bunch of tires.
Imagine a pace bus, but the tires are flat, so it's a
little bit lower, just a little Do those tires create like an easy way
for anybody to climb on top of it? Not super easy, but yeah,
like you could you could like run up them or something like that.
Yeah, okay, And would I have to roll anything to try to get
up on top of the bus. Yeah, gymnastics is part of your movement.
And I'm sorry, skill tests I think always count as a simple action.
I think something We're just just to remember the action economy here because I
have I haven't played around in this a long time. Yeah, two simples
or a complex and then a free So let's say he wants to climb on
top of the bus, look down, say a fansy equip and then fired
down and then duck recovered. That's that's one too many. So you're gonna
ask cut out ducking for cover. I'll take it. Yes, So so
night Runner, seeing that this is all just going so swell, like like
he's seeing all this action, he's seeing all these great actors doing such a
good job. He's just gonna just add some flair to it. He's gonna
run up on top of the bus and just kind of like like break himself
with like the rubber on his boot and point pull out his gun from his
holster and point it down. That's it. Well, tonight's two nights die.
Let's come bag and he fires what's his weapon? He fires his Aris
Alpha. Here is an assault rifle. Serious serious success. Yeah. So
you run up and there's you know, a bunch of tires piled up against
the side of this thing, and you run up them and it's graceful.
You get him to the top, slide, say your thing at this guy
who's laying sprawled out on his back and you know he's got that giant pancake
of green ship stuck to him, and you say, you're cool line and
you go and you on you you light up and nothing just completely Oh wait,
okay, well ship I forgot about it. Edge. If you click
on where it says zero successes, it'll reroll. Oh yeah, he wants
to he wants to hit Okay, and then you have to check off one
of your edge boxes. So you've got you see those little red boxes next
to words his edge on your main tab, Click one, one down,
A bunch to go and that's one success. Weird. Yeah, he's not
trained in automatic weapons. Oh right, yeah, okay, that's that's rough.
Yeah, actors man want success. So you don't hit. So you
start shooting at him and he like you come up and you're like, tonight's
your night today, and he's like, oh ship, and he starts to
roll and you shoot it where he was and don't hit, unfortunately, and
we're wayne, did drop you what? But I did want to say he's
now startled by it because because I'm gonna say if it was if it was
like rubber rounds, they would fire from a gun differently versus if you were
to fire like live and no, I mean it comes out of the gun
the same. It's just when it hits. The gail rounds are like it's
it's like a big old claba stuff that less lethal, but it it hits
and it pancakes out and leaves like a big old glob of gel stuff.
Uh, but these hit you know, you hit the dirt. You don't
hit the guy and it just kind of goes pop up up and hits the
dirt. Actually, you know what it looks like. You didn't do a
burst fire, so it's just one round because you can do semi auto or
burst or whatever. So the one round does not It hits the dirt and
puffs up dirt where the guy was. Okay, you know, I gotta
make a make a logic roll just straight up logic. Just roll that and
we'll see if your guy I can understand what happened. Yeah, h mhm
say one with a real low number. Yeah, zero successes. He has
no fucking clue. He just knows that. Man, all of these fucking
effects are phenomenal. Whoever is fucking running everything for the guns is man.
He wants to give compliments to everybody who's working on this crew, compliments of
the chef. All right, So I think this might be a good break
point because I think we're probably at what's essentially halfway. So unfortunately, listeners,
man, I was late. We're missing a guy and this is gonna
be a shorty so sorry, deal with great time, all right, BRP
boys, BRB, all right, same and we're back. Welcome back.
This is not going well. So up next week you got eighteen, So
you still have this pass and then a bunch of people and then you have
another pass. So what do you got? Man? You just shot that
stun bolt, knocked out that one named NPC and injured those three unnamed lynch
mob fellas. What do we got? Yeah? So if I fast cast
not full cast, what's the difference? It boosts your drain on the spell?
Okay? And does it make it a like a fast action or simple
action? Yep? Is there a benefit to that? Or I could theoretically
cast twice in a turn, but I just suffer more drain possibly tracked hmm.
Okay, okay, if I you know, just run up right next
to Ford. Can I see the dude with the yellow jacket in the picture?
So if you are way back there, I'd have you make a perception
role for free, and if you if you get let's say two hits,
you'll you'll be able to see it. Okay, cool, I will,
don't you trying to lose my guy up right next to Fort? Yeah,
there we go, he's like right on top of him. Cool, So
perception and I think sure you turning off edge, don't want to pre plus
three drain if you fast cast two successes. Okay, so plus three drain.
That's rough, but okay, it's pretty edge. Yeah, that's I
mean, that's why I dumped a whole bunch of points into character creation,
into edge. We're gonna what does that What does that guy look like?
What he got on him? Okay, so that guy you rush out and
he's he's also looks like these bikers. Uh, this dude had shaved head,
yellow jacket, and he is packing what appears to be I don't know,
you're not like, uh a gun guy, like a like a gun
guy or an eligible guy. But he's got this gun that's like really fucking
big, really big, and it's got this like it looks like there's like
a belt of bullets coming out of the gun. They kind of hang down
and go into like a thing that feeds up into a backpack kind of yeah,
a little bit. Yeah, Yeah, you're like, wow, that's
a big gun. But he's not on the initiative track yet, is he.
Uh. Oh, he's also a bit taller and thicker and stronger looking
than the other guys he's got He's got a fucking cigar hanging out of he's
an elite enemy. I'm picking up on that. He's an elite enemy.
All right, T Team Portress Portress Classic. That's an old record. All
right, I'm going to quit. Cast another stun ball at these three jmokes.
All right, someone called a jimoke decades. Yeah, all right,
we're gonna use my fourth edge. It makes me think of coffee flavored ice
cream. What is supposed to stand for? I have no idea. It's
just kind of a million like, you know, like you're like an idiot.
You're it's like a like when you look at look at that bozo.
Yeah yeah, similar, but it's like, yeah, it's kind of like
a jabbroni, but but maybe more like a mook. Yeah. These are
all great, great insults. By the way, So that should have been
seven drain because it should it didn't. It didn't give me the chance to
add plus three. Okay, so seven coming in, but you soak snicks,
so you still take one. You cast it a force a force.
So it's one stunt, which is not bad. What we got. You
got six successes on the stun ball, and that's going into the crowd.
All right, let's get some of these wheel power rolls, and these are
coming in with minus three, so this is not a high dice rull.
They get to they can't they roll one die because they've got wombs. Oh
nice, forgot about that. So stunt stun wounds also reduce your ship.
Okay cool? Oh yeah, okay, so one of them reduces one and
the others don't. So that's enough that those those three fellas get hit with
another stun ball and they have any kind of visual anything. This is just
like the on the astral plane. It flares up and burst forth from them
and they all just fucking collapse. Nice, okay, cool? You know
what that means, Sean? That what is very nice? That's a sounding
makes when he kills people. Yeah, when someone dies, there's technically a
lot that they're only unconscious. And then for my second action three heavy thud
thud thud. Yeah, my second fast action is going to be influenced on
this guy, the big cheese. Uh and I'm just gonna tell him and
influence his mind. What year are you from? All right? Sorry?
What big cheese? The cheese? This kitten's got closed. When I'm gonna
use that next listen is like fifteen years old. Okay, he's allowed to
say these things the future. Yeah, all right, I'm going to influence
him and tell him to start shooting Lynch Bob bikers. Oh all right,
okay, so he's gonna get a bonus on that mm yeah yeah, okay,
when I don't when I do the fast one yeah, five successes okay,
and then plus one it should be another plus three, Jane, it's
not give me a chance, but that would be one more stunt. Okay.
So let's see here, So you are trying to mentally influence him.
Logic plus willpowers is resistance and let's see got reel quiet? Am I disconnected
here? No waiting with wrapped the ten, there's no there's no stuff.
My sessions are Adam. When I'm when I'm gmming, there'll be silence and
I have to try to fill it. I don't everyone, Okay, I'm
trying the best. In those sessions, I like to I like to just
never shut up. So I'm used to there being some kind of like background
static or something going on. But uh, I'm trying to find right now.
Uh you know, I'm just gonna keep talking because I feel like it
needs to happen, I'm scrolling through my book, and by scrolling, see
I just said scrolling through my book, I've got a book in my hands
and a flipping pages. What what? What year is this? Then?
I'm talking about scrolling bolt is getting to your head. Yeah yeah, yeah,
my regular time and putting me into some bizarre fu. What are you
looking for? I'm looking for the newsies, all right, So let's see,
I need to find out modifiers and ship for you. Trying to infl
wants a guy to do something that he knows he shouldn't be doing, but
he secretly wants to do it. You know, he always wants to shoot
his employees. Come on, he's not the boss. He's not the boss.
He's he's he's the he's the meat man, He's not he's the heavy.
Yeah, actually says that on the game. I don't hope if you
guys can see that or not? Right? Yes, yeah, dude,
he looks like Joe Coochan. Who is Joe Coochan? Okay, yeah,
I have no idea. I didn't think anybody would know that because you all
suck. But that's the guy who plays Kane from Command and Concker. Okay,
Actually, ye, that's what Guinness World Record for the actor to play
the longest uh play the same character for the longest amount of time in a
video game. There you go, pH that's oh man until ea, shit
all over? Commanding Conquer the fucking Heathens. Yeah, never forget, never
forget what they took from us, Sean, I'm gonna be as I never
played Command Conquer, so I'm not included. Oh my god, I play
Command and Conquer too, way back, way way back. So let's see.
Ah, let's see. So you're I make this thing every test?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is the thing. I just read the
victim of mental manipulation spell may roll to notice the magical effects. According to
usual rules for perceiving magic on page two eighty. Some of the less subtle
mental spells control action are pretty obvious, but more sell spells like control thoughts
are pretty insidious. So you know what's gonna roll it? Here we go
and even better, I just forgot what I read instantly logic and we will
logic hailed. I feel like you should remove the logic at that point,
just roll will. I feel like that's no, no, no willpower.
I don't know where the hell I am, he's got two, So you
got three hits on him? What are you doing to this poor He's gonna
start shooting the lynch mob bikers with whatever he's gun is, oh boy?
All right? So when his turn comes up, next initiative to make another
test to try to reduce those hits. So you've got three on him,
I'm gonna put a little number three in this blue bubble here resist or does
he essentially get two resists before he acts? He's gonna he's going to on
his turn try to reduce those. We'll say at the end. I'm not
sure what the rules are. We're making up as we go. Guys.
Here we go, knuckles, you're up this bus? Yeah? What's up
it? Can I tell if these guys are firing live round or the gel
rounds? Is there any way to tell you? You can make for free
one perception roll, and if you get a hit or more on that perception
roll, you can make a lot of and see if you understand what's going
on. Okay, for successes, I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna let
you make a knowledge. I'm sorry, a logic roll with a plus one
dice pool. Because of that four so it's gonna be about a dice pool.
It's looking great. Come on, bro, you're all pretty dice.
You got like a sixty percent chance. Nope, two dice with the Noah,
no glue, you got no idea, there's no way to talk.
I guess I'll pull out the revolver and fire fucking rubber bullets. Ever,
guys are not really very fun, but whatever. Also, check this out
here hear me out four on that perception role for free. You can hear
the distant sound of sirens. Oh yeah, now we're talking all right.
Is there a way for me to get into the bus? Like, is
there a door on the back over here on the side that I can get
in? Yeah, emergency bus like a school bus. We're gonna say it's
on there. Bam, okay, uh can I get so with? Can
I do this? Can I get in the bus and move to the front
so I'm in cover? Right? So I can't because there's a giant picture,
But in essence, I want to be at the front of the bus,
inside of it and then shoot at the guy who's right outside it.
Like okay, So so here, here's here's what's gonna have to happen.
You're gonna make a roll to get in, so you know what, I'm
gonna skip it. You can get in. You managed to pull the thing
open and get in, and you're gonna have to make a running test at
this point because you've already moved a decent distance. So and it's the same
initiative round and not not initiative pass but initiative turn. I'm not sure what
you call it, but you got to make a running test if you can
make it that far. So give me a running test, and you need
at least two hits to make it that far. Yeah, I've actually got
a point in that right, Oh look at you. All shadow runners should
have a point in running or successes. Beautiful. Yah, dude, you're
able to make it all the way to the front of the bus and out
through, so you're like by where the driver would be, and you know,
you cross that little yellow line and the windows are all busted out,
and you see the dude on the ground there and he's got that giant green
pancake on his chest. You see him. Well, so on your next
I want to try to give him another green pancake. Next tent, The
next tent next time. Next time you're out. That's it endo turno for
you. So we got who's at this This guy up here, So this
dude is up next. He's the one that ran and was shooting at night
Runner who did some flips and ship. So he's gonna see Ford at this
point and he's gonna take up a shot at Ford. He's gonna aim and
shoot. So he's gonna get a his recoil as cleanard and he gets plus
and to his dice pool for aiming three successes against Ford. So go ahead
and defend you. You don't have enough initiative to dodge, so you can
just defend five successes. Oh nice? Yeah, yeah, no, I
mean he shoots, it doesn't hit, Yeah, he does. Your reaction
is huge, huge, So yeah, he shoots at you. It's just
so next up, we've got the guy that's on the ground. He's going
to uh while he's prone, he's going to try to shoot up towards the
orc uh because he was shooting earlier. He is not in a good place,
he is not happy, not feeling good. He's got a bunch of
wound penalties. This is probably not gonna do too much. And you've got
cover in there. You've got decent cover in there. Give you know,
I'm making the fire, all right. He got zero successes. Look at
that. He's uh, he's rolling basically nothing uh yet one die and nothing,
no hits. So that's that. And the guy that was pissing,
the guy that was pissing, he's uh, he's still he is still pissing.
I'm still pissing. But he's gonna take a shot at Ford three.
So Ford, you're rolling, uh to defend with a minus one because this
is a second attack against you since your return. Yep, oh three,
okay, I'm gonna use edge on that. Can I do that? Yeah?
You can. You got to make that bad luck roll first. Yeah,
so's sash r space one D six and three, so you do not
have your bad luckxurder, So go ahead and reroll. Okay, so click
that button that says your successes. I'm trying. That's not going it might
be because this one is weird, but I'm just gonna roll five D six
because you can click defend again if you want, oh, okay, and
then again putting that uh minus one. Yeah, okay, so two successes
so still one hit. Yeah, like that's soak button. Yeah, because
I don't want to take nine physical damagright now? Yeah, no eight successes,
So I take one physical God, damn, you're so cool. Not
bad, dude. Yeah, so that that bullet hits, punches through the
armor and goes into you, but not too bad. He takes physical physical
Yeah, oh god, this guy's fucking dead around you. At this point
you realize that this this, this bullet from this gun punched straight through your
armor. These guys are firing armor piercing rants. All right, Yes,
I'm saying a p d S. I don't know what the d S stands
for, but I assume the armorer thing discarding set better forward. When you're
shot with a real bullet, Yeah, you hear him, and then he's
like, you fucking shot me with a real bullet. You're fucking dead.
When he says Tabernac, I shout Trafalgar? What is? What does any
of this mean? I don't know? Is a French Canadian? You explained
yours? What yours is? I know what yours is. Trafalgar is a
famous battle back in the old boat days A Street and the city of Oakville,
Ontario. Yeah, I figured I figured British in Canada. You might
get the reference. I don't know. I just felt right. Yeah,
Hord is intimately familiar with the battle Tripolgar. Yeah, as he should be.
All right, all right, so okay, whatever is happening is happening.
Uh so all right, Yeah, So I'm gonna charge that guy and
I'll make an I'm gonna make an unarmed attack because I'm just holding a pistol
and I don't have money my actual weapon drawn, so I will make an
unarmed attack. I don't have it pulled out, so I uh and that
would be a simple action and I can't do that. So he'll kick him
with the steel boots, but only for one success. God damn it,
he'safet God damn ten dice oof, Yeah you missed. So you like he
shot you and you come run it up, and like he he dodges to
the side as you charge forward to bunch him, and as he twirls to
the side, You dude, you get just blasted with pissed. It's like
it goes like all across like your shins almost up tearing me. Yeah,
and like he moves out of the way, and like my hand just dnse
the car that he was standing in front of. Oh yeah, dude,
you punch you punched in like the the hood crumples in and uh and you
get get blasted with people uh volts. Oh wait wait uh I think he
skipped me. Yeah, oh, your initiative ran out because you it's because
both haves like crazy reflexes right now. So yeah, magically, and what
were you saying? You cut out? You're oh cool, Just give me
a quick second. I'm trying to look up something. Wizards, am I
right? I know it's fucking lame bro a cool. Uh, let's see
that guy is fucking still probably super dangerous. So I'm just gonna shoot a
fucking lightning bolt at the Big Cheese. Oh my god. All right,
yeah, so it is a physical spell, so he'll get I don't know,
okay whatever, Yeah, do talk about the big Cheese works more like
an attack. Yeah, I think I'm still just gonna stunball him. And
if we need to kill him, fucking one of these guys can just shoot
him in the face when he's unconscious. So we're gonna stunball him. God
a little mass too. It's not great, but this life, he don't
ever change mhm. Four successes, so he gets to make him a defense.
No, this is the he needs. This is stunball, so he's
still making This guy has more will power than the other guys. That makes
sense by a little. But you get zero hits, so that is the
full amount. So that is is that nine stunt? No, just four,
I only got force. Doesn't add the force to it, I'm pretty
sure? Not so? Yuple check. I think I think that might be
how that does the thing? I don't know. I can be wrong.
I've been wrong before. No, just then that heads right? Okay,
yeah, okay, you got to it before I do. That's all right.
So four straight up, four points of stun damage on him. He's
still up, but he is hurting, sure, and then we're going to
clear the initiative order and we're gonna get new round of initiative for a lot
of guys. What do you mean he didn't die in one hit? This
is bullshit, bro, I only have one edge left. I make it
count. That's happened. It has are you? Are you about to unleash
my load? Ah? What is it? I fucking hate you so much?
Well you're laughing? Shut the fuck o. Wow, I'm catching up
Sean twenty four. Oh yeah, I closed the gap. I jumped a
couple of numbers this round on his initiative. I mean we can roll nine,
that's true. There's a reason they call him the beak. Actually it's
the lowest I can roll. Oh you roll the one? Yeah? Oh
no, alright, Ley, Oh my god, you have another thing here.
Oh cool, it's gonna do it, and it's going to do it
in a way that's cool. Oh cool, cool, adam. When you
get when you get a second and third passes an initiative, what are you
allowed to do? It sounds like by the rules you get less actions,
no same thing. It's just your or your mint which doesn't count. Again,
is like a per like initiative turn thing. So if you use up
your movement in your first initiative pass, it's it's spent. Oh I gotcha.
Okay, yeah. So it's not like you get you get to move
again and again and again and again, like you can only move a certain
amount in the amount of time, but your reactions are clearly able to like,
you know, pop off more rounds or say cooler things, or not
cooler things, but more cool things. If you if you still had movement
left, could you move in subsequently passg Yeah, so like if you could
move say ten meters in a turn, and you move three meters, then
you could move you know, another three on your next pass, and then
another four on the pass after if you wanted. Yeah, but if you
move all ten than any movement beyond your sprinting and kind of remind me of
gas lines. Uh yeah, kind of like gas lists. Yep, dude,
gas Lands. Everybody gas lanes. Look it up. If you haven't
played it, play it. It's fucking red. Uh, Chris, have
you played gas Lands? Is that the miniature card game? Yeah, it's
like the hot Wheels, like, uh, post apocalyptic vehicle combat. We
have this discussion. Yeah, we have this discussion. It's been more than
a week. It's been more than a week and you haven't played it yet.
Come on, fair, just bring it. I will try to try
it at a depth econ this year, I promise, or if Adam come
whatever, Yeah, I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try. But I got
this thing where I might not be able to say. I got responsibilities,
but like I hope, I hope, I hope will see also check this
out. I got, I got, I got a little bit crazy with
uh uh I bought. I bought a decent amount of these Shadow Run duels
fucking things, So I got. I got like, I got like six
of them. It's a lot. But dude, Shadow Run an action figure
miniature game. Check that shit out. All right? So all right,
let's go so up, first, we got volt again twenty four initiative.
Your cool. I'm gonna look at the guy like directly in front of me,
and I'm just gonna cast influence and tell him to fucking shoot a Lynch
Mob member. Make them shot. I really feel like the lightning bolt is
the way to go. But yeah, I understand, but it doesn't.
It doesn't. I don't think you truly understands. It doesn't do any actual,
like based damage unless I get hits. So it's not not a great
spell unless I'm what kind of fucking lighting bults? This is this? It's
magic. That's how the magic damage was basically flashlight. I don't disagree.
His magic is just a really high powered like flashlight, A guard better than
pockets. I take three stunt. That's not great. Who feels feels good?
Bro headache? Not Yeah, but success. There's just five successes with
like three wills. So we're okay, well this is this is the the
willpower and uh the other thing logic right, logic and willflower. Here we
go. I feel like a racist gang member. Can't be too high.
Yeah, easy one. He's you know, he might not be racist.
You don't know he's part of a racist gang. He might not be racist
himself. He might just that random guy from the KKK is not racist.
Yeah you said you sound like a Nazi at the fucking trials. Well,
I was just following orders. I don't actually hate other Well see this guy,
this guy, you know, maybe maybe this guy fell in with the
wrong crowd, joined a gang. He thought it was cool. And then
like is he wearing a sweater vest and just like in the group, Like
yeah, you figus, there was a whole episode. No one's hurt me
out. Hear me out, God, damn it, hear me out.
This guy, this one particular guy, this guy that you just convinced to
start shooting at these other guys. You could have just said it without casting
the spell, because this guy, right, he was there and he's like,
oh yeah, dude, all my all my friends that I went to
fucking high school with joined up with this gang and we were hanging out and
everything was cool, and they're like, you want to be in our club
and I said yeah, and it's like we're gonna make some money. We're
selling drugs. He's like, cool, I'm into that. And they're like,
hey, man, how do you feel about elves. He's like,
I don't know, man, I never really thought about it. And they're
like, we hate it. Oh. He's like, we also hate orcs
and trolls. He's like, oh, but I'm already I already got the
tattoo. Oh and you just are shooting at these guys and he's like,
yeah, I think you might be right. It makes sense. I like,
what I'm going to influence him to say is this is your m K
ultra activation code. All the members of your gang are actually illegal entrant terrorists
that you need to execute. Uh. And that didn't seem like it would
work very well, So I just told him to kill his friends. Well,
you got to kill your friends what you're probably right? Yeah, the
simpler prompt was the one that worked most effectively. Yeah, shoot racists.
So yeah, no, this guy, you know, I'm not trying to
say that not all people that wear swastikas are not I don't know where I'm
trying to hear me at this guy, No doubt they're not. They're not
big. What I'm trying to get at here, I'm trying to make this
make sense in a way. What I'm trying to say is not that not
all. There's too many negatives. I can't do it. This guy,
this guy special, Okay, anyhow he fell he fell in with the wrong
crowd and end up shooting him in the chest. Honestly, he's gonna he's
gonna he's gonna end up getting out of this and he's gonna replace whichever one
of you gets shot. So one of you, guys, it's gonna be
stuck being former racist gang member with a tattoo that he regrets. So here
we go. Uh. This guy, Uh, that's out that came out
from between he's been shooting the people. Uh. He moves forward, ducks
into cover around a pile of cars, and pops out and shoots at oh
man, the obvious target is the big guy. He's shooting with the big
guy guy with an assault rifle on a blass, just throwing out you're right.
You're right, you're right. Here we go one of his allies.
No, this is a different guy. This is a different guy. This
is a different This is not the special guy. This is this is a
regular, regular piece of ship. So, uh, normally what I do
in games is, uh, in this situation where I'm not sure who to
target, I always target the guy with the lower charisma because people like to
use charisma as a dump stand. Well that's okay, no thing. We
knew that during great character creation. Hi guys, hey man, I didn't
know that. And my Christmas actually six my highest stat my Christmas. So
whatever, here we go, and he's there. He's got no penalties there,
he's got that blamo for successes. Go ahead and click on a defend
or if you want, you can use dodge. It'll drop your initiative by
five. Okay, shooting the car that guy, yeah, yeah, that's
the guy I cast my spell on. I thought you did it on this
guy down here, No, because uh, two people are like shooting him
to death, so I thought he was was probably bad. This guy's mistake,
right, he's the one that's knocked down. Yeah he is. So
here's the deal. We're gonna everything I said about the special guy guy is
this dude that's on the ground. This guy's just a regular old race visa
ship. So this guy is just gonna start shooting at other people because he's
all like, I don't get before I'm gonna shoot people. I hate everyone.
Basically the reason that I'm in this gang is because I hate my parents.
And then he's gonna shoot at the guy. Uh that's pissing on Ford.
So the guy that's pissing up Ford is gonna make a defense role.
Uh, I've got to select him and then click defend. Here we go,
Uh, situational modifiers. He is in melee. Uh so he's got
a minus there and uh uh yeah two net hits. He's gonna try to
soak it and he is dead shoots him debt, God damn, just blam.
And you, like Ford, You're trying to like punch this guy and
you punch a hole in the car and like he pisses on your pants and
you look up at him, You're like, oh, you're a dead man,
and then his fucking face explodes all over you as a bullet punches through
the side of his head, and uh, you have this moment, this
very brief moment that you think to yourself, do I have magic powers too?
Can I? Can I kill people with thoughts? Uh? And then
you see as he drops the guy on the other side with the smoking gun.
So let's see here, what did you have on your your hits for
the mind fucking on him? And he had he had nothing right, he
had one success and one thing. I'm glad that somebody's keep track of what's
happening here. I got a lot of guys. So he's gonna make another
test, try to get rid of those other four. And that is this
button two, So he still has two on there. Yep. So he's
still and and that guy's got another initiativeast coming up, so he's still gonna
be going great, still gonna be shooting to people. So let me put
a little I'm gonna put a little uh sad face on the guys that are
being manipulated here because they're sad and knuckles, you're you got this guy prone
your feet. Make a perception role, everybody, as your prim comes up,
make a perception role. Perception boom e h volt you get I didn't
have you make one? Make one? Okay, excuse perception. MUMM should
automatically apply wounds. Right, Yeah, it does cool. I think I
think it asks you if you need to make uh yeah, so anyhow,
Uh, that's that's good. You hear a lot of movement and shouting coming
from the direction from which you had come. All right, uncle, you're
all right. Uh, since they are using live rounds, we are not
gonna use the handgun and we're gonna just keep using the shotgun and ace this
guy on the ground some necessarially on lean out the windows slightly pointing down with
the shotgun. Wrong choice, buddy, and pull the trigger. I just
got mixed up with the wrong crab. That's what they all say, classic
racist Nazi move is there. I'm not no, uh no, there's just
no penalties. I'm not sure what what the symbol would be like whatever the
anti like meta human version of a swasaka would be. He's got like the
tattoo like on his neck, but like you could see that it's like crossed
out with a sharpie. Oh no, that's crossed out with pellets for successes.
Oh no, this is a slug baby. Oh you rolled. You
didn't do the thing where I can click on it skill instead of like the
weapon. Oh my god, it's okay, bro, we all make mistakes.
What's the same number of dice? What does it matter? Because then
it shows me the information three successes, you know what, And I'm gonna
I'm gonna I'm gonna click my button. We're gonna click, dude, now
we're clicking and situational modifier. We're gonna give him an extra penalty for being
one success lower than it should be on your end. Oh, he's gonna
try to soak that slug wow seven physical this guy, this guy you he's
like I didn't know he's gone. You fucking blast him and it goes through
the chest and the guy's like fucking body blows up and like fucking like it's
so, here's the deal. It blows up and like the special effects are
wrong, so there's like sparks and stuff, but like he explodes way yes,
it's oh no, you know, I'm saying this till my turn.
I like I'm pretending, like in my head this is all happening fast and
live. This is this, this whole thing has been six seconds. Yeah,
all right, here's Adam after after I shoot him, Can I can
I get from the bus and take cover in like the rubble and Rex over
here by Ford. Yeah, so you do a cool Yeah, you do
a cool thing where you like you dive through like the the shattered remains of
the windshield of the bus and like hit the ground in a roll and get
back up to your feet like one fluid motion and run over there and like
kind of Gears of War like slide and slam your back into the car there
and uh, pop up and it's totally rad And yeah, you do that,
that's cool. Did you move? You did move? Oka, I
see you over there. So you're at this point from the entrance that you
guys came in from charges in. That's right. Oh, it is fucking
right. I don't think it's the future. They totally Oh maybe I can't
even see image. So well look i'm gonna I'm gonna outfit totally future.
I'm gonna pop these guys up. So it's the thing generated for whatever reason,
like uh, like a front and back. It's only one. Each
of these represents one person, not TV. But there you go. So
she can read me my rights any day for some reason, cut out portion
around her. Wait. Generated very great. It's Jesus. You can also
see that if you look at her from behind, it's the front is there
where it shouldn't be, and yeah, it's don't it's I don't worry about
what is it like, just do everything. Every single time she walks,
it's on an axis, so so it just her as is always exposed,
the skirts always spinning. Jesus, it's it's it rotates around. Okay.
Uh, it's like it's like one of those revolving doors. So anyway,
uh, elf woman, all black tactical gear. She's got like a like
an armored vest and a sick armored jacket with a high collar, and you
know, it's about knee length, and she's got like a great big fucking
handgun. Her hair is like pink in like a ponytail. It looks kind
of professional ponytail. And you can tell that the pink is not dyed.
It's natural because it's fucking shadow run, right, And she's got makeup and
stuff kind of like like street fighter. Maybe I don't know if it's not
street fighter too, I've got no idea. So yeah, that's that's two
more. And I know, and she's got like a like a badge,
real big. You can see it clear as day. It says t T
p F. She's NELF. She's a NELF cop ELF cop and she rushes
in and she's the lead of you guys can kind of make out. Uh
here, let me, I'm just gonna pop these guys in, even though
it's not their turns yet. But let's go layer token Blamo blamo bla blamo
blamo. There you go. How about that two for six six A squad
of six of these, uh, copied and pasted. Don't worry about that.
ELF cops all coming through and they're like moving in like a like a
tactical formation, and uh they're using hand signs and ship and you hear them
coming through and they're all like right, and uh they start charging forward and
they got guns out and uh, spotlights come on, helicopter flies over,
and they're coming in. You go first. One is gonna move up and
uh it takes position behind this truck by the entrance across from that bus vault.
You're out in the open, open and they shoot at you. Here
we go. You're you're good at not getting shot, right, Okay,
I have no idea honestly, all right, first shot more successful. We're
talking about to find out? Uh, so defend does not reduce my initiative?
Right corrective? Okay, I have just lucked my token. I guess
yeah, right, yeah, two ned hits andthing I soak? Oh she
hits nine seven stun oh seven stune. What's your physical limit on your dude?
Someone about to go to night night? Yeah? Probably? Uh what
is my physical limit? Check? The main physical limit is five? Ooh,
so I think that knocks you down? Page one ninety four, double
checking the rules rules about knocked down characters. Who's a little bit of that.
Characters who take damage may be knocked down by the attack if it's staggered
or it's staggering effect. I can read, I swear. If a character
takes a number of boxes of damage stun or physical after damage resistance test from
a single attack that exceeds your physical limit, then the attack automatically knocks him
down. This acts as a forced free drop prone action. Any character who
takes ten or more boxes of damage after a resistance test in a single attack
is always knocked down. Certain less than lethal weapons are specifically designed to knock
targets down. Jail rounds, for example, ooh, reduce the physical limit
of a character by two when compared to the damage value to determine knockdown.
Well, right side, it's a free yeah, it's free. No.
The issue is that that seven stunt would knock me out, I think because
I have six stun health left Yep, you're knocked up. Yeah. So
can I use my last edge to reroll my failed roles for the dodge or
defense? Uh? I mean it's late for that. You can reroll your
armor soak, but the failed soak? Okay, do I just hit soak
again? I think you hit that three button the three successes. I think
if you click it, I think it's not letting me. No. Oh,
I don't know. I roll seven D six yeh yeah yeah yeah,
and then well you you would subtract to be more than seven three yeah.
Oh yeah. I mean so you've got your armor dat fourteen. Yeah,
so roll another seven on top of the seventh that you just rolled. So
you got one two three extra, so you're at six ten. Uh no,
no, no, it's only if you pre edge. Oh okay,
well that's only if you're pre edge my head one two okay, So one,
two, three, four, five, six, seven eight. Uh
so you soak eight out of the ten, yeah, eleven, twelve,
so you take four? Okay, course done. She comes around and she
raises an aries Predator semi automatic pistol loaded with regular ass rounds, and plan
hits you with it. She's yelling something at you, but like you're you're
too kind of like what to realize it. And so we I initially got
three successes, right, you had three, and then you got three more,
and then you got two four, well five or five successes? Right?
Did they miss a five in there? Okay? So yeah that is
four, five, six plus three nine verses verse, So you take three
three? Okay, shoot, my looking great, boys, I am still
Yeah, you're not knocked down, knocked down and not knocked out. But
yeah. So then the next one moves up behind and uh uh seize the
dude up on the bus. Oh boy, you guys are not in great
shape. So she shoots a night Runner two successes. Night Runner hit that
defend three successes. Oh she misses, no problem. Next one after that,
she's gonna drop dew. Where'd you go? That should have been the
I've fucking scrolled down? That shouldn't have been her. That's Okay, Uh,
that doesn't matter. None of it doesn't matter. So that should have
been one of the gang guys, which was he's dead anyway, so I'll
just take him it out of the order. So it should have been night
Runner and then that cop. So night Runner your turn, and then that
cop will shooted you in this So as all has been happening, I'm okay.
One, he's never killed a single person in his life, if that
wasn't already apparent given his the mascot origin. But I wanted to see if
I could roll logic and see where it goes from here. His head,
he's tried to reason with the fact that two people just got killed in front
of him and now there's cops. Yeah, you totally saw someone's head explode.
There's like like, you're like, wow, these special effects are great,
Like holy shit, there's no way special effects are that good. I
saw the sadness in his eyes. Yeah, as it flew past you.
All right, So yeah, go ahead, make a logic role see spells.
Ooh you know what this should be? Composure? Yeah, logic succeeds.
You understand this is real. Now make a composure rule. You've got
an actual composure button. If you scroll down below your attributes. Oh,
here you go, three successes. Oh heay, you hold it together,
alright together, You're like, oh shit, this is real, this is
happening. But then he remembers he did it just gets super the fuck out,
So now we're kind of realizing the situation. He's like, oh shit,
this is real, and now assessing the situation. It's this one here
is shooting ahead his own guys. Right, yeah, you saw him just
blow away his buddy. Also, you're standing on top of a bus and
you just saw six of these uh TTPF guys come in. It's the uh
tier tearing gera police force or protection force, peace force something like that.
It's elf cops. That definitely not peace force. Yeah. Yeah, it's
unloaded right into me. And if it is, that just proves that they
are definitely future cops. Also, first, uh, do you guys know
anything about elf law? No? No, okay, I am a bit
a mere actor living off scraps. I know nothing of the self cps.
Damn where's mantis when you need them? Yeah? Thank god? Damn it
star right weird. It's almost like if you guys had an elf cop here
you might know about elf law. So how does how does movement work specifically
for this? Because I was thinking about running to this one and attacking him
a discriminately I'm controlling because he doesn't know you're controlling them. I don't think
he would have. I just don't feel he would understand what you're doing,
like he just sees the there's firing. People have actually died. Now,
so you can your guys pretty quick. You got a lot of decent agility,
and yeah, so you know what you could make it. Don't worry
about the measurement, mister. Measurements are not act. This is not to
scale. So yeah, I'll say you can get to that guy. You
you jump down off the bus and you you narrowly avoid landing on what's left
of the exploded guy, and run across to the this guy who's got his
gun out and he's got this wild look in his eyes, but you run
up to him. So now my other question is going to be this,
how does weapons which be working for the edition? So what do you are
you trying to which one the big one or the little? So he he
has a big the big one or the little one. The big one,
the big one you know, you got your your aria's alpha is on like
a tactical harness, so you kind of just let go of it and it
falls into place and you draw that one. We're gonna we're gonna let it
run. Yeah, you pull out the the thing and then roll the dice.
Roll the dice, and then we'll see what happens. Go ahead,
roll your attack with I have to declare edge. Yes, if you want
to, you can. You can do it ahead of time or afterwards.
If you do it afterwards, you reroll missus. If you do it ahead
of time, you add the edge to the dice school and six is explode.
I want to I want to give it ahead. Okay, So if
you scroll up to the top of your page, there's a thing that says
edge. If you click it, it will light up, and then you
have to say you're pre edging by the way, I'm pre edging. Oh
no, I'm working out for now. You gotta make it gross. It's
gross. It's important that it's gross. Pre edging so close m yeah,
god up. So let's see when I do where where? So how do
I activate this edge? Because I'm clearly just so, are you a scroll
up to the top of your character sheet and you'll see it'll say like shadow
run for the edition. Right below that, all the way to the right,
there will be a little red button that says edge Okay, yeah,
if you click it, it lights up, so it's it's like a toggle
on off. So once it's on, you make your tack roll and it'll
pre edge it and yeah there and doesn't one of the sword. All right,
he's got three successes. Pretty good defense. So you charge up to
the guy, you run and like here, okay, let's wind it back
and make it awesome because you use the edge. You jump off of the
bus, you do a sick flip in the air, and you come down
and you land on the remains of the exploded man, slide like a fucking
skateboard. As you let go of your ares alpha and draw your ares one
mono sword, you slide. You come to an abrupt stop again flipping off,
and you do one of those cool moves where you're like cart wheel in
the air over the dude's head. Land on the other side aries monosord two
hand down from the top and he's gonna try to soak ooh, you kill
the fuck out of him. On the collar bone and just goes right down.
You slice him. And then there's like this voltron moment where he's like
you stand still and he's like and then like it goes and he like slides
diagonally and then collapses, and then fireworks happen and the dude drops to the
ground like actual fireworks. No, no, actual works, it's exaggerated.
An it's in your mind. It's in your mind. And then after that
happens, then a cop shoots at you and missus. Now we're back at
in sequence. Now the next cop is gonna move forward, and uh and
uh you know she's uh she declares, by the way, is uh elf
capped? Lady? She declares like uh uh like this is raid, hands
on your heads and face on the ground and uh unarmed and uh but she
has it better because I'm not. I don't know. She's got the hell
on the ground, eat the dirt, eat the dirt, and she uh
points a gun at you and she's going to try to intimidate against Uh.
Vault is the closest one. Oh you don't say this after they shoot you
resisting stopt Why are you resisting? You gotta I mean you gotta you gotta
let them know you mean business. Yeah, what am I resisting with?
Let's see how you will? Well, I mean, you're definitely surprised.
So let's take a look here. Intimidation falls under charisma, and that is
in there here intimidation. Intimidation is about creating the impression that you are more
menacing than the other person in order to get them to do what you want.
Skill may be applied multiple ways, from negotiation to interrogation. Intimidation is
an opposed intimidate plus charisma lemited by social test against the target's charisma plus willpower,
modified by the appropriate entries in the social modifiers table. That's a good
table to have. And guess that's something that I like to bring to the
table in the back of the book. Probably let's see here situational modifiers,
noise, defense, cash, rewards. That's a great table social modifiers.
So character's desired result is we're not going to give you one of those,
okay, intimidation. Character is physically imposing, but not terribly Characters outnumber the
subject. Yeah, so she's got plus two you wielding weapon? Yep,
so plus four. Oh. Character is causing or has caused subject physical pain.
Yep, so it's plus six. Well I didn't take any you know,
I didn't take physical pain. I took a stunt. Okay, fine,
Okay, still not looking good. Okay, you try, but you,
but but you, you are obviously magic. So they get minus too,
So it's plus two. Is she getting plus dice? Where am I
getting minus dice? I don't know. She's she's got a total of plus
two. So I'm gonna I'm gonna just roll another two dice here and see
how that turns out. Jokes. I hit up and that really flooded that
textbox with a bunch of crap. Holy there's so much stuff in here.
I'm just gonna enter and send you guys cancel. Hey, look at that.
That works. Okay, so oh wow two more so five success,
Okay, don't worry about it. Yeah, so I just hit composure.
Yeah yeah, composure will be the same pool. Okay, it's not gonna
go Well, oh we were so close, so close. Do you got
any more edge you want to spend? No, man, Yeah, very
crandy. It's that wound penalty that gotcha. Yeah, actually cringe, Yeah
it was so you're uh, I guess cowed at this point, you know,
just tells you to get down to the ground. You feel like she's
business. You feel like idea. Yeah, he holds his hands up,
gets on the ground and helps the guy with the fucking big gun. That's
work. Oh yeah, he's still out there. So, uh, next
one is gonna move up. We're gonna we're gonna stop here pretty soon because
I know it's getting late. But the next one moves up and comes up
to vault and starts strapping up. You got zip tizes for the wrists.
Okay, there's not much and okay, so this guy that's been hiding out
here, y'all's like, oh fuck, it's the cops. It's the cops,
and he's gonna run this way. Drop him down to three and a
question. Do I get to resist that? Like every turn? No?
Resist like the mental intimidation, like every turn, am I just out?
No? No, No, it's it's it's uh, you can, I
mean, you can do whatever you want, man, it's you. You
feel you feel yeah, like you're I'm gonna say that this is gonna inflict
penalty on your dice pools. But you feel like it's a great idea to
not and not let them shoot me in the chests again. Well yeah,
yeah, it's seems like that might be, you know, for the best
to not get you out anymore. So this one comes up and moves fast.
So the one that's wrapping up, not wrapping up, but like uh
tying volt is doing that. The other one comes up and moves into the
lead, and it has the gun out and it's gonna shoot the big guy.
Oh that's the luck to her, the big Oh she's gonna get you,
but I don't think she's gonna hurt you. So let's see the cops
aren't using armor piercing rounds. Four hits all right, Yeah, they're a
little bit better shots, but the AMMO is not as significant. One net
hit. Go ahead and soak that. I'm sure you can soak nine.
Right, yeah, that's okay, crap on my soap, but that's all
good. I'm still standing, yep. So she blasts she runs up and
just blasts you with the with the averys predators. Uh, stunned though it
doesn't punch through, so that's nice. Next is the cop in the back.
She's gonna move into position too, and she's going to try to shoot
knuckle because they're trying to take you guys all down. So knuckles shot at
you for successes? All right, So what's the difference between defending and dodging,
Other than lowering your initiative, you have dodge. It'll add your gymnastics
dice pool, the whole dice pool, or just the rating of the gymnastics
skill. The gymnastics skill gets added to your defense pool. Oh that's that's
only one dice. That's not worth it. Okay, I'll just defend.
No, Yeah, do I get any bonus because I'm in the car taking
cover. Yeah, we'll give you two dice, all right. It's not
letting me defend, it's give me an error. God, do you have
your characters six successes? Oh? Yeah, So she does not hit you
in the car. He shoots and it it hits the car. So let's
see here this guy's dead and take him right out of the initiative order.
We move to Ford. Yeah, Forward is panicking like people are shooting out
him. There's six cops here. Volt's getting arrested. What the fuck are
you doing? He's gonna try and push the like Basically, he wants to
grab Volt and drag him away, like that's his plane. Like he's gonna
run up here, grab bolt and then run away. Okay, man,
whoa, you went so far, But I'm more just gesture in the direction
I'm going. So yeah you kind of because I'm only gonna get one initiative
pass, so like I'm not gonna just run here and stop holding bolt and
allow us them to like all fire. Yeah, no, I got you,
I got you. No, I got you. So what I'm gonna
have you do is make it's gonna be a complex situation. We get uh
something physical to try to get past these guys, either running or gymnastics.
You're called whatever's better. Yeah, I'll take running with thirteen dice. Yeah,
yeah, that sounds really good. Only five successes though, still lah
uh five successes is a good amount, and they don't have melee stuff.
So you get pasted and then give me one of them. Carry carry lift
carry lift ye yeah, all right, fourteen days forty two dice fourteen,
Well thirteen because I have a one penalty, so four successes on that.
Okay, So you are able to carry strength plus net hits times ten kilograms,
so your strength is seven, so that's eleven times and kilograms and what
what what the hell does that mean? One hundred kilograms like pounds? No,
it's like almost three hundred pounds. Yeah, it's basically double. Yeah
yeah, volt is nowhere near that weight. You accidentally throw him when you
try to pick him up. It's like when you go to try to pick
up a can of coke and you think it's full, but it's empty and
you almost throw it. It's like absolutely one. You scoop him up and
you and you keep running. Yeah, yeah, and yeah, I'll go
as far as I can. I don't know. Yeah, we'll put you
right about there on the other side of the bus. Okay, Well I
can't drag your token. No, that's right. Oh yeah, yeah,
okay, so that's what you pocket takes off. Yeah. So it's funny.
I can. I could lift him over my head, so I'm carrying
you. We should get one of those baby carriers for your chest and you
just have him on your chest Artilla. Oh dude, have you guys seen
now? A lot of people think it's the worst one of the series.
I think it's like top top three, top four. All right, we'll
say top four. Uh Alien Resurrection, Oh, get your coat, Get
your coat? It's better than Alien. That's better than Alien. No,
wrong, it's better than what was the what was the one that was really
really bad? Words all, Like, there's two like the same that was
that was Alien Resurrection. Yeah, like they're like, there's two robots that
look like the same guy. They're definitely not gonna switch places at any point,
dude, I will I don't think I've ever heard anyone say Resurrection was
good. Top top three, Top three. I say, no, there's
way more than four. There's like seven, yeah, but people only consider
like three of them except and those three, in my eyes are Alien,
Aliens and Resurrection. The last one is wrong listeners, I'm so sorry.
All right, I did not endorse this in any way, shape or form.
This will be the last session of tell you watch the movie. It's
fun, it's great. But anyhow, they got like a dude that it's
like he's like normally in a wheelchair and he gets strapped to the back of
this guy and it's totally yeah, he's got so good. It's so hey
man, we all have things we like that are not good. That's okay.
I mean, one of my favorite movies is Cook the Fist. I'm
not gonna lie. That's it's a way better movie than Alien Resurrection. It
sounds good, it's actually so funny, so like, good on you,
you guys, you guys, and the Resurrections is my first Aliens movie,
so I have a soft spot for it. My god, I'm so sorry.
Do you need therapy? Hey, it opened the door for me and
that I mean yeah, but not because of a resurrection for your therapy,
because I understand we can. Don't worry, don't start, don't worry.
My insurance covers it. I'm good movie. Any action sci fi movie where
there's basketball being played is worth it. I'm glad. I'm I'm glad.
I was upset with that. Okay, all right, cereal. Uh So
the big guy with the machine gun comes out and he kills you all because
of difference in opinion. It's he goes and it's a full auto wide burst.
I'm gonna I'm gonna say, uh, you can, uh, since
you're right in the way there, night Runner, if you want to drop
prone, you can. It'll it'll get rid of your initiative. You won't
get another pass, but the bullets will go over you. Absolutely. Yeah,
that's probably know. If anything what he's gonna do, just because he's
this flexible, he's just gonna like he's gonna do this split all the way
down. So he's, like you said, you know, kind of like
fucking a black widow, except both of his legs down and he's just crouched
it out and he has that well, he still has the blade in his
arm. Oh okay, I'm gonna go with a John Claude van dam instead.
Oh absolutely, except like just leaning forward. Okay, so we got
the full auto long burst complex action defense modifier minus nine dice uses ten in
here, and let's see ten rounds, recoil compensation and compare to the table.
Wait for it, wait for it. Recoil compensation, all right,
is not good. Okay, So he's gotta take minus five dice to the
shot, but they get minus nine to their defense. That's roll minus one
cheats. You have nine days. Yeah. I don't even I don't even
think. So, yeah, I just say, awesome, dropped proneers,
dive for cover. He's doing no, he's doing the suppressive fire. There
you go, no recoil and there we go. All right, all right,
I mean briefly, look in my book, because this is where it
gets nuts and I don't remember. It's been a while since I've had somebody
machine gunned. It's a guy likes I don't know. Honestly, I like
what I've been I've been lying to you guys about everything. So it makes
sense. He likes D and D likes Pathfinder. Now he likes the Alien
Resurrection. I see what you're doing. Let's not say. I'm not saying
things we can't say. I also, I've only played one session of Pathfinder.
I can't say anything about that, so I can't. I can't,
I can't. I'm actually a big fan of second Edition. Like second Edition
is a lot of fun. It could never really played. I don't even
know whatever it could be. Okay, So reaction plus edge test any dice,
they get his result of choosing to go full defense, to see what
the threshold equal to this hits scored by the suppressive fire action. All right,
So it's it's gonna get crazy here. Suppressive fire in here, this
guy with this thing. Not too many dice here, but only two.
Okay, so all of the cops and in the position that you guys are
in also knuckles, you're in there, but you're in cover, so you're
you're okay. If you try to get up and move from where you are,
you have to make a test to not get hit by this guy pumping
his machine gun into that area. All those cops are also in there.
So I'm gonna put that number that two hits into the red box on the
guy and then his shive drop zero. That's the end of the initiative pass.
That's gonna be the end of our session for tonight, except hear me
out. You guys get a phone call at this point, and even though
even though you guys are in the middle of the action, that it gets
through and uh, it picks up and you guys get this. It's a
call from Jimmy. Yeah, Jimmy. Jimmy's like, hey, so it's
gonna be Knuckles. It's gonna be Knuckles specifically. That picks up. So
you're in the car. You're duck down in the back of this. Uh
it's a convertible, right, it's a gray convertible and it's got cream colored
seats, and you know, the springs are all busted out and there's like
the stuffing coming out of it and like just like it's like a like a
constant like of this machine gun is just slamming into the side of the car
and the cops are scattering. Your phone goes off. You're like, hello,
you can pick it up, put it up to your ear, and
it's Jimmy. He's like like, hey, so I know. It's like,
uh, I don't know. Man, tis like eight months before Christmas.
Uh, And all through the sprawl people have been running in fear from
the gorillas that were in the mall. And you know, there's there's tongue
heads hung by the rats, nest with care in hopes that Saint Jovina soon
would be there. There's ghoul children. They were nestled, all snug in
their beds while visions of man flesh danced in their heads. And mister A
and his night sky, and I in my booth had just settled up our
debts for a long smuggling route when out in poil Up there arose such a
clatter, and I sprang from my booth to see what was the matter.
Away to the window, I flew like a flash. I tore open the
blinds. I threw down some cash, and the moon on the breast of
the new fallen ash gave luster of midday to the source of that crash.
When what to my wandering eyes did appear but a bunch of Suzukis and elves
with green hair with they eight leatherclad drivers, so lively and quick I knew
in a moment it must be those pricks, more rapid than eagles. These
gangers, they came. And then the server she saw them. She called
them by name, Hoy Dowed, Hoy schlets Hoy share it, Nick Smith
in sub hume, Nigel Smedman and Kenson to the back of the corpse,
to the cramped shitter stall. I hit away, hit away, and I
made my calm call as leaves that before a wild hurricane fly. They burst
through the door. I thought, I'm too pretty to die. Those elves
they kicked my ass in the corpse's bathroom. They took their sweet time.
They gave me swirly too, And then in a twinkling I heard the door
open, then footsteps a friend, That's what I was hoping. As I
drew up my head, I was turning around in the doorframe saw doctor Doom
came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur from his head to
his foot, and his clothes were untarnished by the ashes and soot. Then
they noticed him. After kicking my scroat like a bed, he just opened
his coat. His eyes, how they twinkled, new upgrades, how merry,
His cheeks were all chromed, his credstick silvery. This green little mouth
was drawn up like a bow. Paid them the fuck off? But how'd
you get that much dough? He spoke nor zett, a language we both
know, some old pay data from a job a few weeks ago. He
had a broad face and a little round belly that shook when he laughed,
like a bowl full of jelly. I asked what he'd had that he's rolling
in New Yen. He said magic reverse osmosis was true and with a wink
and a laugh. And that's not all he said. Soon gave me to
know I had a new thread. Spoke two more words from his four hundred
GT I heard from his car project immunity. What the fuck's that? I
said through my broken nose. More magic experiments, I guess who knows?
But for real, Jimmy, even for that job. Now, so those
ancients that showed up, I found out how he gave me a credstick.
Ere he drove out a sight Happy Christmas, Jimmy and try to have a
good night, and then he hangs up. You just let you guys know
some little background stuff. Also, this is a Christmas episode. I don't
know if you guys and the elves and you're trying to get the snow,
so it could be a white Christmas. But so I don't know if you
guys got from that whole thing. But the the fucking the server, the
server with the elf check with the green hair. Yeah, that's that's that's
the leak. That's the leak with the other elves with the green hair that
attacked nice. I felt like I had to put into rhyme so that you
guys would pick it up. That's gonna be a little Merry Christmas, you
guys, all you listeners. It's I know, by the time you listen
to this is gonna be way past Christmas, but for us, Christmas is
at this time tomorrow. So Merry Christmas, you guys. Thanks for playing
Shadow Run with me. It's been a blast. Deo, thanks for coming
out, and hopefully you can make it next week and we'll hopefully survive this
whole shituation. I'm gonna call it a shituation because that's where we're at.
Merry Christmas, you guys. Hell yeah, thanks as always, Adam Dio,
thank you for joining us, looking forward to next time, thank you
for having me and you know sure awesome and yeah listeners, as he said,
it will be after Christmas by the time you hear this, but it's
Christmas for us in real life and then New Year's next week. So thank
you all as always, and we will see you on the flip side the
same time, same place, Lady Nights.
