are you?
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm good, a little tired, about to get drunk
so I'll be better.
Speaker 3: But yeah, Scar here, Scar checking in.
Speaker 2: Playing Mantis, the forearmed wacko who just jumped through a
window and did a three point landing like a like
a boss about to die.
Speaker 4: And I do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my body's super enhanced with magic and I've got
four swords in a bow, keeping it real.
Speaker 3: What can I say? That is not about Warhammer or
my son.
Speaker 2: Hmmm, we talk about your channel that while yeah, channel
just came off hiatus. We're supposed to have a finale
for Alien Story Worlds button true fashion.
Speaker 3: My we talked for about two hours.
Speaker 1: Instead of progressing, someone canceled and fucked it up.
Speaker 2: But no, no, no, yeah, no, we just all talked
and there's a lot of in character strife.
Speaker 3: There's a bit of struggling.
Speaker 2: Oh man, it's getting it's getting hilarious with the person
playing Exfert trying to inject Dracotis into other players.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Yeah, I need to listen to that. That
sounds good.
Speaker 2: But but yeah, hopefully they just got to the elevator.
Speaker 3: They just found out there's a queen in there, so hopefully.
Oh man, I'm sorry, you might have cousins.
Speaker 2: I might be doing too many spoilers, but yeah, and
hopefully next.
Speaker 3: Time it'll be over. We'll all be dead or in
space or dead in space.
Speaker 1: That's true. In space.
Speaker 5: Hear you die?
Speaker 1: Wonderful? Well that is that is good to hear. Let's
hear from you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, hey, how's it going up tonight? I'm playing Jacques
Millard aka Ford, currently wounded standing beside Mantis, going ah,
I'm glad you did something this time. Uh sorry, I'm
just teasing, but uh yeah, no, what can I say?
I guess I can start talking about forty K. I
am debating on what army to purchase, and I think
I'm leaning towards ORCS, and Chris seems to be supporting
me in that. So I'm gonna be a bunch of orcs.
Speaker 1: Hey is is anybody who's listened to our channel knows
or you may not know? Orcs is best.
Speaker 5: I gotta, I gotta, I gotta lean towards the Space Commis.
Speaker 4: Guardsmansh are communist?
Speaker 5: Those are fascists?
Speaker 3: Yeah that's wait, are the the communists?
Speaker 6: I'm confused?
Speaker 1: How how yoh.
Speaker 6: Socialists?
Speaker 5: I have?
Speaker 2: I thought they were like space I thought they're basically
Star Trek but blue there's the Federation of Planets.
Speaker 5: I was led to believe that they were communists. I
could be rock in that case. Pick what I mean?
Speaker 6: It literally have a commissar.
Speaker 1: It's it's well, you know, it's like for the greater good,
you know, which is kind of like communism if you
put it the at bay. So I get I get that,
you know, but either way, uh, tower cool. And they're
getting new CRUP models. Finally, have you guys seen new
Cruit models. Yes? They like awesome. They it's such long overdue.
They better fucking games Workshop, you better not fuck this up.
You better make Cruit at least somewhat viable in combat again,
because if you add another shooting army to an army
that already does nothing but shoot, you are missing a
fucking point and that is terrible game design. All right.
It's not that I have a problem fighting TAU, all right,
Nobody fucking plays tow where I'm at, uh, because they're
boring as fuck. Like, it's way more interesting when your
army can do more than one thing. Okay, so don't
And if you're gonna make the crew shooting, make them
actually competent and not garbage. Because when you put an
a unit that used to be somewhat combat focused and
then for some reason decide to make it like the
rest of the army, it sucks because the rest of
the army is actually good at shooting, and the crew
are like we brought fucking bolt action rifles to a
sci fi game, Like, what the fuck are you thinking now?
Speaker 5: So fucking get it right, Please tell us how you
really feel?
Speaker 1: So dumb, it's so fucking stupid, Right, there's nothing better
than in third edition, watching any crew charge you into
space wrin terminators and just dump a million attacks on
them and you watch those terminators die, and that fucking
they just fucking curl up and die and they cry
like little bitches, right, But then, oh, now my crew
have Schneiper rifles. What what there're cannibals. They don't fucking
use guns. They smashed people with them and put spikes
on them.
Speaker 3: Come on, I was I was told only weeds play towel.
But you know, to each theron's see, I don't.
Speaker 1: There's there's nothing wrong with the anime vibe that taul
have with all the fucking mechs and stuff. They're cool, right, yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't know, man, Like I mean, I was making
a tow army. I never got to play it because
they changed the addition of rules. There was like fuck you,
I'm out, But uh, I had this the scheme right
they have. I forgot what everything is called because it's
been I don't know, like fifteen years or whatever. But
they had they had these like troop transport things that
were little hover tanks, and they had little drones that
would like detached from them, which is pretty pretty red.
But you would load them up with a bunch of
guys like the base level dudes with like their their
guns that were rad like their base level dudes had
rad guns, and you go up and you go like
fast with those things and you turn them sideways and
you dump the dudes out, and you dump the fucking
drones out and you make like a line of drones
and so the enemies can't charge you because there's a
line of drones in the way. And then you set
up on the other side and you just light them up.
Makes you basically invincible and you rain hell on everybody.
Speaker 6: Yes, that would not have been fun to play against.
Speaker 5: Absolutely would have been.
Speaker 4: For everybody.
Speaker 1: Those wondering what the Adam is talking about. He's referring
to devilfish transports, tow fire warriors and their pulst rifle guns.
Those are the things you can basically still do that
in a sense.
Speaker 5: Well, if I had money, I could, That's true.
Speaker 3: I'm surprised to how get the the anime.
Speaker 2: Uh you know jokes when eldr are literally space Samurai.
Speaker 6: Well it's I mean, it's all the Mecca.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, it's l do have Mex too, Yeah, but
they don't have Commander far Site. I'm sorry, Commander Ochava.
That awesome, is it? Oh?
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, far Site is like his nickname Shadows. Shadows
is the smaller one with the gun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the that's the female tow with the like
the dual melt, melted gun things, the fusion blasters. Yeah,
all right, we could talk about I can't.
Speaker 5: I can't afford to play Warhammer forty k. So let's
let's that's true. Stop stop telling me about it, because.
Speaker 1: Anyway or it'll be great. Yeah, even if you lose,
you'll have a good time. So you spent as much
on dice as you do on your army, so that
many dice, it's true. Anything else?
Speaker 4: Yes, you guys. If you haven't seen it and the
audience hasn't seen it, you should watch Carol at the
End of the World. I just think it's a great show.
I think Carol is the best and I just finished
watching it today.
Speaker 5: So I've never heard of that. Is it like a
Canadian thing?
Speaker 4: Oh it's on Netflix.
Speaker 5: Oh that's why.
Speaker 3: Canadian everything that everything he talks about it was gonna be.
Speaker 4: You know that most of Canadian television is just American television, right.
Speaker 1: We don't know that. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Have you ever heard of a little show called Reboot? Dude,
it's amazing.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've got the whole series on DV Canadian bro,
that's Canadian. If you watch the Goosebump show. That's Canadian.
We did that to you.
Speaker 6: Show.
Speaker 4: There was a Goosebump TeV show. It was made in Canada.
It was terrible.
Speaker 6: I think there was more than one Goosebump Goosebumps video game.
Speaker 2: Which how do we not just have a podcast us
just talking about random ship?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe maybe isn't that.
Speaker 5: What this is? Isn't that what this is? Isn't this
what we're doing?
Speaker 1: Yeah? All right, who else sweltz us here? Adam tell us?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Oh yeah, that's mean.
Speaker 1: Hi.
Speaker 5: I'm Adam.
Speaker 4: Hello.
Speaker 5: I'm your game master or your game buddy, depending on
how you feel. But uh, let's see, I'm gonna be
playing everybody other than these guys. And uh, this may
be the last episode because you guys are getting lit
the fuck up by these areas hardcore guys. But uh,
you know, I'm hoping not. I'm hoping this keeps going,
but uh, let's see what I've been up to man basically,
and buckle up, guys. This is this is gonna go long,
so feel free to skip ahead if you want. But
I'm gonna talk about the Robo Cop video game for
the next forty five minutes. So uh, anybody that's on
the Discord server here has seen my adventures through robo
Cop because I'm I'm I've turned the Discord server into
a photo blog of what's going on in RoboCop. This game,
by the way, RoboCop Rogue City, game of the year,
no game of the decade. It is fucking awesome, all right.
If you like RoboCop at all and you feel like
you want to be RoboCop, play this game, dude. You
get the whole experience you can. There's like a cop
who's taking a shower and your quest is to get
him a towel. Like, dude, you get like a birthday
or not birthday. I get well card. You have to
get signed by a bunch of different cops. You fucking
fix some servers in the basement. You you you flip
the breakers to turn the lights back on in the
locker room, dude, you get to give people tickets. You
can manage the people that are in line with complaints
and tell them to go away. You have the option
to punch dudes, like you pick a dude up by
his throat and it shows you. You have a prompt
that says like push right bumper to throw item and
it's like a guy, it's fucking awesome. It's awesome. There's
a mission where you're going through and you're competing against
a swat team to see who could kill more people.
It's awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah. It really has become a journey through uh Adam's
picture storytelling. And I love there's that one cop that
you keep showing us that's like your you're like sidekick
or whatever.
Speaker 5: Oh cecil, Yeah, yeah, he's my buddy. He needed help
hanging a picture because he was nervous he was gonna
do a crooked So I had to go and like
you have to. You have to. You have to go
and search through the database to find a picture of
the cop. Then you printed out. You gotta find where
it printed. Then this is this.
Speaker 1: Is going going to the Dragon's Roost channel and that's
all you'll see our screenshots.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's great. Every opportunity I get to play, Like
so I'm like, I'm like, okay, everybody, my daughter's napping.
I left work early so I could play Rob Coop.
Here's what's going on. It's uh I I haven't I
haven't dumped all them because I was like, I feel
bad because I'm spamming the channel. But like I've got
I've got reports from uh, several more adventures including So
there's a part where I run into this this guy,
my homeless friend. His name's Pickles, right, he's he's a
drug addict, but like, don't sweat it, and you know,
I'm talking about movies. So we go into the video
store and he's like, can you help me find this movie?
I forgot what it's called. It's something you know, it's
like an action movie and it's got some sort of
biblical reference in the title. I don't know. And then
you go through and you scan all the different movies
in this video store and then like you pick them
up and he's like, no, that's not the one, but
that one. He tells you about the movie, and then
you can have like a dialogue with this homeless drug
addict about the movie and uh, and then like a
gang's like that's the movie I'm trying to rent, and
then you have to like kill them all like, oh
my god, dude, it's so good. It's so good. Then
I use then I use the database in the video
store to track down crime, like it's it is game
of the decade. The graphics are okay, The graphics are
kind of shit, right. The voice acting is not great.
The controls are blah. You know, it moves slow, there's
not a lot going on. There's not a lot of
variety of the gameplay. It doesn't handle very It's basically
it's an awful game. But like it is fucking amazing.
Speaker 1: I mean, just based on the number of different weird
quests you can do. It doesn't seem like it like
it's repetitive.
Speaker 5: In the slightest, like, no, no, no, it's it's great.
Speaker 1: There's variety there. It seems yeah, man, it's it's keep
the pictures coming because I enjoy reading badly.
Speaker 5: You shouldn't have said that, because now you're fucked. That's like, dude, Okay,
So here's another thing that's been going on in my
past week. Right, my boss, my boss at work made
this terrible, terrible, terrible decision, terrible, the worst. He sent
me on my phone via text message a picture and
it says super Starship Troopers. It's like Starship Troopers and
super Troopers combined. And I was like, I sent them
a text back and it says, you have no idea
the Pandora's box that you've just opened by sending me this,
and he's like, he's like, are you what what do
you mean? And then I just I've been blasting him
with these fucking ridiculous like fucking sling Blade Runner and like,
uh fucking h uh yeah, dude, like Kid Rocky and
all that kind of bullshit, And I'm blasting this dude
like fucking uh uncle Buck Rogers and uh you know
they live in a van down.
Speaker 1: By the river.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, David Hasselsloth, Hey, you guys and dolls
Kindergarten Koppenheimer. It's NonStop puns, movie puns, all right? Uh
sorry everybody. I think most of you guys are probably
here to listen to some shadow run. Is that that right?
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah, but let's hear from Sean.
Speaker 5: Oh I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Sean. I you know what
I'm gonna mute?
Speaker 6: Okay, Uh yeah, I'm Sean. I'm playing the soon to
be corpse Bolt.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 6: His next couple actions will be writhing and uh probably
bleeding out. Uh. I spent the day hanging out with
Chris playing some fucking Warhammer forty K and it was
a lot closer this time.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, first of all, today would have been
total shit because Games Workshop fucked up the Old World release.
But as usual, I can depend on mister Reliable to
come through when I need it most. And uh yeah,
we've played one fucking close game thirty five thirty one final.
Speaker 6: Score, real close.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, it's it's amazing what a two plus armor,
say for your entire army can do to change the
game a little bit.
Speaker 6: It's amazing when you read your rules and you find
out you guys aren't having a three plus, you can
go from seventy forty nine to thirty five thirty one.
Speaker 1: It's true.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: And then you know, just not taking a bunch of
side cannons and then just uploading a whole bunch of
incinerators helped as well.
Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah, rolling lots of ones helps too.
Speaker 6: Yeah. That was a rough couple turns, bud.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we persevered by professional sports team, We kept
the goal in mind, and we somehow squeaked out of
victory as my last guy was murdered and butchered.
Speaker 6: Yeah, none of this guys survived, but they took all
the capture points with those ticky fucking objectives.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's the key. But yeah, really really close match,
really good games. So yeah, we'll go forward to the
next one. I gotta fight some Chaos space Marines next week.
Brian's bringing his uh, his list that he's gonna be
playing for a Deep Deacon, so we gotta try to
fight that. See see what that's like.
Speaker 6: So yeah, it'll be fun.
Speaker 1: All right. I am your host, the Great Unclean One.
I'll be playing a Thrack, the Orc bouncer biker. He
loves guns and explosions also known as knuckles. And UH
had kind of a shit week this week. A lot
of things just not going well. But uh, today was
fun playing against Sean hanging out. I get more painting
done on these Zomba side miniatures, eagerly awaiting Old World
so I can start building a list for Empire, looking
forward to that. And I'm gonna start painting some more
of that stuff. And we've got a game night next
week set up, so probably do some board games with
the gang, maybe some more Spartacusts or something and what else. Oh.
I finished watching the Cowboy Bebop live action series Fantastic.
I watched the first two of the three full mental
Alchemists live action films would not recommend, and I realized why.
It's that the full Mental Alchemist films basically try to
be a live action version of the anime. So you've
got a lot of the cringe worthy stuff that I
can't stand in anime, like characters with giant beads of
sweat in their hair, or like jumping up and down,
waving their arms and really obnoxious patterns, and like, imagine
watching a live human try to emulate some of those
actions and it does not work well. But if you're
into that, you'll probably like it. Also, they did get
the original voice actor who did d in the English
dub to do the English dub for the movie as well.
There might be other cast they got. I didn't recognize
anybody else, but yeah, so that was cool, And I
mean the special effects are all right, costumes are good,
but yeah, it was hard to get through. Hard to
get through. And I watched resid Evil Death Island last night,
the newest animated film, and they're on Alcatraz, which is
kind of cool. They've got a lot of the classics
Jill Claire, Chris, Rebecca Leon all in one place. But yeah,
the villain was kind of lame. It's better than some
of the movies, but definitely not the best one. So
take it or leave it. I guess it could be worse.
But uh yeah, I've been playing a lot of Doom
twenty sixteen reboot. Oh yeah, my Steam account since March
last year, so I finally fired that up. Fuck yeah,
Oh man, what a great game. That's how you fucking
do a reboot. People Just crank it to eleven, just
go to town. So yes, yeah, So with that in mind,
that's the mindset Knuckles is gonna have going into this fight.
Just man handle whatever he can get his claws on.
So yes, yeah, with that in mind, Adam, take it away.
Speaker 5: Fuck yes, Okay, So we left off with you guys
in a little bit of a as I've heard some
people overseas called a sticky wicket. I'm not sure what
it means, but I think that's what you're in. You
guys are kind of in a shit shit sitch. You
were hired to on the quick get into this house
and remove, or not remove, but protect, relocate. I'm sure
just extracts that's a good word for it. Extract. This family, right,
two children, one lady and you're supposed to protect them,
but along the way, you guys ran into some trouble.
You got some eagle security types showed up and those
guys were quickly dispatched, but almost immediately afterwards, flash grenades
in the windows and then dudes repelling in and aries. Hardcore.
These guys are hardcore. It seems they're trained badasses, full
body armor, not like an armored jacket, but like tactical
body armor, assault rifles, flash bang grenades. They are kicking
ass and taking names. Volt has been shot and beat
up and he's unconscious. The mother is unconscious. Knuckles dove
in through the garage window, blew up one guy and
he is kind of in a standoff with another guy.
Another one of these hardcore fellas. Uh the Ford mobile
or Ford Uh yeah, fordmobile, we'll call it, that drove
in through the front door and ran over a couch
and is in place with its pop up turren on
the roof. Meanwhile, little Kevin Murr is in his bedroom
playing Call of Duty. I think it was thirty eight,
and he's uh, he has no clue. He's got some
noise canceling headphones on. Oh did I mention the you
guys found out that the daughter was a banshee. That's cool.
She's unconscious outside with Ford and Mantis Knuckles the only
one in the house. The odds are stacked well against you.
It's at this point, Knuckles three against one, unless you
got the car, then it's three against two.
Speaker 1: Hey, Kevin's still in here. Maybe he's got a trick
up the sleeve once he gets involved.
Speaker 5: He So you don't know this about Kevin, but Kevin
is one hundred percent certain that he's got enough military
training that he could gun down anybody that going to
try to break into his house. He's never touched a
gun in his real life. He's never seen one in person,
but he feels confident about it because he plays a
lot of first person shooters.
Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't jump out the window like a
certain someone who bailed on me. So I'll stick with
the kid. Right now.
Speaker 3: At this point, every everybody's just shipping on Mantis.
Speaker 6: Hold on now, like getting out was the good call.
I just fucked up and I ran towards.
Speaker 1: The Oh no no I'm not. No, no no no, no, I'm not.
I'm not. You're still here. You're fighting the fight.
Speaker 2: You unplug one anti life support cord and.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden.
Speaker 6: That one's on you dog.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, it's like it's like the opposite of life support.
What he was doing, right, I don't know what you
call it support, death support.
Speaker 5: Patoma, encouraging device.
Speaker 1: Yeah, really define what it was, all right.
Speaker 5: It's an initiative going. I got my hardcore in here
with a seventeen. We got uthrack. You already rolled, you're
in it at thirteen four to ten. Gotta get mantis
on the board. And I looked up the rules. That's
why it took a week between the last time the
last round in this round is because I looked up
the rules on how dying works. A little bit of
research for you. You have an overflow. Once your mac,
your your physical damage track is filled up, you can
take a certain amount of additional boxes of damage before
you diet, and that damage value is equal to your
body rating. So fortunately for volt who is currently dying,
you got a good body. And I don't mean that
in like a yeah you know what, I do mean
it in a weird way. You've got a high body
score and uh you know so then yeah, oh yeah,
and it automatically goes down, you get well, I go
goes up. I don't know. You take one box of
overflow damage for every minute time's body that you do
not become stabilized. So you've got spoilers everybody like that.
I have five minutes between additional damage coming on you
and uh. That's if nobody else decides to shoot you
or punch you or anything. You're in a predicament.
Speaker 1: Here.
Speaker 5: You went unconscious next to the unconscious woman betwixt two
of these areas hardcore guys in a hallway off to
the side. Doesn't look good. You don't need to roll
initiative because you know you can't really do too much.
But we gotta get mantis. We gotta get you in there.
Roll that die.
Speaker 1: Adam's question, good question. When uh with with the mage
and UH and Sean when they're at zero, are they unconscious?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Okay, yeah, if either of your condition monitors are
filled up, you are taking a nap.
Speaker 3: Okay, right, that's wrong?
Speaker 5: That that?
Speaker 3: But did that have an edge.
Speaker 5: Of all they were telling me I was wrong.
Speaker 6: You might have you might and have the two nights
I gave you a few a little while ago.
Speaker 4: Yeah, increased reflexes on last time, So check and see
if you're rolling more than one six. It should be
your action plus intuition plus one.
Speaker 5: D six.
Speaker 3: Dope dope and five D six. I'm just getting right,
I too tired.
Speaker 4: There we go.
Speaker 5: That's a lot better nine still for twenty two to nine.
Well he rolled one die instead of five.
Speaker 4: That was special, man, because when volt past increased reflexes like.
Speaker 1: People, Oh that's right, that's right, yeah he rolls.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, any of these sustained spells drop when he drops.
So you've been visible for a little while, I think,
but your visible knuckles. So in the initiative order, the
ARIS hardcore guys come in at A seventeen. They're ahead
of everybody else. They act first. Ooh, this guy one
of them, I'm gonna have to actually put in there
separately because he's got damage on him. Let me get
him in there, roll him separate, LIKEF eighteen. But he's
got minus two because oh no, it shouldn't be minus
so it should be sixteen because he's got damage on
but he's still why isn't this working sixteen?
Speaker 4: There we go.
Speaker 5: He is still ahead of all of you guys, even
though he's been shot. Yaosa. So we pick up Aris
hardcore black body armor with some yellow accents, got the
Ares logo on it. They're all Totin Ares Alpha assault
rifles with the sweet under barrel mounted grenade launcher. They've
got a laser sight integrated that has when it projects
on you, the Ares branded logo above the dots, so
that you know who's shooting you. They move into position,
hustling up. One of them takes the corner around that
corner to the left, car drove in to the right,
wide open. Used to be a doorway, now it's a
car away, I suppose. I don't know if that's a
term or not, but that's what we're calling it. He
gets in a position across from him down this hall.
He doesn't have a good angle on you, but knuckles
is there. Knuckles, you're ready to pop around the corner
and take a shot into that bedroom where that other
guy you already shot is. But this dude draws a
beat on you and he's gonna take the shot. So
we're gonna give you a defensive bonus. We're gonna say
you get on your defense plus two. He's gonna a
blind fire. Fuck it, let's go. But he's gonna burst fire.
He's gonna burst blind fire. So what that means is
he's got a negative six but he's got enough recoil
comp that this burst is gonna go off. Okay, he's
gonna have to aim or do something else in between
shooting in order to cancel out his recoil because recoil
compounds as it goes, so the more bullets you fire
between without doing something in between, your recoil penalty increases.
So he's gonna fire that off and with a uh
burst fire, which is somewhere in this book.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm gonna.
Speaker 5: Find it burst fire defense Modifire minus two, so you're
gonna be rolling with a penalty of two. He's got
four successes on that blind fire burst fire.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I just do defense defense to defense.
Speaker 5: With a minus two penalty.
Speaker 1: But woops, three successes.
Speaker 5: One net hit. So he fires off three rounds and uh,
that's three one that hit, so you get hit damage
value nine a P minus five to firing armor penetrating discarding.
I think it's pronounced sabo rounds. Okay, so hit that
soak yep? I hope, no, man, it's already built in.
Hopefully you roll pretty good.
Speaker 1: Eight successes.
Speaker 5: Oh that is pretty damn good. You take one point
of stun damage. Uh, the three rounds pop hop hop
through the dry wall out the other side, and they
hit you in your sick leather jacket. Don't even hurt
that much. Oh stop fun track.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, all right.
Speaker 5: I think you probably still have no armor pal or
no wound penalty, so you're not doing too bad. The
other one's gonna go, and he says, uh, you guys
are able to hear this because I've decided that you
guys have cool technology that lets you interact and here
into other people's com chatter that are a local. And
he's like moving to secure third asset. And the other
guy ducks into the bedroom that Kevin's in and you
can hear like hands up, hands in the air. Damn it,
hands in the air, kid, hands in the Hello, he can't.
This guy, the one that's in the room opposite where
you are, knuckles. He's gonna lean out and try to
fire on you. He is gonna take cover as an
action and he's going to fire around.
Speaker 1: So he's just shooting the regular at this rate.
Speaker 5: Oh no, it's blowing up. It's like fucking that that
scene in the matrix where they're shooting and all the
pillars are falling apart and stuff. Super cool. So you
he's got minus two for wound penalties. You are going
to be rolling your defense against this with minus one
because you've been attacked previously. So he's got three successes
or successes, no net hits. He's you said, you and
missus because you're too cool. That's how that works. Those
are rules, by the way, if you're too cool, yok it,
shot plus one? All right, So your turn. What are
you doing?
Speaker 1: Nothing? Little fucking helping here, guys, I'm going to uh
can I move? Shoot and keep moving? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can move, so you've got uh. So we're
we're doing kind of a theater of the mind name
we're ballparking movement. But you'll in actual rules with someone
that's you know, responsible in tracks that kind of shit.
You have a movement rate that you can move during
the entire initiative round that doesn't count as like any
kind of like action against you. If you move beyond that,
then you start counting as running, and then you can
make a running test to to sprint to gain additional distance.
But yeah, you can move at any point while you're.
Speaker 1: You're gonna go very far. I'm just gonna run around
the corner, point blank this guy in the chest and
hopefully finish him off and then keep moving.
Speaker 6: So cool, so cool?
Speaker 5: Are you one hand in the shotgun?
Speaker 1: Uh? No, because I'm a professional, I've already jumped through
a window and aceta guy. I think the coolness factors
is plenty right now.
Speaker 5: We just need to just so you know, your guy's
slowly morphing and determinator too as this game goes on
in my mind.
Speaker 1: Okay, explosive round to the chest.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh, there's no bonuses or modifiers.
Speaker 5: Right, Uh No, no penalties or anything like that. This guy,
this guy, since you moved to a point where he
no longer has cover, he no longer has cover.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's what I want to hear. Oh wait, I'm sorry,
I meant to edge hold on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, edge yourself.
Speaker 1: We want to make sure we kill these guys.
Speaker 5: Well, do you want to post edge? Can post edge?
That'll let you reroll your missus?
Speaker 1: Is that better to do or is it better to
to pre edge? Uh?
Speaker 5: You know, it really depends. Uh. So you got three
successes out of how many dice we rolling your eight
out of twelve?
Speaker 6: And what's your right because the accuracy correct?
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it max you out a five. So maybe, uh, yeah,
we'll do you know what, I'm gonna be a benevolent
game buddy and let you reroll the whole thing with edge.
Speaker 1: Okay, then that's what is what we're going to do.
Speaker 5: Don't uh don't say I never gave you anything.
Speaker 1: Only three successes.
Speaker 6: Still, that's rough.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, So anyhow he's gonna go for that
defense roll here we go. Oh you know what, hold on,
I gotta I gotta reroll it because he's got a
minus two for his wound penalties no success three net
hits sixteen damage ap minus two. Is there an attempt
to soak six excess? That's a ten stun. You don't
kill him, but you knock his ass out.
Speaker 1: It's gonna say he's still not down after two shots.
Speaker 5: Come on, Oh he's down, he's not dead. So you
fire that. You fire that explosive round and it hits
him in the chest and you see it bounce off
of his armor and then it detonates and it flings
him back into the room. He blasts through the door,
takes the door off the Oh, that's you. I'm moving
the rubbers and it takes the door off the hinges,
lands on the door, slides a little distance into the room,
and he is not getting up. All right, you assume
he's not getting up. You don't have time. You're running,
you're still moving. You're on the fucking leg.
Speaker 6: Go for it.
Speaker 1: He went far. Okay, So as I do that, I will, uh,
you know, obviously cock the gun and I'm gonna continue
my move into here to take cover and here in
hopes that if that guy other guy follows me, he
won't necessarily know where I'm at.
Speaker 5: Okay, you move into the room that that guy just
flew into. It's a lot easier now that there's not
a door in the way. Are you ducking into that closet?
Speaker 1: Yes? And as I go through the door, on what
I say to my team, that's too you.
Speaker 5: You shoulder through this door into the closet and the
door is flimsy, it's it's a closet door. You take
it off the hinges and it just like slam, it
hits the wall falls off and you look around and
this closet is filled with like a ton of incredibly
expensive clothing. It's it's so luxurious. And this this walking
closet you feel like, is well, I mean, you know,
this walking closet is bigger than your entire apartment.
Speaker 1: Uh that that seems a little excessive, but okay.
Speaker 5: Sure, no, it's not excessive. It's just that your your
apartment's very small. Ford your dirty.
Speaker 4: So Ford is going to using his uh his remote
control link and he's in there like kind of crouched
and like against the wall beside mantis, and he's still
strangling this girl, but he's not like he's just kind
of holding her.
Speaker 1: Oh she's not out yet.
Speaker 4: I don't know, but I'm not about to let go
of the bag and find out. So he's still holding her,
but he's not actively like trying to hurt her right
now because he's got bigger things to worry about. He's
gonna make as a complex action a ram test to
see if his car can run.
Speaker 5: Over the guy that decided to go oh shit.
Speaker 4: And so I got the rules for that here.
Speaker 5: I'm so happy that you do.
Speaker 4: Yes, dude, thank you, you know.
Speaker 5: What, Thank you so much for doing that ahead of time,
Like that is so so polite.
Speaker 4: Thank your worries. So the value the base damage of
the values is termed by the random vehicle body and
speed is letting the ramdom damage table. So the damage
value I have basically he cannot block this, but he
can dodge or go into full defense.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's gonna try to dodge.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And so I am rolling this, and I got
to apply some negatives because I'm not actively driving the vehicle.
But it's a pilot groundcraft check.
Speaker 1: He can't he can't block the car. Unfortunate.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, what the hell?
Speaker 6: On six edge?
Speaker 4: I don't got edge because I only have one driving
the car, and then I used it immediately because I
rolled the potical glitche Ok. Yeah, so yeah, I got
one success on. So he can dodge or go full defense.
The only benefit to that is that moves him down
initiative if he wants to.
Speaker 5: Does it does so he I mean a dodge. A
dodge is minus five, so he'd still have another pass
unless he takes damage. If he takes uh, this guy's unharmed.
If he takes three boxes of damage, he gets knocked
out of the initiative for the next pass. So let's
see how he does so we're gonna do a defense role,
and I gotta add his gymnastics to it as a
bonus here, and that is a fatty bonus.
Speaker 1: Now are are all the cops also all the shadow
Runners six successes?
Speaker 5: Because his his gymnastics is a six.
Speaker 4: Uh, and you know what, like I'm inside the house,
it kind of makes sense. So the car kind of
comes forward and it like does that thing where it
like tries to tokyo drift around the corner and swing
the front into him, and he just jumps on top
of the hood. That's what I mentioned.
Speaker 5: Oh man, So here's what I'm thinking is as you
drift around, because you're your nose into the house, it
would probably be the ass of the car trying to
get him. So you also, this is a Ford America,
so this thing's this is a front wheel drive. So
you come around and the ass just busts around the
corner and you he you know, he jumps and he
like does like a cool like aerial cartwheel. We'll call
it that. Out of the way, as the car backs
around the corner at him, and you slam the front
end of the car into the wall and the wall
blows out and so knuckles. On the inside of that closet,
you get showered with gypplast bits as that futuristic drywall explodes,
showers you with it, and you just see the front
of the car. There's a machine gun on top and
you you're able to barely make out that cop doing
a red aerial flip from where you are.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was just a shitty roll on my part.
I'm sorry. Guys.
Speaker 5: Yeah, hey man, it happens. It happens. It happens. Mantis,
you're outside. You just hear the hell going on in there.
You're out here, I don't know how are you doing?
How's Mantis feeling.
Speaker 3: I'm hearing a lot of tires screeching inside a house.
It's making me nervous.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, uh definitely, uh definitely got a go around
the corner.
Speaker 5: Year, I'll definitely definitely going in.
Speaker 3: Can I see these these goons over here?
Speaker 5: Now that's one dude. You see him instantly as soon
as you step around the corner, he's right there, and
like you see him as he lands, and he lands
in cool superhero pose. He's got, you know, knuckled down,
and he's got the fucking the Ari's Alpha one hand
like up over his back ready and uh, you know,
as you come around the corner, you see him and
you see him turn his head slowly and lock eyes
with you.
Speaker 2: I I do a battle cry that only I can
do heroic poses, and I'm gonna shoot him.
Speaker 3: Uh does he does he look hurt at all?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 5: Man, he looks great.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna shoot him with the visor's helmet.
Speaker 5: He looks handsome. Okay, oh shit, oh ship.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna shoot him in his handsome face and an
explosive arrow.
Speaker 4: No, my god.
Speaker 5: So he's got that thing. So there's a thing that
drives me absolutely nuts. And TV shows and movies and
when there's like a sci fi thing and they got
like their space omet on and there's lights inside the
helmets so you can see the actor's face. He's got that.
Speaker 3: That infuriates me even more. All right, here comes. I
don't have edge left.
Speaker 5: I'm out of edge.
Speaker 3: Shoot man, I'd use all the edge last time.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we both we are you know, specific resources. I
do have an hands.
Speaker 4: Okay, you can say, blow your load. I think it's
an adult.
Speaker 5: It's already. It's there's no time to turn back.
Speaker 6: It's funnier if I try to avoid it.
Speaker 4: But it's even funnier. I don't.
Speaker 6: Yeah, great comedity, I love it. I do.
Speaker 3: Okay, I have an handsome accuracy, So that's going to negate.
Speaker 2: That's going to bring my accuracy back to the okay, cool,
all right, explosive coming at you.
Speaker 5: Three success, all right, here we go. Let's see how
he does. This is going to be a second attack
against him. So he's got a minus one. Oh do
I need to r.
Speaker 6: Like we did in the game.
Speaker 5: He's gonna do it with the one one. Here go for successes. No,
net hits the arrow. Oh. The arrow goes wide, sails
across over the top of the Ford America are and
strikes into a wall on the opposite side of the house,
right next to the fireplace. Detonates instantly, boom, Chunks of
fake brick fly away from the fireplace, and it ignites
the the gas tank because it's you know, it's not
like a real fireplace. They you know, you don't you
know do that it's like a like a pro paying
thing and it ignites or sorry, no, it's natural gas. No,
it's shattering, supernatural gas. It burst into flames, lights up.
Now we're on.
Speaker 2: Fight Okay, oh that that Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 5: It's escalated, all right, give me just a moment here.
Boom fire. Great, it's gonna keep growing.
Speaker 3: It's gonna get sceniary rounds to start a fire.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean it exploded and it lit up
the tank.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 5: Boom. Also you can hear.
Speaker 6: Well, we go back to the puvacation. They probably are
really easy and simple in this game.
Speaker 5: Yeah, don't worry about that. Yeah, I mean it's it's
it'll be a breeze. What's your what's your body times
lung capacity? So the fire is ignited. It's on. So
it goes back now to the top of the order
with Airy's hardcore. The guys that are uninjured. Uh, their
coms chatter comes back to life, and it says uh
uh uh tango spotted and you hear from the other
guy like hello kid, I'm gonna god damn it. And
so the one guy you can hear him. You know,
the coms are open, you know, it's not like a
press to talk thing. They haven't got time for that ship.
He's like, hey kid, hey, whoa sorry, Yeah I didn't
mean to scarey Wait, yeah I did mean to scare.
Speaker 1: You get a cloud and uh.
Speaker 5: Then the other guy pops up and he's got his gun.
He brings it to bear and he points it right
at you. Manuson, he's gonna open up. He goes rock
and roll, and he is gonna go full fucking auto.
As soon as I find out those rules Shatter Run
fifth edition Full Burst O.
Speaker 6: God damn, whe'd you go?
Speaker 5: Don't worry, It's not complicated. It's he takes some sort
of penalty. I think it's ten. I think it's ten,
and his recoil comp total based off of his equipment,
his strength compensation. Okay, so that should be steps. So
he takes a minus three and I think you take
a minus six to your defense.
Speaker 3: Yuick's right, Adam.
Speaker 1: What does the full auto actually like do mechanically?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: What's the benefit versus shooting once?
Speaker 5: So the benefit to going with a full auto or
a burst is that you fire more bullets, which adds
to your recoil penalty and and it takes away from
the defender's defense pool.
Speaker 1: Oh, so you're more likely to hit. Basically, at the
end of the day, you're more likely to hit.
Speaker 4: You can hit the dirt as an immediate reaction to that,
by the way, which will help me trims.
Speaker 3: Okay, so I wouldn't be able to tell if I
do that, I guess say.
Speaker 5: Well, you're out of initiative. You're at zero, so you
you can you can fall prone, and I think that
gives you like a bonus to your defense. It sounds
like Aaron is doing more than his due diligence. But
you can fall prone, and I think they will give
you a bonus your defense, but it will leave you
on the ground.
Speaker 4: I just really need you to get knocked out.
Speaker 1: So hear me out.
Speaker 2: I mean, I go prone, and I with two hands
do a push up and my other two hands I
shoot another arrow next.
Speaker 1: You fucking cool man.
Speaker 5: That is cool. Okay, So here's the deal. I've got
a penalty. Oh this guy, No, this guy's unharmed. So
I roll and I got two hits on this full
auto burst. So you need to defend against it. Penalty
of minus six All.
Speaker 3: Right, am I am? I doing a soak or a dodge.
Speaker 1: Defend You can't dodge because you don't have any initiatives.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, So what's what's the er? What's the thing
about the falling prone was it.
Speaker 4: I am trying to the rules. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: You already had.
Speaker 3: Stuff under defense it says either dodge ors or soak.
Speaker 1: Yeah on this chat log in the chat log in the.
Speaker 5: Chat yeah, okay, make sure you've got your token selected
and click on that defend button. But we're gonna find
out there's probably modifiers. There's a lot of modifiers. Yeah,
I don't know if you know that.
Speaker 1: Also, Aaron, you don't have to apologie for trying to
keep our team alive by learning the rules of the game.
All right. You take all the time you need to
look through that rule book. I know.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. It's just it went right from like combat
actions and what they do into pull the automatic weapon descriptions.
Speaker 1: And if anybody should be apologizing, it's Sean for not
having his character art on screen.
Speaker 6: But my thing rethat, Okay, so chill.
Speaker 1: Bro I know, I know. I just saw it happen
and it triggered me.
Speaker 6: I don't even get a two second delay allowance here,
all right, guys.
Speaker 1: Can't handle it, can't handle it.
Speaker 2: Okay, I've been away for this because I've got six wounds.
Speaker 1: He'll be fine, It'll be fine.
Speaker 2: You know, we're not built like rhinos like some of us,
they get to soak after racist.
Speaker 5: I think that's racist. I'm not sure, so let's see
full auto webs grabbing fire in full auto f A
mode can throw bullets for as long as the attacker
keeps the trigger pulled in the rounds. Last full auto
weapons can be fired is simple action firing six bullets
or a complex action firing ten. Full auto weapons can
take advantage of the multiple attacks free action to fire
at multiple targets with the same verse sea firing mode
table on page one eighty. Don't mind if I do.
Speaker 4: Sorry, this might not. Is he doing suppressive fire or
he's just using a full auto.
Speaker 5: Action full auto complex burst? Okay, so oo woof that
is minus nine.
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, hitting the dirt does not help you. That is
literally just for suppressive fire.
Speaker 3: Well there is my defense.
Speaker 5: Nope, nope, nope, nope. Should be minus nine. Rolled again
with minus nine, rolled again with minus nine, same results.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I believe in you said, and then I'm
soaking a yes.
Speaker 5: Minus six a p because it's you know, the armor piercers.
Speaker 6: Jesus, Oh my god, I think pantas just died.
Speaker 4: Well we'll see but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh my god, I almost spit my water over
my computers and thanks for that.
Speaker 2: I have eight overflows, so that puts me with one
close to my overflow.
Speaker 4: Oh you're still that's a killer forever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've had four help left, four help less. That
would put me seven in my eight overflow.
Speaker 1: Right, so where it.
Speaker 5: Says wounds add in those? Oh my god, Uh no, eleven,
you're dead.
Speaker 3: Okay, you're dead?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, negative three overflow? Really hold on, you had
four left and you had a told o g Z. Yeah,
he kills you.
Speaker 5: He fucking kills you. You're fucking dead. He fucking killed you.
He fucking killed mantas. This dude opened up full auto,
lit him up, shredded him.
Speaker 3: Does you shoot the girl too, she's right behind me?
Speaker 5: You okay? Do you have any edge left at all?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 3: Do you have survived the last one?
Speaker 6: That three point landing didn't give him any edge or anything?
Speaker 5: No, it's not that works. But I think I think
there's cool edge things you can do to like burn
your edge, to like get rid of like you're permanently
reducing your edge attribute. But it does cool things. I
think that's the thing in this edition. I I man,
I don't want you to die. Let's see you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, page fifty seven. Let's go to fifty seven Burning
edge not dead yet?
Speaker 5: Oh, that sounds like the thing.
Speaker 6: There are circumstances upolitive brain alive, grenade in the pants
that by all rights to result in the shadow runners
inevitable death. In these cases, a player may elect to
burn a point of edge in order to keep her
character alive against all lots. Note that this does not
mean she entirely boys the effects of the potentially fatal action.
But the bullet still hits their head and the grenade
that still goes off. Instead of dying, though, the character
managed to keep breathing somehow and maintain a thin thread
of a pulse, giving others a chance to stabilize her
and hopefully provide some quick healing.
Speaker 3: Let's do that, all.
Speaker 5: Right, So your edge is permanently reduced by one. There's edge.
It says you can also smack down says automatically succeed
in an action with four net hits. This has to
be an action the character is capable performing. You cannot,
for example, score success on a skill like automotive mechanic
if you don't have any ranks in that skill limits
have no effect on this. The character gets four net
hits regardless of applicable limit, so that permanently reduces your
edge by one. But also, if you only have one edge,
I'm looking at you, you can't do either of these things.
Speaker 1: Well, I had that sounds racist to me.
Speaker 5: That's racist.
Speaker 3: It's just means.
Speaker 5: You keep using that word, and I don't think it
means what you think it means. But uh yeah, so
you're you okay cool. Through the magic of game mechanics,
you are now less lucky but still alive. You get shot,
this dude lights you up, and it's like, have you
guys ever seen the movie Dead Heat? No, No, of
course not nineteen eighty two. It's got fucking uh Treat
Williams in it, and uh, what's his name? Not Joey Botafuco.
What's his name it? Maybe I don't know, but to
basically the idea zombie cop, zombie cop Dead Heat, And
there's a scene no spoilers towards the end where he
goes into this facility's zombie cop and he's like unloading
like a fucking submachine gun on this guy. That's in
an elevator and the guy in the elevator is also
a zombie and he's unloading on him, and they just
stand there like fucking vibrating, unloading their full magazine on
each other. It's like that. So you're getting just lit
up is and you're like yeah, and you cough up
blood and you like drop and hit the ground, and
one of these bullets hits you, like right above your
left eye. Boom, blows your head back and you fucking
go flying past forward and you land and you're bleeding,
and you for it's like, oh no, he's dead. But
then you go and you cough in your hand. Some
of them, I don't know, three hands reach up and tremble.
Still alive somehow no one understands. Doesn't make sense.
Speaker 7: Still alive.
Speaker 5: Next guy is the Oh no, he's dead. He let's
get him right out of here. You you fucked him up. Well,
he didn't kill him, but you know he's unconscious. Souh knuckles.
You've got three initiative left?
Speaker 1: Yep? Do I still have any movement left? At this point?
Speaker 5: I would say, yes, Okay, Do I see the guy
who I just put down?
Speaker 1: Do I see him? Where his gun? Landed when he fell.
Speaker 5: It's right, it actually is like right in front your feet.
Speaker 1: Is it considered a long arm yes?
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, it's considered automatics.
Speaker 1: Oh damn. Okay, can I get to the corner and
uh do a shot at this guy?
Speaker 5: What you can do? What you can do is you
can go out through the hole in the wall where
the car is and run across the top of the
car and take a shot at him. Well, why do
you say, so it's way cooler?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, obviously okay, and yeah, and then I
can so okay, I can get to like the side
of the car.
Speaker 5: Uh, on the top of the car. Oh ship you're
can you move out from under it?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Okay, hold on, let me hold on, sc let's see.
Uh there you go. Now you should be able to
go on top of the car.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to say and cover though.
Speaker 4: Well, then just lay across the head of the car.
Speaker 1: No oh yeah, okay, So so I'll dive out through
the wall onto the hood of the car. So I'm
laying flat facing the guy. So I guess my head
would actually be like.
Speaker 5: This like that, right, okay, gotcha?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that way, there's still like you know, the
hood in the windshield of the car, or kind of
like blocking.
Speaker 5: My you've got you've got very very little exposed. Uh
uh orc.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll take a shot with the shotgun as soon
as we hit the ground here or the hood, and
hopefully we're gonna edge this too.
Speaker 5: Roll that bad luck die. Let's go.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sorry I didn't roll last turn. Hold on
slash are.
Speaker 5: Oh, that's from last turn, So that's gonna carry over
to this one. Roll the roll the new one. Do
another one of those if you just hit up on
your on your numb pad and then enter, it'll reroll,
It'll re enter the same thing you just did. Okay,
So yeah, so we're gonna say that this one is
where you take the penalty. Your edge is subtracted from
the dice pool.
Speaker 1: That's right. But if it's I mean, if it was
from last round, and I wouldn't be firing my.
Speaker 5: Gun if I like, uh no, we're we're swapping the
dice rolls because you forgot to roll last time. So
the last time you got the three, this time you're
getting the one.
Speaker 1: Oh that's just cheating, But okay.
Speaker 5: It was cheating when you didn't roll it. The first time.
Speaker 1: Hey, you're the cheat. I'm gonna remind me of these things,
all right.
Speaker 5: I dude, I've been drinking. I don't know this game.
Nobody knows. No one knows, no one, absolutely no one knows.
Speaker 1: How to play success.
Speaker 5: Get the fuck out of here. You still got four successes,
holy ship. So this guy is getting shot with. I
believe these are the explosive rounds right, Yes, they are.
Speaker 1: Oof.
Speaker 5: He's got nothing that he get Oh no, he doesnt.
Speaker 1: He have negatives to because he's been attacked twice.
Speaker 5: He does, and he's got no uh, no option to
modify this because he's out of initiative minus two to
his roll to fuck Holy dude, you shoot, you shoot
at him, and like the shell, it's a shell, right,
the shell goes towards him and like it's going right
for him, and then he does like he jumps into
the air and he does like a twisting barrel roll
in the air and like it barely misses him and
then he like lands back down three point fucking landing
assault rifle up aimed at you. This time, he says,
second tango engaging clear turn order. Let's get everybody back
in the initiative two hardcore left both of them unharmed.
This guy is gonna have to really Oh my god,
I rolled twenty four for their initiative. The fire grows,
it's raging. Let me get a quick intuition plus logic
for everybody. It's listed in here as nothing, so you're
gonna have to manually enter those numbers.
Speaker 4: It's gonna roll inhibition and the logic. That's what I'm dude,
or actually no, I'm just gonna situational modifier add to
dice because that's on four successes for the Ford.
Speaker 1: Okay, uh, two successes.
Speaker 5: Okay, so that's that's enough. Both of you guys know
that if this fire gets to that kitchen there's gas
lines in there, it's gonna go off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little busy can't deal with that right now.
Speaker 5: That's on that fire voice. All right, So let's get
you guys in. So I got uh oh man, it's
it's wow. There's only three people in the initiative. Here
we go descending order Aria's hardcore. First, the one of them,
uh says subduing target number three, shut up kid, and
uh you know you hear a crack and a whine
and then the other, the one who is in the ship.
He's got his cel rifle. He's gonna bring it to Barry.
He's like firing full auto and it like sounds like
a fucking guy farting into a snare drum and he
opens up full auto. Uh he oh, he didn't do it. Oh,
this is gonna be a minus a lot. So he
ran out of that already, so we're at yeah, no successes.
He should have yeah, so, oh my god, you're right.
It's critical glitch. Oh no, how did he get okay?
So he's got a huge penalty because he's I should
have done something in between, but he's busy. Uh, he's
not thinking. He's you know, he's good, but he's not smart.
So he went full auto again. The recoil penalty fucking
knocked this into critical glitch town Wolf. So he goes
to light you up and uh instead the gun not
only does the gun jam, but it's it's pretty fucked.
It's you see the laser point or the aries branded
laser pointer come across and you can see it through
the reflection on your glasses, Like shit, he's got me
dead to rights and the bullets go one of them goes, God,
it shoots and you slowly like it's like your life
flashes before your eyes. You're a child. Your your father's there,
and your father's an orc and he's a big guy
and he's tough and he's a hard ass, and he's
like yelling at you for crying because you don't have
an ice cream cone. And then like you see like
the first girl that you ever kissed, and then like
you see the fucking the time that you stole your
first pack of smokes from a stuffer shack, and the
bullet creeps towards you and creeps towards you, and then
you see the time that you were a bouncer and
a dude puked on your shoes, and then you beat
him within an inch of his life, and the bullet
whizzes right past you just barely miss this, and you
see him as the barrel of his gun explodes, showering
a PDS rounds. All about is the clip of Jackson,
a ball of fire. He's still good. That gun's fucked,
and you think, thank God, I'm not using an Air's gun.
Those guys are dicks.
Speaker 1: It was a good life, now that I look back
at it.
Speaker 6: It wouldn't do anything different.
Speaker 5: Bro, I regret kissed the chick. My dad was an asshole,
ye said, dope.
Speaker 1: As the bullet was past me, I just grin lock
eyes with him, pull the trigger, and uh, I regret nothing.
And here we go. Do we we have one edge left? Kids?
Do we use it? Or do we save it for.
Speaker 6: David the last guy?
Speaker 4: Okay, this guy's lost one. He's been rolling walks on
every dodge.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's got to use his lug up at some point.
Well I think he just did, right, I mean, yeah,
that was pretty bad.
Speaker 1: We've still got initiative here, so I'm not gonna pre
I'm not gonna edge this one. I'm just gonna shoot
a just rigo shots. So all right, explosive round hell, yeah,
you know it only two.
Speaker 5: Okay, let's see how he does defend hot four successes. Again,
you fire another shell, and again he does the exact
same maneuver. He's like combat training aries, standard issue, and
like the fucking shell comes at him and he flips
in the air, barrel, roll lands three point landing again
exact same pose, three inches over to the right, and
he's like it wasn't perfect, but nothing is all right,
and you hear over the com He's like, what are
you talking about? He's like, I'm getting shot at out here.
He's like, oh sorry, I'm coming. Ford.
Speaker 1: Your turn.
Speaker 4: Okay. Ford is going to let go of the girl
and shove her towards.
Speaker 5: This guy, oh ship.
Speaker 4: At the same time, he's gonna charge past her and
kick him in the balls.
Speaker 5: Oh yes, all right, let's do this.
Speaker 4: Oh fuck. Three successes.
Speaker 1: Nice?
Speaker 5: Nice, he's rolling with the minus one because of the
previous attack gainst him. Five successes.
Speaker 1: You this game? What is this?
Speaker 5: Throw your foot right at his junk and and what
happens is as you kick, he goes who and he
jumps in the air and fucking barrel rolls and lands
exactly where he was three point landing. He's all like, nice, dry.
Speaker 1: My fucking John Wick.
Speaker 3: What the he?
Speaker 6: We should just fail, right, just leave me and payl.
Speaker 5: Never he lands again, three point turn and he's like,
say hello to my little friend, and he brings up
the fucking assault rifle and it goes. He's like, h shit,
and then he tries to hit you with it. Here
we go.
Speaker 4: Three successes, okay, and I will actually that's a melee.
I forget if Perry drops your initiative.
Speaker 5: It does yeah, minds five.
Speaker 4: Okay, well I don't have five lives, so never mind
three successes. He goes to hit me and I just
grab it, push it away.
Speaker 5: You see, for the first time and the entire time
you've known this man, he looks scared.
Speaker 4: It's been twelve seconds, like like, let's go for twelve seconds.
Speaker 5: Yes, and it's been man, what a twelve seconds? Says
it been? So the other guy rounds the corner and
he's he's like, uh, target engaged and you see him
drop his rifle and he's like, I can't, I can't.
I can't get a beat on him. And then you
hear the other guy. He goes take the shot. Take
the shot. This is what we signed up for, this
is what we trained for. It's like, I can't do it.
I can't do it. You're my best friend. He's like,
take the shot. He's gonna take the shot.
Speaker 4: Like a half taller than this guy, probably a beast.
Speaker 1: I just want to say, I've never had a GM
that does as much storytelling and combat as you have,
and I fucking love it. Wonderful. Here we go move.
Speaker 5: It really is two successes. Make your defense role with
a minus one because this is or no not minus one,
no minus one.
Speaker 1: Oh, he can just pick up the guy and he
swims the shield. Beau cover.
Speaker 5: You got it, you got the cover. Give me, give
me a defense role plus two soft cover. Well, this
guy's this guy like as you pick him up, like
he's he's supple.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, that's one net hit. Still ships a.
Speaker 5: Bad net hit. I take five physical five physical damage.
He takes the shot and the shot goes exactly where
it needed to go. It's over his buddies, Like, uh,
it's six inches over the guy's head, totally totally no
chance of hitting him. And it and it hits you
and like it grazes your face. So it hits you
like right next to your chin, and it rips across
and like you got like your bleating profusely from your
chin up to your ear. It takes off part of
your ear and it hits your your your horn, and
it fucking knocks off part of your horns. Armor piercing around,
blows through and it smells like burning hair and meat.
It smells like carne in the room.
Speaker 4: And as that happens, Ford drops.
Speaker 1: Oh oh.
Speaker 4: Oh, don't worry. I'll live forever. I got a crazy
body score. But but yeah, like I do, go into
a room exactly one.
Speaker 5: Knuckles, just you baby kissed me? Well, now I wanted
this to end.
Speaker 1: Came into this world alone, might have to go out
alone too, But that's all right. The gun on top
of the car, What is it? And can I use it?
Speaker 4: The answer is yes, you can use it. And it's
an It's an A K.
Speaker 6: Ninety Okay, I think I have that.
Speaker 4: It's an A K ninety seven. But the recoil bonus
on it because it's attached to the car is a
minus twelve.
Speaker 5: But you're using the gunnery skill.
Speaker 1: Oh really, even though I have the same skill as
that particular gun.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because it's because it's a mounted gun. It's it
uses gunnery.
Speaker 1: What if I rip it off the turret?
Speaker 5: If Ford survives, he'll be pierced. But you know what,
I'll let you. I'll let you make one of them
lift carry type roles and I'll say it's a threshold
of a let's go three and and we'll count it
as part of the action.
Speaker 6: What is a lift.
Speaker 4: Carry that's underneath your attribute, So it's it's an attribute
roll like where you find the surprise of the culture.
It's the barey bottom line. Scroll a little bit further.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I see body plus strength. I mean that's
pretty good, But is it Is it really better than
the shotgun that has the explosive rounds? Probably not?
Speaker 5: Well, So here's the deal. The with the with the
recoil compensation on there. You can use it as a
full auto burst and not take any kind of recoil penalty.
So you'll be rolling a smaller pool, but it's not
going to get smaller from doing the full auto burst,
and it will decimate that dude's defense pool. That might
be how much would make the shot then you're if
you don't, if you're not training gunnery, it'll be your
agility minus one. Now, how much carbon do you have openly?
Do you have unspent karma? You have three unspent karma? Yes,
I think it'll cost you?
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 5: Is it two to get one rank and gunnery?
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not gonna level up mid combat. That's
that's that's lame.
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna do that. That's not lame. That's fucking awesome.
Speaker 1: Oh that's meta gamy. I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 5: That is meta gamy, and I encourage it.
Speaker 1: Well, no, I don't live that life. Fuck it. We're
shooting the shotgun. Sorry, fine, and I think now is
the time to use the.
Speaker 6: Blow your load my bread all over that.
Speaker 1: Here's hardcore, all right, the bad luck roll is good
and we're gonna shoot the guy that just is in
the middle in the open, since he's already been attacked twice.
Hopefully we can get something going here and hope I
got to reduce an animal here. Oops. All right, damn
blam only three.
Speaker 6: B Now today is not your day for rolling dice.
Speaker 1: No, it really hasn't.
Speaker 5: Four successes. This guy he does, check this out. He
jumps into the air barrel, roll lands three point stance
assault rifle up, pointed you, and he's like Ari's standards,
wad you sorry? Said that He's got one more pass?
Oh man, this is bad news. Bears.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: He brings his assault rifle up. No, he knows. He
casts it aside and he draws his sidearm Ari's Predator
unmistakable silhouette. You've seen it before. You've seen the commercials
they play every time you go anywhere. Targeted adds, you know,
and he flicks on the laser pointer and it's you
see it line up on you, and it says, Aris says,
have a nice day, pulls the trigger. Let's have a shot.
Let's go and break. I gotta my dog's at.
Speaker 1: God perfect, we just started amazing. Oh, this is so exciting.
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 6: Is it gonna be our first party white?
Speaker 4: Oh? Man, our first and it's gonna be the last
party white.
Speaker 6: Well, the first first of the stream.
Speaker 4: I guess, oh if.
Speaker 1: I can't fucking roll, man, jesus.
Speaker 4: It's no. It's that guy. I imagine he's rolling like
seven dice even with the minus three right, like he's
he has not rolled less than four, and statistically he's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I I also used edge both times and
got three successes.
Speaker 6: Yeah, by John Wick, you got no sixes with that roll,
so like it didn't really help you.
Speaker 1: I got a giant can't. We're ready to push out
a run again. Let's do it.
Speaker 5: Playing okay, well most of us, well, I guess yeah, yes,
some of.
Speaker 6: Us were playing. But now it's you know, yeah.
Speaker 5: Stands here we go. Yeah, it's turning into that thing
that I tried to avoid by saying nobody play a decker.
Speaker 1: All right, well it's at least it's killing that guy
who's unconscious.
Speaker 5: Fuck him, Oh yeah, he's he's toast dude. Like the fire,
the fire expands, it grows, it consumes. Fire is like
a living thing. It breathes, eats, it wants, and it
spreads and it envelops, and it goes up in this couch,
this white polyester couch lights up, and it burns quicker
than you thought it would, and it bellows out black smoke.
It's filling the room top to bottom. Heat rises, so
they say, but everything's hot. It spreads out, burns through
the wall. It erupts, coming out of electrical outlets into
the next adjoining room, burning first, igniting the night stands,
burning up. The lamps on the night stands in their
lamp shades flutter away. His smoke envelops, and the bedspread
lights up, and it expands and catches the carpeting, and
it burns. As it sizzles, it smells like burning hair,
and it lights up, and the fire rage is forth
and it burns and it catches that guy who wasn't dead.
He was just unconscious, But now he's fucking dead. He's burning.
He's boiling, no broiling inside of his body armor. His
sweat pouring out of the body ignites. Oh doesn't ignite.
It evaporates, and it burns him from the steam of
his own sweat.
Speaker 1: Also, listeners were back, Oh we're back.
Speaker 5: Everything's on fire, everyone's dying. I've had a bunch of
peers and let my dogs out. The big one took
a big shit. Smell terrible.
Speaker 3: Are you smelling it?
Speaker 4: You don't do that.
Speaker 5: Air's hardcore. You've got one guy. He comes out and
he is ready. He's the one that he shook a shot, right.
I think he shot at you. He shot at you.
Your life again flashes before your eyes. Is this bullet?
You know he's got the laser pointed on Your life
flashes and you and it's your dad and you're coming
back from your hockey game. You're eight years old. And
he says, you know, if you keep playing like shit,
you're never gonna make it to varsity. And you cry,
and then he takes your ice cream cone that you've gotten.
He fucking throws it out the window of the car.
He says, ice creams for winners. Cuts back to you.
Speaker 4: You get caught you get.
Speaker 5: He caught stealing a pack of smokes from the stuff
for shack. You're thirteen years old. The clerk, his name
happens to be Gustavo, says, hey, kid, you can't steal
these smokes, and you say fuck you, and you punch
them in the guts. He heels over and you walk
away laughing, and you know, Mike makes right. We cut
further forward. You're a bouncer. The guy puked in your
new shoes. You punch him in the guts and he's
down for the count and you look around and no
one's watching. You hit him again and again, and it
feels good. You think, yeah, I'm the big man.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 5: The bullet will that's the wrong dice pool, pardon me.
The bullet comes at you. He's loaded up with the
sticking shocks. Five hits. You've got cover from where you are?
You got cover from where oh you know you know, no,
you got cover, So you're gonna get We're gonna give
you a plus three dice Pool on this because you've
got the cover of the car. There's not much to
shoot at.
Speaker 4: All.
Speaker 1: Right, here goes nothing, there we go five successes. Oh
fuck you?
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm sorry, dude.
Speaker 1: All of you. I'm not. I'm a winner, dad.
Speaker 5: No fucking way. Okay. The sticking shockground whizzes past you
and it hits and the light from it, the blue light,
arcs out, and it reminds you of the time you
were playing cosmic hockey as a kid, trying to impress
your dad. You scored the goal, the game was over,
you won. You look to the stands. He's not there.
Where is he? You wait and you wait, and he's
not there to pick you up. You end up getting
a ride home eventually from some weird old lady and
she tells you it'll be okay, don't worry. Her dad
didn't love her either. Then we cut back to the
other Aris hardcore guy. He says, moving to engage. He
moves and he hustles across, and he gets behind this
couch and he says, soft cover couch, engage, and he
pops up and he lifts his Aris outfit and take
a shot at you blind fire. Essentially, here comes.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 5: You are at a minus one because of the previous attack,
but you also have that same three, so you're at
a plus two to your dice pool two successes. As
he fires a single round, he says, target acquired another
Ares branded laser pointer on your dome. Hit me, I'm sorry,
you said, plus two plus two net yep.
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh successes, all two successes.
Speaker 5: The bullet whizzes pass and it goes through and it
would have hit the wall, but the wall's not there anymore.
It flies through into the flame. As the flame rose further,
it's licking at your heels, your boots. You can feel
the heat through it. It's like having your feet up
on a campfire. Oh flashback, You're sixteen years old, You're
drinking a nice cold beer. You're at a campfire with
your pals. Bonfire. You guys are throwing in your books
from school. You didn't go to school. You don't have
any books. So you decide to throw in something of
the similar equivalent your life experience. You throw in a
pack of smokes that you stole from the stuff for shack.
You don't have to try anymore. You go in and
Gustavo just cowers and he says, just take them, just
take them, please, don't hit me, And you know you're
on the right path. The flames lick at your boots,
and you roll initiative again.
Speaker 1: I wasn't even a smoker until this session. This is
all fucked up.
Speaker 5: Don't worry. We're gonna cut to you quitting smoking soon
if this keeps.
Speaker 1: No, what do you do?
Speaker 5: Oh my god?
Speaker 6: Oh those guys.
Speaker 1: They are like I'm rolling one less dice than them,
and they are perpetually getting like ten more than me.
Speaker 5: Let me look at this thing here. What do we got?
Why are they rolling so many?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 5: So many?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's because they got wired reflexes. That's why they're rolling.
Somebody dice, genetically enhanced, perfectly trained, cybernetically augmented. They've got
wired reflexes, lightning pulses through their brains, down their spinal column,
every nerve in their body. It's firing and unison, perfectly timed,
like a perfectly timed, perfectly tuned engine on a nineteen
sixty nine shut charger.
Speaker 6: And it's ready.
Speaker 5: And you can feel the rhythm of the energy as
he lifts his aries predator again, it's already lifted. He
doesn't lift it again, it's still there, and he goes,
he goes, Ah, any fires wait for it twenty two? Nope,
that's not right. Hold onident.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, seven seven You need to stop rolling
higher every round. All right, this is insane.
Speaker 6: This is John Wick over here.
Speaker 5: Right, you have thirteen. You got thirteen initiative. You can
use some of it to dodge. Yeah, but here's the deal.
Check this out. Here's what's happening. This is a special
rule that I'm installing now and it will run for
the rest of Shadow Run for everyone that ever plays
shadow If you're listening to this and you're playing Shadow Run,
this is a rule in your game. Deal with it.
You're being shot at. If you describe a truly traumatic
moment moment, that's right. Ment. That's a word. It's like
a marmot in a moment combined. It's a moment you describe.
I have a truly traumatic moment from your character's past.
It flashes before his eyes as his bullet comes at you.
Give you a point of edge. Let's go all right.
Speaker 1: Well, since we're going with the theme of my dad
being the best guy on Earth, so I'm at the
hockey game. I just going to.
Speaker 5: Voice, oh yeah, yeah, it's the narrator.
Speaker 7: I'm at the hockey game.
Speaker 1: I slip, I fall, I miss the shot. Dad's there
looking at me, disappointed, shaking my head. I know that
it just means when I get home, no ice cream
and probably a fist or two sandwich, it's not gonna
be a good night I get home. Dad just you know,
shitting on me all the way back home. You suck,
You're terrible. You're a horrible kid. You're awful. You're never
gonna get to varsity. Get home. There's my dog, the
only dog I've ever loved, the only thing in my
life that I care about.
Speaker 7: It takes the dog, he kills it.
Speaker 1: This is what This is what loss. Traumatized for life,
always wondering what would have happened. If I would have
made that goal, Spot would have still been alive, but
instead instead, this is the trauma. Spot's broken body and
me huddled over him, crying, and Dad going, you're a loser,
You're a bitch. Traumatic enough?
Speaker 5: Yeah, shit, Oh my god, oh yeah.
Speaker 3: I'm learning so much about everyone tonight this.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, okay, uh seven successes huh oh.
Speaker 5: I thought you guys, haven't I was. I'm like, that
is exactly enough.
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Can I edge the defense role?
Speaker 5: Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think that's what we're gonna have to do here.
Speaker 5: This is gonna be with the three with three, the
plus three. Also, you have gymnastics.
Speaker 1: I think I have a rank or two in it.
Let me double check, yes I do.
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, you can hit that dodge button. You'll I
mean your initiatves is gonna drop down to an eight.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to do that, because
I want to be able to have two turns potentially. Okay,
so first off, let's roll the bad luck. Okay, all right,
so we're going to do We're just going to do
defend and uh what was it?
Speaker 5: It was two for cover, yes, plus Uh No, we
were saying plus three plus three because this is the
first two.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right, yep, thirteen successes.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, you're unstable. The bullet whizzes by into
the flames, and it's on the first we hear it's
somewhere smell. The unmistakable scent of burning acrylic acrid fills
your nostrils, travels from nose to your brain. You can
feel your synapses firing as that smell triggers the memory
of your dad burning, your only beloved teddy bear. And
it sizzles and he says, this is what happens when
you mess with the orphans and you don't understand. It
doesn't make any sense, none of it, None of it
makes sense. And you realize that you you're you're, you're
really you're, you're inhaling a lot of burning plastic and
it's fucking with your memories.
Speaker 1: Yeah it is.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Uh. The other guy says, uh, moving to secure targets. Uh,
you got this, bro tut leydo and he goes over
and he starts to tie up the unconscious. Oh wait,
everyone forgot, especially not me, but everybody else forgot about
the now regenerating fucking banshee.
Speaker 6: Now, Adam question. Uh, last session, I had her under
a permanent spell effect to just shut up and go
to sleep.
Speaker 5: You're not You're not there anymore, man, You're not the
fuck out.
Speaker 6: Okay, So spells, even permanent spells, disappear once you've fallen concents.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, oh yeah, she wakes up. She's got regeneration.
This power allows rapid healing of any damage a critter
has taken. By the way they count his critters, it's
a little fucked up if you ask me. But I
didn't write this. Somebody else did. At the end of
each combat turner, the critter has any damage on either
of its condition monitors, it makes a magic body tests
and his body to the number of hits scored and
heals that many boxes of damage, first from physical overflow,
then physical, then from stun. If the gritter has excess
exceeded its physical overflow damage, it's not dead yet. It
still gets a regeneration test. If after this test its
physical overflow still exees his body, well, then it's dead.
Blah blah blah blah blah blahlah blah blahlah blah. There's
no more paragraphs to that fucking rule. So it is
able to regenerate. And it fucking and by it I
mean her. She still a person, just a person with
a disease, a terrible disease uncurable from what you understand,
does things to the mind. The body changes you, but
still a person, still a little girl with hopes and
dreams and an adorable little She's got a shirt on
and it's got like a rainbow with a heart, very
juxtaposed by her fucking terrifying razor sharp teeth and her
fucking horrific scream that she lets out I can't scream
like that because my daughter is trying to sleep. But
she screams and he goes, ah, but like really loud.
So I'm oh, fucking shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 5: This power effects is everyone who hears it, friend or
foe within a radius of magic times fifteen meters. That's
everybody in this fucking room opposed tests magic plus charisma
against intuition plus willpower. Give me intuition and willpower.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's see what that looks like. Mm oh, it's
not it's not terrible.
Speaker 4: Could pass it again and then.
Speaker 1: Only two successes would be.
Speaker 5: Words one, two, three, four, five successes? Yikes? What did
I say? You're supposed to roll? It's what what? And
what logic will be?
Speaker 1: There?
Speaker 4: We go, let's intuition successes?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you said intuition will all right, fine, I'm still
gonna take the three and uh, let's see logic intuition.
Where's that's the same. Okay, So there's gonna be one
less and then this guy one less, So there's nothing.
How did you do? You got what?
Speaker 1: Two of them?
Speaker 5: She got a bunch? She screams. The sonic pulse that
escapes the mouth, the vicious maw We're not gonna call
it a mouth. Let's show it some respect, vicious maw
of this beast. This little girl, she's probably like a eleven,
opens and escapes, and that reverberates through your bones, through
your flesh, through your mind, and you feel it's shaking
you to your core. You can't move, You're terrified, stuck
on the spot, paralyzed. She leaps forward, I'm fucking like
seven feet in the air and just slatches on into
the fucking face plate of this guy's helmet, tears it
off with her claws and starts chewing on his face,
brings him to the ground. He would scream, but he can't.
He's paralyzed. She's ripping him apart. That happens for like
two turns as she eats him.
Speaker 1: What does she go on a specific initiative or is
she just faster than what's the.
Speaker 5: She's she's she's going, now, let me give it, let
me you know what, let's roll it. Let's get her
initiative in here. She's got one of those, and it's
probably pretty fucking crazy. I assume it's gon to be
really good, but nine, but uh, you already acted, so
I didn't do anything. This turn didn't. We didn't, we didn't.
Speaker 1: You do a thing and then they twice and then
that she got up.
Speaker 5: Okay, so you do a thing and then she's gonna
do her thing. All right, fine, yeah, fine.
Speaker 1: That's that's what I was hoping for.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, you do a thing and then that happens.
Speaker 1: So obviously I don't know that she's gonna do that.
But when when Jacques throws her down, when four throws
her down, do I see that she's like conscious or
starting to move or get up or anything like that.
Speaker 5: No, right now, she right now, she's totally cool, and
by cool, I mean unconscious and wrapped in a uh
like a it looks like a shower curtain, like a
like a trans translucent shower curtain. But as her turn
comes up, that's what's gonna happen, and you have you
have this bizarre premonition, magic power. She didn't know you
had to tell you. Maybe that's what's gonna happen next
turn with these specific dice results, then.
Speaker 1: Oh well, I'm definitely gonna move because I'm on not
to be on fire. We don't want that. Why are
there so many unconscious bodies?
Speaker 6: Because he doesn't have any fucking edge to the vibe.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm able to move forward. He's huge,
I'm strong, I mean, I am, I'm what is it
carry plus? Lift?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Body string? So I guess, let me ask this. Can
I actually move him?
Speaker 5: Like, let's consult the rule.
Speaker 1: I sue for that.
Speaker 5: I you know what, I don't know. Tune in next
week to find out if you can pick up a
heavy guy. Let's see here.
Speaker 4: Lift plus Carrie. We'll tell you how much weight you
can carry.
Speaker 5: It's true lift carry. I don't know, I mean.
Speaker 1: Because I know what my scores are in those my
body and strength. Does it just give me a flat number? Like, however,
that much of that is equals X.
Speaker 5: You roll and it adds to a thing.
Speaker 4: So lift off the ground fifteen kilograms per point of
strength without making a test. If they wish it more
than that, they can make a test.
Speaker 5: What's your character's strength score?
Speaker 1: Nine?
Speaker 5: Nine? So what's nine times fifteen? It's gotta be like
like one hundred and thirty five?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 5: How many kilograms does forward?
Speaker 4: Way? Well?
Speaker 1: First, we got to convert that into pounds because we
use real metrics around here.
Speaker 5: He's Canadian.
Speaker 4: He might have it in kilograms, I know, because we
don't use them system like that.
Speaker 5: Do you guys use stone?
Speaker 1: What do you mean like that?
Speaker 4: No? Like, well, no, we we we use feet and
inches for when we described someone's height, and we use
pounds when we describe someone's weight. But like we use
the metric system and and fair like it.
Speaker 1: We're like a weird But how much.
Speaker 4: I don't know how much does an eight foot six
tall man?
Speaker 5: Way google it.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm gonna yeah, he probably would be like
at least four hundreds.
Speaker 5: How tall is he?
Speaker 4: Like, he's eight foot six, he's built like a ship
brickhouse and in real life, like I'm almost seven feet
tall and I'm not built like a ship brickhouse, and
I like, on a good day, weigh like two hundred
and eighty.
Speaker 5: Okay, So I've got a thing is tall dot life
and you can put in how much you should weigh
based off of your height. So we're gonna say eight
reverse engineers and we're gonna say body mass index. We're
gonna go with a let's let's give him a solid three.
I don't know what that means. We're gonna calculate that.
Speaker 6: Pure muscle no body means he's like an arex thing.
Speaker 5: Okay, let's say six. I don't know.
Speaker 4: Actually, like so muscular people tend to actually register as
will be suppording to BM.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's gonna.
Speaker 5: Unix units as metric funk. It's gonna make me convert
into centimeters. Hold on, everybody, we gotta do some serious,
serious fucking man that I actually that fucking man. Three
eight calculate we got you at uh body mass index method.
I'm not sure what that means. Is two oh five
point nine kilogram, but it says better body mass index
it's twenty two to eight point seven kilograms, So you
might be ten times as heavy as the regular thing.
I don't understand. I don't know the answer is, I
don't fucking know. Well, now it's advertising things to me.
Speaker 1: Let's say, with my strength, I can carry just about
three hundred pounds.
Speaker 5: He weighs. I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1: He probably weighs more than that. A little more than that,
I would imagine.
Speaker 5: I would say probably double.
Speaker 6: The Yeah, yeah, but you just need to drag him
out of the house, right.
Speaker 1: Six pounds That seems a little excessive, but Okay, anyway,
I don't.
Speaker 5: Know, he's eight and a half.
Speaker 4: Realistically speaking, he's probably about four hundred and fifty pounds,
which would be two hundred and four kilograms give or take.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I uh.
Speaker 4: And your score is nine times fifteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I can carry one hundred. I can carry two
ninety seven, three hundred pounds.
Speaker 6: Okay, so you should be drag him.
Speaker 5: Here's the deal this game, this game was created in Chicago.
Why is it metric?
Speaker 4: I'm so confused because everybody but you use this metric.
Speaker 5: Yeah it was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, check this out.
Speaker 5: One of the one of the guys that create is
Tom Dowd is currently I'm gonna I'm gonna out you Tom. Sorry,
he's currently the dean at the college that my my
wife went to, which is fucking bizarre. But uh yeah, yeah,
it's from Chicago. Is made in Chicago, old Chicagy. That's it,
all right, let's go, Tom Dowd, send us some messages,
give us some reviews, tell us what you think of
the show. Come sign my book. I got a copy
of Burning Bright that was printed in nineteen ninety five,
and I would love to have your name written right
on there.
Speaker 1: Adam based on based on how fast the fire spreading,
how long before I think it's going to hit the
kitchen time.
Speaker 5: You feel confident that it's gonna happen at an incredibly
dramatic time.
Speaker 6: I love that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, mechanically speaking, Mechanically.
Speaker 8: Speaking, you've got at least a certain number of rounds
equal to when it's the most exciting, probably either when
you escape or when they're about to kill you, one
of those two things.
Speaker 6: Yeah, m.
Speaker 5: You all wake up and realize it's been a computer simulation.
All of you are thirteen years old. You're sitting at
your computers playing Shadow Run on the internet. Role for detention.
Speaker 1: Sorry I can't so I think.
Speaker 5: Perfect, like you've been paying attention.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, what do we do?
Speaker 1: I mean, I was thinking of trying to grab uh
vault first, because I could actually pick him up and
get out and then try to go back in and
get forward. But like if I if I thought the
house was gonna blow like any second, I'd probably try
to get forward because he is my my actual friend
before all this started, Like I knew him before, Like
that's part of our backstory, right seeing, but there's also
part of me to be like run over. So this
guy was coming gonna be like this house is gonna blow,
and like see if I like I can grab vault
and he goes for the woman like knowing like, hey,
get your ass out of here. But I don't I
don't know how much that's gonna work. There's also part
of it just wants to fucking popa gridanious jacket and
throw him into the fire.
Speaker 5: Oh dude, that's that's the fucking answer. That's awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, we got we gotta go out in a
blaze of glory. I don't think I don't think dragging
people out of a house is the way to do it.
I think we gotta try to put these assholes down.
So I am going to go, man, I hope uh
hope Ford's cars fireproof. I'm going to I've got a
strap on the shotgun, so I'm just not gonna be
using the shotgun right now.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna get up basically like you throw it and
it like whips around onto your back.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get up. I'm going to run over the
uh the top of the car. I can't actually turn
my token now because it's covered by this stupid thing.
Oh well, I'm gonna run over towards this guy, and
I'm gonna try to uh throw a grenade into his
uh like the back of his vest. And then I'm
gonna try to throw him like towards the car, over
the car, towards the fire.
Speaker 5: Oof. That's a lot of action. I'm gonna say, uh,
do you have any edge left?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 5: No, make edge happen. Tell me what happens. Give me
some fucking traumatic back, flashbacks to something relevant to this situation.
Speaker 1: Something okay, this exact situation. All right, So my dad,
after you, I'm back to that same flashback. He's burned
my favorite teddy Bear because I'm a loser. I'm a wimp.
Speaker 7: But Dad, he's a drunk asshole. He passes out. The
teddy Bear is still on fire. Nobody realizes it. The
fire starts to spread, hats to spread throughout the apartment,
our shitty one bedroom apartment, just like the shitty one.
Speaker 1: I live in now, just a small as that fucking
that fucking closet over there that's about to be burn
with all those clothes that are more expensive than everything
I own.
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, fire spreads, got it. Dad's passed out.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows. I get up. I try to try to
wake him, my little hands on his big massive orcan
Daddy wake up? But he doesn't wake up because he's drunk,
he's passed out, he's probably high.
Speaker 7: Because he's a loser like that, I can't.
Speaker 1: I try to drag him out of bed, but I
can't because he's too big.
Speaker 7: He's an orc and I'm only a kid. Dad dies
in the fire, flames wrapping.
Speaker 1: Around me up, coughing, tears strimming down my face. I
can't breathe, I can't see, but I can't get him out.
Speaker 7: I find myself dragged out of the fire. Where's Dad?
Dad's still a fire kid, says the fireman wrapping me.
Speaker 1: More of those cool metallic blankets, Yeah.
Speaker 5: Dude, the ones that like the pop tart blanket.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: My skin and is all covered in soot. The tears
streaming down my eyes wipe some of that away. Dad's gone,
Teddy Bear is gone, Spot is gone, all by myself alone,
alone in this cruel world.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Chris, Chris, who hurt you?
Speaker 1: And the Space Rings games Workshop fucking D and D Yeah, Yeah, continuing,
Is that is that Dad right there? In my nightmare vision?
Speaker 5: That's him, that's him, that's him him two weeks ago.
Speaker 2: I love how I love how it can never mid journey,
can never get tusks right.
Speaker 5: So they're fleshy and they're coming out of his mustache.
Speaker 3: Got he's got a food man shoe.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So ideally what I want to do is I
want to, you know, throw put the grenade between this
guy's vest and his body, right in his back, so
hopefully he has trouble getting it, and then I pull
the pin after it's in in his jacket, and then
basically try to grab him and you know, potentially lift
him and throw him either over the car or like
on top of the car, and then you know, hope
that when the blast goes off, the car will take
most of the damage and I can then only have
to deal with one guy.
Speaker 5: Okay, do you have palm? Me car?
Speaker 1: Gets that?
Speaker 5: How well you're able to hold a basketball with one? Ad?
I think is it's give me a jildy, a jildy
minus one.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's part one. That's not bad that I can
do well. I don't know with these dice rolls we've had.
Speaker 6: So far, right, let me listen, Chris. At this point,
all day. You've been rolling like ship. At some point
it has to be good.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, to successes.
Speaker 5: You tuck the grenade in, you pull the pin. Give
me an unarmed combat all right?
Speaker 1: Uh, that is a skill. It is which I do
have ranks.
Speaker 4: In God, and you got nine. You're actually stronger than
orders I didn't.
Speaker 1: I got three ranks in unarmed combat. Okay, oh my god,
success Jesus.
Speaker 5: Okay, you've got the point of edge that I decided
to give you. Give do a reroll on that. Well, actually, first, first.
Speaker 1: To use the edge to do all this cool ship.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, we're we're making up rules as we go.
Give me an edge.
Speaker 1: Roll the bad luck roll okay, okay, three.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, all right, now click that one success button.
Re roll that bad boy? How do I re roll it? Yes, yes,
all right, he's gonna make his avoidance roll tax avois
here we go or attack avoistion. Pardon me, it's a
different thing, avoition avoition.
Speaker 4: I'm also.
Speaker 5: But it's a fantastic case of froud. Yeah, Dude's here's
what happens. You tuck the grenade into the back of
his vest behind the You know the part that says
aris hardcore, and it's got a cool graphic of like
a cross air and like a dude running, and you
tuck it in the back. And then like he's got
like a drag handles too, so you pull the drag
handle back and you tuck it down there, and you
see him go like and he like starts reaching back
trying to get to it, and he can't, and you
grab on to like the straps of his vest like
right by like a you know, his chest, like between
his shoulders, and you grab onto it and you fucking
throw your whole weight back. You throw one foot up
into the due growing and you push with all of
your might as you roll onto your shoulders and you
kick him into the air. He hits the top of
the fucking forid americar bing, hits his face against the turret,
rolls off of the turret into the fire, and he's
like god, and you hear him screaming as the fire burns,
just like your father screamed at the fire but he died.
And then he explodes gloriously as your grenade sends bits
and pieces of that guy whose name you'll never know,
all over the fucking burning house. One left, damn. Then
then the Banshee girl eyes snap open, glowing, bluish, pale, icy,
kind of like one of those fucking icy ice walker
fellas white Walkers from the Game of Thrones thing, except
instead of doing nothing at all, she actually does something.
And she leaps up and she dives and grabs on
to the other last remaining aries hardcore trooper and fucking
pulls his mask over and it starts chowing down on
his face as he's paralyzed by the screams. You also
paralyzed by the screams in this living room. You're on
your back, you roll onto your shoulders as you've released
the guy. The scream goes off. You see her just
in time for your body to go rigid.
Speaker 1: You plank.
Speaker 5: You're on your back on the floor, staring up at
the ceiling has got that stupid popcorn stucco bullshit, and
you look at it and you think, how the fuck
do you even clean that? Why would you ever make
this decision? God damn, it's twenty seventy six and they're
still doing this. Fire, fire spreads, it grows, expanding. By
the time you come back to your senses, cars golfed.
Maybe it's still drivable, who knows. You regain your bearings.
You look around, you see just unconscious bodies, dead people,
bits and pieces fire. The alarm is going off, the
fire alarm. What are you gonna do about that? You
don't know where the fuck it is. You think the
batteries maybe need to get changed, but no, it's beeping
too much. It's going off.
Speaker 1: There's smoke all around.
Speaker 5: You know it's not gonna be long before the fire
department arrives. You start thinking, hey, hey, shouldn't shouldn't the
knight Errant be here by now? Where are they? Why
aren't they here? Somebody did something, something's wrong. They should
be here by now. Maybe maybe the fire department will
still get here. They're probably privatized too. I don't know.
There's not a lot of stuff about the fire department
and the rules, but you don't play by the rules.
You play by your own probably private size. We're gonna
say that it's a fire co Industries and they collect
payment upon extinguishment of fire, and if you don't have
the money, they relight the fire. Because this is that's
the kind of fucking world.
Speaker 1: This is.
Speaker 5: This is the future in the future of America, and
you see your friends, your enemies. The only person still
moving the little girl, and she's chowing down like a
personet of all you can eat hot wing buffet covered
in sauce, but the sauce, the sauce is blood.
Speaker 6: Bro oh.
Speaker 5: The windows are blown out, the heat, the smoke pours
billows throughout the house. You've got about seven No, you're
not you know, you know, you don't know the metric system.
You've got like, I don't know, maybe like a sixteen
inches of clear air below the smoke burning all the
synthetic materials that are used to produce everything these days.
Fucking produces a lot of acrid, bullshit smoke. And you've
learned from your time as a child, your exposure to
fire in the past. Stay low, stay alive, move quick,
Get out, stay out. It says that you thought it
was funny when you saw it. There's a picture of
a muppet on the side of the fucking fireouse. It
says get out, stay out, and you're like, what a dick,
But now you remember it. You're always gonna remember. Get out,
stay out the fire. The fire's coming. It's coming for you.
It's coming for everyone you love. I've been drinking and
I didn't take my meds this morning.
Speaker 1: I don't know where I am.
Speaker 6: I didn't even tell us what you were drinking.
Speaker 5: It's brought to you. It's officially not brought to you
by Noon Whistle Beer, Good Pibrations Pastry series half of
Vising beer with bananas, vanilla cream and other natural flavors.
Tastes like a banana cream pie. Goes down, smooth, stays down,
delicious six point.
Speaker 1: We got a different alcohol.
Speaker 5: If I can. That's how I like to live.
Speaker 1: Maybe beer wow.
Speaker 5: Also on top of it, check this out. I I

a tagline. We can get a sponsorship from them, for sure.
Speaker 5: Wolf Schmidz Vodka. You heard it here first.
Speaker 1: Knuckles is like wondering how it all came to this, right? Uh?
So the girls like.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, she's, she's, she's and she looks up
at you and like, have you ever seen a Thirty
Days of Night?
Speaker 1: Actually? List watch it, dude, watch it.
Speaker 5: It's dud dude, It's fucking fantastic. Hey, what the hell
happened to Josh Hardenet? Come back to acting, buddy. We
miss you all right? Anyhow, dude, she's like her whole thing,
like from fucking uh from from her cheekbones all the
way back to her ear lobes, down her chin, down
her neck to the top of her shirt with the
fucking rainbow on it is just blood. And she looks
at you and she smiles and she says, I.
Speaker 1: Hi, Uh, let's play.
Speaker 5: She does to say like that, she goes, she goes,
let's play.
Speaker 1: Uh, okay, let's get out of the fire first. Uh okay,
Well is is she what is she doing? Is it
her turn? What's happening?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 5: So her turn just went she she drops down to nothing.
This guy is dead now she's an initiative is zero
because she had nine? You got three remaining. You've got
the final pass of initiative. What do you got? You're prone?
Speaker 1: I am. I'm putting on my gas mask.
Speaker 5: Oh dude, you got a first gas mask?
Speaker 1: Yes, in my inventory. Putting on my gas mask. Also
also this, I didn't think this would actually come into play,
but it actually will. Well it might. I have on
my I guess which one it is? On my helmet,
which I'm not currently wearing, but on my armored jacket.
I took fire resistance six.
Speaker 5: Dude, Yes, you this jacket is keeping you okay. So
here's the deal. Fire suppression brand leather jag gets keep
you cool. When the going gets hot. You don't even
feel the heat. Man. You know it's hot because you
see the flames and you've experienced them before. You've got
burns on about sixteen percent of your body. But it's
all hidden. Nobody knows. Nobody knows, but you or you know,
the people that you get romantic with, which doesn't happen
too often because you're kind of a weirdo. You got
some weird habits, you got some some intimacy fear from
a different flashback that we'll get into later. Your dad
punch you in the balls too much, and that's all.
That's the only thing that gets you off.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I'm putting before another half hour goes
by here, putting the gas mask on, and then I'm
going to run over and pick up Vault and the chick.
Speaker 5: Okay, and then I'm a lift carry test. Let's go.
You're probably gonna succeed.
Speaker 6: I think based off you.
Speaker 5: Need you need to You need two hits. You need
two hits to get both of them. Get the keep
doing it, you can get the exact number. That's freaking fantastic. Yes,
you get them both and you and you do this thing.
It's called a fireman's carry, where you you pick them
up and fling them over your shoulder.
Speaker 1: All right, So I stacked, I'm on my shoulder, and
then if I have any movement left, I would probably
go running to jump out this window because that's closer
than the.
Speaker 5: Door it is. It's closer than the door, so you
can move into the room a little way. Yeah, you
move into the room a little ways. Okay, we're gonna
get one more round of initiative going here, and then
that's probably gonna be it for the end, for the
rest of the night, because we've got half an hour.
So let's go for one round. Right, it might be
more than that, we'll see.
Speaker 6: There we go.
Speaker 4: Rag.
Speaker 1: That's been about standards.
Speaker 5: She's got eight. You got it thirteen. Here's the deal.
The fire expands and you hear a lot of explosions
going off, a bunch of ammunition cooking off and firing.
There's bullets blowing through walls, windows exploding, the car engulfed
in flames. It's spreading, moving towards everything, smoke acrid. You
can't see where you're going. You can breathe because you've
got that red gas mask, but you can't see. It's
like walking through midnight.
Speaker 1: You're sird.
Speaker 4: It does have low light vision because.
Speaker 1: I also have thermographic vision and flair compensation and image
link on my sunglasses.
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, the low light won't help you because it's it's
smoke and the therms won't help you because it's it's
fiery smoke everything all you see smears of orange light
all around, completely blinded.
Speaker 1: Whatever, it's still cool, all right, diving out the window
with the mage and uh, well, I guess the both
mages on my on my shoulders, all right, and then
give me give me.
Speaker 5: A defense role, because it's gonna be your intuition and reaction.
So that's that's appropriate. Give me a defense right. Five
five successes. You are able to navigate through this room
without issue. And you and you get to where the
window is, where you feel the window should be, and
you throw them through the window.
Speaker 1: Is everybody, I'm diving with them.
Speaker 5: You dive through with them. You get through the window
with both of them. You dive and you roll and
you you plant them on the ground. As you roll
back to your feet, you're clear the smoke. As it
clears your eyes, you see the house burning. You can
see the roof, the back part of it, the roof,
the roof is on fire. You hear in the distance
the sound of fire engines and you remember them from
your past as a child. That comes back to you.
Speaker 1: The house shut, shut down, all memories. There's no time
with whatever movement I have left, I'm running back through
the front door to get forward.
Speaker 5: You run back through to the front door, and there
she is, the child crouch. She's in some sort of
weird She's like a spider. She's got like her fucking
hands on the ground and her knees up higher than
her shoulders, and she's looking at you, and her head
is cocked to the side in an unnatural way, and
she is fucking terrifying. Here we go. What does she
do again? I don't remember.
Speaker 1: Mauls me in the face.
Speaker 5: Oh, she says, after ten thousand years, I'm finally free.
Speaker 4: No, she.
Speaker 1: Took a weird turn.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, so you a minute?
Speaker 5: Yeah, she she turns into reading her pulse from Power
Rangers time at Concker Earth.
Speaker 1: No, she.
Speaker 5: Uh is gonna wait for Chris. I guess.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: How are you guys doing? You guys having fun? Oh
even Tho, you're not trying to do anything. I'm sorry,
you guys are all just like sitting around, like fucking.
Speaker 4: Not doing anything.
Speaker 5: I hope, I hope this at least mildly entertaining.
Speaker 3: Is hugely entertaining.
Speaker 4: That costs four hundred thousand fucking New Yen and you
just set it on fire. You owe me four hundred
thousand imaginary money.
Speaker 5: Yeah, my legendary bucks.
Speaker 6: Now it's a bit of blast. But man, that is
so much new Yen for for I'm so sorry. I
will have to probably get an actual day job to
put you back.
Speaker 3: Technically, I started the fire, so it's mostly my fault.
Speaker 6: Okay, that's where off just four hundred new Yon paid
off by Mantis and now fired or terminated elf cop
that you can get that back in just a few years.
Speaker 4: You know what, Manches and volt are good. I don't
want money from them. I want Adam to give you them.
I want a word to reach out and just put
money in my pocket.
Speaker 5: It's really easy to do. All I do is open
your characters, type in a couple of numbers. It's it
takes no ever. I'm not gonna do it, but it
is a lot.
Speaker 6: It's I means just free money. I've been adding karma
and money the whole time.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't.
Speaker 4: Like Crab Crab YouTube series where it's like the monstrous
gms that mistreat their players on their next Adam.
Speaker 5: Oh no, I thought I'd been nice.
Speaker 4: You've been wonderful, but fantastic.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 5: Oh man, So I'm on, I'm on like a bunch
of like shatter run podcasts, related discord servers and like.
Speaker 1: Sitiously.
Speaker 5: Oh never, maorry, Well, we'll get back to it. We'll
get back to it.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 5: So's her turn, right, Okay?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, she's dual nature.
Speaker 5: That means that she's she's happy and angry at the
same time. I think she's perturbed, which is like perverted
and disturbed at the same time.
Speaker 6: That yeah, okay, we'll just wing it.
Speaker 5: Okay, So here's what she does. You see, her emaciated
form looks a little less emaciated after her feeding. She
returns to the form of a slender Elvin girl. Her
skin's still pale, but she looks a little bit less, uh,
skeletal or skeletal, depending on who you ask. I think
that sounds stupid, so I don't say it that way.
Scaltal scientists. Scientists do. I guess that's how you're supposed
to say it, and it sounds stupid, so I won't
do it. Science, you're wrong. It's just like the guy
that invented the gift that calls it a jiff. He's wrong.
I don't care.
Speaker 1: It's a gift.
Speaker 6: I mean that I can agree with it.
Speaker 5: She leaps at you, and she flies in an unnatural
way through the air at a full distance of I'm
gonna give it, even though it doesn't look like she's
far away twelve feet. She jumps up and soars at you,
and it seems like maybe she's on wires or something.
It doesn't make sense. And she leaps at you and
she attacks you viciously with her claws and bite. Zero
her accuracy. You let me fix that.
Speaker 6: Actually we're just looking at the dice roll.
Speaker 5: Yes, but I gotta fix it in here because she's
got a physical limit that's higher than zero. There. It is, okay,
all right, all right, it should automatically calculate that. Hey,
guys who make this for free, can you do better?
Speaker 1: They might be.
Speaker 5: They're probably employed, honestly.
Speaker 6: They're probably very they're probably.
Speaker 5: Doing this in their spirit. Hey, people that made this
on real like roll twenty like, come on, but the.
Speaker 1: People that mean people pay for some people pay for
Roll twenty man, So it's not it's not all free.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, but the people, the people, the people
that made the shatter run stuff. It's unofficial, so the
people that made this are like volunteers that just love
shatter run. You guys are the real fucking heroes.
Speaker 1: All right, well that's true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you guys.
Speaker 5: Uh so she gets one success.
Speaker 1: Okay, what do I do defense? Right? Uh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're gonna have to do it for your character.
Speaker 1: She because its two successes.
Speaker 5: She leaps at you and flies through the air in
an au natural way. She's coming at you and she's got
like her feet like forward and her hands board. She's
got like fucking razory needle claws and like gigantic ripper teeth.
And she comes at you and you get out of
the way, and like you do like a technically it's
like a nikto thing where you redirect her momentu the past.
You You basically like grab the back of her and
flinger and she slams into the wall next to you
right there. Bammo. Hits the wall, splats like a cartoon,
lays on her feet, and then she does one of
those crazy like back bends where her like hands come
over and she like flips back up and she looks
at you and she's like your fun.
Speaker 1: Turn.
Speaker 5: You've got three initiative left.
Speaker 1: This girl is a fucking lunatic. Isn't she afraid of fire?
She's a monster? Goddamn it? All right, well regardless of
personal safety, she's a vampire kind of right, so they
don't like fire. I am still gonna try to drag
forward out, disregarding the monster trying to murder me.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, tough. Let's get three hits on this lift drag.
Speaker 7: Oh okay, carry lip?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I know. I'm just you know, eat.
Speaker 5: Successes, what God.
Speaker 6: Broka holds you had come through?
Speaker 5: Oh my god, it's not even you. You go and
it's like it's like when you try to like like
you think you've got a full can of pepsi and
you go to lifted to drinking, but it's empty and
you almost throw it across the room on accident. It's
like that you don't know your own strength, the adrenaline,
the fear of everything going on the fire, and were
waking something inside of you, like a mother lifting a
car off of her child, and you pick him up
and you toss him over your shoulder and you hustle
out of there, Smoke billowing around you as you emerge
from the gaping hole that used to be a doorway,
he's over your shoulder. He's massive, takes up bow shoulders.
You got him. You got his legs over your shoulders,
crotch up against the back of your head, and he's
dragging behind you. His head bumps on the stoop. As
you come through, he's clear the fire. Yeah, he hits
and the part of his one horn that got shot
earlier breaks off and it leaves behind the fire. The
fire spreads, spreads, and you know, you know, you had
one job, and that job was to secure three people unharmed.
That job's failure. I mean, you're done with this initiative
pass which I said was gonna be the end, even
though I thought it would take a half an hour,
took seven minutes. We're gonna clear, We're gonna.
Speaker 1: When we actually play the game, and me alone.
Speaker 5: I'm trying to I'm having fun.
Speaker 1: Again.
Speaker 5: You're up, you're up, knuckles sixteen, you're outside, you got four.
I'm guessing you probably let him go once you're outside.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would. I would try to get him too,
about like this part of the where it says porch
and then.
Speaker 5: Put him on the porch right on the words as
porch on the porch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I lay him right on top of porch. And
then I'm gonna run back, dive through the window, and
hopefully with the thermal vision, I can at least see
where the kid is at The.
Speaker 5: Thermal vision hinders you more than your regular vision gets.
It's so hot. The whole room is a glow with
a heat of the smoke. You breathe in, and you're
wearing a gas mask, and thank god, but you can
still feel the heat through the smoke. Your jacket keeps
it cool. Your pits are dry, but your neck is
sweating profusely. And but you see him on the ground.
He's below the smoke. So you get down and you look,
and you find his unconscious form, his eleven ears singed
by the heat, his headphones still connected to his controller
because it's still wired. I don't know why, but it's
on the floor next to him. He's there. You get him,
You pick him up, you throw him through the window
like a football, and you realize, I'm not good at hockey,
but I was.
Speaker 1: I should have been.
Speaker 5: I should have played football. Maybe then, maybe then my
dad would have loved me.
Speaker 1: But he burned.
Speaker 3: But you get him, you Kevin the darker.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, So I would grab him. I wouldn't throw him.
I would go back out the window with him over
my shoulder.
Speaker 5: Okay, it's way more reasonable, I described. Yeah, maybe I
should have played carry guy instead of it could.
Speaker 1: Have been a great running back man. Yeah. On my
way out, do I see and do I have time
on my way out to grab his his Xbox twelve
ninety or whatever it is these days.
Speaker 5: I think it's I think at this point it's called
an Xbox four, which is very confusing. It's it's there's
been there's been thirteen consoles between now and then now
it's going.
Speaker 1: I mean, it makes sense given their naming conventions so far.
Speaker 5: So yeahah yeah, because it is.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna grab that and put that on his chest
when I put it on the side, so he works
up to.
Speaker 3: The Xbox one again.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you get Yeah, Now it's just called Xbox.
It's true. And it's because it's the the Roman numerals
X B O X, which is ten one million. And
then I don't know what b oh, yes, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: Know what it is. Okay, yeah, I'll grab that too,
and then I'll get him outside and put put him
down with the Xbox on top of him so he
can wake up.
Speaker 5: To that, and then you gain one karma.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right.
Speaker 5: We're looking out for the little guy because he's physically small.
But you do it. Yeah, you see the Xbox and
it's it's small. It's like the size of a modern
cell phone, and it's connected through a USB D, which
is the highest tech of USB. And you grab that
fucker and you yank it and you're ready to go.
Speaker 1: All right, that's probably all I can do in one turn.
Speaker 5: So absolutely, So she's up, Tina. She regains her footing
and she starts to sprint around the corner and she's
in front of the house. The fire spreading. You hear
things exploding inside. You understand that the guys in there
they had grenade aids, they had rifle rounds. All of
us cooking off, blowing up, bullets, excuse me, flying out everywhere,
Sirens getting louder, The fire department, fired, fired Depot Co Ltd.
On the way. You know, you know it's about to
hit the fan. It hasn't yet, but it's coming. The
fire department. You think the cops are bad. The fire department,
Oh baby.
Speaker 6: Watch out.
Speaker 5: So for some reason they're really pissed off. When you're there,
you're outside. You see near you, you see these Eagle
security cars parked, still running. They didn't have time to
turn them off before you grenated their asses earlier.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I threw the keys out in the Remember
you fucked.
Speaker 5: Them up, you did? Oh no, your bad luck strikes again.
She charges over and she looks at you, and she
let's lose another scream. This one's a little bit different
from the last one. This one is going to require
you to make a test of some kind will power
plus logic, and she's gonna make power of magic. Oh great,
rolling twelve dice twelve.
Speaker 1: Twelve, dice one time two and look for that out.
Speaker 5: Me one, two, three, four, she's got five. How many
do you have?
Speaker 1: Four?
Speaker 5: Four? Here's what happens. The terror lasts for one combat
turn per Nett hit score by the critter. You that scream,
it shakes you, It shakes you to the core, and
you you go back to your deepest fear, your deepest fear,
and that fear you see yourself. That's right, it's it's happening.
Speaker 1: You see yourself.
Speaker 5: Sometime in the future, maybe twenty eighty nine or something,
fifteen years, like fifteen years in the future. You're older,
you got a beard now it's long, it's gray in places,
and you see you're in the same apartment, the same
tiny shit box apartment. You got a wife whose face
you can't make out, and you've got your three kids
running around in the apartment and they won't shut up,
and you're wearing a wife beater covered with stains, pits,
sweat everywhere, and the kids go shut up, and you
see them, and all you feel is hate. And you see,
without your ability to control your own hands ball in
the fists as you throw them in, all these children
and the wife. And then you look in the mirror
and you see yourself and you see a father. At
the same time, you strike the mirror, but it doesn't break.
It hits you back. You come too, and it's been
one combat turn. You're you've run. You've run away, run
away from the past, run away from the future. You
can run away, but you can't run away from yourself.
That's uh yeah, uh, there's seven minutes. I thought there
would be another half hour. Let's go one more.
Speaker 1: So so the I got feared, basically and had to run.
That's what happens.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay sixteen yeah, I guess you
could as I guess I could have just said that,
But like.
Speaker 6: You know, your narration is giving me life, making me
able to continue on in this dark world where groceries
are three hundred dollars, in.
Speaker 1: This, in this potato, in this this.
Speaker 5: Potatoes, three hundred dollars, and it was potatoes, just potatoes.
Speaker 6: Listen, I'm the only when things are bad, hey, potatoes,
and every time.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be buying potatoes for the rest of your life,
then Buddy's.
Speaker 6: Potatoes and whiskey. That's what we can make.
Speaker 1: It ain't getting any better, I'll tell you that much.
Speaker 5: The future is. The future is now, old man. Everyone's
outside except for except for the car. That's the tragedy.
As the fire expands, it grows, it hits the kitchen,
it hits the LP gas line, the house explodes. That's
a if you're if you're able to edit in some
sort of big explosion sound effect, do it otherwise kaboom
it blows up real fucking big, and then as it explodes,
smaller explosions happen where the cars were inside. Ka boomka boom,
and there's bits of plastered equivalent and and and shingles,
solar shingles, because that's that's kind of cool. That's a
futuristic thing I'm looking forward to. And they rain down
throughout the neighborhood. Fire department's too late, doesn't matter, but
they're on the way. You can see them off in
the distance, and you get a flashback, a brief flashback
to your research about the roube and him chasing fire trucks,
and you think, maybe maybe he's out there, maybe he's
behind these fire trucks coming coming to hell, and it
explodes your turn. You come, you realize your friends are
still close to the fire, the house, even though it's exploded,
still burning now in great gouts of flame. There's a
jet of fire from the LP gas line, and you
realize with a with a, I'm gonna give you an
automatic success on whatever the fuck roll the LP gas line.
It runs underground, it runs underground, it connects to the
other houses in the area.
Speaker 1: Fantastic, Maybe we'll get here faster.
Speaker 6: If the old neighborhood's on fire, so many innocens just.
Speaker 5: Died, it's spreading, it might spread away further. Okay, fine,
time she's running out, Yeah, where's the kid? The kids nearby?
She you you ran away a little bit, so I'm
gonna put you over here. But she like it's it's
one combat round, so you run and then she's she's
running after, she's running after you on all fours and
she's like bent over weird. It's like the fucking Exorcist.
When then she came down the stairs and the re
released version that came out when I was in high school.
Speaker 1: Fuck, I didn't think i'd get this far. I didn't
plan this far ahead. Okay, at this point, I'll hit,
you know, the button on my comms unit to call
up Jimmy so I can talk to him while I'm
running and trying to fight and live. And then question,
do I know based on all the ship that I've
seen and experienced all these ghoul that she needs to
be like suffocated to like knock her out? Do I
do I know like what I need to do to
get her to like stop going feral?
Speaker 5: Okay, so here a couple of things occur to you.
She's not feral, she's aware, she's.
Speaker 1: How do I get her on a beast mode? That's
what I want to know. Do I know how.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there is no way to remove beast mode. This
is this is who she is now. The infection has
done this to her. It's made her want fear. It
makes her feel full, insatiated. She feeds you somehow know
she feeds on emotions, strong emotions, fears the most delicious
of emotions to a banshee. The only way to stop
her from going on this kill crazy, fear inducing rampage
is to render her unconscious. That can be done it
in a couple of ways. You can beat the shit
out of her. You could. You could prevent her from
being able to breathe. Or that's about it, man, that's
about it. Drugs drugs won't do it. They're immune to drugs,
other pathogens, other diseases.
Speaker 6: What about the drug I purchased.
Speaker 5: Yeah, totally wouldn't work on her, but it totally would
have sent her mom. And also it wouldn't No, no,
it wouldn't have worked on her, but it totally would.
All of these hardcore guys would have been fucking laying
on the ground if they got hit by it.
Speaker 6: Damn. If only someone had bought that and put it
that their grenades, that.
Speaker 5: Would have that would have that would have been like
a real disappointing like, oh, well, I guess there's no
problem here. You guys went again instantly, But you.
Speaker 1: Do I do I know? If? Do I know if
she can be stunned by any sort of weaponry?
Speaker 5: Uh? You feel you feel good about electricity? Man? That
will probably still do it?
Speaker 1: Do I know? Or do I think a flash bang
grenade would work or stun her?
Speaker 5: It's like, there's there's not there's there's no reason that
that shouldn't do what it does to anybody.
Speaker 1: So maybe is what you're saying.
Speaker 5: Uh, it'll like I can't tell you that it'll be enough,
but I will tell you that it will still do
what it does.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I think that's where we're going to start,
because if she's stunned for maybe around I can try
to get it under control. So I have one flash
bang left. Uh, as I dialed Jimmy, I will toss
that and basically rolled across the grass in her direction,
try to get it right next to her.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: Here we go, oh man for own weapons and successes
getting wrong?
Speaker 5: Six six six six five five five four three Holy shit?
What fresh edge? One fucking precedented?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 5: Armor ped It doesn't matter. She hasn't got any armor.
Ten stunts, she's gonna roll to try to soak the
ten stunt.
Speaker 6: Well it's right, or is that ten total?
Speaker 5: Uh? No with the grenade now it doesn't do that bullshit.
Yeah no, the grenade, the grenade basic. Yeah, grenade, Like
if you get three hits, it goes where you wanted to.
Speaker 1: In that case, I wanted to land right her mouth.
Speaker 5: Uh, yeah, you do. So she's she's like running and
she's like she's got this bizarre she's like like bend,
like backbend, running on all fours, like fucking her elbows
and knees, bending in directions that don't make sense, and
like her head's like twisting around, and she's like running
towards you, and she's like laughing like a fucking lunatic.
And you throw the grenade and it it rolls across
the grass. It hits the bottom of this porch. It's
like a kind of crete slab porch. It hits or
I'm sorry, it's plass crete. Pardon plass crete poured slab porch.
It hits that, it pops up into the air. It
bounces once, bounces twice, lands right in her mouth as
she's going and you see her eyes wide and blue
glow like ice with a light through it. And the
thing goes off. She soaks two does eight stun.
Speaker 1: That is it's pretty good.
Speaker 5: Hold on, hold on, hold onunch she's got four on.
So with four on, that makes that twelve and see
if this will do things? Okay, So it goes into
two physicals. She's knocked the fuck out but still alive. Uh,
and she'll be alive face wherever, but you knock the
fuck out. It goes off and like as the shockwave
goes off, her jaw dislocates her cheeks ripple and low motion.
The light goes off the and the just the sheer
kinetic energy of the blast flings her head back. She
goes and flips in the air twice before landing on
her back. The remnants, the remnants of the metal shrapnel
fall out of her mouth, blood everywhere, cheeks blown off,
and you see from where you are the flesh of
the cheeks is beginning to re knit itself.
Speaker 1: Perfect. Great, that's exactly what I was hoping for.
Speaker 5: You've got one four initiative pass and you've got just
moments you can see the fire engines coming around the bend.
You're at the end of the cold well, You're not
at the end of the cul de sac. You're in
like the middle of a cul de sac, and they're coming.
They're coming up the road.
Speaker 1: All right, Uh, last action, I'm gonna run to the
four cops that I knocked out at the beginning of
this last week with the stun grenade. You gotta grab
as many handcuffs as I can. I'm gonna try to
handcuff her arms behind her back.
Speaker 5: You handcover with four pairs of handcuffs.
Speaker 1: Because I'm assuming she's like extra strong because she's in
you know, vampire mode. I don't know if she is,
but that's what Knuckles is thinking. And then as that's happening,
hopefully at this point, Jimmy's picked up the phone and
I'm like, I fucking need a med a med truck
here now.
Speaker 5: The team is down, whatever, Jimmy, Jimmy, He's like, hey,
I hope you on mine. I'm on this shipter and
then you start you start screaming into the phone and
he's like, whoa, whoa, whoa what do you you need
a ride? Okay, okay, I mean you got fuck me
all right, I got a guy you'll be over Where
are you?
Speaker 1: The whole team is down. I need help immediately.
Speaker 5: Ship holy ship. I got all right street docs, butchers, whatever,
just send them. I got somebody that can send in.
It's gonna she's gonna be Yeah, we'll.
Speaker 1: We'll pay it. Man, you know it's we're good. Do whatever.
Speaker 5: Make it hair right?
Speaker 1: All right. There's explosions going off in the background, people screaming,
running in the streets.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, And you guys see as the fire engines
approach the next house over dead nates fucking A big
a big plank of wood with like a like whatever,
fake aluminum siding flies through the air. And it's in
three D. By the way, this whole movie, you guys
paid for three D. Take us to see this whole thing.
This is the thing. This is the only thing that's
been in three D. It flies, it flies up into
the camera and like shoots out over the crowd, right
into your face, and it says the end question mark.
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna say Home Street Home next week.
Speaker 6: Oh man, I have seized the bathroom for like forty
five minutes. I've been rooted in my seat. Oh fuck,
what a session.
Speaker 3: Oh I couldn't get any harder.
Speaker 9: We can't, Adam you you have single handedly, you've single
handedly erased the shittiness of this week that I've had,
and you've replaced it.
Speaker 1: You have, you have fixed everything you possibly could. It's
like Games Workshop never fucked up. That's how I feel
right now.
Speaker 5: You're too sweet, You're too sweet.
Speaker 6: It was a blast.
Speaker 5: It was too blasts.
Speaker 6: It's about to be like ten blasts.
Speaker 5: This whole entire places guys at this.
Speaker 6: Point, Oh yeah, okay, back to Frankie. Love that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Terry strike again. This time they're bombing, pulled the sacks.
What a bunch of monsters.
Speaker 6: Why is this harror man always here? I I have
the non script feature.
Speaker 1: Why do they keep seeing? Yeah, I've got the other
one though. They definitely noticed me after all this shiit, No.
Speaker 6: It's just funnier. I don't notice you for the random
homeless man. Just I'm just eating gburrito.
Speaker 5: Huh yeah, see the random The random homeless man is
featured in all sorts of online conspiracy theories about what
do they what do they call those people? Uh, crisis actors.
Speaker 6: Alex Jones or whatever, Alex Jones, whatever, Alex Jones, the
sixth Alexis Jones Aso's is paying this actor to be here.
All of his gigs are paid through some guy named
Johnny who shit's constantly in bullies waitresses.
Speaker 5: Hey, he stopped bullying waitresses after he got his ass
kicked that time. I don't know, but his attitude changed
a lot. Also, he's at a different restaurant where the
service is a lot better. So he's he's a lot happier.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's better because he doesn't abuse.
Speaker 5: Problem all the time.
Speaker 6: Oh man, a great session, A lot of fun guys.
Speaker 1: So we are. We are back next week though, adam,
Oh you know what I got forgot?

Speaker 4: But you did say the end question mark again?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Okay, I will say guys. Oh no, my med kit

Speaker 1: Hey man, I can only work so many miracles in
one session.
Speaker 6: Okay, your fault, I paid for a six you call
the doc Wagon. That's all that matters.
Speaker 1: I was considering driving the car out, but Ford was
in the middle of the road or the way, so
he would why And I was like, I don't have
enough time to get everybody in the car and then
drive out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I ever thought.
Speaker 1: And then I was like, oh, I'll get everybody in
one of the police cars and then we could drive away.
But it's like, oh, wait, I threw the keys away.
Speaker 6: So like, at this point, I have thirty seven thousand
newdian I'm just gonna buy a doc Wagon membership.
Speaker 1: You know what. We'll just pile everybody on my motorcycle.
Speaker 5: And I was thinking that. I'm like, I'm like, all right,
what do you got? You got three, you got seven,
you got seven people? You can do seven people on
a motorcycle. I've seen videos on the internet.
Speaker 4: Yeah, my shoulders, like especially if six of them are unconscious.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, no problem, no problem.
Speaker 1: I'll stack them neatly across the back seat, like you
know when you have someone unconscious on the back of
a horse, and I'll just stack them from biggest to smallest.
Speaker 6: Weep too, It's just you know, like a rabbit skin,
a deer skin, the bear skin. It's easy.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, what a session, folks, How about that. Wow,

Speaker 1: It was last Well, Adam, that was so exciting, very
very great.
Speaker 6: I love the character descriptions for.
Speaker 1: Back Yeah, and I didn't. I didn't give him much
to work on when he asked me for like some backstory,
it wasn't. But man, you took it. That was awesome.
