We got Boots on the Ground! We got Wicked Ones! And we've got a whole heaping helping of other stuff as Magill and Tom bust out some random tables and unique items in the tavern. In Boots on the Ground, things heat up as Taskforce Gyrfalcon blows up a big ol' Jormungand boat with a rocket launcher! Then over in Wicked Ones, a wizard and a necromancer invade the Forlorn Smog Mines of Mount Biscuit, and the players find out if all their hard work building traps and recruiting monsters is enough to keep the good guys out.Find us on Facebook!All music composed by Vince Nitro.
Magill's been contemplating what makes a good TTRPG as he works on his own, so in between bouts of talking about Wicked Ones, he and Tom ponder that question and how it relates to Forged in the Dark games! In Wicked Ones, the monstrous protagonists decide to ally themselves with fellow monsters and together they all go and burn down the local constabulary. ACAB! Then in Boots on the Ground, the heroes ally themselves with some smugglers who are double-crossing the enemy and together they start a fire at a nightclub. Hey, that's kinda similar!Find us on Facebook!All music composed by Vince Nitro.
