43 – Let’s Play Deep Carbon Observatory (Part 4) – Does It Have Bones?

We talk about our experience playing LotFP at DragonCon 2016 in more detail before getting to the actual play. Oh, and also before the actual play, we chat about video games (Doom, Grim Dawn, Dark Souls 3) and other media. Our lovely tour through the ruins of the valley continues, and we wind up at the foot of the broken dam. AP starts at 17:07.

You’ll hear this in the episode, but here are our protips for running LoTFP at cons:

  1. Use the summon spell generator
  2. Start in medias res
  3. NEVER LET PEOPLE SHOP AT A CON

40 – Let’s Play Deep Carbon Observatory (Part 1) – Carrowmore

The misery begins.

Deep Carbon Observatory opens with a unique procedure for presenting the chaos of a desperate town in the middle of a cataclysmic flood.

That’s what this session covers. Our PCs try to save some people, kill others, and set their eyes down the valley on the looming dam.

Characters

  • Daniel: the ref, technically responsible for henchman Oxford Comma
  • Jim: Bird Sawyer
  • Tim: Saw Smith
  • Asa: Jargon Wit Backhand

Out of Context D&D

  • Don’t drop Oxford Comma!
  • NO BACKSTORY
  • First things first: let’s split up.
  • We ain’t about second place!
  • That’s not your wife!
  • Perhaps . . . I overreacted.
  • I wanna go engage that pedophile.
  • Jim: Bird shudders. He knows that heroes are the first ones to die.
    Asa (shrugging): Should have chopped a kid in half.
  • Immediately after I killed the kid, a thought went through my head: oh, so that’s how this day’s gonna go.
