Sponsored by Amp: Year Three ----more---- We have another game. I suckered Ian into running this so i can play for goddamn once. It is a superhero game where you play mutants on a meta plot that is unfolding over the course of five years as society copes with the concept of superhumans rising up from the populace. Its very similar to White Wolf's Aberrant but with a cleaner system, better writing and not piloted by pretentious hack writers. Amped has had three successful kickstarters and the current one is just running out as we launch this episode. Try it out if your inclined, its pay what you want on Drive Thru RPG.   Oh crap, im going to have to set up this game on all the websites we usually peruse. Dammit.

Sponsored by SmallMoves Vancouver ----more----   Oh Christ we had to move and it was the worst. Anyway...the circle confronts that old dragonblood soldier, with hilarious results. Then they find our that corrupt politicians from heaven are fucking with Wan Mei. Then they all plan to commit regicide, deicide, genocide, and terrorism. They're all pretty great and not at all acting like 80's cartoon villains.

Then the ghost army returns and they outfit them with equipment and ancestor cults. The Majestic begins monetizing his brand. The Killer Queen  acts friendly. The Wolf dodges responsibility. The Wanderer holds a fighting tournament. Then they all go artifact hunting in an ancient dragonking city. Final Fantasy 6 is referenced. As is Mass Effect.----more----   Note: several laptop fan issues tainted the recording. So i did my best to filter it out but it dampened the background music a bit and made the voices more tin-ey

Sponsored by Mattel----more---- The hits keep coming in season 3. The Killer Queen and The Wolf are missing several organs and find, unconventional, ways around the problem. Void has a project for the Majestic. The Wanderer finds a hill to metaphorically die on. Yet another Alchemical is revealed, seriously its getting old: who writes this crap? Some more history lessons and moral debates get thrown around. The Killer Queen marshals all of the circle's resources together and attempts a truly epic sorcerous working. The South of Creation gets a major paradigm shift.  

Sponsored by Lucas Films----more---- Season 3 begins with a bang! The circle calls up Admiral Sand to help him with the favour hes owed. Then they decide to go to Thorns and confront the Mask of Winters. That .... goes pretty much as expected. The session ends with several characters in intensive care and a shockingly high civilian death toll.----more---- Community shout out goes again to Irked from the OP Exalted forum. They really knocked one out of the park this time by compiling the exalted 3rd charms into a plain document and simplifying the charms into plain english mechanics. Just outstanding work Irked. The readability, clarity and straightforward presentation they put to PDF highlights the poor design choices the Ex3 team stuck to with how the charms are written currently. The book versions make the game near inaccessible to new and casual players. Irked's version is something we are currently looking into for using in our game once we see the final PDF being released and compare the two.    http:

Sponsored by White Wolf Magazine----more---- We are now launching our podcast of our Orpheus game with this introductory episode. We cover the origins of the game Orpheus, the player characters, our games inspirations and talk a bit about the Wraith Curse.  Something weird happened to the recorder and it got switched from default settings to manual. so this episodes quality is a tad wonky. My Bad! UPDATE! Wraith: The Great War is about World War 1! Not World War 2 as indicated in the podcast. Oops.

Sponsored by Deadpool----more---- We rap up Season 2 this session. The circle finds a slice of untouched society from the Shogunate era. Its Idyllic. Then they go back to their nation capital to Murder/Death/Kill the creature wearing The Traveller's skin. An old friend drops in to reminisce with The Wanderer about how great sequels are! ----more---- Shout out goes to the Onyx Path Exalted forum for, again, having a thread dedicated to the Sex charms in Performance and conflating sexuality with predators and creepiness. Keep on bringing the hobby into 2016!

The Majestic throws a limit break temper tantrum and destroys everything. The party gets divided and yells at each other. Explosions happen. The entire point of going to the north is rendered moot.

The group finds a weird bar that has a dracula looking guy who loans them a car. The police get called. Then the group gets into a fistfight!   Huzzah for party dynamics.

Sponsored by IDW Publishing----more---- We have a special guest, Austin, who plays Nerro; a retainer to Void-Within-Without. The two reunite with the circle. We get a story from Void, the group bully each other and everyone meets up with another god damn alchemical. The circle is closer then they have ever been to getting the nightman his needed healing. Can they accomplish their goals after so many setbacks?    

Sponsored by the 2003 Pontiac Grand Am.----more---- This episode is an entire extended fight involving the circle and a Wyld Hunt lead by Immaculate Monks and a Bronze Faction Sidereal. Word of warning, the role playing is a little lighter than usual but is still fairly creative and robust. We also give a bit more time to a previously sponsored fan created home-brew. If you want to see a comprehensive fight between 4 experienced solar, 3 large battle groups, a sidereal and a group of immaculate monks...then this should be pretty neat.----more---- Osseous Hour of Misfortune http://forum.theonyxpath.com/forum/main-category/exalted/794785-osseous-hour-of-misfortune-style-ex3-sma-peach

We discuss the implications of Flame weapons in Creation, the fact that they are a common tool for mystically inclined individuals and how the common person would perceive them as magical despite their mundane-ish origins. This spun off from an interesting forum discussion of the impact flame weapons have in creation.
