Mud & Blood

We regret to inform you all that we are taking a slightly longer break from Carrion Company. As a result, we are posting this WFRP one-shot that community member Roders (now Sofia) ran for Matt and fellow Kult player Harry last year. Sofia won second prize in the 2019 Five-Page Fiction contest and choose this one-shot as her reward. Her prize-winning submission, Nights in the Drakwald, can be found at http://mbcast.co/drakwaldSince this one-shot is quite long, we've split it into 2 parts. The second part will go live in a fortnight, after which we will continue with Carrion Company.To get in touch or discuss the show, you can find all of our social media links on our website: http://mbcast.coIf you like our show and would like to support us or get access to some exclusive content, we're on Patreon - take a look at http://mbcast.co/patreonIf you can't support us on Patreon but still want to help us out, how about using our affiliate link when buying RPGs on DriveThruRPG?

Unfortunately, our interview with Sean McCoy fell through, so to fill the gap we have done an episode about player tips for grimdark games instead, as this was a topic requested many of our patrons when we asked for ideas (and no other topics were forthcoming).While we wanted to keep this to tips before, during, and after a game, it naturally expanded a bit, so you will also find quite a bit of discussion around session zero.
