Cold City: Berlin (Session 0)
Alun R facilitates Session Zero for next time's one-shot of Cold City 2nd Edition (Malcolm Craig, Handiwork Game).
This session was organsied as part of The Open Hearth Gaming Community (https://openhearthgaming.com/ RPG) using our Gaming Calendar (https://app.playabl.io/communities/th...).
Come join us (https://www.patreon.com/openhearthgaming.com).
We create a Noir Berlin where nothing is free and everything has a price; where violence is never far away and 'innocence' negotiable; where double lives and dark pasts leave 'the truth' unclear. It is a Berlin of Cabaret Bars, U-Bahn Stations, Industrial Wastelands ravaged by war, Waterways and Bridges. The agents' priority is to hunt surviving Nazis and what they created but they face opposition from the intelligence services of the nations ostensibly cooperating in that very hunt.
We meet Josephine Martine, the compromised French spy, Katya Turgenev and NKVD Officer haunted by her exposure to 'border science', Jack Babb, the cockney Flight Sergeant resentful of what happened when the rest of his squadron 'disappeared', and American surgeon, Dr O'Rourke, traumatized by his experiences in the Spanish Civil War but determined to find out why certain evidence was excised from Nuremberg Trial statements.

Lordsworn: Temple & The Sunless Ones & Epilogue (Session 5)
Temple: Wulfrid the Veteran, Jor'ilt the Spellblade and Kai the Lieutenant arrive at the frontier of Trufast, but the gateway Temple there has been cruelly desecrated and their old comrades slain and defiled.

The Sunless Ones: Trina the Water Dancer, Charlotte the Knight and Sovan the Creed Guard see Trufast finally, but greeting them is a parade of The Sunless Ones whom they faced in the cataclysmic battle, bearing trophies of the slain Gods and forcing the locals to bow down to them.

Epilogue: the remaining members of the Company see the future that awaits them and look to the healing that must take place...


You rode to war at the call of your God, swore yourself to Their divinity as the drums of war beat from every corner of the Pantheon. Standing beside your divinity, Their purpose so clear and noble, you felt immortal. Beside your fellow Lordsworns, you felt your victory a certainty, battle but a trivial formality.
Now They lay dead before you, Their Godblood flowing into the dirt. Already the world lurches in distress, twisting at the loss of a God, one of many to die this day. Your Captain, too, lies broken, entrusting the survivors of your Company to the you. Of the thousands who rode out, you are all that remains of your Company.Your God is dead. You only have each other now.

LORDSWORN is a GMless TTRPG for 1-4 players of tragic, fragile stories of desperate survival and comradery at the end of the world. it is by Marren MacAdam and is available here https://marrensmusings.itch.io/lordsworn

Eotenweard: The Looming Dark (Session 6)
Alun R facilitates the finale of a series of Eotenweard (his own PbtA game in development of Dark Age Heroes protecting the innocent from a Darkness growing across the Old North).
This session was organsied as part of The Open Hearth Gaming Community (https://openhearthgaming.com/ RPG) using our Gaming Calendar (https://app.playabl.io/communities/th...).
In the finale of our series, the apparent absence of the entire population of the pagan marsh village of Cefnwahl presents the Heroes with a mystery that requires a different approach! There's an oppressive atmosphere, distant pipe music, and very strange animal behaviour. Then, the Stinking Bog stinks, a crow offers a warning, and a 'snake' offers more. Soon the Heroes head into the Bog in pursuit of the haunting music but are misled; they risk the stench and try again; and find more than music. Then, pipes are revealed, a musician wakes, and a nemesis is revealed ...
