Due to the hectic nature of the last few weeks, I was unable to get an AP report up for the third session of our Saturday campaign. However, since the last two sessions have both been part of the same extended scenario, combining their reports makes it easier to collect my thoughts. So here we go!

The Cast

  • Alex, playing the part of Captain Daylen Forgrun.
  • Gaston, playing the part of Calvo Sotelovich.
  • Nathanael (me), Arbiter, playing the part of Mihoaela Tatiana Kojimirin.
  • Nievita, playing the part of Aeroica Mindal Tsvetkov.
  • Scott, playing the part of Khazimir ibn Zalikahn.

Two Saturdays ago was the second session in our Undiscovered Countries campaign, using the Verses RPG rules system. In my last post on this game, I gave some details into the setup, the system, and the campaign premise, so I’ll skip all that and get right to the meat.

This past Saturday, July 21st, saw the first actual game-play session of our new campaign. Aside from the goal to have a buttload of fun, the purposes for this campaign are two: to give the Verses RPG rules a working progression towards completion through extended playtest, and to work as a unit to create a new campaign setting in which all involved can be personally invested. So far, after a character and setting jam session and one actual play session, the results are better than satisfactory. With this post, I’ll kick off a series of post-session Actual Play reports. Interested? Keep reading.

    • Groovy: Lev, Well, there is kinda one they came up with already, but it’s mostly a joke.
    • Lev Lafayette: Ahh, the “war against swine”. Whatever happened to that miserable failure? If one is...
    • Groovy: “…I think that the problem is mostly one of perception shared by a minority on both sides.”...
    • Groovy: Jake, I believe you’re probably right on that last part. My perspective is that of someone who dabbles...
    • Jake Richmond: I’m starting to argue just because I like arguing. I think our difference in opinion is a matter...
