Two years after the crash, our Takers find themselves in downtown Minneapolis in the budding enclave of MyWay. The Skyways are being secured in this playtest episode of Red Markets D20 - a D20 hack on the Profit System. Who wants to go to Macy's?

Brownie - The Market

Sean - Priceline - a savvy negotiator in a worn suit, looking out for his family.

Adam - Snips - totally not a hair dresser latent with trust issues - but actually a hard of hearing surgeon with a penchant for vasectomies laser or otherwise.

Joe - Doc McStuffins - an immune doctor who knows his worth in the loss for the several meanings that can carry.

In this episode of RPX Rollup, we're rolling up characters for Free League Publishing's Mutant Year Zero. Set in a post-apocalyptic future, players take the role of, you guessed it, mutants struggling to survive in the wasteland known as "The Zone." Centered around the Ark, one of the last remaining settlements in the wasteland, Mutant Year Zero challenges players to explore the ruins of civilization, manage scarce resources, and develop their unique mutations while uncovering the mysteries of their origins and fighting for survival.

In what we have penned Vaccine Season (just ‘one-shot), Joe is taking us through character creation for Mike Pondsmith’s Castle Falkenstein.  Set in an alternate steampunk Victorian Europe where both Sherlock Holmes and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle both exist (yeah, it’s confusing), join us as Joe walks David and Adam through character creation.  Witness the birth of Harlow Moriarty – yes THAT Moriarty’s less evil brother – and Sir Maximillan, a foppish nobleman with way to0 many monocles.

Our War Playtest has come to an end. What have we learned along the way, and what light will Nick shed on lingering questions from our shared trau... I mean campaign. Join us as we wrap on this series.

Nick – The Market
Adam – Shake – A soon to be family man, fringer, unemployed weed dealer, current grow op operator, living outside of the enclave society.
Brownie – Sparky – Old salt miner who was Road Salt's menor and dependent and an avid scavenger. Think crazy old prospector with a salty twist.
Crazon/Review Cultist/Chris – Balto – Pre-crash medic with a latent brother and an ambulance as a dependent. Playing the Driver Tough Spot.
Ethan - St. Bernard - A deeply flawed man, cracked in detatchment, definitely not Benny. He's our face, but can handle himself in a fight. Playing the Fenceman tough spot.

This session was recorded prior to 9 as a dry run to make sure we all understood the war rules. It's a little rougher and goes a slightly different path than the real thing.

Night's Black Agents immerses players in a shadowy world of espionage and supernatural horror where burned spies face off against vampires. In this episode of RPX Rollup we rollup elite operatives equipped with ‘a very particular set of skills’ and the misfortune to learn about a vampire conspiracy. So go grab a stake and firearm – you’ll need both where we’re going.

Retirement Shetirement. We go all in on war assets because our dependents are our war assets. Moths come around again for final prep jobs before the war. We're about to smell some napalm before 11am.
