Let’s Play Space Wreck Demo
Shane takes a look at the demo of Space Wreck, an intentionally short hardcore roleplaying game. P.S. Cambots suck.
Game description from Pahris Entertainment SIA: A passenger shuttle is damaged after a pirate attack and you must find replacement parts on a nearby derelict space ship. — Intentionally short hardcore role playing game that borrows as much as possible from the best isometric RPGs (Fallout, Fallout 2, Arcanum).
Let’s Play Geneforge 1 – Mutagen Demo
Shane checks the first part of the demo of Geneforge 1 – Mutagen, a unique, truly open-ended fantasy adventure in a strange, new world. You are one of the Shapers, wizards with the awesome power to create life. Want a tool, a trap, an army? You summon it into existence. You create mighty beasts, and they totally obey you. Usually.
But now? Your creations want to rebel. Will you crush them? Or help them?
Geneforge 1 – Mutagen offers unmatched freedom in how you play. Use magic or your deadly pets to crush your enemies. Or, use trickery, diplomacy, and stealth to win the game without ever attacking a foe. Choose between a host of rival factions or just destroy everything. Defeat the final boss, or switch sides and join him. Fight alone with blades, missiles, or magic, or create your own army of custom-made mutant monsters.
Geneforge is an epic fantasy adventure with over eighty zones to explore and 50+ hours of gameplay. Choose from dozens of skills, abilities, and pets to reach a vast array of different endings. The coming rebellion will scorch your continent. Who will win? It will be up to you.
Geneforge 1 – Mutagen is a total remaster of the 20-year old indie classic.
Let’s Play Sword Coast Legends Story Mode #51
The Underdark unfolds (barely) as we continue flailing around the Forlorn Cliffs with a terrible sense of direction but make progress working out the main puzzle to continue. Illydia and Hommet level up. We put the beat down on Drow cultists and assassins and various evil beasties.
This a let’s play of the single-player campaign of Sword Coast Legends.
Set in the lush and vibrant world of the Forgotten Realms, Sword Coast Legends offers an all-new way to enjoy the time-tested magic of playing Dungeons & Dragons as a shared storytelling experience. With a deep narrative developed by a team of long-time industry veterans and a partnership with Wizards of the Coast, the single-player campaign of Sword Coast Legends brings the world of Faerûn home like never before.
D&D Tomb of Annihilation Notes #10 – Orolunga
The strange, fantastic and helpful ziggurat of Orolunga with its elusive guardian naga. Montaging travel with player input. Portent dice. Does paralyzed end concentration? Disengage and movement. A new patron haiku.

D&D Tomb of Annihilation Notes #9 – Firefinger
Crossing a river. Firefinger and pterafolk. Shield guardians are heavy. Azaka tigers out! When do turned undead actually turn? Climbing speed. Carrying capacity. Falling damage. Smacking someone as they fall past you.
Main recap starts at 30:00

The Elusive Shift: How Role-Playing Games Forged Their Identity – Episode 235 – 12-22-2020
Shane Plays Geek Talk Episode #235 – 12/22/2020
The Elusive Shift: How Role-Playing Games Forged Their Identity with Jon Peterson
Highlights: Jon Peterson discusses The Elusive Shift, his newest in-depth book about role-playing game history. The importance of fanzines to the hobby and researching its history. Where did the term “role-playing game” come from? The history of “roll-playing” vs “role-playing”. Letting the dice tell the story vs GM fudging. Some dice history. Platonic solids and the nature of reality. What was Gary Gygax’s design reason for saving throws? The three types of wargamers. A D&D cookbook. Orc bacon. Bonus bad jokes.
