Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk

Sketch #80: Adventurer's Funeral

Each week we revisit a short skit from the main podcast, a year or more back. In this one, the party says goodbye to a dearly departed friend in the traditional manner of the adventurer.

Awfully Cheerful Engine! Demo -- Beam Me Up!

These are the voyages of the starship FSS Brazen. Its continuing mission: to recklessly go where plenty of people have probably been before… and hope a major interstellar incident isn’t sparked in the process. In this highly illogical adventure for the ACE! roleplaying game, you’ll explore frontiers you never thought you had. 

This one-shot demo of the Awfully Cheerful Engine! is run by Morrus, with players Sara, Bez, Matt, and Quill!
