The technology park turns into liminal horror.

McCreary Technology Park invites you to see the wonders within! Never mind that it’s been missing for centuries.

A battered exploratory vessel finds its way home. Does its survivor deserve a second chance at life?

Wrapping up the case with an explosive ending.

The party begins to assemble the narrative and motivations for the crime, even as it becomes less clear who’s instigating it all.

The investigation is interrupted by a visit to a doctor of sophontology.

For this game, we developed a planet that will play an important role in the main story, using The Quiet Year. The images below track the colony ship’s progress over time.

Digging through the lives of a family trapped in a gilded cage.

Selecting the next job and heading to the capital world of the Corraster League.

With the body and facts secure, it’s time to decide the first client’s fate.

Next stop: medical facilities in a system that should be quite a bit safer. Not that life always works out that way.

The first contract: retrieve a body from a mining station and find out just how much a corpse can be worth.

Today, we ditch some stress and get back into gaming by taking a pitstop. Ever wondered about the world of cooking mysteries in the 42nd century? Me neither, but here it is!



NOTE: This was a comedy improv game, so it doesn’t conform to the boundaries we usually put on our content.

Grace Gunn, Tommy “Bam Bam” Prue and Irving Holt didn’t expect to find themselves sneaking around the Three Spires Country Club this evening in their effort to rescue Trixie from whomever it was that took here – yet, that’s exactly where they find themselves. But even though this wasn’t in their plans, when you put a private Jane, an ex-con-turned-boxer-on-the-mend and a back alley camera jockey together… you’re probably going to get a few sneaky moves. Let’s hope these three can find the dame their looking for, and fast. Because something tells me, with everything they’ve been through in the last few hours, Trixie’s clock is likely ticking down.Music from this episodeVainoras and the Altar of the Drill – “Alice”Steven O’Brien – “nocturne”Somewhere off Jazz Street – “Descend”Somewhere off Jazz Street – “Ominous”Somewhere off Jazz Street – “Here Comes The Hammer”Zimbabwe3000 – “Hello Midnight”Bebopovsky And the Orkestry Podyezdov – “Homicide Victim”Bebopovsky And the Orkestry Podyezdov – “Russian Criminal Jazz”Bebopovsky And the Orkestry Podyezdov – Unnatural BluesNEONNOONE – “For A Film”

Used to be a time when you could get by on your word and a handshake. While that might still be true for some things, here in Chicago, you get a whole truckload of palooks who want to justify their existence with all kinds of paperwork. Sign this document. Fill out this form and Boom! You exist. Or you get to own that thing you just bought. Of course, on the flip side of this, you get plenty of people who take those papers and turn them to their advantage. Duplicate this form, change a few lines and Boom! You’re someone else or you now own that thing you just stole. And while Grace Gunn, Tommy ‘Bam Bam’ Prue and Irving Holt don’t need those kind of services, they do want to know who owns a slick set of wheels that just sped off with Trixie. And as usual, Grace knows a guy. But where that information takes them, might be a place they didn’t expect.Music from this episodeVainoras and the Altar of the Drill – “Alice”Zimbabwe3000 – “Fire That Becomes Free”Trigg & Gusset – “Kraku”Vainoras and the Altar of the Drill – “Tripping the lowlight fantastic”Zimbabwe3000 – “Echoes Of The Untold”Bebopovsky And the Orkestry Podyezdov – “Red Planet Blues”Vainoras and the Altar of the Drill – ““Farewell dark city limits” Vainoras and the Altar of the Drill – “Wintercourse”Hot Sugar Band – “Wham!”

Final game prep, group creation, and character creation. In case you’re curious, this is what a Sirini looks like.

Doing a bit of pre-game prep to set some parameters for the game, to make session zero go more smoothly.

Right place, wrong time. Wrong place, right time. Doesn’t matter how you slice it, there’s some places you don’t ever want to be, regardless of the time. And in 1933 Chicago, that place is a speakeasy when the coppers are on the hop. And right now, that’s where Grace Gunn, Tommy ‘Bam Bam’ Prue and Irving Holt find themselves. While trying to find Trixie, some cultists and… well something else decided to crash their party. And now the party’s over. Let’s hope this isn’t their last call.



You ask 10 people what you should do if you get into a tussle, you’re bound to get 11 answers. Regardless of what you’re told, you ultimately gotta know what you want to get out of the fight. And right now, Grace Gun, Tommy ‘Bam Bam’ Prue and Irving Holt just want to get out of the speakeasy they’re in, with their precious cargo of Trixie in tow. Of course, that also means that Stanley needs to follow. And this palook Fredrich that was trading some evening pleasantries with Grace? Well he probably wants to scram too. It’s time to settle in and see what happens.Music from this episodeVainoras and the Altar of the Drill – “Alice”Zimbabwe3000 – “Jupiter Ride”Vainoras and the Altar of the Drill – “Sharpen Your Knives On My Mistakes”Kevin MacLeod – “Tango de Manzana”Shirt Tail Stompers – “My Bucket’s Got A Hole In It”Zimbabwe3000 – “What’s Going On, Rafael?”Hot Sugar Band – “Louise” Vainoras and the Altar of the Drill – “Relief through walking the streets at night alone”Vainoras and the Altar of the Drill – “Tripping the lowlight fantastic” Shirt Tail Stompers – “Riverboat Shuffle” Shirt Tail Stompers – “Maelstrom” Shirt Tail Stompers – “Buck Fever” Shirt Tail Stompers – “Cotton Tail”Shirt Tail Stompers – “Sophia”
