Better Angels Campaign: The Spared and the Spoiled

[crawlkill]

So, the campaign rebooted. We retconned the first episode a bit and started up with episode 2 with some new characters. Two sessions and a total of seven hours later we finished the first objective with the team holding a brewery hostage, irradiating the beer by turning a man's arm into uranium, and holding a shapeshifting clydesdale hostage.

All in all, a rousing success.

Yesss! Hope it doesn't collapse into the notfuns again. Dirty World mechanics in a farcical supervillain campaign with Caleb at the wheel, ugh, fuck yes.

IT LIVES! I look forward to seeing what horrors this system brings, I also look forward to Aaron somehow invoking the Reign of Satan On Earth in order to save a puppy or something.

you're in for a huge surprise next episode then!

I was not interested in the system yet. But Caleb's running got me into Eclipse Phase as well. So I will follow this

I'm really excited for this campaign! I picked up Better Angels at Gen Con this past year immediately after playing in one of Greg Stolze's games, though I haven't run anything for my group yet. Hopefully hearing you guys should provide some inspiration.

I am totally excited for Caleb's Better Angels book though.

I've just finished listening to the first session and it's really good. I got a little lost with tribes of Tokyo and lost interest but this campaign has me excited again.

Is the Crown Royal bag of dice a common thing?

I only game with the same people, and one of them does in fact have a crown royal purple bag.

Weird.

[Tadanori Oyama]

There's only three places to get cloth dice bags:

1) Crown Royal bags
2) Game stores that sell felt thingys
3) Rock and gem shows

Non-cloth dice carrying options include zip-lock bags, pencil boxes, and burlap sacks sealed with plastic bread ties.

Some people might tell you that gaming stores and online dealers sell other options but these are common urban myths.

Crown Royal bags are not only excellent dice bags, but bags for all sorts of objects! I learned very quickly from my musician father that Crown Royal bags make great cable storage and the like. I personally use a felt bag my mother made me years ago along with headphone bags I have acquired through my job.

I use microphone bags I got with my Shure M-57 mics. They zip up and are quite sturdy.

Apparently I've been using a Crown Royal bag for my dice for years, but I never bothered looking at the stitching so when Caleb mentioned a CR bag full of dice in episode one I thought "'alcohol paraphernalia?' Who keeps their dice in whiskey bags?"

What was David's supervillain name again? I know we have Shifty, Master Debater, and the Unseen Chupacabra but I can't remember what the friendly Vietnam vet turned librarian turned demonic villain decided to call himself.

[Kamen]

Caped Corvid, I believe.

[Tadanori Oyama]

Glad you could make it out. I knew he was the caped something but I didn't hear the second part clearly. I know he dresses like Tuxedo Mask though. Minus the hat and with longer hair.

[Cthuluzord]

David's whole thing was a crow theme. It will become VERY apparent as the game goes on. No one stuck to their schtick harder.

HOLY SHIT... I am about to fall out of my chair laughing with episode 3. Between the gang proving just how much they're horrible monsters to the brewery takeover I am laughing my ass off. Bill's fucking Smith & Wesson line is beautiful. Great job guys, great job.
