TALISMAN, a sci-fi adventure set roughly 12000 years in the future.

It'll be using the Lancer TTRPG system via Roll20, a "Mud & Lasers" game with a good mix of narrative play and bombastic combat.

If you like the idea of piloting your own giant Mech suit, hacking into terminals with cybernetic implants, or stealing sought-after equipment from powerful MegaCorps, then this is the game for you.

--------

Sometime in the millennium 2XXX, a catastrophic event dubbed “The Fall” decimated most of society, leaving us to struggle in the mess we created.

Those who survived managed to spread their wings and form a great interstellar Union of countless star systems.

The (give or take) 12,000 years it took to build this new utopia were fraught with violence, so it’s no surprise that remnants of these wars still remain today.

You are a newly licensed, fully-fledged pilot of your own personal mechanised chassis (or ‘Mech’ for short).

You could be a rusty engineer from the outer Cascades, a no-nonsense trader from the Karrakin Baronies, or even a simple baker from the deserts of Moonhammer.

Whoever you are, you’ve just been awarded your Lancer License – giving you access to state-of-the-art technology that some could only dream of.

Running your combat in "Theatre of the Mind" a different Roleplaying experience

By
First off this is not just limited to Dungeons & Dragons, but can be applied to all systems. How To Run Narrative Combat For those used to running RPGs using a gridded battle map and miniatures, running narrative "theatre of the mind" combat can feel both terribly strange and strangely familiar. If we're used to running combat on a 5 foot per square grid, the switch to combat in the theatre of the mind can easily make us feel like something is missing. How can we really know what's going on in combat if we can't see it? The answer lies in the other two pillars of our game—exploration and interaction. We don't set up battle maps and lay out miniatures when our characters have a discussion with an NPC. We likely don't set up a big map and start counting off squares when the characters explore an ancient ruin (although we can!). We don't have visual queues when we're describing how a thief narrowly avoids a poisoned pin while attempting to disarm

Role Play Games: sessions from a Mad man This is my (Mark) personal RPG blog, atm the moment mainly for formulating the sessions I GM into an ongoing story, so things can be re-referenced (and or spikes my memory of bits I forgot to write about).

We currently also host Friday night online RPG sessions For Xmas and New Years eve they are moving to Thursdays (22nd and 30th) then back to the Fridays. At the moment there are two games running alternate weeks. Talisman Where you play both the pilot and the Mech it rides in. We are in Talisman and have just escaped the clutches of the K-Rex They are now with Rabbas and the resistance. What strengths will the team bring to this rag tag resistance...... Empowered The team has just returned from the Cretaceous Period, our "Heros" find that the city has been taken over by Master Mind, the prisoners all released and the Police in the prison. So what next for our intrepid heros, how will they restore order to Ibadan, only time will tell...         What next? We are looking for more players as there will potentially be a third game being run as well. Depending on number of players we can be split over two games running the same time.
