Misspent Youth Actual Play Session 1

Posted in Misspent Youth, Play Sessions, RPG Only on January 25th, 2009 by Kevin Weiser

Kevin, Brandon, Dan, CJ, and Jen sink their teeth into the ashcan of Misspent Youth by Rob Bohl. This session covers character creation, setting creation, and Authority creation. It’s our first real attempt at collaborative setting creation, though a few of us have some experience with Burning Empires‘  World Burner. I’m pretty pleased with the results. Here’s a basic rundown of our setting and characters:

Theme: Violence, Class, Innocence

Clique: History club. “Hardcore Historians” (Nerdy Athletic Miscreants) “To preserve and promote the glories of our civilization through understanding of our history”

Characters:

Jen Somber Naital 15yr old Loud and Angry, naive and pretty, stern leader

Mistreatment: Abused Motivation: Thrills Means: Bad

Schtick: Fast Talkin’ Hard Brawlin’ Party Girl Glitch: “Cares too much”

CJ Nix Ranz 15yr old Silly But Serious, sex crazed teen

Mistreatment: Spoiled Motivation: Optimism Means: Cool

Schtick: Can Hot Wire Anything Glitch: Virgin

Dan Valla 12yr old small kid with big attitude, gratuitously emo

Mistreatment: Neglected Thrills: Pride Means: Tough

Schtick: Sherlock Holmes wannabe Glitch: Little Man Syndrome

Kevin Celedor 17yr old shy and bookish, wandering dreamer

Mistreatment: Sheltered Thrills: Altruism Means: Smart

Schtick: “Catch me if you can” Glitch: Caught up in the Details.

Don't Rest Your Head Actual Play Session 3 Finale

Posted in Don't Rest Your Head, Play Sessions, RPG Only on January 20th, 2009 by Kevin Weiser

The 3rd session wraps up our run of Don’t Rest Your Head, and we had a great time with it. We manage to wrap the story up pretty nicely and everyone was definitely “on” this night. We decided to stop breaking up the audio files into chunks that can fit onto CD’s. If that annoys you, and we’ll split ’em back up for you!

  • Dan is the GM.
  • Jen plays Samantha Hopkins, a stoner searching for The Perfect Drug.
  • Kevin plays Trevor Anderson, the closeted douchebag frat guy running from a Craigslist stalker.
  • CJ Plays Jason Standish, a Doctor doing his residency at the local hospital when a corpse gets up and runs out the front door.
  • Brandon plays Justin Hiedsick a soldier trying to return home, haunted by the loss of his friends.
