Discussion Episode 19: FreeMarket Review

Posted in Discussions, FreeMarket, Non-Actual Play, Review, RPG Only on June 19th, 2010 by Kevin Weiser

Turns out we had a lot to say about Jared Sorensen and Luke Crane’s FreeMarket. This is our longest review yet, clocking in at a full 90 minutes.  This game was certainly a challenge for us, and we spend quite a bit of time breaking down our impressions and problems we had with the game. We’re all looking forward to our interview with Luke and Jared coming up next week!

FreeMarket Actual Play Session 4 Finale

Posted in FreeMarket, Play Sessions, RPG Only on June 8th, 2010 by Kevin Weiser

Our time on the Cassini-Huygens Orbital Intrasystem Relay Station comes to a close. We wrap up our contract with People’s Energy Corporation, discover some interesting tidbits about Syntax_Error’s family. Derek Blaze re-establishes his reputation in a rather unorthodox way, and Muse gets creeped out.  To cap things off, we demonstrate a Tier Challenge, and put The Report up for review by the whole station.
