Force Majeure - A Star Wars Actual Play Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

The downside to having dealt with some weird stuff even by the usual standards means that Fireteam: Sabre Harmony is getting a reputation, and that means a jaunt to a garden world that isn't looking quite so much like Eden to investigate exactly what's going on... 

Clouds roil and suspicions boil - it's the Mecha Hack!

System:

This excellent Mecha Hack is by Absolute Tabletop, and is a variant of The Black Hack, developed by David Black. Check out Absolute Tabletop on their website or on DriveThruRPG!

We are disappointed to disclose that we may well have attracted some unwelcome attention from unsavoury sorts during our journey to the Ashen Wastes, but we would ask you to have faith in our pilot, who will ensure your safe arrival with only minimal disruptions. 

We would ask that you make sure your travel straps are secure, as we may find ourselves forced to make some energetic manoeuvres... 

Please join us as we discover the Doom that Came to Sanctaris!

The title of this episode is inspired by a TTRPG created by friend of the show Seamus Conneelly (of the wonderful Cannibal Halfling Games), wherein your Fleet is desperately trying to outrun those who pursue them while their resources dwindle. It has always stuck with me because not only is it a cool name, it took me ages to realise that he meant "Stern" as in the direction on a ship, as opposed to the the attitude. Anyway, buy it here: https://seamus-conneely.itch.io/a-stern-chase-is-a-long-chase and also check out Cannibal Halfling Games at https://cannibalhalflinggaming.com/ for all your TTRPG blogging needs!

All things are circular. Ourobourous eats their tail, and every story ends at the beginning. Call it Destiny, call it the Force, but whatever it is, it has brought our heroes back to where everything started. And from here, nothing will ever be the same again...
