Ep 68 - Layover Part 2: Ars-vaedh Shut

Season 1 · Episode 69

Saturday, September 28, 2024 • Duration 01:02:34

In this episode the Line Bulls still lack access to their healthcare with the Physicker because it is tied to their employment, but you can help erase medical debt by giving money to Undue Medical Debt here

With nothing but time on their hands, the Line Bulls begin to busy themselves with side jobs in Arvaedh- but not necessarily for their side employers. The King of Rats can complete the ritual that was begun on Pippin McKeel more than a decade ago, in exchange for liberating rats from a slaughterhouse. Pippin rolls for rat. Andrel makes a Naruto. Drix shares parenting advice.

Across the Void Sea awaits more than the Isle of Skovlan. The Ministry of Preservation, at Lord Strangford's direction, stands ready to relieve Candice of the Pride of Duskwall or remove her entire crew. But the crew of that proud locomotive have made preparations to stand together, all of them. Andrel has a positive interaction with someone who learns she's an orphan. Drix must stand against his enemy turned friend. Pip loses a lot of chits.

Ep. 63 - Layover: For a Few Silver Tyr-Moor

Season 1 · Episode 63

Friday, October 20, 2023 • Duration 57:53

The northernmost city of Severos is Tyrmoor, named in the fashion of Skovlan. Though Severosi do live in the highlands, many prefer the plains and common Imperial reckoning places the beginning of Skovlan at the lightning barrier of Tyrmoor. But for the Line Bulls of the Pride, the sight of the fourth Shattered Isle brings a nervous anticipation. Pip alarms the Physicker. Andrel gets the truth. Drix dreams of home.

Ep. 62 - Ghosts Train (feat. Xan)

Season 1 · Episode 62

Friday, September 1, 2023 • Duration 01:19:42

Life on the Ghost Lines is carried over the bones of the dead, and every train may one day become a coffin. Before Line Bulls, there were merely electrofields wrapping each train like a raincoat; and after the first hurricane the Ministry knew that something more was needed. Line Bulls fight and die, as necessary as the plasm pushing the locomotives forward and when the entire crew of the Pride of Duskwall stands together they will be able to protect even their own protectors. Andrel gets Trevor to fold. Pip gets yanked. Brogan gets Drix to cry.

Bonus - Rainbow Roll Fest 2023

Saturday, July 29, 2023 • Duration 46:45

CONTENT WARNING: Traumatic Cannibalism Recollection (~38:23-41:38)

This 45 minute screener was played as part of the Rainbow Roll Fest 2023 Showcase. Watch it on Youtube here

Ghosts on a Train is a bi-weekly tabletop podcast where four friends play Ghost Lines, an RPG by John Harper. Take a ride on "The Pride of Duskwall", an electric train traveling through ghost infested territory! Our gang of Line Bulls will ensure your safe arrival by (lightning) hook or by crook! Using a game system that shares a setting with Blades in the Dark and specifically focusing on the Unquiet Dead means that Ghosts on a Train sometimes goes to dark places with regards to death, Dickensian inequality, and the cruelty of Imperialism. But the gang is always quick with a joke, and the players talk about the narrative and their feelings both on and off mic for their own safety and for that of anyone listening. They’re normally audio only, but hope you enjoy them taking the opportunity to be on camera as they play a “Could be Canonical” one off Ghost Lines adventure.

Ep. 61 - Stampede Together (feat. Xan)

Season 1 · Episode 61

Saturday, July 1, 2023 • Duration 01:19:07

Indigo, Badge Name Brogan, is not the first Line Bull to suggest collaboration between Line Bulls for the betterment of them all. But the powerlessness felt by the Bulls is well reinforced and difficult to surmount alone. The Ministry of Preservation kills the very idea of Unionization before it can enter a Line Bull's mind, because once it is there they know that it will never leave. Brogan meets a King. Drix gets some hot goss. Pip seeks out a hard conversation. Andrel fires and she misses.

Ep. 60 - Friendship Coalition (feat. Xan)

Season 1 · Episode 60

Thursday, June 8, 2023 • Duration 01:07:55

A familiar scene plays out on an unfamiliar train. The whims of the noble Lord Glixterbury call for the Soaring Skovlander to stop in the middle of the deathlands, and as an unspoken rule the Imperial Railways should answer his call. But this train has a gang of Line Bulls that stampede together. Sometime later: Andrel confounds Georgie with an unknown power. Pip goes on a date. Drix fires a hesitant finger gun.

Ep 59 - Layover: Lucky Number Sevrin

Season 1 · Episode 59

Thursday, May 18, 2023 • Duration 01:18:56

The final days of The Feast of Gratitude yield warmth for the shivering masses of the Shattered Isles. As the cold leaves the ground, so too does it slowly melt away from the hearts of the disillusioned. The Pride of Duskwall will once more whistle with fire and smoke, a call for its Line Bulls to hop aboard once their business is finished. Drix has a fated encounter. Pippin spends a night drinking. Andrel makes an enemy.
