After driving deep into the jungle of North Borneo the investigators come upon a clearing and an ancient temple.  Roosted outside the temple are the same strange, winged creatures the party had previously encountered on the plane.  Let’s just say you never get a second chance to make a good first impression.

The audio is a little rough on this one.  Our recording bot's recording didn't quite work so I had to rely on a backup one-track OBS recording.  Honestly I thought I had lost this recording too.   Enjoy and Happy New Years -RPX The job is over and the damage done, but we had to get the gang together for one last look at Scrape, a Red Markets campaign.

When we last left our investigators, their flight to North Borneo had just encountered turbulence.  And by turbulence we are of course referring to strange, winged beasts that have apparently already made off with the pilot.  In this continuation, our investigators must first repel the flying beats onslaught, then land the plane.  Since no one has points in piloting, this is bound to go well.

Upon returning to Caduceus headquarters from Bolivia (see season 1 of The Two Headed Serpent), the investigators are quickly whisked away to North Borneo to investigate a strange outbreak.  As their flight nears its end, they encounter what might be their final descent.

Note: Reposting this episode due to the original being cut short due to technical difficulties.  Consider this the Synder Cut.  If you have listened to the previous version please feel free to skip ahead to the 3hr and 27 minute mark to continue where the recording cut out.

With that said, this was a super fun game to play.  I think the best description of the session was from Crazon, who said it like Sailor Moon meets Doom.  Also in this follow-up scenario, we are using Delta Green rules to portray a shadowy organization covering up the existence of magical girls.

Following the tragedy at the Sakura Festival, Project Twilight is activated to keep the public ignorant. As four agents attempt to cover-up the events that happened at the theater, they discover that although one battle may have ended, another one is just beginning.

While is important for a game master to have clear objectives when plotting out a campaign, it is also equally important to allow players the opportunity to fill in the gaps with content based on their decisions.  In what could be called an ‘organic’ episode (we started talking till a topic developed) Adam, Crazon, David and Rob discuss how to establish player buy-in.

Note:  Contrary to what the background noise might suggest, we did not record this episode in a Chuck E. Cheese.

In the summer of 2020, Dungeons and Dragons announced that along with removing past racially insensitive material from its books and adding more diverse writers and game designers, that they were also removing the well-used trope of “evil races” from their game.  Since it has been nearly a calendar year since that announcement, we here at the Roleplaying Exchange decide to weigh in on this topic.  If you have listened to us for any amount of time, you can probably guess where we are going to land on the matter.

Joining in on this conversation is Adam, Chris, Laura May, Rob, and special guests/honorary RPXers David from RPPR and Crazon from Al Dente Rigamortis and One Less Die.
