Tonight was our session 0 for our new Runner campaign. Runners was designed by Jesse Pyne and uses the CORE RPG System, created by Tod Foley. Runners is set in the near-ish future after the onset of nuclear war. There are still pockets of humanity that have managed to survive and even thrive in this new world. Their lives are not without danger, from lingering radiation, mutated animal and people, bandits and simple lack of resources. That's where Runners come in. They are the brave (some may say foolish) few that risk everything in traveling the Burnt.

Ulla Vangelis – Leslie Reggie Carlisle – John (Beta) Trae Mowaka- Jesse Jack Nash – John (Prime) GM- Tod Foley Trae tosses the canister and lid to Ulla. Examining the interior of the lid, she's shocked to find a message embossed into the metal: "YOU WILL RETURN WHAT YOU HAVE TAKEN." She shows it to the others. Ulla comes clean and tells them about the experimental implants in her head. She was "designed," she explains, to function as a first-generation cyber-assassin for Wolfram. The system in her head is worth billions. She actually performed several missions for them -- including one that took out an important lieutenant of their enemy "The Fate Broker" and his army of "whisperer" informants -- but eventually she grew tired of their mistreatment and fled. They continue walking eastward, talking as they go. Ulla is experimenting with her new senses, mastering the use of this nano-swarm like a new skill, and becoming hyper-aware of things in her general area. Ulla becomes aware that there is a group of people about 300 meters ahead: they're a little bit below ground. Trae sends a drone ahead and locates an underground door. Nash and Reggie decide they'll go in first and Nash knocks on the door. The door cracks open a bit and a large gruff man in a mining helmet stares out at them. The man pulls a cigar out of his mouth and barks: "PEOPLE OR STATE?" Surprised, Nash assures the man that they have nothing to do with any city or state, so... "I'm gonna say people. The man opens the door for them and shakes everyone's hands. "My name's Exo, and I run this place. He leads them down a set of rickety stairs to a massive subterranean complex, all recycled wood and scavenged machinery. "Welcome to Tube City," he says. Exo leads them deeper into the complex. A workshift is just ending, and a crew of miners comes up the tunnel toward them. The foreman of the off-duty shift introduces himself as "Blinky," Ulla asks what exactly they're working on. Exo looks at her. "Why the tunnel, of course! We're gonna finish the job we came here to do!" He explains that they "hit a few snags" when the city abandoned the project. We'll be there in a year, maybe two. Are they ready for us? NO!" He rallies the others up around him, shouting "People over State!" Fists are raised, slogans are chanted. Nash asks Exo what they plan to do when the tunnel is completed. Exo tells him that they're already in touch with some people who'll be helping from inside. "When we finally break through, it's Revolution Time, son." Trae asks who those people on the inside might be. Exo laughs at him, and hands them off to Blinky. "Get these people a meal," he says & walks away. Blinky takes them back up tunnel to a small eatery where they have some lizard stew and hardtack crackers. Blinky explains how the job of digging the tunnel was a lot easier when they had the old automated equipment and AI, but now they're doing it "the old fashioned way: a lotta shoulder and back work." Trae asks him about the smaller tunnels Exo had mentioned. The foreman says they keep those tunnels sealed for a reason. Ulla notices that Whisper is hiding behind a nearby table. She coaxes the kid over and begins asking questions in a soothing voice. The kid listens intently and moves slowly closer, but doesn't speak. Finally the child is close enough to touch Ulla's knee, and leans in close to her ear. "I like you," says Whisper -- snugging in even closer until their lips are grazing her ear -- and then: "Please take me away from here." http://daytrippersrpg.com https://www.patreon.com/asif Twitter https://twitter.com/CORErpgsystem CORE on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/corerpg/ CORE Discord https://discord.gg/eM5u4XesXr CORE Products: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?filters=100202_0_0_0_0 https://www.etsy.com/shop/MidwestResinGeek https://www.patreon.com/legendsoftabletop Theme music created by Brett Miller http://www.brettmillermusic.net/

Ulla Vangelis – Leslie Reggie Carlisle – John (Beta) Trae Mowaka- Jesse Jack Nash – John (Prime) GM- Tod Foley It's been a long night. Ulla and Nash clean their wounds, and everybody takes turn on watch while getting some sleep. While on watch, Nash cleans the weapons and mounts Erstlinger's gun on the base of Reggie's jar. Trae uses his watch shift to mess with the "Fred" killbot. He manages to get it online again, but without proper electronics equipment, his fix probably won't last long. Later that afternoon they take off into the badlands heading east by southeast (the direction Erstlinger had pointed). Reggie and Nash are discussing the difference between reality and memories when a vortex suddenly opens up ahead, and sitting at its edge is a military-drab 2-liter canister with a row of red blinking lights on top. Nash instantly recognizes it as live ordnance, and shouts for everyone to hit the deck. Reggie pushes with all his mental power in an attempt to shut the vortex, but instead he only manages to disable the canister itself. The blinking sequence stops as the vortex whirls up and away again, leaving the inert canister sitting there... and then the lid starts to open. Ulla realizes what's about to come out, and she shouts "NANOBOTS!" Everybody draws their weapons while Trae dives toward the canister, attempting to hack it as quickly as possible. He's able to establish contact with the onboard system -- and recognizes it as Wolfram code -- but is unable to do anything else about the rising cloud of nanobots that quickly swarms all over everyone. A cloud of nanobots enters Nash's stun baton, morphing it into a writhing snake, and he jumps back. Another buzzing cloud surrounds Ulla, entering her head through her ears and skin, while an even larger cloud covers Trae's body. But when the nanos in Ulla's head reach her central DNI processor, something unexpected happens: her system "speaks the same code" as the tiny devices, and manages to pull them all under her control. Focusing on a single goal, she calls the entire swarm back to her... and they all fly directly into her head. Ulla's eyes go wide. Her vision and hearing are turned "up to eleven" -- nothing but blinding white light and vast waves of horrendous sound -- and as the two networks fall into synchromesh, she feels the unspeakable sensation of millions of tiny bots entering her head *from both inside and outside at the same time*. She falls to her knees and begins vomiting. Then, quickly as it started, it's over. Her head is throbbing. There's no sign of the swarm, though Ulla's skull has grown slightly larger in size. Nash runs to her aid while Trae processes what he's just seen: his network picked up a signal when Ulla called the nanos, and he could tell exactly where it came from. Ulla -- he realizes -- has a DNI implant in her head that she hasn't told anyone about... and it's all Wolfram tech. http://daytrippersrpg.com https://www.patreon.com/asif Twitter https://twitter.com/CORErpgsystem CORE on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/corerpg/ CORE Discord https://discord.gg/eM5u4XesXr CORE Products: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?filters=100202_0_0_0_0 https://www.etsy.com/shop/MidwestResinGeek https://www.patreon.com/legendsoftabletop Theme music created by Brett Miller http://www.brettmillermusic.net/

This adventure takes place primarily in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. It involves Dale Trever and Lilah McCormick, long lost childhood sweethearts, who've gotten back together with one another after nearly 20 years. Both seem keen on resuming their childhood romance. The investigators are hired to help facilitate this reunion but things become quickly complicated. Lilah's precise location isn't known, only that she resides in the Pines somewhere west of a village called Atsion. The girl's father does not approve of such a reunion and keeps her a literal prisoner on his property. Dark event's, which Dale is currently unaware of, lie in the couples past. Lastly, Lilah is not, in fact, wholly human. https://www.goldengoblinpress.com CORE Products: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?filters=100202_0_0_0_0 https://www.etsy.com/shop/MidwestResinGeek https://www.patreon.com/legendsoftabletop Theme music created by Brett Miller http://www.brettmillermusic.net/

Ulla Vangelis – Leslie Reggie Carlisle – John (Beta) Trae Mowaka- Jesse Jack Nash – John (Prime) GM- Tod Foley The more he drinks the more he talks, and Ulla is happy to keep pouring. He ends up telling them a lot, including bits of his life story, his diet of rats and lizards, his ongoing feud with his father, and his insistence on living out here alone (“I’ve been out here for almost a month now,” he says proudly). Eventually he passes out. The group lays him down on the floor and goes through his shit. The kid’s real name is Kenn Erstlinger. His father works for Global Nation Products as an ad sales optimizer. Aside from an employee passcard to the GNP headquarters, Kenn has an implanted RFID chip for a Carter Blue life insurance policy including drone airlift and resuscitation services (this is why he didn’t fear death), and his backpack holds a TufR LifeSaver3000 (a broad-range digital scanner and microfreq hub with 1km range). A cursory search of the surrounding area turns up his campsite, where a SHIELD Viber5 MegaTent sits among a small grove of olive trees. Ken’s “gun” turns out to be a toy replica. Nash tosses it. They take the tent, the card, the scanner hub, and the damaged bot, and carry Ken’s unconscious body to an old pickup truck a few blocks away, laying him out in the flatbed. They then go back to the RV and continue making plans for their next move. As the sun rises behind the gloriously sanguine clouds of the fractured world, a medical drone approaches the area where the pickup is located and descends. A minute later it’s seen heading back to Union City, with the still-unconscious Terminationer dangling from a cable below. http://daytrippersrpg.com https://www.patreon.com/asif Twitter https://twitter.com/CORErpgsystem CORE on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/corerpg/ CORE Discord https://discord.gg/eM5u4XesXr CORE on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/COREroleplaying CORE Products: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?filters=100202_0_0_0_0 https://www.etsy.com/shop/MidwestResinGeek https://www.patreon.com/legendsoftabletop Theme music created by Brett Miller http://www.brettmillermusic.net/

Ulla Vangelis – Leslie Reggie Carlisle – John (Beta) Trae Mowaka- Jesse Jack Nash – John (Prime) GM- Tod Foley Before they can figure out what's going on, one of the little bots shoots a laser beam through the wall of the RV. Trae and Ulla run to get into position while Nash kicks open the front door and takes a shot, knocking the one bot back several meters. Oddly, the others don't even seem to have line of sight yet -- they are moving in random directions. Ulla and Trae shoot at some others while Nash obliterates the first one with a killer shot. Suddenly a voice calls out of the darkness: "Stop! Hold your fire! Ohmygod you killed Fred!" The voice assures them the bots won't hurt them: "You're too big," he says. "They're only looking for food." Nash stays ready, weapon drawn, when the guy steps into the light. He looks like a well-groomed city dweller, trying to play bad-ass. He introduces himself as "The Terminationer" (stumbling over his words as he does so - he clearly needs some practice at bad-assery). Trae knocks the stranger to the ground, disarming him, and stands over him, weapon drawn. Nash picks up the dropped pistol. To Trae's surprise, the guy grabs the barrel of the gun and pulls it to his own forehead. "DO IT," he says. "You think I'm scared of death?" Ulla steps in to calm things down a bit. She asks "The Terminationer" what he's doing here. He starts rambling about bringing termination, fending for survival, being a "real man" -- and then inexplicably begins hurling insults at his own father. "Fuck my dad! I'm never going back!" he shouts. At this point Ulla realizes “The Terminationer” is only a kid, maybe 19, probably a runaway. She warns him about the city's salvage operations, but he's not concerned. "They don't care about anything out this far," he says. "They don't care about the tunnel people -- left ‘em out there to DIE." Tunnel people? Nobody, not even Ulla, has any idea what he's talking about. She invites him in for a drink. "I would LOVE a drink," he says. The kid walks into the RV, where Reggie greets him. The kid glances at Reggie, sits right down next to him and introduces himself. He is completely unphased by the sight of a talking baby in a jar. "I've seen lots weirder stuff than you," he says. "My dad works for Global Nation Products, and they have ties to Nutrex, so I know all about the babies they're growing in jars. I think it's for the Mars colony." This kid has big dreams, lots of ambition, and a fierce drive to rub success in his father's face. Unfortunately, what he doesn't have is two brain cells to rub together. daytrippersrpg.com www.patreon.com/asif Twitter twitter.com/CORErpgsystem CORE on Reddit www.reddit.com/r/corerpg/ CORE Discord discord.gg/eM5u4XesXr CORE on Facebook www.facebook.com/COREroleplaying CORE Products: www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?fil…100202_0_0_0_0 www.etsy.com/shop/MidwestResinGeek www.patreon.com/legendsoftabletop Theme music created by Brett Miller www.brettmillermusic.net/

I had the pleasure of chatting with Oscar Rios about Golden Goblin's latest Kickstarter, The Legacy of Arrius Lurco: Updated for 7th Edition. A wealthy patrician vanishes while traveling through Crete. He turns up several weeks later, wandering lost, with no memory of where he has been or what happened to him. Upon his return to Rome, he struggles to resume his normal life, but finds himself plagued by terrible nightmares, which set in motion a period of erratic behavior. This is only the start of the horror. The search for the truth leads investigators into an epic struggle against sinister cultists, terrifying creatures, and the awesome power of a Great Old One. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/golden-goblin-press/the-legacy-of-arrius-lurco-updated-for-7th-edition https://www.goldengoblinpress.com/ https://twitter.com/GoldenGoblinP https://www.patreon.com/legendsoftabletop Theme music created by Brett Miller http://www.brettmillermusic.net/

Ulla Vangelis – Leslie Reggie Carlisle – John (Beta) Trae Mowaka- Jesse Jack Nash – John (Prime) GM- Tod Foley Grabbing a few useful items from the camp as everyone packs up, the group escapes to Ulla's bugout spot: a renovated RV, camouflaged in an innocuous location ten miles to the south, where they get to know each other a little. She has water and some bathtub booze, and they kick back to talk while explosions to the north verify the destruction of her old abode. Ulla tells them about her past with Wolfram, and how she fled (without precisely describing the technology she has in her head – a fact that Trae notes). Trae also recognizes the company’s name, though he doesn’t remember CRABB having any relations with them. Neither Somnambula Inc nor Diaspora Labs seems to exist in this world; there is no such thing as "DayTripping," and Ulla has never heard of SlipSpace. Nash does his best to explain their own backstory and how they got here, but it sounds completely insane, and Trae’s injections of detail aren’t really helping. Finally, just as Baby Reggie finishes explaining how (a) this might actually be an unstable reality and (b) their messing around with timelines and lucid dreaming may have somehow caused all of this reality-fracturing stuff (both of which are a lot for Ulla to take onboard), the group is interrupted by a squad of little killbots in the yard out front. http://daytrippersrpg.com https://www.patreon.com/asif Twitter https://twitter.com/CORErpgsystem CORE on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/corerpg/ CORE Discord https://discord.gg/eM5u4XesXr CORE on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/COREroleplaying CORE Products: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?filters=100202_0_0_0_0 https://www.etsy.com/shop/MidwestResinGeek https://www.patreon.com/legendsoftabletop Theme music created by Brett Miller http://www.brettmillermusic.net/
