    Act Like You're Supposed to be Here

    The chefs of The Lucky Fin start planning their menu despite being short on supplies. They stick to the code of all wandering chefs and opt to steal supplies that they don't have. Although this is a standard practice, it's also extremely dangerous. Saach, Ty, and Petranella try to repair or at least move the ship.

    The lucky fin makes an emergency crash landing in the parking lot of Intercloud– the orbnet empire built by magical prodigy and former adventuring partner of Ty and Petranella: Andrithael Cloudfallen. As luck would have it they arrive just in time to get swept into business as usual for Intercloud instead of escorted off the premises.

    Caldera City of Dreams!

    Caldera City of Dreams!

    On the free-floating comet of Caldera people from all across the many spaces live together in a strange and wonderful metropolis. None stranger than the occupants of the tenement above the Lucky Fin Diner– aspiring gourmet chef Harker and his crew of sous chefs, former adventurers Ty and Petranella, and the gleefully irresponsible pact-bound hell-streamer Saach. But today, everything is about to change.
    CONTENT NOTE
    This series was originally going to be run as a D&D game for our household. We swapped over to a playtest of the No Kings system after getting frustrated with Wizards of the Coast. We planned this game before Spelljammer was published and the news about the depiction of Hadozee hit the day we sat down to play.
    Body horror, in many ways the horrors of capitalism.

    Zero: Making Space

    Zero: Making Space

    What happens when you sit down to play your first session of a new campaign and decide you want to switch systems and use an original setting? You do another session Zero of course!

    In this session, we figure out the aesthetic and time period of our setting, decide how space and our ship work, and create some of the world history! Then we move on to expand on our character's backstories and explore the cultures they came from. Mel tells us about Vibe Keepers, Aly tells us about the Pottimus Homeworld, Drew explains the Usagon and Bladesworn, and James riffs on dragonlings before deciding to change how they work literally the next episode. Plenty of good stuff!
