Havoc Brigade! : Session 1
Tuesday Nov 12, 2024
Tuesday Nov 12, 2024
Here we go! Welcome to Havoc Brigade!, a game written by Grant Howitt, and available here -- https://gshowitt.itch.io/havoc-brigade
Admittedly, this game does seem to feel a bit more lively and fun when played around an actual table, and it one continuous session. That said, we all had fun playing it, and I hope you all enjoy listening to our madness!
It's also worth noting that we did take this rather "cartoony" quite quickly, and it certainly does not have to be played that way. However, as much as we mention this game, we also felt like yall should hear us play it!
The Cast:
"New Steve" -- 'Sergent' Shivvit Deadeye, half-orc infiltrator
Ben -- Moontoof, Wyrdforest Shaman
Terry -- The Goblins (Stinky Pete, Stab, Snot, Brain, Bang, and Gobblit)
Eric -- The Ox
Hagan -- Profanius, devout Paladin of Bog-Al-Karukk
"Old Steve" -- GM
We greatly appreciate the donations of our Patreon supporters: Eric Witman, Jeff McKinney, Joshua Gopal-Boyd, Dave Smith, Brett Bowen, Streety, Nate Doverspike, and Dec! Y'all make keeping this going possible!
As always folks, have fun, be kind to each other, and go play some rpgs!

Thursday Jul 04, 2024
We return after our short midsummer break with another episode of Oblivion War!
This time, the crew of the Comet's Tail find themselves actually in the bar they sat out for, and contacting the Signals & Flares Division! But all does not go as planned!
The Cast:
Ben -- GM (and wrangler of cats)
Eric -- Prangalar (catfolk scout)
Hagan -- Groth (orcish primalist)
Terry C -- Barnelby (gnome bard)
Steve (New) -- Kulweg (gnome alchemist)
Steve (Old) -- Karlax (crystal-based bioroid tech)
The setting is one of Ben's creation, and we'll let you discover it through the course of our story. Of course, feel free to ask questions in the Discord, as we can all be found there. And in about 2 weeks, the next installment should arrive!
