 It's the late 2070s, and it ain't the future your great-grandpa read about in the magazines. Magic, elves, ghosts, dragons are everywhere...and also cyborgs, hackers, AIs, and all the augmented reality spam you can handle. It's a place where fairytale castles get built one day and then crushed by heavy artillery the next. It's a place where metahumans--elves and dwarves and orks and trolls--are regular people, and far from the weirdest things an average chummer sees in a day. But you know what? You've heard all this already.  Things have gone real bad in the last few years, and things are also looking up. It's complicated. There's a whole bunch more AIs out there that we never knew about, and some of 'em are messing with people's brains. Giving them CFD -- a nanodisease that rewrites your personality and makes you a headcase.  But at the same time, the nastier poo poo the corps do is starting to get better-publicized, and the uninformed masses are starting to get just that little bit more informed.  Once upon a time, a request was made to write a Shadowrun adventure so that others could run it. It was intended to be a short, fun affair, where the name was generated first and then the content built around it. It wasn't supposed to be a big deal, really.  Dead wrong. Things got out of hand and now Dracula Idea is an extremely large, very complex adventure for groups of four to six players. Get ready for the long haul, because we're going to be here a while.  Dramatis Personae  Dicktron - Numbers Goblin & your lovely DM. DM credentials: can write haiku about he own piss. Sinatrapods- Damsel - An albino former wage mage for Shiawase Corporation. Thrown out on her rear end for a minor offense. Golden315 - Peregrine - A mystic adept and former triad. Currently being hunted for a murder she didn't commit. RChimpCola - Unlimited - Still Unlimited, still wears loud-rear end shirts and uses too much Drug. Once cut a man in half. It was fly as hell. semisponge - Chuul - Still hugeass motherfucker likes to eat. Getting kinda old for this poo poo.  Ladderface - Lado - You want to gently caress this elf.  Mr Sunabouzu - Jean & Twinkle Star - Street racing pixie rigger working for the Yakuza, Shadowruns on the side.UPDATES Session 1 Twitch Archive      Session 2 Twitch Archive      Session 3 Twitch Archive      Session 4 Twitch Archive      Session 5 Twitch Archive      Session 6 Twitch Archive     Session 7 Twitch Archive     Session 8 Twitch Archive      Session 9 Apocrypha (Non-Canon) Twitch Archive     mdct fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Feb 3, 2017 |

Hey, you! We're also doing Rogue Trader! NPCs  - Onesiphorus Leach - An art collector and the group's extremely wealthy Mr. Johnson. A normal human, despite appearances. - Bogdan - The extremely proper Chief of Staff for Mr. Leach. An ogre with some extreme cybernetic enhancements. - Mayor Artur Bogdarowizny - Human Mayor of Warsaw-Łódź; but doesn't have much sway in running the city. Very stressed all the time. - Lucja Winograd - The apparently missing fiancée of Mayor Artur. - Iwan Szwarc - Human Psychiatrist & Administrator of Angelstone General Hospital, a public hospital in Central Warsaw. - Jagienka - A very fashionable human employee of Lothian-Vaea PLC. An adept. - Elzbieta - A very tall human employee of Lothian-Vaea PLC. No other information about her as of yet. - Kazimiera - A quietly simmering elf employee of Lothian-Vaea PLC. An adept. - R. M. Heimfeld - An ork enchanter and businessman who's fallen on some hard times. - Janusz Szymon - An ork janitor employed by Mr. Leach. Completely normal and unassuming. - Quincy Morrison - A dwarf tourist. Kind of an rear end in a top hat. - The Knucker - A titanic three-headed snake that lives in a cathedral in the ruins of Ełk.Generic NPCs  - Armsperson - Your run-of-the-mill thug, police, or guard. - Elite Armsperson - Stronger, tougher, and smarter than your average mook. - Mage - An awakened threat peppered throughout, assisting gangs and corp security alike. - Toxic Shaman - A mage who decided to be the worst metahumanity has to offer, powered by a sort of blind magical hatred. - Toxic Spirit - A spirit spawned in areas with particularly low Background Counts, an always-evil flipside to normal Spirits. - Rotodrone - An average-sized rotodrone capable of both air and aquatic traversal. - Bat-Hound - A jackal-sized canid with many bat-and-vampire features, capable of turning into mist.Questions & Answers??? Q: Hey Dicktron! Should I listen to the twitch archive or the audio tracks? A: The twitch archive has my assembled soundtrack, while I edited the audio tracks to sound better + has a lot of ums, ers, ahs, and a lot of unnecessary silence edited out. It's a better listen if you're a podcast listener who does things while podcasting for sure. Q: This format seems suspiciously similar! A: Yep! This thread is a sequel to this old one, in the archives. Expect other games and good stuff to end up in the pipeline in here, including maybe audio-fixed versions of sessions 10-15 of Eclipse Phase. Q: When and where are the streams??? A: At roughly 10:30 PM EST or so on Fridays on over at Sponge's twitch channel. Q: Who drew all those portraits and maps? A: That'd be me! I do commissions sometimes. It's pretty rare though, so don't count on it. (Chuul was drawn by Semisponge and Jean by Mr Sunabouzu, also I didn't do Damsel, Peregrine, Lado, that token representing me, or Twinkle Star.) Q: So this Dracula Idea is apparently real big, can I get in on that business? A: I put so much effort into this that there's no way I won't eventually share it with everyone, but it'll be some time still. I just have to finish writing the actual adventure path down, everything else is finished already, like stats, maps, and portraits. mdct fucked around with this message at 07:02 on Oct 28, 2016 |

Confusing, because it plays on Tindeck just fine on my end - though yeah it does download as a strange file. I'll reupload it and see what happens with it there.

Due to Pods gettin' real busy at work for the next two weeks or so, we're going to be holding off for a bit, sorry friends!! You'll get your regularly scheduled Dice again on the 24th. In the meantime, I'll start uploading Eclipse Phase sessions 10-15 audio over that time. Look forward to it!!

Right, well, so sorry about not uploading any Eclipse Phase, but that's because I got busy with a different project: for reasons, we're going to be alternating games. Dracula Idea will still continue, of course, but when we can't do that, we'll be filling in the blanks with Rogue Trader. Look forward to it. That's going to take the place of Shadowrun next week!

 The Imperium of Man is a horrible and oppressive galaxy-spanning empire, the final and only authority in the vast majority of the lives of humanity. The God-Emperor of Mankind, on his throne and coffin one in the same, was not a soft ruler, and his legacy is even worse. Humans live in fear and ignorance, terrified of the space and xenos around them, yet they know that their Emperor will of course protect them and the Imperium never fall. The Imperium is powerful beyond belief, and stretches farther than any other empire, with holdings in every sector of the Galaxy.  Rimward of the Calixis Sector, setting of Dark Heresy, is the Koronus Expanse. A comparatively untouched section of the galaxy, full of riches andglory to be found by anyone brave or foolish enough to seize it. This is where Rogue Traders come in, the only truly free human beings in the galaxy.  Holding a Warrant of Trade, a writ of almost unlimited authority, Rogue Traders exist as a necessary evil for the Imperium (as to the Imperium, anyone that free to do as they please is just as free to fall to Chaos.) They become incredibly wealthy, explore untouched space, claim planets in the name of the Imperium, and wage wars all on their own, aided by their inevitable amassment of holdings.  The Explorers  Dicktron - Power Overwhelming. Sinatrapods- Captain Venatus Mordino - An upjumped Battlefleet Officer, one of the only survivors of a bloody battle with Tyranids. Our Rogue Trader. semisponge - Svenga Yeshar - Scion of the Yeshar Navigator House. Sworn enemy of the McCulloch Rogue Trader dynasty. Ladderface - Dragos LaHain - A grimy ship pilot who was press-ganged into the service of pirates, but escaped servitude and is on the lam from them. Void Master. Golden315 - Victris Lok - A tech priest from a famously nasty Death World, Magos Victris Lok is the resident Explorator. RChimpCola - GutTunnla -OY WOT IS DIS BOY DOIN' WIT ALL DESE 'UMIESUpdates Session 1 Twitch Archive     Session 2 Twitch Archive      Session 3 Twitch Archive

Rogue Trader Nemeses - Star Captain Aisling Brackenrig - Captain of the Raiders of The Bloodless Heart, nemesis of Dragos LaHain. - Rogue Trader Matriarch Annette McCulloch - Head of the McCulloch Dynasty, nemesis of Svenga Yeshar. - Maximilien Obreck Eundwargeist - The mysterious captain of the Malice Aforethought, nemesis of Captain Mordino?Nemesis of Victris Lok Nemesis of Guttunnla Question & Answers Q: What's up with this Nemesis thing? A: I want every character to have a cool rival. They're not actually associated with one-another. Their level of potential danger is in descending order of introduction: Aisling was known to the party even before the game began, Annette in the first session, and so on and so forth. Q: What's up with your weird rules?? This isn't your grandpa's Rogue Trader! A: Yeah, there's a couple house rules, although mostly ones that are just normal rules in a post Black Crusade world. Firing modes, Swift/Lightning Attack, Righteous Fury, and we're not using Weight. As for the ship armor stuff, it's a set of rules people call Mathhammer. -12 armor across the board on ships, but make the armor count for every hit. It's meant to make macrobatteries a little less ridiculously powerful. Lances get Tearing, Broadsides divide their Strength in half but get Storm, and Torpedos do 12 less damage, as well. Q: I hear you made a random table? A: When I finish it (and I'm pretty close,) I'll throw it up for anyone to use. Q: Where's those ocean navy ship rules at dogg? A: They're right over here. mdct fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Sep 23, 2016 |

I figured out what was up - when you download from Tindeck, the filename uses what you named the Tindeck track. Filenames can't have % symbols in them, so replacing it with the word "percent" fixed it. Should be good now.

 Session 10      And with this, the lost audio for Eclipse Phase Session 10 is finally available to listen! Fair warning: the audio quality is kind of rear end. It's full of fan noise, Golden static, the audio itself is compressed because this was back during the RaidCall days. There was extremely little I could do about it; there were no longer stretches of consistent white noise for me to clean up, just inconsistent bips and boops of it. Regardless, make sure to finish your sugar potato. mdct fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Jul 8, 2016 |

Session 4 Twitch Archive So the audio for this one has a bit of an echo going on; I'm still going to trim it best I can and upload it as individual episodes as well, but this session might be best listened to through the twitch archive anyway. Should've put this up yesterday. Edit: To clarify, I'm going to put up all of the tindeck episodes all at once on like Wednesday or Thursday. mdct fucked around with this message at 00:42 on Jul 11, 2016 |
