About this episode

The episode discusses a role-playing adventure involving a theft recovery mission in a fantasy setting.

* Vivane Adventures: Chasing the Snakeskin Boots * Lower Circle Characters * Written By Carl Sargent * Lots of background action * Feels "Shadowrunny" * Act 1: Group hired to recover stolen property * Original owner (Daragast), current owner (Shand), Barsaivian thief * High pay for what seems to be a simple job, but urgent * Best for a group that doesn't have a problem working for Therans * Act 2: Track the thief through the Broken Quarter * Different avenues of investigation * Low risk; no real danger of violence * Act 3: Into the undercity * Multiple possible encounters that don't relate to the group's goal * Resistance meeting, triplicant ambush * Find the (dead) thief, all but one coin taken * Act 4: Recover the coins * Beastmaster who killed the thief * Complications: Agents of the original owner, Resistance members * Possible consequences and fallout that can establish relationships and low-grade enemies * Not especially heavy on "plot" * GM needs to be flexible and willing to roll with character choices * Strong feeling in the climax of "What *now*?" * Final verdict and summary Find and Follow: Email: edsgpodcast@gmail.com YouTube…
