One-shot and family gaming podcasts.
Palacine’s Jamie is out of town, so we can’t play Masks. Instead Kaylee, Ember-Jamie, and I blast through a one-shot session of Psi-Run, by Meguey Baker. It delivers.

Our first session!
Serran faces down Kreider and takes January’s shiny new gun back to Grand Central with her.
Kreider is not happy. Buck tells Kai there will be repercussions from Kreider… then he tells everyone else in the settlement and gets them all riled up.
Guthrie gets a Visitor, catches up on Family Gossip, and gives Serran some (slightly insulting) advice (and maybe some useful help).

The team is in Belize. Ember melts Belize. Palacine snakes one of her palace guards out of a crater. Silhouette bleeds to protect the team. Repeatedly. Also she’s really bad at comfort & support.

Kim, Kate, Amanda, and I get together to build an Apocalypse
We’re using the new Burned Over playbooks that Vincent’s releasing for “PG13 Apocalypse World.
(I don’t care about the rating, I DO care that the moves and playbooks feel more elegant and match much better what I’m looking for out of our relationship with the Maelstrom.)
All the other players are new to pbta-games. I’m new to AW itself.
Three women, playing three women, and no one picked the Lawgiver/Hardholder, so Imma put a real asshole in charge of the settlement and see if we can’t get a little Patriarchy Smashing Revenge Fantasy going…
I’m excited.

Everyone deals with some aftermath from Alias’s attack on the P.E. class. Some handle it better than others.
Ember talks with her brother, gets frustrated, takes an unauthorized skip-day with her chem-lab partner, who has… real chemistry.
Silhouette and her mentor are not getting on. With anyone, or each other.
Palacine is making friends with AEGIS, who thinks she’s just swell, and has a request for her…

The team deals with the most horrible of school challenges – a Tuesday morning after a bad Monday.
Ember’s mom hates all supers, Palacine is being asked to explain human behavior, and Silhouette may have just told Jack Monday she’s copying his breakfast preferences.
Oh, and Alias tries to kill them during gym class or something. Whatever.

The team deals with teacher-pressure, social pressure, and a team-building exercise that goes sideways.
Everyone – especially Sil – had a rough time this session (except for Ember’s dice which were… hot), but they soldiered through, we had a good talk frustrating stuff, doubled down on the good stuff, and got a really nice reveal at the end that had everyone feeling a LOT better about everything, and SUPER excited about next session.

Our first session with Kaylee and her friends as Silhouette, Ember, and Palacine. The team fights Voltaic, recovers in the Phoenix Academy infirmary, and finds their new base.
My favorite bits:
* Ember rising up above the crowd and denying their Influence, blasting Voltaic and revoking Influence from the whole Phoenix Academy student body.
* The choices everyone made when they took powerful blows.
* The nest of team moves and Comfort/Supports in the school infirmary.
* Kaylee’s face when she figured out what the key from her Mentor was probably for.

In which our players create their heroes.
PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT a great recording – we were in a very active coffee/game shop throughout, and I basically only recorded it so I’d have something to refer back to later, but if you’re interested, here it is.
