Bone Throwers Theater

By Bone Throwers Theater

Welcome to Bone Throwers Theater! We are a RPG actual play podcast. We play both long-term campaigns and one-shot sessions.

Our current main campaign is called Elements of War. It uses the OpenD6 Adventure System from West End Games. It is set in a world built using the game, Microscope. The characters are a citizens of a police state and choose to battle the tensions of various "revolutionary" factions.

Join us every Monday for new episodes of Elements of War. On Thursdays, look out for one-shot episodes from a variety of systems such as Fiasco, Inspectres, Cosmic Patrol, and more!

BTT One-Shot: The Skeletons, Ep. 3

We have entered The Time of Dust, the next phase of the game. Two more intruders to kill or chase off, and they are pretty horrific ones. We also get several glimpses into the lives of the skeletons before they were charged to guard this tomb, and it's becoming clear that their stories are equally tragic.

We explore a few different locations in this episode with varying results. We get accustomed to the rule set as we create some rumors, legends, and even some questions that unfortunately will not get answered in THIS game. However, there are a couple threads that are weaving their way into the fabric of this world that we're sure will bring some interesting texture to our upcoming campaign.

Phase one of the game, the "unsealed tomb". Two intruders, thwarted, and several secrets of the skeletons' past are revealed... but at a cost. Time passes, but the guardians still stand watch, for now. So far we are loving the collaborative storytelling in this game.

We reflect on some of our collaborative story-telling choices from past campaigns, and FINALLY decide on and reveal the name of the upcoming campaign. Listen and find out.

Aaron shares that there is a lot of flexibility in the game in general, and we conclude that this game would be great for both young and old, and first-time and experienced RPGers. So Good Strong Hands... good strong game.

One more quick round of play for this initial world build. Jeremy takes a turn as the lens, and Jordan closes it out as the legacy. With that combination, our timeline ended up with a "dark" era... or period. We can't decide which term to use. But on thing that we ARE certain of this that we love this world we are creating so far. We hope you will too.

Aaron's in the GM seat again for this one, and he admits that has tweaked the story in advance to prepare for our normal plot hijacking hijinks. In this first episode of the fantasy game, we introduce our unique characters and set out on an "adventure". But to one character, an "adventure" is something completely different. Either way, this party definitely will be the daisy in a field of roses.

This will be our third world we've built for our campaigns using this game, Microscope. Needless to say we really enjoy this method.

Just as they start to make some head-way, gaining vital info and an objective, one character makes a poor choice and things are bound to get ugly. To be fair, this player did say they were doing to mess things up in the previous episode.

BTT EoW 4.93: Dead Man's Switch

Desperate times, desperate measures, that's about the only way to sum up the group's solution for the current dilemma. And as if things aren't bad enough already, a new Council member drops in unexpectedly. A couple characters spring into action with some quick-witted and unexpected counters of their own, but they trigger a dire consequence for one character in particular.

BTT One-Shot: Parsely, Ep. 2

We start off on our 2nd life for this adventure, after a player couldn't resist doing something just to see what would happen. Also, this time around seems to be a bit more of a puzzle that takes a little bit of trial and error to solve. But honestly, who hasn't spent hours playing a game, wandering across the map, and missing the one bit of crucial equipment?

BTT EoW 4.92: Outside The Box Tech

Things start heating up in this episode, literally, with a Dead-drop recon mission, and a bunch of little Kaiju (nicknamed Kaijlettes) that just won't drop-dead as they are told to. But at least a couple characters may get some new tech gadgets out of it... if they survive.

Here's a different kind of role playing game from a familiar game designer, Jared A. Sorenson. This game plays like an old style, text-based computer game, so the cast will have to work together to beat the story before they run out of lives, or chances to save the game. And of course, it wouldn't be Bone Throwers Theater if some of the choices made weren't thought all the way through. This is going to be a fun one!

A Kaiju in the city, a cryptic radio message, and a decision to split the party; those are the ingredients for what we hope is a recipe for success. And Jeremy even attempts an interesting negotiation strategy with Jordan to steer the narrative in that direction. But who are we kidding. We know full-well how these things turn out.
