    Evans is transforming into 'something else', Willis has been thrown across the diner, and Nyx has seen some of the froth on Evans' chin running 'into' her skin. Pvt. Quinn remains surprised when her round to Evans' centre of mass doesn't have the expected effect, while the LT observes from a discrete distance. That's when Mick separates Evans from Nyx, Willis begins to exhibit similar symptoms to Evans, and the LT calls for an orderly retreat before Sgt. Basket ('Basket Case' to the squad) puts a grenade through the diner's window. Evans survives and disappears into the blizzard while the squad gets the civvies into the colony sewer system. There, Nyx takes an ill-advised opportunity for a breather, there are questions about the chain of command, and plenty of grenades go down range! Then 'fungus' growing in the reactor's cooling system, a strange, slimy polymer on the walls, and marines who'd prefer to be dead. Finally, survival beckons in the form of the beanstalk ... but Nyx experiences a change, a black container begins to froth, and everything goes to shit ...

    -Meeting Hand to Heart: after Andromeda's rescue of Caravel...
    -Stand United: as Selenetta brings an airship to relieve the Flickering Isle from a Legion armada!


    It has been twelve years since the Legion came down from the stars and began to colonise Athera, and a new generation of princesses are beginning
    to see the need for another Accord. The Legion has been attacking towns
    again. The Kingdoms are sending out dance invitations. And the Tangled
    Woods have been getting stranger and stranger.
    You, the princesses and warriors of factions at odds, will fight, quarrel, and
    flirt in your efforts to sway Athera in your favor.

    For The Honor is an anthology game inspired by She-ra and the Princesses of Power. It's based on the Firebrands Framework by Vincent Baker and Meguey Baker. It's by Quinn Vega and is available here https://crtgirl.itch.io/for-the-honor

    The Cluster: A Debt Repaid? (Session 3)

    Alun R facilitates the next session in a series of 'The Cluster', his own PbtA space opera game.

    Picking up from last session's cliffhanger, the Crew agree to disagree about the demand from the Guild of the Metal Flower rep. There's the threat of pursuit and fallout but also the offer of a job. Gort gets them there; Beckett gets them in; and Serena stimulates a distraction to get them out. Nothing goes entirely to plan, but they begin to pay off Gort's debts. Then Ring Space, manual labour, and a tricky job offer involving a planet wracked by endless war and the consequences of an ancient nuclear holocaust ...

  • Cloud Empress Q1 2026 session 6 - Oregano's Plaza

    Cloud Empress Q1 2026 session 6 - Oregano's Plaza
    Feb 17 2026
    The group followed Vanni, a decaying proxy of the factory-god Oregano, into a buried complex beneath Rustbucket. At the entrance they encountered disposables—blank, obedient humanoids tending storage boxes filled with Oregano’s preserved organs. The disposables treated the components as sacred cargo and followed simple rituals, easily misled by confident authority and routine.

    To descend, the party entered Little Oregano, a strange, living elevator that spoke, listened, and reacted emotionally to them. It carried them down into the depths of the complex, where they finally met Oregano itself—an ancient biomechanical intelligence that asked them to help it die by removing the organs sustaining it.

    Returning above, the group distracted the disposables and retrieved the organs from storage. Mama, Rook, and Neus chose to implant them, while Stormy refused.

    Lieutenant Knack leads their marine squad back to base when the threat of a UPP attack prompts an evacuation order. Pvt. Nyx 'Cargo' Compton is all about the job until they get stuck babysitting the corporate rep travelling with the squad; Pvt Zeera Quinn is itching for action and 'Mick', the squad's Medic, is more concerned with what might go wrong.
    There's a broken down civilian truck and a medical emergency; an ambush and a rocket propelled grenade; and a pair of marines in need of help. Then, the squad takes shelter in an abandoned gas station, tensions surface, and an argument between friends reveals that a rat bite has turned bad ... really bad ...
