Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. I think it is time to check the old list of Things Going Very Wrong for the Red Wires: Fire Spirit materialized in the Treehouse? Check. Enemy gang pressing against the Treehouses defenses? Double Check. A pair of rockets flying through the air that we all conveniently forgot about? O…

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. There are fire spirits in the Treehouse, there are rockets in the air. Red Wire snipers take aim on any Spiders that dare... ...dare to continue the attack, that is. Let's rejoin the battle that could mean the destruction of the Red Wires gang. It’s time to begin Episode 97, “It's bec…

The Spiders are advancing toward the Treehouse. How many will make it through the hellscape that is Improv's minefield and snipers? How many of those will fall to Juliet's grenadiers, Kennel's massive Troll machine gunners, or Horatio's Red Wires? But maybe instead we should be wondering why it is suddenly so hot in the Treehouse... It’s time to be…

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. It begins.

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. So what do you get when you allow Juliet to get within throwing distance of a clustered group of Spiders? When you have several grenades taped together the answer is pretty obvious. What might not be obvious, though, is which skill you would use to fire an ancient ballista. It’s time …

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. Remember that awesome plan to jury-rig a trideo set to project an image inside a Gopher so that it looks like the gang is trying to escape but it’s really just a clever ploy so that the Spiders aren’t prepared for an actual attack? Well yeah, if doesn’t work. It’s time to begin Episod…

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. Sometimes asking for help is a good thing. It’s hard to swallow your pride in the Barrens because being hard is what keeps you alive. Sometimes, though, it’s good to let others do the heavy lifting, or digging in this case, for you. A tunnel led to a familiar bunker, one stocked month…

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. So there we were! Gang war in full swing, the Treehouse surrounded by our rivals, the Spiders, and what is the group decision? Does Improv detonate every bomb in the compound? Maybe. Does Juliet embrace the murderhobo inside and strangle every bad guy with her bare hands? I mean, that…

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. Closer and closer they get to their beloved Treehouse. Juliet, however, decides to take a more roundabout way that involves duct tape and frag grenades. Improv, Kennel, and Horatio finish cleaning human spine off of the big Troll’s boots before deciding to go for a little drive. It’s …

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. Where is Juliet? Perhaps more importantly why is there a sudden explosion with a dwarf-sized person scampering away? I guess the rest of the Red Wires will just have to murder a guy before they figure out their next move. It’s time to begin Episode 89, “I’m not opposed to it, that’s j…

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. So there we were! We see that the Treehouse is surrounded so we decide to play it safe, right?

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. What would you do if you came back to the home you fought tusk and nail to build only to find it surrounded by the enemy? Maybe you would call it a loss and leave, maybe you would even try to negotiate. But if you’re the Red Wires of course you would ask, “Can I jump the truck into th…

Podcast Update Everything comes to an end eventually. I think I’ve said those very words to you before now but they bear repeating. This campaign has been the most… the most everything to me. The most fun, the most gratifying, the most… yeah, the most. There is still plenty of audio waiting to hit the editing desk so we have a little while longer b…

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. Oh man. Who would have thought that getting into a life-or-death brawl with the Crimson Crush could be so dangerous! Dangerous, and weird. I mean, Juliet almost gets hit with an axe and all she got was... a date with a Troll? Leave it to her to get a commcode while the rest of the gan…

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. What happens when you walk into a parlay with one of the most dangerous gangs in the Sprawl?

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. They’ve made it back to the Treehouse. The heist at the Hollywood chip factory was a success and the spoils of war are being divided.

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. We’ve seen the Red Wires use a Toyota Gopher to rip an Ork in half. We watched as the Matrix was turned into a cruel assassin leaving a poor Rigger alone and dying of a brain hemorrhage. Machine guns turned men into meat and viscera while a literal hound of hell burned their bones int…

The camera pans to the open vastness of space, nothing as far as the eye can see save for the inky blackness of the void. Then a flash of blue phosphorescent light shatters the silent gloom of the void and an oval-shaped planetoid about the size of Earth’s moon, plus or minus a hundred kilometers, appears in frame. Crackling rays of drift energy ca…

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. The plan is clarified, things are hacked, other things are shot, maybe someone gets set on fire I DON’T KNOW!

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. When you hear a line such as, “Clockwerk loves them!” you know that Improv is about to do some horrible things.

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. Where is Juliet? Was she murdered in her sleep by the very people in her own gang? Or was it something even more nefarious!

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. Where were we? Was it, perhaps, scouting out a factory filled with skillwired workers that might prove susceptible to an unscrupulous hacker’s digital sabotage? Given that Improv’s Player has finally returned from Planet X to create more crop circles we briefly fill him in on some of …

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Shadowrun Podcast update. I’m sitting here in my apartment in Medellin, Colombia with my wife and kiddos in the next room and I’m surrounded by half-backed bags and boxes. You see, we decided it was time to head back to the United States and be closer with our American family. Parents, cousins, ne…

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. Improv’s absence is sorely apparent as the other three Runners attempt to come up with a plan.

Are you ready for the hardest GobMetal band to ever breach the California Free State’s borders? Prepare yourself for the metal heads that Knight Errant, Lonestar, and all the Corporations in Seattle’s Puyallup Barrens couldn’t hold down. They’ve opened for Darwin’s Bastards. They’ve opened for Tusk and Agony! And this Saturday they begin the Califo…

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. Sometimes the conversations that happen off-screen can be a lot of fun.

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. The Team gathers in the common room to hear some details about what their three rescued people endured in the underground lab.

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. Knight Errant? Defeated. Spiders? Exploded. Biodrones? Murdered. Now who is this guy behind the door standing beside three bodies? Three bodies that our Runners might find to be very valuable but perhaps not in the way you think. Besides, when was the last time someone other than Impr…

So what I read you is the description you can find on the Extra Life organization’s website but what does it mean? It means you come over to Twitch and listen to us play some Shadowrun. You get a whole week of this stuff, a whole week of hearing how we play Shadowrun on the various Living Communities that can be found on Reddit. I’ve played in a fe…

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. Will teamwork, in fact, make the dream work?

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. A secret door leading further underground?

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. Where were we? Oh yes, we blew up half of the Barrens, released drugged-up gangers into a compound with orders to destroy everything, set some cockatrices free, told a paranoid murderhobo to have fun, and Dukes of Hazard’d a Gopher into what used to be a building. Now what could we ha…
