Do Not Steal 04: Fellowship
Manage episode 289559251 series 2908158
This month on Do Not Steal, it's the end of the world!
Our game for Episode 4 is Fellowship by Vel Mini, a Powered By The Apocalypse take on fantasy storytelling about companionship and saving the world. We talk about how the game tries to modify the classic but problematic fantasy race archetypes, its attempts to offer serious nonviolent playstyle options, and how it feels to have the GM create a character of their own, an antagonistic Overlord with mechanics that heavily paralells those of the PCs.
Then, in our second segment, it's the promised apocalypse. In a world where the sun is slowly burning out, a dead hero is resurrected for one last battle against a former friend, an angel who has forsaken its duty to stop what's coming. Get ready for phrases like "the most horrible empathy" and cooking show segments that turn into huge bummers. It's exactly the kind of melodrama we made this podcast for.
