1 – Smugglers: Fate Accelerated
It’s our very first episode! I know y’all have been super excited about it! We are!
Joining our co-hosts Senda and Emily are one of the best GMs in the pod-o-sphere Kat Murphy of One Shot & Campaign Podcasts and the pocket dungeon pioneer himself Travis Parker from Golden Griffon Games.
(Not to give anything away, but if you don’t like Team Rocket you may not like the second episode of the game.)
We dive into Fate Accelerated Edition (FAE) with the prompt “sci fi smugglers” and just let the brains of everyone involved take it from there. FAE is made for pick-up games. It’s a slimmed down version of Fate Core focusing on how a character would approach a problem rather than defining what kinds of skills a character would use. It’s definitely a story-first RPG.
The Cast
Senda: Adeline the hot-shot adrenalin junkie pilot
Kat: Lulu the Amazonian-esque warrior with an Etsy weapons store
Travis: Zachary the hacker in deep trouble with the Gambling Guild
Emily: Everyone else including a brief appearance of Gamora

This is super awesome to start out. I love all the Star Wars goofs, especially since I’m just going to be going to see The Force Awakens in a few days. Totally love how absurd the setting has ended up being, and just a wonderful job and wonderful luck in when the players failed rolls and how well that worked.
