Party First: Twilight War<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fing it on Drivethru<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The sun sets slowly on the horizon as fingers of ruddy light compete to turn the sky various shades of red. Dimly, it illuminates the world that you know, changed and shrouded by lengthening shadows. The line between what was safe and what was not, between the real and the unreal begins to fade away, even as you watch. Such is THE TWILIGHT WORLD….<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be forewarned: there are few happy endings in Party First.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Party First, a group of players take on the roles of individuals living within the nation of the USRA in THE TWILIGHT WORLD set during the year 1985. THE TWILIGHT WORLD is similar to our own in some ways, but dramatically different in others. You may see some aspects that you recognize, and in most cases, it is by design. Other aspects will be more emphasized, dramatized, or horrific than the world you are familiar with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest difference you will see is that of the horrors of THE TWILIGHT WORLD. Monsters are real here. They are real, and at best humanity is nothing to them. In the scope of this universe, we are seen as ants. At worst, these monsters actively seek the end of all life in the world. The majority of humans have no idea what sort of horrors wait just outside their narrow scope of the world, and even the player characters themselves may only have the smallest inkling of the truth – at the start. As a story progresses the players will come face to face with the horrific truth and either overcome or, more likely, be mercilessly killed or driven mad by their newfound knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Party First: Twilight War takes the premise of the core Party First book in a new direction with focus on the world spanning cold war which has ground to a wary d\u00e9tente. While the public hopes that tensions between the East and West have cooled, those in the upper echelons know that it has merely shifted into that grey twilight between the known and unknown. Shadow actors and intelligence agents recruit, inform, sabotage and anything else they must do to ensure their side emerges victorious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decomissioned Disavowed Counteragent Red Herring Blues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Find it on Drivethru<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

An intercepted Betamax cassette has proof of a governmental psychic soldier training program called Project Morning Star. Is it real or an elaborate subterfuge to crack the very foundation of the Party? Only the players can uncover the authenticity by infiltrating the heart of Rus’s military complex, The Citadel. They will unravel deeper mysteries and evade assassins all while staying one step ahead of the feared Central State Security.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explore the Twilight World of the Party First RPG in this exciting new adventure. Decommisioned Disavowed Counteragent Red Herring Blues builds on the groundwork of the Party First core rules and 2022’s Twilight War sourcebook and blends them into a fast paced, 80s gritty game espionage and counteragents. Even better, it’s the second in a trilogy of stand-alone adventures which can also connect to tell the entire story of Project Morning Star if your players wish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Criminals from around the globe are clocking to the resort hoping to be the highest bidder. In response, the Ministry has gathered a team to send undercover posing as interested buyers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read It and Weep<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\n

Feed the Trees: An Adventure for Death Putt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Find it on Itch.io<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Every once and awhile a truly novel idea comes along. That’s what I found in a recent game jam called System Fictional<\/a>. The goal is to create something that is bound by the rules of a game that does not exist. It gives you free license to make exactly the type of setting, adventure, or whatever that you want to see in the world. I’ve always wanted to make a wrestling game but after a lot research there is quite a few that are available. So, I went with my second favorite hobby of frisbee golf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A chill wind pushes through the twisted orchard as bone white thorns thirst in the underbrush yearning for their yearly offerings. The thicket crowds a lonely metallic structure in an opening. Autumn leaves create a makeshift diaz for the creaking chains. A gothic emblazoned number eighteen is carved into the silvery band. The final frisbee disc golf basket for the inaugural Holle in One tournament.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feed the Trees is an expression of what kind of adventure I would want to play. Scooby Doo type mystery crossed with frisbee golf simulation. Your character grows in skill to advance their way through sports tournaments, complete with a robust Rivalry System. Meanwhile you travel town to town exploring a world full of cultists, weird lore, and mystical prophecies. Free to peruse and if enough folks download it, I’ll put it on the list of games to make!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
