Signals from Celaeno-The Legacy of Arrius Lurco Live Play

Gladius · Post by **Gladius** » Wed Nov 28, 2012 2:33 am

This is a bit of a cross-post as I also posted this on the YSDC forums. I hope that's OK.

I've created a podcast of my 'Keepering' of the Cthulhu Invictus campaign "The Legacy of Arrius Lurco." This is my first stab at recording an audio game, so please excuse any issues with the production quality.

You can subscribe via iTunes or directly via the RSS feed here: http://www.gladius-games.com/podcast/index.asp

You'll note that we start a bit In Medias Res - several sessions into the campaign. I have three sessions (about 8 hours of gameplay, split into ~1.5 hour MP3s) recorded that will be online shortly, and new episodes will be announced here as they become available.

More background on the characters can be found here: http://keepergladius.livejournal.com/9402.html

Let me know what you think!

Unfortunately, the recording of this episode was corrupted when I formatted the SD card on my phone (which I use to record - surprisingly high quality). I was able to recover the file, but lost the last 30 minutes or so of the session. In two weeks we'll recap, however, since two of my players were absent from this session.

Rome: 52 AD
Wherein the characters are rudely interrupted while they study in a library; attend an Imperial ceremony; and finally put a plan into motion (after much discussion).
This episode contains a lot of OOC chatter and metagaming. Not my favorite way to run a game, but I was sick and it was a few days before Christmas, I think we were all a bit tired. They do finally accomplish something, in the end.

Credits:
Kim as Skatha, a Welsh "hostage" (secondary: Herminia, an apothecary)
Kaaren as Praecia, a courtesan (secondary: Sartoria, a street tough)
Brandon as Nautius Milo, a caravaneer (secondary: Har'T'Atef, an Egyptian surgeon)
Bill as Asher, an ex-gladiator (secondary: Abraham, a moneylender)
Turing as Corvus, an ex-legionaire-cum-Questor (secondary: Lukhon, a greek mathematician)

Rome: 52 AD
In the midst of a single night of bloodshed, the motley band completes their assault on the Cult of Eihort in Rome. What appears to be a simple murder (some would say, assassination) turns into something more grotesque indeed.

Cast:
Kim as Skatha, a Welsh "hostage" (secondary: Herminia, an apothecary)
Kaaren as Praecia, a courtesan (secondary: Sartoria, a street tough)
Brandon as Nautius Milo, a caravaneer (secondary: Har'T'Atef, an Egyptian surgeon)

Delphi: 52 AD
The players reach Delphi, and and go on a short diversion in order to acquire an audience with the Pythia. On the slopes of Mt. Parnassus, they cross paths with something much older than Rome itself.

This is a short diversion from the Lurco campaign, as one of the players was absent and I wanted to playtest a short scenario that I had written. The players surprised me quite a bit with their reactions, and I enjoyed running this short tale.
