T3:E1 Tales from the Asphalt

GET YOUR MOTOR RUNNING

Hello friends and neighbors!  As the weather changes and the nights get longer, it’s time to hit the road.  ANTHONY BARROWS, rake and general schemer, is getting hitched.  The fantabulous CAPULIN MONTANA COLLECTIVE Family is welcoming young Anthony into their fold with pomp and circumstance fitting a major crime syndicate.  Not wanting to be outdone, Barrows has invited ALL OF OASIS as his guests.  There’s no way this could end poorly.

HEAD OUT ON THE HIGHWAY
For mechanics and storytelling, that means we’re LEAVING OASIS (don’t worry, we’ll be back).  The wedding is taking place in LOS PERDIDOS, fabled Last Necropolis of the Drylands.  A massive city of the Living and the Dead, LOS PERDIDOS is a hub of commerce, crime, and danger.  It should be fun, but first we have to get there. 

LOOKING FOR ADVENTURE

This Event will have a different approach.  Online games allow us to do things we can’t do in In-Person games, like tell bigger, badder stories, fight giant monsters, and travel across the Wasteland.  This month, a giant CONVOY is traveling across the Drylands from Oasis to Los Perdidos.  There will be three (3) STOPS along the way, each one with its own ZOMS and stories!

AND WHATEVER COMES OUR WAY

The First stop will be at the EDGE OF WHISPERS, a BAR Office on the edge of the White Sands.  These perilous dunes can reach 60 feet high, and were perilous to travel even before the Fall!  Out in the dunes your own footsteps can betray you, and with no markers to help, it’ll take a canny explorer to keep your bearings! 

Our Second Stop is the MOUNTAIN PASS, a MK Rest Stop high in the mountains of the Drylands.  These forested foothills and canyons hide a landscape you may be unfamiliar with, including all the flora and fauna that has been waiting for you. 

As long as we make it out of the Mountains alive, our THIRD Stop will be at the LAST STOP MOTEL.  This refurbished waystation is run by a friendly family, hoping to help you on your journey and ensure you always remember your visit.  They seem nice.

GONNA MAKE IT HAPPEN

But what does that all mean mechanically?  It means that each STOP will have its own ZOMS and mods, but for a limited time.  We’ll be at each location for a set amount of time, and then we’ll take off and they’ll close out behind us.  The times will be posted for the Stops, and we ask that you make sure all ZOM interactions are done before the Convoy leaves.  You don’t wanna get left behind!

There are also four TRUCKS that the BMC has purchased just for this convoy  These trucks will have their own ZOMS that you can interact with all game!  However, with dangerous ROADWAY RAIDERS hunting the blacktop, they also might need to be protected.  These trucks will also provide a RP space for the duration of the event, so you can always find someone to talk to and make deals with.

It also means that FUEL is gonna be a valuable resource for this event.  TEXAS TEA CANS are a new resource CARD this game, that you will be able to purchase, get as mod rewards, or just find “lying around” (honestly, is it even stealing if no one notices?)  Before leaving each STOP, the trucks will need to be refueled (through ZOM interaction).  Failure to keep them topped up may mean we lose out on those trucks, and that doesn’t sound like it’ll be good for survival.

TAKE THE WORLD

Your Storytelling Team has been hard at work coming up with new and exciting tales to tell you.  It’s October, so I can guarantee there’s going to be some spooky tales told around some campfires this event.  In the next few weeks we’ll talk about new CARDS, MECHANICS, and what to look forward to in the next few months!

Hope to see you out there!

Triada 3: Lost and Found

Is there anything more dangerous than a wedding? 

ANTHONY BARROWS, friend and neighbor to Oasis, is getting married.  He and all his employees, bodyguards, and friends are traveling to the city of LOS PERDIDOS to wed KATHERINE MONTANA CAPULIN, heiress to the CMC (now that some of her siblings are no longer around).  Truly, the union of Barrows and the CMC will be one of peace, love, and goodwill.

BUT… just in case it isn’t, Barrows has invited all of Oasis as his guests.  Travel with him on the dangerous road to LOS PERDIDOS, the City of the Lost.  Meet the people who live there, and those that have died there.  Navigate around the different factions and gangs that run the city, and brave the dangerous NECROPOLIS that sits just below the surface.

Anthony Barrows always has a plan.  Maybe not a good one, but a plan nonetheless.  He wouldn’t have brought everyone here if he didn’t think there would be a reason.  And at the end of the day, he is here to get married, with all the pomp and circumstance that that entails.  

He just needs to live long enough to get to the altar.

WELCOME WASTELANDERS!

You are all invited to join Anthony Barrows, and the rest of Oasis, for our third Triada: Lost & Found. We’ll explore some of the areas (and dangers, of course!) between the little town of Oasis and Los Perdidos.

We’ll get to know some of our NPCs with a little more depth, and see how they, AND YOU, react to the things we encounter along the way, as well as what we find when we get there.

You’ll get access to new CARDS(TM), interact with fresh ZoMs, and learn a bit more about our setting during this arc.

Mark your calendars for our next 3 games, our last 3 for the 2023 season!

Episode One: OCTOBER 20-22

Episode Two: NOVEMBER 24-26

Episode Three: DECEMBER 29-31

Come get lost in the desert with us, Drylanders, for our season’s exciting conclusion!
