Tabletop one-shot writeups, long and less long overdue!

I'm about a year in the red on one of these and under 24 hours distant from the other. I played both with my partner, uskglass, over video call.

The first was ECH0, a GM-less storygame by Role Over Play Dead first introduced to me by Friends at the Table, in a worldbuilding episode for their third sci-fi/mecha campaign, Partizan.

( ECH0 )

The second, "Debrief," by Paracelsus Games, is a LARP that requires players to go in unspoiled, the better to play characters working from limited information to achieve competing goals. If you're interested, it's available online for free here. I think the website description is pretty complete; it's spy noir with a side of urban fantasy, relationship-driven, and a hell of a lot of emotionally harrowing fun if that's your cup of tea, as it is mine.

( Debrief, with spoilers )
