It's time to defeat the Karma Chameleon! The Trendsetters go undercover and infiltrate his home base in the sewers, and see how the sewer mutants live.

The Telltale Hunt: The SoCal Squad Session 89 - The Smell of Wet Smoke
Friday Nov 26, 2021
Friday Nov 26, 2021
The siblings awaken under a ceiling they've not seen in ages, and are given truth that wounds them deeper than any blade. All they are left with is a pile of questions: clocks, walls, pods, and thirds.
It doesn't always shake out this way, but I'm glad this is the kind of line where they've ever seen the way out.

Friday Nov 19, 2021
Friday Nov 19, 2021
We're back with the Trendsetters! Five years after defeating the Captainalist and the Transistor Tyrant, they end up back where their biggest adventure began: The First National Bank of Halcyon.

The sewer mutants finally rise, and their message is clear: It's their turn to rule.

The Telltale Hunt: The SoCal Squad Session 88 - Destiny‘s Fulcrum
Friday Nov 12, 2021
Friday Nov 12, 2021
And now, finally, they've cleared the way. And now, finally, they can begin their work in earnest. Atop a mountain of broken hearts and burned corpses, swords are drawn, knives are out, feet are planted.
I always have such mixed feelings about this part. On the one hand, it's so thrilling! On the other... well, you'll see.

Trendsetters Issue 44 - Rested Indulgences
Friday Nov 05, 2021
Friday Nov 05, 2021
Five years is a long time to just drop off the face of the Earth, so we do you a favor and do a bit of a montage of things that happen during then! Lots of big things happen. A change in leadership. A change in friendship. A change in... name. That's right, #Trending are now officially the Trendsetters, Better Than Ethan are now officially the Riot Wreckers, and everybody in the city is a bit more happy that two groups of superteens grew up a bit. On top of everything else, the city finds a new shining idol in Zero, grows to change what heroes and villains could be thanks to Switch, find a new vlog superstar in Sundog, and wonders where the hell the fourth one went in Poltergeist.

Trendsetters Issue 0-2 - Rules Explanation and Character Building (Again)
Friday Nov 05, 2021
Friday Nov 05, 2021
Ape, Bobbin, Cat, and Chloe roll up familiar characters in this new system. FATE Core is a system developed by the folks at EvilHat (who brought us Monster of the Week as well) which easily slots into any setting or genre and uses a simple system of rolling 4 dice to apply bonuses and penalties to your skills. We go into the rules of the game, as well as things in Halcyon City that change during the big 5 year time jump!

Their numbers dangerously reduced by their mortal foe's first wave of interference, destiny's counter-force grits their teeth and draws against treasured companions and shifted selves. The question of who lives and who dies is never answered easily, and rarely satisfactorily.
The look on her face makes my heart hurt, I hate when it shakes out this way.

Vampire the Masquerade: A Pain That I‘m Used To Session 7 Bonus

I made a mistake in forgetting that a player had activated an ability. But hey, at least when they pointed it out, I took back the action.

This is it. The Fennec has been found and now the Coetrie is going to deal with their new personal foe for good. They have supernatural powers, but he has training. They have incredible strength and reflexes, but he has an arsenal of weapons. They have a plan, but he has the homefield advantage. Who will win, and will they be the same coming out as they did going in?
CONTENT WARNING: We are playing Vampire: The Masquerade. VtM only half-romanticizes vampires, and a large portion of the game is about exploring just how much of a monster you're willing to become. Since this game deals with heavier issues than most games we tend to play on this podcast, I am issuing content warning for the following subjects: Blood, violence, body horror, abuse of all forms, issues of consent, torture If you feel uncomfortable to listening to any of these subjects, please tread lightly, and we won't blame you for skipping this campaign if you do.

The first ring of true battle erupts in the cemetary fault, and first blood is spilled. And second, and third, and twenty seventh. Two hundred and eighty and one hundred and fourty and twelve meet their ends before swords are first uncrossed. Sixteen and one and two remain to contend with three and two and One, and None have yet bled needfully.
This part always makes me nervous, no matter how many times I watch it. But I believe in them. Do you?
