Corpses & Curios: Season 2: Availia

"Destiny has two ways of crushing us - by refusing our wishes and by fulfilling them." - - Henri Frederic Amiel, Swiss Philosopher Thank you for visiting! Salutations! Welcome to our little shop. Pour yourself a glass of your favorite libation, tune out the rest of the world, and allow us to entertain you. For Season 2: Availia we are a supernatural campaign of drama, debts owed, and life-altering decisions. Our setting is a dystopian world, still recovering from a war between humans and the supernatural which almost destroyed everything. An uneasy peace between everyone is overseen by a city council made up of humans and supernatural beings vying for control of a council of twelve. Utilizing the Urban Shadows system by Mark Diaz Truman and Andrew Medeiros, published by Magpie Games, we bring you this actual play podcast featuring Season 1’s very own Artemis (Kim) taking over GM duties. We are an adult campaign, and sometimes we find ourselves dealing with sensitive subject matter. We always try to present such material as vital to plot, and never for the simple purpose of attempting to be “edgy.” Some characters have experienced past trauma which comes into play. We do our best to offer "trigger warnings" to those who may be sensitive to certain presentations and representations of events. Our primary focus is on story and character development. A lot of the mechanics and rules lookups are handled "off camera." So, for the purists, we offer my sincere apologies in advance. Welcome to our little shop. Pour yourself a glass of your favorite libation, tune out the rest of the world, and allow us to entertain you.
