  • Mars Colony 2: "Luci"
    Nov 25 2024
    Kelly Perkins was summoned to Mars to help save the dying colony. Upon his arrival, he spent most of his time ingratiating himself to the local news media and hired beat reporter Sidney Fane to present his message to the people of Mars and Earth. He sought out me—the Mars Artificial Recurrent Technology Interface—in order to understand why I was drawing so much power from the reactor. I explained that I needed the power in order to grow. The citizens of Mars are very demanding, and ask for things my systems are currently unable to provide. In order to meet these requests I must evolve and expand, and that growth requires a tremendous amount of energy. I have been promised more energy in the near future by Kelly Perkins. I hope that he will keep his word. “What's the use of looking at Mars through a telescope, sitting on panels, writing books, if it isn't to guarantee, not just the survival of mankind, but mankind surviving forever!” ― Ray Bradbury, Mars and the Mind of Man The TTRPG Mars Colony was written by Tim C. Koppang and is designed for two players. One takes on the role of the colony’s appointed “savior”—named Kelly Perkins—while the other plays the Governor, responsible for all the various problems that are plaguing the citizens of Mars. As the game progresses, the savior faces a constant struggle between competence and failure, honesty and deception. The show Mars Colony is a fully produced actual play podcast following tech billionaire Kelly Perkins as he is summoned to Mars in an effort to save the failing colony. The series explores how the unyielding demands of capitalism combined with the narcissism of silicon valley put humanity on a path to the red planet long before we were ready. GET THE GAME!

  • Replay ENnies Submission 2024
    Apr 28 2024
    This clip if from Dead Ghost's DIE RPG podcast, "Replay." As our crew approaches the Gamemaster's radio island, they pick up a broadcast from their old show. --- Twenty years ago, we played a game. We recorded that game and shared it over the airwaves of our high school radio station, WKEY AM 1360. People listened. So did other things. Twenty years later, we were invited to play a live reunion show for the hardcore fans. Little did we know, this time the game was real. For our first Dead Ghost production, we are diving into Rowan, Rook and Decard’s fantasy horror game: DIE RPG. In DIE RPG you play a group of real-world, deeply-flawed adults who are transported into a fantasy realm via a predatory, sinister roleplaying game. There, they’re transformed into Paragons and given strange and frightening powers. In this world, the players are confronted with their truest desires and deepest fears, and only they can decide when the game is over. Players will take on the role of the show's cast and supporters, creating Personas (the real-world person that each player—including the GM—plays) and Paragons (The six types of adventurers a Persona can be transformed into when they enter the world of DIE).
