1dZ-01: Arkyvrs - A Mansion Most Vile - Ep1

“Ignite the fire within and explore unknown territory.” - Werner Herzog.

Welcome to the pilot episode of 1dZero (1d0, geddit?) an actual play podcast. We are playing MOTHERSHIP, the sci-fi horror, using the toolkit ARKYVR (for playing documentarian PCs) , and starting scenario A MANSION MOST VILE. Stick around for our breakdown of how TOMBS applies so-far.

The crew of the “Snortin’ Betsy” consists of:

• Zari Topaz, the glamorous face of the operation — played by Mel.

• Winston, the egotistical and cynical photojournalist — played by Chas.

• Cal, the scrappy scrounger and sound recordist — played by Kim; and

• Tarsos, the steadfast producer and union man — played by Luke.

Stu will be your “Warden Herzog” for the game.
