Good news, bad news | A Tale from the Borderlands
And then there was you. Not sure what the point of recording this one is. Not after what Lydia just sent me. You haven’t sent a message back in two years, and it doesn’t look like that’s about to start now. Still, somehow putting these words out there means something.…

Terror of the Skies | A Tale from the Borderlands
Good ol’ reliable rock. The metal boys seemed to be coming out of every corner as they bashed their way over that pile of bodies. Pushing us back against the wall, not giving us any room to move. Fin was trapped on the other side, good luck to him, but…

Bunkers & Badasses – MAYHEM!
Yet another Bunkers & Badasses article! Today I’m going to look at Mayhem. Think of Mayhem like a currency that helps the Bunker Master make things more interesting. As you play through the game the players are changing out weapons, handing stuff off, doing extra actions, failing their badass moves…

You have something on your face | A Tale from the Borderlands
It’s time to get that key. Things were just starting to go well, too. First, Min vanished. Then, the next thing I know, Fin is hitting the deck and blowing holes in the ceiling. It got real there for a moment. I heard balloon boy shouting from somewhere above us…

Bunkers & Badasses – Badass Tokens
In this next look at the Bunkers & Badasses TTRPG by Nerdvana games, I want to take a quick look at the cost of doing Badass Moves. In the last article I covered the Badass Move, but not much about those Badass Tokens, or what it will cost to keep…

And the award goes to… | A Tale from the Borderlands
I’m sure this is not going to completely backfire on us. I wasn’t wrong about the greeting party at the next stop. Turns out we arrived on some sort of bridge with an absolute enormity of a ship captain in charge. We thought quick and used those armor disguises as best…

An elevator not to be trusted | A Tale from the Borderlands
Just another day of invading an airship… Sorry about that last log, we landed hot on an airship and things were… shaky. I never thought a ship like that would have such defenses. I had advised folks to come on the ship from behind, avoid the common defenses. We were…

Bunkers & Badasses – Badass Moves
Going to take a look again at some more Bunkers and Badasses stuff today. I want to look at something that’s pretty central to the whole thing which is: the Badass Move! The Badass Move is pretty unique in this system. It is basically there to make you do something…

Riding the clouds! | A Tale from the Borderlands
Just another day of meeting Queens and riding dragons, right? That was not what I was expecting! Just got out of meeting a queen that’s a horse, or unicorn, or some sort of crystal being, or … something? Queen Butt Stallion was regal enough, not every day you meet royalty.…

Bunkers & Badasses – What exactly is it?
Alrighty why don’t we dig into what exactly is this “Bunkers and Badasses” If you’re familiar with Borderlands, the video game, this kind of artwork it’s going to look familiar to you. Borderlands is a lot about guns and shooting things. Bunkers & Badasses is a lot about guns and…

Time for some new threads | A Tale from the Borderlands
Jax’s ECHO Log entry #4: Apparently those Claptraps are good for something. Well, that went surprisingly smoothly. First time anything went as expected, really. I must be getting paranoid because I can’t shake the feeling that means something awful is about to happen. Right before heading back to Brymstone, we tested…

Lava shark? | A Tale from the Borderlands
Jax’s ECHO Log entry #3: I should not have taunted the knife-wielders. Okay. Time to breathe. Turns out that maybe I should have been a wee bit more careful with that door! They nearly got me that time, it was a damn close call. A bunch of robe-wearing, knife-wielding, vindictive cultists decided…

Fire in the hole! | A Tale from the Borderlands
Jax’s ECHO Log entry #2: They brought a knife to a gunfight. We used one of those awful teleportation gadgets today and found ourselves at some sort of mining facility. I almost didn’t make this log because we were so busy, but the others are arguing over whether to open a…

Brymstone is pretty terrible | A Tale from the Borderlands
Jax’s ECHO Log entry #1: Not dead yet. Well, Penny, today was a pretty humiliating day. Luckily, I met some halfway-skilled Vault Hunters that kept my suit from getting too crumpled. The transport dropped us in some tiny village that smells like dead bodies, body odour, and butts. Somehow it…

Leaving Lynchwood | A Tale from the Borderlands
It’s been a lot of years since I last sat down and played some Table Top roleplaying (TTRPG for those who like their acronyms). This past year, a happenstance allowed me to make some new friends online and join a virtual table playing Bunkers & Badasses, a new TTRPG system…
