Reign - Nagalisitu - Agents of ALIS - Part 34

In this combined two parter, first, Silent Reading has gone... somewhere after messing around in the ruins. He's going to go on a bit of a journey of discovery. In the second part, the rest of the Agents struggle with how to best help Silent, and to get back to Nagalisitu...

This campaign will touch on many themes, including genocide, slavery, racism, specism, harm to children, and mental health issues, among others. Listener discretion is advised.

Agents of ALIS is based on the campaign framework Nagalisitu by Caleb Stokes, for Reign second edition by Greg Stolze. Reign 2E has been released in pdf and is available at Atomic Overmind, while the book with the information on Nagalisitu has not been released as of posting. We are using a Kickstarter backer version of those rules.

Genepals are references from Kyle Carty's Starstreamers from BPB Games.

Adam - GM

Dan - Roscoe Holst - The human pilot of the Hypatia, and descendant of the... legendary? line of Holst, a family that always seems to be near when galactic history changes.

Ethan - Silent Reading - A Murnau spy, perhaps the person most suited to the work of the Library. Whereas his twin brother Cheerful Humming is much more of an open book, Silent Reading keeps to himself, trusting few...

Greg - Kyrt Howling-Echo - A gengineered half-human half-Murnau, he is the former Genepal League champion. Kyrt has "retired" into aiding the Library of Alexandria as a patron. Never without his beloved Genepal Pep Pup, or his second best friend Sol-Edge.

Jared - Captain Kai Uhila - The human captain of the Hypatia. Kai is a bard as is the nature of those who helm the ships that travel the galaxy. A bit of a drunk, a bit of a lech, a bit of a loose cannon, but someone with a strong sense of justice.

Laura - Tema Miles - A humanish logistics & security expert on the Hypatia. She wears her heart on her sleeve, and will rip yours out of your chest if you cross her, the ship, or her young ward Libby.

Trophy Dark - Die, Grave Robber, Die

This playthrough will include body horror, desecration of corpses, (off screen) violence to animals, and mind control. Listener discretion is advised.

In a Victorian-type era, a well regarded person in town has passed away. However, their grave lies empty, robbers have taken their body! Two townsfolk, a professional mourner and a groundskeeper, lead the chase. However, the theft is not the only atrocity that has taken place this day...

Die, Grave Robber, Die! by Michael Van Vleet is an incursion for Trophy Dark, a game of grim horror. Trophy Dark can be found at Trophy's website, with links for PDF and print, and Die, Grave Robber, Die! can be found at Michael's itch.io page.
