In this week's Flashlight, we're trying out
City Planning Department! Along the way, we hear about Reilly's love of a strong leader, we discover prophecies on the side of a crumbling ancient tower, and we play a game about hidden agendas, decisions by committee, and municipal infrastructure. Thank you very much to Peregrine Acolyte Jason for rounding out our three-member council!
You can head on over to our website to see how the map looked at the end of our game. We lost track of time during recording and ended up playing for way longer than expected, so we split the gameplay into two episodes. The second half is coming in a couple weeks.
We originally heard about City Planning Department in
our interview with Garrett whose table used it in their campaign worldbuilding. We're also following the recommendation from
our interview with David to try more games we find on
itch.io. For a table that used a really different set of systems for campaign worldbuilding, go listen to
our interview with Erika. For that matter, if you want to hear us trying out a very different worldbuilding system, go listen to
our very first Flashlight where we tried out
Microscope.
Thanks to Spritz for providing the intro this week!
If you like the music on the show,
go check out more of Reilly's music. You can also
listen to Reilly's DJ sets on Mixcloud. I'm trying to get Reilly to upload more DJ sets because I want to listen to them too.
