Drop Dead Divas - Session Zero - "Stacking the Deck"

[upbeat country music] Hello, and welcome to NatFun, a live recorded tabletop role-playing adventure game where the cards and a few friends tell the story.

My name's Jackie, and I'm going to join the player ranks yet again as we welcome another special guest.

But first, let's introduce our players.

Who's first, Dan or Dicey? Dan or Dicey? Dan or Dicey?

[laughs] Go ahead, Dicey.

Hello.

It's me again, Dicey Vym.

It's good to see you.

I am excited to be back.

Yeah, we tempted you back with a spooky setting.

I mean, not hard.

I like, I like horror games.

They're fun.

[laughs]

[laughs] That's fair.

Now, where can people find you, Dicey?

So I am over at twitch.tv/diceyvym.

We stream spooky games on Sundays and board games on Mondays, and I have a new YouTube series called Six Pips, where it's six things I would tell you if we were gonna play a game at a game store.

Ooh.

Mm-hmm.

That sounds fun.

And I am Dan.

Um, still here.

[laughs] You can find me over at NatFun anytime.

[laughs]

[laughs] And as I mentioned, we have another special guest on the show.

That's right, I'm excited to introduce Joseph as our Fate Master for this adventure.

Joseph, welcome to the show.

Well, thank you for having me.

This is a great opportunity, and, uh, I'm looking forward to a lot of fun.

It is gonna be fun.

Now, we met a couple years ago actually at a board game convention where you were running this exact game.

That's correct.

Through the Breach is a tabletop RPG based off of the miniatures war game Malifaux.

And so the setting of the game is the world of Malifaux, and there was a breach from Earthside to this alternate dimension called Malifaux, which is a world that is rife with magic and ruins from fallen civilizations.

And the people of Earth have come through this breach in order to harvest the soul stones and the magical energy that they can contain.

See, if that doesn't sound exciting and interesting, I don't know what does.

If you're a fan of the Wild West or the Weird West or steampunk, this is your jam.

And the art is so good.

Yeah.

It's beautiful.
