Pokemon: Tabletop Adventures - Episode 1

0 comments

A long time ago, an elegan/tg/entleman had a dream. It was a dream all of us who have ever played Pokemon have had, usually brought about by the question "What if I could...". What if I could be a member of Team Rocket? What if I could kill pokemon? What if I could focus on contests, without having to gym battle? And such things. And being a denizen of /tg/, he found others with the same dream. He realised that such freedom can only be obtained in one place. The Tabletop. And so it was that Dr. Mr. Stark and others created some rules that would be gathered to become the Pokemon Tabletop Adventures alpha.


I was not there at the beginning, alas. However upon discovery, it became something to look forward to. I downloaded the alpha, and had a look. Having never GM'd anything before, I (rightly) considered it too much for me to handle at this point. Nonetheless, like many others I eagerly awaited the release of the beta. Then it was released, and it was good.


And so it was that I got together some friends, and posed the simple quesiton to them, "Do you want to play?" After a couple innuendo based jokes at my wording of the question, it was generally accepted that this would be a fun thing to do, and after a few weeks it happened. We had our first session. It was decided that, while bumpy, it was pretty ok. Between that session and out next, I decided that I wanted to record our sessions. And that, my dear reader, is why I bring you here today. I have uploaded the audio recorded and invite you to listen and laugh at our 2nd session, in which I monumentally fuck up the rules, one of our players threatens a small child for money, and in-fighting starts between PCs.

I have a straw hat and am in swimming shorts...



And then it rained on our last day. I wrote some really poetic stuff, but don't really feel like typing it up.


I'll see you next week for some back to normal Thursday postings.
