Songbirds 3e comes with "Fuck you, Gary Gygax" written directly on the inside cover. I really admire the ballsiness to kill the hero worship - even if I personally don't know enough about the man to judge if it's warranted or not, it's a bold statement by itself.

I ran Electric Bastionland, finally.

and oh my! Everything went as I thought it would! To prep, I used the spark tables to give myself:

Explorer, gardens, ancient dagger, houseless population, and heavily trafficked, which I interpreted as a plot involving an out of touch explorer coming to retrieve the one that got away (the dagger) as well as the one he lost (his partner/wife).

The party where hired on as his lackies in exchange for knocking off a clean 1k each off their debts. I decided garden street was a popular thoroughfare, but no one knew who maintained the gardens themselves which back up immediately to the street, and are never entered out of superstition. Right on the other side though is a gorgeous garden paradise, where a large houseless population has set up their faction.

They already dislike the explorer cause of the last time he was here. In the end, it’s revealed that his wife has been consumed by the garden and turned into a plant-person, and nothing remains of her personality or mind. She’s just some eyes and some teeth in a human-shaped plant.

Final showdown involving unleashing a PC’s bottled spectre and absolutely RUINING a greenhouse, the explorer pricks himself on the rose-shaped-dagger and is also consumed. The party is left with poeticism, curtains close, the end.

Dear reader, it fucking ruled.

I’m incredibly glad I trusted the book. There was a moment early on where a random encounter was rolled, and I ended up improvising some grannies chasing out 3 frat bro aristocrats from their temple. The party immediately found the grannies 8 times more interesting than getting to garden street, and ate the plot hook line and sinker.

Now I had no clue what any of this WAS like, it was all improv’d, and so I decided then and there to go for something the hook suggests, that there’s always someone else after the goal. One of my PC’s was a useless graduate and so I had one of the aristocrats recognize him from class. Tensions and world holding ensue, and we haven’t even gone inside the temple yet!

I ended up having the grannies keep an herb and veggie garden in the back, that happened to connect up to the mythical garden dungeon thingy behind garden street, so the detour ended up being simply an alternative dungeon entrance, which was a fun reveal later on.

All and all, if I hadn’t attempted to be so flexible in the first place, if I hadn’t indulged in my random encounters and the teachings of the book my session would have really struggled to get moving! Instead I got a super smooth runway straight into some great dungeon crawling action.

Next time I’m gonna prep more though, more city streets and transport methods, maybe even start mapping the underground? I’m terrified of the setting getting TOO gonzo for my very fantasy-focused goals for this campaign, but as always it’s a series of oneshots, which is much easier to tune for genre in the long run.

Afterword

Special thanks to new players! We had a Useless Graduate, an Underground Weirdo, and a Mob Enforcer, for those of you who are obsessed and know the backgrounds from memory (me).

squints suspiciously at the next event's silhouettes devs, if that really is yakumo... DON't make me tap the sign.....😒..........

#wise words from the maw of the requiodilificus. 😞👏🙌 #i have speculations. observations. considerations even. #i wonder what the devs will do... honestly did NOT expect yaku to be in this event but. those ankles. that lack of leg muscle #even MORE surprised that kuya doesn't seem to be SSR in this event???? i mean he's been popping in and out in minor roles #like the event SR and his speshul role as chancellor in the last event #but before they even announced the silhouettes i thought #if there's no kuya SSR this time the kuya fans are gonna riot and feast on our bones #oh.... well dang. ok. the next kuya event's gotta be a really special just-for-foxy-him time then. #BUT THAT MEANS..... THIS EVENT PROBABLY ISN'T YAKUYA #*falls to my knees* MY VISION!! MY HOPES!!!!! DANGLED IN FRONT OF ME AND CRUELLY SNATCHED AWAY #i'm sure i'll have a fun time regardless of who's featured in this event but #MY STUPID FOXSNAKE STICK EM IN A BOX AND WATCH WHAT HAPPENS SCENARIO. SO CLOSE!!! SO!! CLOSE!!!!!!!! #cries gently into the hardwood floor #gonna have to wait an entire 'nother character rotation before the chances of them aligning happen again...... #i'll be in the imaginarium. conjuring scenarios. the interactions can at least be official IN MY MIND #nu carnival yakumo
