Bullet Point Actual Play
by Bullet Point Actual Play
Have you ever wanted to take your TTRPG world from the beginnings of magic to the space age? Only to realize that you’d need to homebrew most of the system to create the setting? We have. And we realized the best solution would be a setting agnostic system that removed the fluff so you can customize and flavor your character and world however you want. But there wasn’t one that could do it just the way we wanted so we decided to make our own. Another goal was that combat, challenges, and negotiation should be able to happen simultaneously for varied and exciting encounter options. It’s a work in progress, but easy customization for players and simple tools for the GM make the system versatile and simple to run. Meaning more time for the GM to spend on the things they want: building their own world.After several one-shot playtests to work out the kinks, it was time to try a full campaign. If we wanted to share the rule set with the public, why not also share our shenaniganery too!Wee

C1.E5: Aftershow and Mechanics Chat
During the few hours before the fight Dollfour made some upgrades to himself and recognized there is something odd about that rusty knife he pulled from the trash. Ro and Number 6 finished the tinkering portion of making a listening device with two receivers, but have reached out for help on the programming portion. Then, looking for the fight that Oculus said would happen, all three headed down to Desperation, and while they were finishing off some scrappers, Tyven himself entered the stadium. After Number 6 severed flesh and ties with Oculus, he discovered that Tyven is also known as Aces, someone from a forgotten past.Rules version: Draft 9, d6 dice mechanic tryoutAppleDiscordPatreonSpotifyYouTubeWebsite

C1.E4: Aftershow and Mechanics Chat
A man with a lot of power over your lives is grasping at straws trying to maintain control as his territory is threatened. Oculus has been rejected by YBB because of something involving his father, Ignatius, and Cerebricorp many decades ago. Oculus’s father, but not Number 6’s grandfather. And at midnight in Desperation, Oculus seems confident that Tyven aims to make a show of what’s to come.Rules version: Draft 9AppleDiscordPatreonSpotifyYouTubeWebsite

C1.E3: Aftershow and Mechanics Chat
Through a door underneath a trash pile, Dollfour and Number 6 quickly dispatched some sentry bots that were pointing at them. Then dispatched the cybernetic guard that came after them as well. They found small listening devices being disguised and embedded in glass mugs. They questioned their quarry, Aines, who said that YBB had given a man named Tyven the green light to move in on Oculus’s territory. After they met up with Ro, they all met Danner in the theater. They learned that he borrowed money from Oculus to start his business of having his customers sell their information to megacorporations, and using their collective money to buy just enough calories to keep them alive so they can sit in the theater in peace and not go back to the grind. Upon learning that Teesh had been giving away information that Koehler had given her, Oculus brought everyone to his compound and demonstrated what happens when people are too carefree with information.

C1.E2: Aftershow and Mechanics Chat
While a shady Aines was running away, in a cold, dark alley in the City of All, Number 6 tried to negotiate with a group of scrappers that had ganged up on an individual. But running out of time and not willing to risk losing his quarry, Number 6 abandoned the person, pursued, and discovered Aines’ destination, losing the scrappers in the process. Meanwhile, Ro headed to the 75th floor of The Remnants, finding it quite empty and covered in a layer of dust. On wandering and hearing something behind a door labeled "Theater", she knocked on the door and a robot answered. After refusing an invitation to join those sitting in the theater, Ro has decided to wait for the others. Meanwhile, Dollfour caught up with Number 6 at a trash pile containing a hidden door. And after Dollfour did something that wasn’t quite in line with his programming, together the two were able to hack their way past a keypad that was underneath.Rules version: Draft 8Disclaimer: We have some audio issues in the first several episodes.

C1.E1: Aftershow and Mechanics Chat
In an underground club in the City of All, in the floating sky nation of Iuban, Number 6, Dollfour, and Ro looked for evidence of a mole in their employer/father’s mob organization. They talked with a couple of his enforcers, the Canaries, one of whom is dating the waitress, Teesh, at Club Vagrant. The waitress exhibited some strange behavior, and after a note that was meant for a customer was stolen, she and her customer Aines immediately left the club in a hurry heading in different directions. The note mentioned someone named Danner and the 75th floor. The group split up. Dollfour and Ro went after Teesh, who they lost when she entered the massive skyscraper neighborhood, The Remnants. Number 6 went after Aines. After 6 got spotted following, Aines quickly turned a corner down an alley jumping a fence. Also in that alley was a group of scrappers. People who scavenge metal from anywhere they can, including the random guy that they are ganging up on right now.Rules version: Draft 8Disclaimer: We have some audio issues in the first several episodes.
