Left Behind
by MidnightJester
In this Starforged RPG solo actual play, we follow the story of Emile Spencer, who wakes up stranded in space on a ship in the middle of crashing into the atmosphere of an unknown planet. He has vague memories of encountering a titanic, cosmic beast, VY-572, but there is no one around to tell him any more and no time to do anything but try and survive.

Vacation Special - Rubber Bands and Road Hazards
What began as just a simple intro catching y'all up with the events of my vacation turns into quite the monologue. May it entertain you as much as it made me shake my head in disbelief while it was all happening. Previous Ironsworn Campaigns Ironsworn: Western Frontier Ironsworn Co-Op Campaign...
-
S1E65 - La Petite Mort
Sealed up inside of a make-shift space suit that is welded shut, Emile successfully made it over to the Beowulf once more. Vert, the owner of this modified power armor, is not exactly pleased to see what's been done with it. Sealed up in an airlock together, these two are going to have to find a...
-
S1E64 - We'll All Float On Alright

S1E62 - Start Your Engines

S1E58 - Billowing Backpacks!

-
S1E57 - Ship Schematics (Prep is Play)
Every once in a while it's important to take that step back and use an opportunity to know a little bit about what's coming up. I can only fly by the seat of my pants so well and keep it interesting. So, if we catch up with the prisoner transport ship, what's that going to look like...? Previous...

S1E55 - Playing with Matches

-
S1E52 - Stealth Without Shadow
Emile is left clinging to the underbelly of an Imperium ship carrier, bringing a fleet of single fighter ships to Cinder. These ships are going to be a hell of an aerial force for the Vault Hunters to contend with, or, if Emile plays his cards right, perhaps for the Vault Hunters to use for...

Emile was trying to sneak his way into one of the fighters in Hyperion's hangar, but halfway through his ghosting through the side of it, the phase shifter got disrupted and he got stuck occupying the same physical space as the ship!

S1E50 - Emile's Breakthrough!

S1E42 - Butting Heads
In trying to gain access to a work space, Emile had to make a deal with Firestarter.

S1E38 - The Road Home
How DARE I leave the episode on the cliffhanger of whether or not the blockade run was actually successful?

S1E37 - The Blockade Run
