Online Actual Play Podcast

Hello gents and ladies,

I just though I'd post a link here to the Second Edition campaign that I am currently playing in, which is now streaming on youtube as a series. Hope you all enjoy it!

Listening now! Nice intro so far.

Quick question - I am editing the new episode. Would people prefer a larger quantity of shorter, half-hour/hour videos or just one long episode?

See your other thread to see my reply. Essentially if you're going to cut make it at a tense moment or the result of a role. Near 30 minute blocks seem to be the sweet spot.

Good night everybody!

Here's the latest episode of our Dark Heresy - Second Edition playcast. I'll be uploading a half-hour segment weekly on Saturday nights, which will help fill the void between game time. Also, our new art style for the videos will feature kooky Gothic artwork - just something a little different from the usual FFG stuff.

Enjoy! Don't forget to Like and Subscribe to the channel, and if you want more then stay tuned.

It's that time of the week again!

As the underhive shootout continues, the acolytes are forced to adapt to new allies and new enemies. Will they be able to turn the tide back to the side of the law, or they sacrifice the lives of the innocent to maintain their masquerade?

How are people enjoying the new format? What about the new episode artwork? Feedback is always appreciated, and enjoy the episode!

Episode 4 is here!

As you can tell by the image/if you take the time to read the blurb, you'll see our heroes indulging in the Inquisition's prime specialty - cold-blooded torture. Unfortunately, nothing is simple in the lives of the acolytes, and the mission only gets more complicated from here.

Today we see Andy's interpretation of a 40k hospital - bleak and apathetic, as always. Meanwhile, the rest of the gang get up to the usual nefarious shenanigans, with predictably unpredictable consequences.

Episode 6 is here!

Thaddeus's sinister parade continues, and it's up to the acolytes to figure out how to stop it!

With Jonah's explosive demise sending the acolytes into a frenzy, Thaddeus's parade transforms into an explosive battleground. Will the cult icon's insidious grasp over Sporn end, or are the remaining acolytes doomed to suffer a similar fate?

Episode 8 is now live.

After escaping the parade, the acolytes interrogate the overseers of the Overwatch and begin to uncover the true nature of the planetary governor's demise.

The interrogations continue, and the acolytes prepare to report to Lord Gordon of their findings and their plans for General Thaddeus.
Also, we at Crystal Geyser Gaming would like to give a massive thank you to Dark Reign for featuring our podcast on their website's front page! It means a lot to all of us and we're glad the listeners are enjoying the series.

A little note, for those actively following the series - due to a sudden buildup of episodes, I'm going to endeavor to start releasing one-hour episodes twice a week following episode 10. Episode 11 marks the introduction of some new characters and a tonal shift in the campaign, so hopefully those who have been keeping up with the series won't find the abundance of new content too overwhelming!

The acolytes report their findings and theories to Lord Gordon, and it is revealed that the enigmatic Inquisitor is far more mysterious than any of his disciples had imagined. But everything changes when Gordon reveals the existence of a mysterious artifact - an artifact tainted by the warp itself.

The second stage of Gordon's warband's investigation is about to begin. Recovered from their botched attempt to assassinate General Thaddeus, the acolytes discover new, if eccentric allies in the forms of Adept Dekkard and Beaver Coonskin. However, now the tides have turned and the hunt is upon the acolytes, as the Sporn Overwatchers unite with the Adeptus Arbites to bring a certain cell of "criminals" to justice.

The acolytes prepare to mobilize against the Overwatchers Regiment, constructing an array of traps, devices, and explosives. Beaver, Jonah, Aaron and Dekkard migrate to the Middle Hive to heist Iscarot's motorcade, resulting in a fiery downtown battle. Will Gordon's agents succeed in bringing the enigmatic officer in, or will they be thwarted by Iscarot's cunning guile?

The acolytes, having abducted Captain Iscarot, return to Beaver's bungalow in the underhive to begin interrogating the officer of the Overwatchers Regiment. However, Gordon's warband is still decidedly inexperienced with the fine art of extracting information from its foes, and it seems like the treacherous renegade may possess the upper hand. Meanwhile, Gordon reveals Jonah's secret activities, leading to mistrust between the acolytes.

The acolytes take to the turbulent tides of the warp as, after days of intrigue, espionage and resource-gathering, they prepare to depart Sporn and relocate to its neighboring world, Khadore. Luckily for them, the Rogue Trader Jebediah is more than happy to lend some assistance - but it soon becomes apparent that this erstwhile merchant may know more than he reveals

Hey guys, so in the last few episodes we seem to be going through a dry spell with regard to views. We at the channel have talked about it, and we have a feeling it's probably due to the new format - 2x 1 hour episodes per week is a lot more of a time commitment than 1x 30min episode once a week. If you viewers would refer, we will dial it back to the original format. Leave a comment below or advice on how to fix our slow few weeks!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xn685IpPHA

In this small series of standalone episodes, Jonah Keough sets out on a personal vendetta against a sinister cult aboard Lord-Captain Jebediah's vessel. In facing off against cultists of Chaos, Jonah finds himself drawn closer to the dark temptations of corruption than ever before. All he has for allies are a confused crewman, a heretical priest, and an excessively pyromaniacal tech-priest.
