    ALIEN: Desolation - Part 3: Den of Beasts - Episode 3

    The disaster of LV-145 and the Pinnacle Facility may have been a setback for the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, but Clarke and Butler, decades after the facility's fall, still cling to the hope of the Engineer technology there. All has been silent since the FA/TH/UR AI went live, so the two begin to think there may be one last chance to save their careers, hatching a plan to divert a hapless crew to the far off system... with an android by the name of David in tow. Here is the thrilling conclusion to the ALIEN: DESOLATION story! Part III of ALIEN: Desolation is the third in an ALIEN: The Roleplaying Game-inspired series of podcast episodes created as part of The Tabletop Bureau's co-creator's master's project. Unlike the former parts, Part III utilizes very minimal scripting, instead presenting the events of "actual play" exactly as happened while running through the accompanying adventure -- Den of Beasts. For this reason, Part III is divided into three separate episodes. This is the second of three episodes. STARRING: Jonathan Krebs as The Narrator & Game MU/TH/UR McKenzie Power as Clarke John Tobin as Butler Rachel Bissonnette as MU/TH/UR Gary Minnie as Captain Connors Monique Bettencourt as M.C. Tynan Byrne as Murtry Zack Shively as Westin & Philip Howells as DAVID-9 This episode uses the following: Uncovering the Truth by John Presstone Link: https://www.storyblocks.com/audio/stock/uncovering-the-truth-346764665.html (Licensed under Storyblocks Individual License - Royalty-Free) Odious Signs by Humans Win Link: https://www.storyblocks.com/audio/stock/odious-signs-rzivei-edkepys3gg.html (Licensed under Storyblocks Individual License - Royalty-Free)

    ALIEN: Desolation - Part 2: Mark of the Beast

    Several decades have passed since the fateful landing of the USCSS Norito, and much has changed in the Eta Leporis system. Clarke and Butler of the Weyland-Yutani Special Projects Division succeeded in establishing a research presence to study the world's strange xenomorphic creatures and ancient ruins, but unfortunately not all is progressing to plan... Part II of ALIEN: Desolation is the second in an ALIEN: The Roleplaying Game-inspired series of podcast episodes created as part of The Tabletop Bureau's co-creator's master's project. This episode, unlike the first episode, is constructed around the events of "actual play" for two original modules created for ALIEN: The Roleplaying Game. The story takes place over two interspersed story arcs, set in the same facility on LV-145: one during the fall of the facility, and the other during the arrival of a marine detachment to "rescue" the colony. STARRING: Jonathan Krebs as The Narrator McKenzie Power as Clarke Ryan Kish as Waits Evan St. Cyr as Mark John Tobin as Butler Joe Archer as Pierce Ira Cross as Griggs Philip Howells as Doyle Haley Barger as Lasky Shane Staser as Hoffman Rachel Bissonnette as Rockswold Gary Minnie as Rico Jeff Weidenaar as FA/TH/UR This episode uses the following: Uncovering the Truth by John Presstone Link: https://www.storyblocks.com/audio/stock/uncovering-the-truth-346764665.html (Licensed under Storyblocks Individual License - Royalty-Free) Odious Signs by Humans Win Link: https://www.storyblocks.com/audio/stock/odious-signs-rzivei-edkepys3gg.html (Licensed under Storyblocks Individual License - Royalty-Free)

    ALIEN: Desolation - Part 1: Mind of Ice

    In the grim cold of space, far beyond the frontier, lies the dead Eta Leporis system. Once a burgeoning colony system of the mysterious "Engineers," Eta Leporis is now sterile and static... until a crew of cargo haulers is awakened by their onboard MU/TH/UR computer to investigate a strange signal. Where have we heard that before? What they find leads to terror both within and without, in ways you may not expect... The first new release from The Tabletop Bureau in years, ALIEN: DESOLATION is a multi-part story arc told through a variety of means. This first episode follows an exact written script, while others are either "Actual Play" or dramatic readings based off of the events of Actual Play. ALIEN: DESOLATION was created as part of a graduate thesis while one of the founders of The Tabletop Bureau completed his degree. STARRING: Jonathan Krebs as The Narrator McKenzie Power as Clarke John Tobin as Butler Evan St. Cyr as Captain Houston Rachel Bissonnette as MU/TH/UR Adam Christoff as Nadler Taylor Thorp as Scully Nathan Keiper as Carlisle Brandon Domagalski as Brad This episode uses the following: Uncovering the Truth by John Presstone Link: https://www.storyblocks.com/audio/stock/uncovering-the-truth-346764665.html (Licensed under Storyblocks Individual License - Royalty-Free) Odious Signs by Humans Win Link: https://www.storyblocks.com/audio/stock/odious-signs-rzivei-edkepys3gg.html (Licensed under Storyblocks Individual License - Royalty-Free)
