Bitches & Liches Bitch Team Alpha

Welcome to the first episode of Bitches and Liches! Four strangers band together to fight against the forces of evil in Aldis. We’re starting out with the sample story in the back of the Blue Rose rulebook called “Shadows of Tanglewood.”
Forgive the awkward silences and loud dice rolls--we’re still new to Blue Rose and to actual play podcasts, but we get a little better with each recording! There are already a bunch of rules we got wrong in this first arc that we’ll do better on the next time, and we’re excited to hear what others think of our game!

In the first episode, the heroes received a psychic call for help and ventured out into Tanglewood Forest to find the one who sent the call. They were quickly surrounded by dangerous wolves and had to fight back. Will our heroes defeat the wolves and find the one who needs help? Will the crocodile nurse be able to heal their injuries? Will anyone get a cute bandage with rocketships on it to cover their injuries? Find out in this second episode of Bitches & Liches!

Rand, Skort, Tworian, and Finn have found Talaith and the Ebban Manor. Now, they want to look at things with their dice eyes and figure out what the heck is going on with this big-ass, run-down manor.

Time for the sprite fight! In this episode, the team battles the mechanical sprites they found in the mad fae’s workshop. And we decide what our first Bitches & Liches t-shirts will look like. Join Finn, Rand, Skort, and Tworian as they flail and chomp their way through this battle that goes on for maybe a little longer than it needs to.

In this episode, the group learns to read the room. The adventures finally meet Dartis, Talaith’s partner, and they have to figure out how to out-dance an exceptionally graceful faun.

This episode featured a special guest: Nami! Jessica’s cat Nami decided to sit on Jessica’s dice and then continue to be completely in the way during the battle. If you want to see her cute face, check her out on Instagram @petteamalpha.

This episode marks the end of the Shadows of Tanglewood arc and gives you a chance to hear more about how Blue Rose works! The group levels up (and makes some great leveling up sounds). They all gain awesome new abilities and get to dive into their specializations! Spoiler: they specialize in exactly the things you would expect them to while also somehow specializing in completely unexpected things. Our adepts also have visions of their mentors who lead them in their journey to specializing their arcana, and their voices were planned well in advance so they sound super practiced and reasonable and not at all weird. Also, our favorite warrior goes BERSERK, and we learn that one of our group may come from a noble background.
