The final phase of the game, The Desecration. The first round of the intruders have a different prize in mind, and then the final intruders spark an interesting change in how the skeletons respond. We also transition into a brief commentary on the game and how we enjoyed this unique way of telling a story... or multiple stories at once.

We wrap up the gameplay with a couple big discoveries, and we really leaned into the collaborative nature for these final moments. We then give some brief commentary on the game and some things we DID modify for our world building purposes, and some things we WOULD modify if we played it again in the future. Finally, we discuss the last steps we need to take before we launch into our next long-run campaign.

We have entered The Time of Dust, the next phase of the game. Two more intruders to kill or chase off, and they are pretty horrific ones. We also get several glimpses into the lives of the skeletons before they were charged to guard this tomb, and it's becoming clear that their stories are equally tragic.

We explore a few different locations in this episode with varying results. We get accustomed to the rule set as we create some rumors, legends, and even some questions that unfortunately will not get answered in THIS game. However, there are a couple threads that are weaving their way into the fabric of this world that we're sure will bring some interesting texture to our upcoming campaign.

Phase one of the game, the "unsealed tomb". Two intruders, thwarted, and several secrets of the skeletons' past are revealed... but at a cost. Time passes, but the guardians still stand watch, for now. So far we are loving the collaborative storytelling in this game.

Here's another system to add some more meat to the bones of what we have built previously for our next campaign. We add some specific places to our world, and create characters that will set out to explore those locations, all while navigating some intriguing goals, complications and rumors.

In just getting through the set-up, we were already geeking out about this game. We collaboratively describe the layout of the tomb that we will be guarding. There were a lot of interesting ideas that will make this storytelling game a favorite of the group we are sure.

In this commentary episode we discuss the flexibility of this game for a one-shot and an extended campaign. Aaron shares that there is a lot of flexibility in the game in general, and we conclude that this game would be great for both young and old, and first-time and experienced RPGers. So Good Strong Hands... good strong game.

One last round of play and all the cast will have had their seat as the lens and legacy. We end up creating a played scene that ends up being quite pivotal in fleshing out multiple scenes and events that were already created. Fun stuff!
