Quicky Recap

Session Recaps

A quick point-form recap of events from each Session


Session 0

  • All players find themselves in a 1821 Boston still ruled by the British Monarchy
    • This is odd, since all of them were in timezones 50 to 200 years further ahead than that
    • Also the British thing
  • Do you like snow? There's been a Blizzard for 2 weeks and it's showing no signs of letting up any time soon

Choosing a Side

The Crew Find themselves in Wintry Boston, 1821. They've got no money, shitty shelter and no support. Oh, and also all of them are from future times.

They should probably do something about all that.

DT1: Snowed In

Everyone has a place to stay now, and some of them even have disposable incomes. Too bad about all that snow. I suppose there's nothing to do apart from the great wealth of DT Sidequests.

Oh, and also maybe another person from outside of time has shown up. Everyone should probably look into that, too.

Collecting Allies

In which the group needs to track down and recruit a whole lot of political factions

DT2: Biding Time

All of our pieces are set. Now we're just waiting for the opportune moment to play them

The Seige of Boston

Decepticons, Rise Up!

It's time to knock out the pillars of the Viscount's rule & take the city.

DT3: Provisional Governance

Boston has been taken. Good job! Now it's time to lick your wounds from the battle and make sure that the leadership isn't going to lead straight into disaster.
  • Session 30

    • Provisional Government
      • New Carthage and The BAR are in charge of Boston
      • They're not coming to blows, but they sure aren't getting much done, either
      • They need a mediator
      • The group (with some magical help) push through a partial solution by establishing a jury of Boston citizens to act as tie breakers for the two factions
        • This bought time, got running a community watch, and ensured that any other political factions they introduce later will have less power than they otherwise would have
    • The Prince in Red
      • Maelys meets with Lady Snow to talk about the Prince
        • Lady Snow has a poor opinion of the Prince, calling him boorish on more than one occasion
        • She says that he wants Summer to be an army and for for all of the other courts to support Summer in their war against those loyal to the Fae
        • However, she does think that he would make a competent Summer King, and regardless of desired would be unlikely to cause further political issues for the other courts
      • Maelys & Thomas meet with the Prince
        • The Prince believes that he is the best candidate for Summer King on the basis that he's both (one of) the strongest summer changelings and also the local changeling who best embodies the season
        • He freely admits that he earned Demeter's ire by stealing from her, and expresses regret at having done so
      • Thomas's political ambitions
        • Thomas decides that, given the options, the Summer King may as well be himself. he starts making plans to win the throne
    • Temporal Plagiarism
      • Natalie decides to "invent" radio
      • She can't quite manage to secure funding from the rebel government, but they say they might change their tune if she can demonstrate a working prototype
        • That said, she might have to wait around a bit as they devote resources to more essential things
    • Mage Training
      • Jess trains with Jacobin and learns High Speech in exchange for an oath to not deal with the Abyss or the Lower Depths
      • She offers to teach Jess more if she joins a Diamond Order
      • She also talks about some philosophy on magic, revolution and self-improvement


  • Session 31

    • Future Inventions
      • Natalie demonstrates a prototype of a simple radio transmitter (basically a wireless telegraph)
      • The Provisional Government is interested in helping her get an electric generator up and running, but doesn't have the resources to spare for it right now
      • However, they do  know who does have the resources
        • It's Jean Petite AKA Wheel of Fortune
      • Wheel of Fortune offers to fund and manufacture Natalie's devices in exchange for shared ownership over them
        • He takes the greater share of ownership (and therefore profit) from the inventions, but still leaves enough for Natalie to have some decent income from them
      • Wheel of Fortune also says that he'd consider it a favour done for Natalie to help him get a seat at the table of the provisional government
    • Helping Molly
      • Maelys meets up with Molly
      • The young Werewolf is doing better than she was, as she's no longer hunted, but she's still far from home
      • Generally speaking, she wants the following:
        • She would like to return to her pack, but doesn't know how to find or contact them
        • She would like to be less isolated, but doesn't really want to socialize with English Colonizers (and has a language barrier with them anyway)
      • Maelys decides to track down and meet with Raccoon to see if the mage might be able to help
        • Raccoon doesn't know where Molly's pack is, but she does think she might be able to help
        • She agrees to meet with Molly and will tell Maelys how it goes later
    • Changeling Politics
      • Thomas approaches the Monarchs of the other courts for support for summer this year (also strengthening his position as a potential new Summer Monarch)
        • Lady Snow & Demeter agree to lend help during Summer
        • Demeter throws in for free how to find some unaligned changelings to potentially recruit, as she likes that Thomas is opposing the Prince in Red's claim
        • Stoneface also agrees to help, but only in exchange for Thomas helping the Autumn court get a seat on the Provisional Government
      • Thomas needs the following to recruit as many changelings as possible into summer under himself as Monarch:
        • He needs an existing community which he can point to as a place for Changelings to be a part of
        • He needs to simply persuade some of them to get off the fence and join him
        • He needs to demonstrate that Summer under him will be meaningfully different than it was under Coyote or would be under The Red Prince
      • Thomas gets started on that community building thing. He uses Changeling Bullshit to plan a supernatural scheme and looks into what sort of investments he needs to establish a political faction in Boston
    • Astral Travels
      • Jess travels the astral, collecting connections to courthouses in different places to plant coins she's soaked in her nimbus as Connect Beacons to those places
      • Jess enters her Oneiros with Jacobin to confront her demons
        • They view a bunch of Jess's memories and Jacobin gets clues that Jess is from another time
        • Eventually they are confronted by an extremely antagonistic Goetia who encouraged Jacobin to be punitive and harsh towards Jess
          • It looks like an older version of Jess, dressed like her Mother, with all of the negative aspects of a Matron and none of the positive
          • This is Jess's Daimon
          • Jacobin notes that, while not unusual, it is uncommon for a Daimon to be this hostile, and it is something Jess most definitely is going to want to work
  • Session 32

    • Molly the Werewolf
      • Maelys gets a drop in from Raccoon
      • Raccoon has spoken to Molly. She can't really help Molly much herself, but she does know someone who can
      • She relays that she's sent a message to a Werewolf she knows named Diane, who's whole thing is sort of looking after people like Molly
      • She finishes saying she'll be leaving the city soon, but leaves Maelys a fetish which she can use to send Raccoon a message if needed
    • The Thornton Demon
      • Jess decides it's time to resummon a demon, this time with her friends
      • They want to ask Azazel about the whole time travel thing, and the Demon has a few answers
        • He claims that something fucked with the timeline in a bigger way than normal and probably destroyed themselves doing it
        • This is relevant because he thinks someone else did a bit more fuckery to bring a bunch of people through time and space to maybe try and fix some of the damage from that first fuckening
        • What he doesn't know is what exactly got changed (though the players probably have a few guesses on this) or who did either of the cases of temporal fuckening
      • Natalie asks how to get a message back to her future
        • Azazel suggest burying a letter, or perhaps talking to her Huntsman about having the Archfae do it, since it's a being powerful enough and out of time enough to do this sort of thing
      • Azazel finishes off by quizzing Jess a bit on her family and leaving her a copper book with a lock on it but no key
        • Jess uses magic to track down this key and finds it buried in the grave of Rose Thornton's father, the man who founded the Thornton Cult
    • The Summer Court
      • Thomas has moderate but not exceptional success recruiting Courtless Changelings into Summer with the message that they don't need to be soldiers, actually
      • The group also decide to talk to a Goblin Information Broker about Natalie's Huntsman
        • They find a guy who's about 50% neck who's willing to sell them info in exchange for a year and a day or Thomas' service to be collected at a time of the goblin's choosing no sooner than 10 years hence
        • He reveals that the Huntsman bought all the information she could from the market about Natalie, as well as enough supplies to stock a small faeish pantry
        • He also notes that she paid with things obvious harvested from humans, the presumed victims of the Corpsemaid
        • He reveals that the Corpse Maid entered and left the area via the deep hedge, which is presumably where her respawn point is


  • Session 33

    I forgot so very quick version this week


    • Summer Court
      • Recruited everyone who could reasonably be recruited to the Summer Court
      • Spied on the Prince in Red
    • Demon Book
      • Some bullshit about the God Machine
      • Non-Chronological and Contradictory events surrounding the American Revolution
      • The Contract the Thorntons have with their Demon
    • Molly
      • Diane showed up and asked Maelys to help put molly into school


  • Session 34

    • George Kampfer
      • Natalie runs off to talk to George with Thomas
      • George is doing better than he was during the siege, but still not exactly good
      • He feels useless and restless, but isn't willing to sail against the British Empire on the grounds of having sworn an oath
      • Natalie convinces him of a compromise, to sign up to be a commercial ship captain instead
    • Cult Building
      • Jess spends some time building her Mystery cult and recruits Charles Thornton to sign up
    • The Summer Solstice
      • It's time to crown a new Summer Monarch!
      • Thomas has gathered a lot of support to back up his claim to the throne
      • Meanwhile The Prince in Red has an army of Goblins and is arguably a better fighter
      • The Prince arrives at the stroke of midnight, only to be met by Demeter, Spring Monarch, blocking his way to the throne
        • The ownership of the Summer Throne, she says, is in contention
        • Thomas and His Redness compare dicks and find that Thomas now has the better claim, having done the bulk of the work repopulating the court after the heavy loses they suffered during the Siege of Boston
        • So his Redness challenges Thomas for the Throne, and for weapons Thomas selects the court itself as his weapon
        • This is a bad look for his Redness, as by trying to claim the throne it paints him in position to the court he would rule
        • But he's not willing to be back down, so declares himself a conqueror and summons his Goblin Army
        • Unfortunately for the Prince, he didn't plan on having to summon an army of goblins tonight, and attendance of those who answer his calls is not as much as he'd prefer. Thomas has the better army
        • The two groups have a mock battle in the freehold and Thomas wins
        • His Redness is allowed to leave for exile in the Hedge and swears not to harass members of the Summer Court who pass him by
        • Thomas takes the throne. The scenery of the freehold instantly shifts to summer iconography as defined by Thomas. He is the new Summer King
    • Aftermath
      • As the after party is winding down, every firearm in the freehold discharges simultaneously
      • No one is injured by this, but a lot of plates and bowls are broken
      • Natalie gets very drunk and the group decide to walk her hold
      • On the way there, they are intercepted by a shadowy man with pointed ears
      • He leaves a letter for them addressed to Maelys and disappears into the shadows
      • The letter is simple:
        • I'm here to make America Great Again
        • And I'm going to start by Dealing with You
        • Signed, The Redcap
        • Maelys' Huntsman has arrived
  • Session 35

    Basically this whole session was taken up fighting The Corpsemaid. Magic was Cast. Players were hurt. A lot of people ended up in the stew.

    But hey! The Corpsemaid was killed. Now time to get that Nexus before she respawns.

  • Session 36

    Hunt down and destroy the Corpse Maid's Nexus

  • Session 37

      • Four person governor council, with one person rotating seasonally who has a double vote for the purpose of tie breaking
    • Appointed "Noble" Class with political privilege in exchange for extra responsibilities
      • Think house of lords type situation. Less power than an elected official on paper, but still a fair amount
      • Not a heritable position
