Show transcript (autogenerated by Apple Podcasts) ▾

Hi, Spoutlorians, Abdul here, just letting you know that we dropped another episode of our Patreon-exclusive playtest for our upcoming campaign, Up All Night, over on our Patreon feed, and also dropping a little teaser here in the main feed for you guys. So if you're interested, head over to Patreon for the full episode. Links are in the show notes. There's no way I'm letting you out there with those things running around. Yeah. We're going. We're going together. Oh, yeah.

Do you want to sleep in the bookstore? No, no, no. Like an old man. No, I don't need to sleep in the bookstore, okay? I'll sleep in the car right there. Yeah, in the recliner. Yeah. We'll see. Such an old dude. I'll bring a pillow just in case. I grab his slippers as well. Stop looking at those. There he comes. Yeah. And you head back into town? Yeah. All right. And during the drive, I kind of want to just break down for us what we just observed. Okay. So Tiffany is a vampire. Mm-hmm.

You mean Sage? Tiffany? That is a great… Tiffany? It may mean alive. I appreciate that you corrected me. I only agreed to that because I'm so tired. Yeah. You know what, Sterling? You might be right that I need to sleep. But Tiff, we have confirmed that Sage is a vampire. I was wrong about that guy in the brown coat. He is also a vampire. And I was right because I was like, I bet he's a vampire. You were right. Nice. You guys were both right. I was wrong about that. That's not important.

Thing number three. But it's worth noting. That Jesus was wrong. Jesus was wrong. I think we can all admit it. And even though it kind of shakes us all to our core when that happens. Yeah. I'm only human. I think we can all agree the world is upside down right now. I think we're all shaken to our core. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Fourth thing. She seems to not be able to enter a house unless invited. Yes. So the books are true so far. Yes. But they were able to go into the house when we weren't there.

Or somebody or something was. Yeah. And he is a vampire. So he did go in there. So if we're in a house and we haven't invited them, they can't come into it. I should let Ray know. Right. Right. You got to tell him because she'll. For sure. Try and turn him because he is a sweet piece of ass. Truly is. You guys high five. Yeah. Ray's so cool. That's really sweet. That's actually really sweet. Okay. So that's. So there. So that's the other thing. She. The religious stuff does bother her.

She did not like saying my name. Seemed like that. And then also with the rosary fucked her up a little bit. Mm hmm. So is there a church in town? Oh, yeah. Jesus asks genuinely. Not having ever. Collected. Serious. I don't know. I've never seen it. You've done like so many drop offs of that church. Is that a church? That's a church. Yeah. I thought that guy with the weird color was just a rich guy in a huge house. It's also that. With really fucked up sculptures. Inside. Yeah.

Cultures are weird. Those are churches. Wait. That. That. I'm not going to do my. I'm just stand up. You were just about to do that bit that you do. Yeah. The statue of Jesus. It's a weird ass statue. Yeah. Okay. And then the last thing that we for sure know is that I am not a virgin. Right. So your blood is out. My blood is out for that moon ritual. May or may not be true. Uh huh. Yeah. Going to the church. We might later today. We should go get some holy water. Just sick. Yeah.

But just so you know, that rich guy does not wake up before 11 on Tuesday. Can I suggest something? Yes. I think we need to see Ray first. Yes. He wakes up early to go for a jog. Okay. Okay. Yeah. And then more like a flat out run. I know he's going. He's going so fast for like an hour straight. Yeah. It's pretty wild. It's pretty cool. All right. So you guys hop in Shelby drive back to Bushwick. It is the crack of dawn. Uh huh. Um, what time do we think it is? I'm bad at time.

So I'll let you guys decide. Like 730. No, no. 6 AM. 6 AM. 6 AM. So it's 6 AM. It's dark. Uh, but you see like the, the, the little like, uh, vest the, the, the suggestion of sunlight at the edge of the horizon. Uh huh. Um, and you're driving through Bushwick. This is Bushwick at its peak, baby. Uh, this town is doing fine. All the storefronts are not abandoned. There are not that many for lease signs up and if they are up, it is for a good reason.

I love how not abandoned all the stores in this town. Yeah. There's so much commerce happening. It's good to be in a boom. So you're driving. Tiffany probably knows Ray's like jogging route. He takes the same route every day. Yeah. And so you get to basically like where you think he would be at that time. It comes around a corner. Yeah. He's right on. He's right where he's supposed to be like fucking clock.

And he's got the, he's got the red athletic shorts with the white stripe down the side and then like the tank top that's cut off. Like under the, under the packs. Shit. He's glistening. Describe Ray. Uh, he's got like a short black hair. Uh, like he plays, wait, what is his sport? Lacrosse. Okay. So he's got like lacrosse bod. Oh yeah. Strong shoulders. Lots of bruises from lacrosse. Yeah. Not from other things. Surprisingly good teeth. Yeah. Good teeth. Oh yeah. Great teeth.

Uh, strong square face. Tall height. What are we talking about? Uh, I don't know. He's like, he's like five, eight. Yeah. Like he's like, he's like five, eight. Yeah. Oh, he's Chinese. He's a Chinese guy. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, great. And you see him running down the street and he sees huge Chinese quads and calves are popping. So like power, he's got the cutoff tank top. He's got abs for sure. Yeah. He's shredded. Flat ass. Bit of a flat ass. Not much ass. You know, Chinese. Yeah.

I'm allowed to say it. Yeah. Jess. Yeah. We know. Yeah. It's fine. Yeah. Yeah. Just for other people. Jess, we know. Just for the listeners that aren't aware. We know you're Chinese. There's some Chinese. Sorry. No, keep talking about it. You know what the shit. That's it. That's what he looks like. Yeah. And he sees Shelby. He hears Shelby before he sees her. Yeah. Come at Shelby coming around the mountain. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, pop pop pop.

She runs, rips around the corner and he sees you in your Jeep and he waves at you. Hey babe. What's going on? Running on the spot. It's a weird, this is a weird thing. Uh huh. Hey Sterling. Hey Jesus. What's up? What are you guys? Sterling's asleep. What are you doing riding around? Dude, you're looking fucking hard as shit. Hey, thanks bro. Hard as shit. I almost said I. And then I changed it to hard as shit. Hard as shit, dude. Such a good read. Thanks bro.

You're fucking pounding that pavement, man. Yeah. Thanks man. Fuck. I miss being on a lacrosse team. I miss being on a lacrosse team. I miss being on a lacrosse team. I miss being on a lacrosse team. Oh my God. High school was great. Yeah. It's done now. Jesus is a virgin. Dude, we're dead. What's going on? We had book club last night. Oh yeah? Yeah. Um, wait, so does Ray know about like occult stuff? You tell me. I think yes. You, you told him. Oh. He's like, he thinks it's cute.

It's kind of like, uh, Willow's boyfriend Oz. Well, not exactly where he's like kind of aware and then he gets really into it, but like right after he gets into it, he's like, I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. But like, right now he's kind of like, okay, yeah, you guys do like weird stuff. Right. Cause that was the pact with the town.

They're aware that we take care of this shit, but they don't want to know anything about it. I think Ray is like supportive. Like he'll take it seriously when it is. But it's not an absolute secret from him and it's never been. I think he's, and I think because he's such a like driven guy, you're like, oh, we had book club and he's like, oh yeah, we had book club. And he's like, oh yeah, we had book club. And he's like, oh yeah, we had book club. And he's like, oh yeah, we had book club.

And he's like, oh yeah, we had book club. And he's like, oh yeah, we had book club. And he like leans in. He's like, so what's up? What's the deal? Well, Sage went missing last night. Whoa. What? Sage? Yeah. Sage. Oh, she's not here. Yeah. No. You're okay. Go back to sleep. Who's this? Mr. Norman. Yeah. Hi. I'm Ray Lee. You know Ray. I'm Tiffany's boyfriend. It's nice to meet you, sir. Good to meet you. We've actually met several times. Yeah. We've gone to his restaurant a few times. Remember?

Okay. So. I'm hanging so hard. I actually did really like that Ray sticks his hand out and Sterling's like, okay. We've met. Good enough. Oh, it's a, it's a dad thing. Yeah. Totally. It's your daughter's boyfriend. It's a little protective. Yeah. Okay. Literally your ability is protective. Yeah. Yeah. So what's going on? Sage is missing. Sage is missing. So we were, we were, we were up late looking for her cause like it was shady. We went in her room. Stuff was chaotic.

Like there was like stuff everywhere. Weird torn marks. I noticed that like the mirrors were shattered. So anyway, we went like we went on deep dive. Yeah. Yeah. Um, there was, we, we went to Rosie's last night. Love Rosie's. Love Rosie. A few people told us that there was this strange guy that we'd never seen before who followed her out. What? Yeah. Some kind of weird guys running around. Yeah. You better keep this between us young man. Oh, Hey, Hey. Understood. Yeah.

So I'm like, Hey, I'm a strange guy. You let me know. And I'll know he's a, he's a little, he's a short guy. He's dangerous. Short guy. Like how tall he's like five. He's five, seven in Cuban heels. Oh, really little. Okay. All right. Not a strong five, eight. Like, uh, like some people. Yeah. And you're five, eight in just regular van. I'm not even wearing shoes, dude. Oh my God. I run barefoot. Oh wow. Fucking rad. It's better for your health. It's good. It's good for speed off the jump. Yeah.

He's got a lot of weight. He's got a lot of weight. But he's fucking dangerous. We think, should we tell him everything? Yeah. Okay. We think that guy's a vampire and he definitely turned Sage into a vampire. Honey. I know it sounds like fucking weird, but like legit Sage came by and she was trying to like make us a vampire. Yeah. And she said, she's coming after you. You gotta stay inside today. And I think she started some kind of rumor that I was a virgin, which is fucking crazy. Right.

It's also really important to know. He like puts a hand on like the side mirror and is like, Oh, I'm a virgin. And it's like seeming to be stabilizing himself a little bit. Vampire. Vampires are a real thing. I hand him three bulbs of garlic. Keep these on you at all times. I know it sounds ridiculous. He hands them back. My parents own a Chinese restaurant. I got plenty.

I take one of the crosses that we made and I hand it to him and I go, dude, she was like horny for turning you into a vampire. He's got loads of those at home. Are our raised parents religious? Oh, right. They're Christian Chinese. So, I'm like, I'm gonna go get a vampire. I'm like, I'm gonna go get a vampire. I'm like, I'm gonna go get a vampire. I'm like, I'm gonna go get a vampire. I'm like, I'm gonna go get a vampire. He's like, okay. No, no, no, no. We've got plenty. Garlic and crosses.

We got to go. Yeah. Don't worry. I feel like you're going to be the hardest person for her. She's going to turn you into a vampire then. I'm serious, Ray. You got to stay inside tonight. Do not open the door for anyone. Tell your mom and dad. I can't just let you do this on your own. I mean, babe. Babe. Babe. Babe. Do we invite him? Babe. Do we invite him? We're including him now. I can't look. No, it's just like, look, if I'm like, if, if, if it will help you. Do your thing.

I can stay out of the way, but like, I want to help, babe. Hey, I turned to you guys. What do we do? I did a chance to hang out with Ray. Yes, please. Also serious. She's after him. So we've got bait now. Oh, and also we're safer. Can he be then with us? That's true. Yeah. Babe hop in the car. Well, no. Well, okay. Well, but it's daytime, right? Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Show transcript (autogenerated by Apple Podcasts) ▾

Hi, Spoutlorians. Abdul here, letting you know that over on Patreon, we just dropped a brand new episode in our ongoing series of Up All Night playtests. If you don't remember, Up All Night is what we've got in store for our post-Speltlor campaign. In this playtest, we're playing Monster Hunters in the 1970s, using the system Bump in the Dark by Last Pine Press. What you're about to hear is a teaser from that episode.

If you're interested in listening to the whole episode, along with all our other playtests for Up All Night, head over to Patreon. Links are in the show notes. Oh, Loretta's here every night. Let's go talk to Loretta. Okay. There's a lady, what, just like at the end of the bar? Yeah, she's smoking. Everybody's smoking in here. This place is full of cigarette smoke. Yeah, our eyes are watering. But we're used to it. Sterling quit smoking 20 years ago. He was just like…

This is why he comes to Rosie's. There's so much smoke. He steals my wool. I can barely see anything. But yeah, Loretta's at the end of the counter. She's drinking a black coffee, smoking a cigarette. She's an older lady. She's also got a big blonde, platinum white perm. And she's got a lot of makeup on. You know, like the big blue eyeshadow, purple lipstick. Take my breath away. Jesus. Jesus is like… She takes a big, long drag off her cigarette. Jesus is into her? Red lipstick.

Canadian classic, sucking it down to the filter. I thought she was like six. She's older. She's a glance, mascara cake on her eyes. I think it's the kind of thing where Jesus's mom was friends with her when Jesus was like 12. So he had some like formative sexual thoughts about Loretta. It was like, whoa. Yeah. You're fucking dragging her out of a shelf there, Loretta. So are all three of you… Dragging and pushing a shelf. Are all three of you approaching Loretta?

Maybe I'm like nervous and I'm like, Jesus, go talk to her. I know she likes you. Okay. She's like flicking her cigarette into the ashtray. It's like, hey, Loretta. Hey, Jesus. Hey, Loretta. Hi. How's it going? Oh, you know, pretty good night. He blows it into my face. Right into your face. Wow. You know, just any other night in the prime of my life. Is that stronger than it usually is? I got strong lungs. And Jesus takes him… And he puts it in front of his crotch.

And in his head, he's just like, why did that turn me on? A lot of people tell you cigarettes are not so good for your lungs, but I found… I can still blow like I used to. It's not so much the blowing as the sucking. Jesus immediately takes stress. No, there's no reason to. He's covered in flops. There's absolutely no reason to. It's such an intense situation. His hope is through the roof. Is it doom? You take a doom? I take doom. Full doom. I get doomed by Loretta. Oh, you're doomed.

Don't you worry. But Jesus, Jesus like goes, okay, Loretta. Whoa. A woman as keen-eyed as you would have maybe seen something the other night. Do you remember our friend Sage coming in here? Little redhead? Oh, Sage, sure. Yeah? Yeah. She's a nice girl. Was there anything weird going on when she was in here? You're going to roll for it. Can I roll? It's either connect or sway. Connect would probably be closer. I have more in sway. So sway would be… It's a lie, right?

It's not that it's lying, but it's more like trying to get someone to come over to your way of thinking. Connect is like, you're just chatting. Yeah, it's just a connect. So remember, I don't determine positioning or effect, but you can decide to go for broke or play it safe. Can I never stop to think? Go ahead and read never stop to think. Never stop to think. When you go for broke, you get a plus one D if you agree to take a minus one D to resist the consequences from your action. And I…

Do you think this situation is risky enough that it would warrant a reckless move like that? I think there's a social recklessness in what he's thinking of doing. All right, I'll take it. He said he leans forward and puts his hand on Loretta's hand. Take my breath away. And this cigarette is sticking up between your fingers. The… Yeah. Totally. He takes it from her. And then I take a drag off of it. Great, yeah. And then I blow it. You can taste her lipstick. And it tastes really bad.

It's 70s acrid wax. It's bitter. Yeah. Super bitter. So many bennies died for this lipstick. And then I blow it in her face. Uh-huh. I would really appreciate it. If you gave me any of the goss you might have. And then at that moment, Sterling puts a coin in the jukebox. Uh-huh. And take my breath away. Okay, yeah. Totally, yeah. So I guess I'm offering to fuck her. It sounds like what you're doing. Or whatever. Ew. Yeah. Take my breath away doesn't come out for 10 more years.

What were the love songs in the 70s? Oh, the Angel of the Morning. Yeah. Oh, just call. Call me Angel. That's the morning. What was the song from the 60s? Well, that song came out in the 50s. But yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I guess. Sweet. What's that one? Mr. Sandman. Give me a drink. But wait. Angel of the Morning? When did that come out? 81. Fuck. Holy shit. How do we not know anything? Okay. What came out in the 60s? 70s love songs. Mr. Postman. Mr. Postman. Bring me a post.

Literally, let's get it on by Marvin Gaye. It was 73. Okay. Okay. What's that? Oh, nice. Let's get it on. Right. Oh, perfect. I've been really trying, baby. Yeah. Try to hold back this feeling. Oh, man. Yeah. So long. Holy shit. And Sterling does that to retaliate against me taking his coffee. He can see how uncomfortable you are talking to Loretta. And he's like, I'm going to juice this a little bit. My back is wet. So much sweat. Oh, man.

But then Rosie's looking at Sterling like, let's get it on. Yeah. Oh, no. Oh, fuck. You don't have any more coins to change the song. And then Tiffany's just sitting by herself in a booth. I'm not giving you anything. What are we doing here? What are we doing? Okay. There's a trucker at the counter that starts turning around to Tiffany. And she's like, no. And he's like, all right. Absolutely not. That happens. That happens. That happens. Merlady. Merlady. No. Okay.

Everyone starts trying to desperately make eye contact. I say, no way, Harvey. And he says, fair enough. He says, 10-4. 10-4, good money. And then from outside, you hear. He just drops money on the counter, gets up, and leaves. All right. So you're rolling with a plus one die here. Yeah. Because you're going for broke. Going for broke. Which means that the consequences of a failure are even higher. Yep. Yep. Okay. Please. Please. Six. Six. Six. There you go. That's a six.

So she reaches over and takes the cigarette out of your lips. Puts it back in her mouth. You know, now that you mention it, there was a weird guy in here. Hadn't seen him before. Seemed kind of, I don't know, strung out. Strung out of hair. Oh, you know how all those. All them city folk are. Always on something. Them and their substances. Taking a little, like, hotel vodka. She opens a pill bottle. Yeah. She's got a little box of Quaaludes next to her. Seems like he was strung out on something.

Describe more how she was. Like, how was he strung out? Well, he looked like jittery. Oh. Yeah. Like a jittery. Like a jittery guy. And you know, now that you mention it, he left not so long after your friend. Mm. Hmm. So she, like, came in, had her omelet, and left, and then he followed her out? Yeah, he tried to. I think he tried to. Look, I've been followed by a man or two in my time. They're always coming after me. They're always coming after me. Yeah. Men are like dogs, and I'm like.

Can't walk them all. A choice piece of me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.. That's so good. Men are like dogs. Can't walk them all. But so, you know, they like to sniff around and he was trying to be casual about it. Subtle. But I think he was following her. We hope you enjoyed this teaser of the most recent episode of our Up All Night playtest.

Up All Night Up All Night Up All Night Up All Night Up All Night Up All Night right but people don't really openly talk about it yeah I love that it is in a boom yeah it's like oh yeah a while ago oh yeah I guess there was a period in the 60s where a bunch of people from the town just kind of disappeared and no one ever saw them again but we don't you know there was a time in the 40s when my grandfather told me that all the dogs turned on everyone one day what there was one day when all the dogs just flipped yeah and then we didn't have dogs for a while that's canonical for sure yeah in the 1940s all the dogs went nuts one day yeah okay friend yeah yeah so like the town archives there's like one old person who's like oh yeah I know I got it here let me get the book can you back your dog up please I got it I lived through the dog days of summer okay there's a hard uh hard leash rule yeah all dogs on leash every business in town has a no dog sign you little chihuahua muzzle just in case that's why bylaw bill is so important it's kind of mostly the dogs yeah yeah you put that dog on a leash right now I'll fucking like behind his back like ma'am ma'am talking to the dog ma'am okay so I think I can I think I can guess the kinds of dog you're just going nuts today yeah off the chain paul's paul's trying to establish a brand as the bad boy abdul is trying to establish my yeah my brand yeah so in terms of tone then we'll think just because this will help us figure out our characters is the tone more heroic the most heroic or the most horror so heroic being like guns blazing we're shooting monsters and kicking ass or five being like these are the most heroic things that we're doing right now we're shooting monsters and these are terrifying creatures that we are struggling against oh I think for like kind of like a limited play thing I like the heroic let's do it because I but I like the heroic with the flavor of kind of like the goofiness of a 90s action movie yeah you know that thing yeah it's john mcclain sliding around the vents his feet are all cut up uh-huh you know shower yeah kind of like rush hour that kind of heroism okay so we're gonna do a rush hour no not okay okay okay okay Rush hour.

90s action movie I could think of at the time. Well, 70s exploitation movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's like the kind of heroism where Chris Tucker like- That's Rush Hour. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. It is the kind of heroism where like a Jackie Chan- Okay. Yeah. I'm with you. High noon. I'm with you. Slides through the ticket booth. Okay. That's Rush Hour. Yeah. That's Rush Hour. That's Rush Hour. Where Jackie Chan slides down a really long banner at a Chinese- Yeah. That's Rush Hour.

At the museum. Okay. Yeah, you're doing Rush Hour. Okay. Is that saying Rush Hour 2? Is that Rush Hour 2? No, that's Rush Hour 1. No, that's Rush Hour 2 because it's the casino. It's like when you're in jail and then you like pee on some sheets and then you use the sheets. That's Shanghai Noon. That's Shanghai Noon. Yeah, that's Jackie Chan's Shanghai Noon. It's when you and Owen Wilson are in London- Brothers. Brothers. And your brother is a tennis champ.

You're hanging out with Big Ben, the front of Big Ben. That's Shanghai Nights. Okay. Yeah, Shanghai Nights. Yeah. Yeah. And the Brothers one. And you're on a train. Darjeeling Limited. And you're on a train. That was Royal Tenenbaums. Oh, okay. Sorry. All right. So somewhere between Shanghai Nights and the Royal Tenenbaums is where we're going. It's Rush Hour and Rush More. Okay. Yeah. All right. Cool. I'm going to go with like a two because I'd like it to still be kind of scary at times.

Or not kind of scary, but not like you guys are invincible killing machines because we're looking at normal people in Bushwick who are aware of the unnatural part of the town. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. You know what I mean? I'm sorry for the question. Yeah. What did you say? Oh, are we aware? So does Heroic? You mean we're really aware of what's happening? No, this is just the tone.

It's either like action is heroic is like action is expected and it is and you are capable or horror is like a monster shows up. We're fucked. What are we going to do? Maybe we- 28 years later, the trailer for it. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. So I think we can still have heroism at the end. Like, you know, we pulled it. Exactly. So. Okay. Yes. Then I think it's more horror than heroic because we're not- We're not expecting. We're just regular people who are dealing with this thing. That's true. Yeah.

We're just working our regular jobs. Look at our regular lives. My regular job is I have a rifle shop though. I'm going to go- There he goes. The bad boy of the RPG community. I'm going to put a three. I'm going to go three again for that. Our game is rated. We're doing PG-13. Which is the one that you can swear in? R. NC-17. NC-17 I think has boobies. No boobies. No boobies in NC-17? Well, we don't know about boobies yet. No, I'm saying no boobies in our podcast. Oh, no.

No boobies in our podcast. Right. Yeah. We've never had boobies described in our podcast. I think it's true. No, we've had- No, we've described boobies in our podcast. We've described boobies. But we had boobies at once. I don't know. Billy was pretty obsessed with the boobies for a bit. Oh, yeah. True. But you were just obsessed with the word boobies, right? You just didn't know what they were. He just hears Tuck say it in his sleep all the time. That's true. He's like, I've got to find out.

I think the only person we've seen at Topless is Victoria LaBlanche. Yeah. I don't even know if we saw her top. No, she was nude yet. Yeah. I'm going to say rated R. Yeah. We can do violence and we swear. Yeah. Oh, my God. And then rated R exempt boobies. Boobies exempt. Yeah. I think you can have people that are topless in rated R movies. Yes. Yeah.
