Cape Escape 2 - Session Zero #3 (Keaton)

For viewing only after seeing part 2 of Cape Escape 2.

Serving Time

Sandals fanart by CrimsonRabbit

Written by Toaster Williams

Seven years. Seven years to work on himself, to stay vigilant. Seven years of opportunities to slip, to make a mistake, to throw away everything he’d worked towards. But he was no fool, he played the long game. He would not build this house out of cards but instead construct a prison: No way out, no chance to break free until he had served his time.

Sandals Bueller had built himself a life...

Cape Escape 2 - Session Zero #2 (Character Creation)

In which we build our character sheets in Call of Cthulhu.

Jet: Seven More Years

Cape Escape 2 Jet WIP Sprite by Aeria Quies.
Written by Keith

-

Jet had gotten fat.

There was just no avoiding that fact anymore. There were a lot of things that he could blame for making him resemble a giant Sno Ball, not that it would change anything. He was getting old, sure. A coyote can’t eat and, well, drink like he’s in his 20’s forever. Everyth...

Cape Escape 2 - Session Zero #1 (& early art!)

We are awakening from our slumber with the early stages of what will become Cape Escape: Season 2! Kah is returning as DM, Aeria Quies is once again the artist, and our players this time around will be Keith, Toaster, Illusory Wall, Marty, and Horrorbuns!

Check out the video above to see us discussing where our characters have ended up seven years later, what ruleset we want to use this time, and what the scale of the story should be.

As a bonus, here's a peek at Dakota, H...

Conrad: Horizon Watch

Art by CrimsonRabbit

Written by IllusoryWall

The sun is beginning to set and my shift on horizon watch is coming to a close. The shadows flooding the contours of the desert take the same predictable shapes as they do every day, with bigger variations only being noticeable to most people in different seasons. But I made a game out of guessing precisely where a few...

Lynn: Dos Corrientes

Written and drawn by Horrorbuns.

"Say, stranger, you ever heard of Dos Corrientes?"

I down the last bit of my warm beer while I wait for a response that won't come.

"Well, can't imagine anyone has at this point. For all I know the place is probably burnt to the ground by now. I'd wager most folks here haven't had the supreme displeasure of steppin' foot in the state of Tex...

Argo: Acting the Hero

[Early Argo concept by Horrorbuns]

Rain

Things had not gone well for the marten, known by no one, as Argo.

He had been hungry, but the cold had taken that from him about an hour ago. Rain streaked through his coat, greedily lapping at what little heat remained in him as he sat, shaking, on a plateau of mud amidst the chaotic spatter of a thousand murky puddles. The youn...

Deadlaws - HD Backgrounds

Here's a look at the gorgeous background art AeriaQuies produced for Deadlaws. Will update this as new locations are unveiled.

Final Update 3/12/2024.

Animated Intro WIPs

Keith here,

I commissioned an animated intro for the channel from Alexyellowthing, and just thought that some of the collected WIPs would be a neat patreon thing. I still need to finalize the audio, as the vocals were just me giving a timing reference on short notice, and there should be SFX and whatnot.

If you're in my Discord, then you know Alex's style from my server's (and personal Telegram) stickers:

I'm caught off guard every time I reckon with how many characters we had lol

Cape Escape Main Cast HD Sprite Art

These sprites didn't originally talk, so a few of them actually have three versions because their first iteration had a partially open mouth, but then the need game for a fully open or closed mouth.

Beyond Boxcars - Taslin Beck

Taslin Beck should have died today. He was among the worst of the worst, and not a single tear was shed when he left this world.

What came back was even worse.

A look at Taslin Beck's backstory written by Toaster.

Deadlaws - Nicodemus Proctor

Player: GeorgeSquares 

He should have listened to the bees.

Nicodemus Proctor, descended from military men back east and expected by all rights to follow in their bootsteps, found a new life for himself out west on the frontier after discovering a rapt fascination with the transcendentalist philosophies of Thoreau, Emerson, Fuller, et al.

Now, he weren't the first fella to start a...

Deadlaws - Chance

Player: Marty 

Look, it ain't really cheatin' if everyone out here's doing it. At some point it just becomes another layer to the game. Keep your poker face up. Watch for tells. And keep their attention where you want it so when that extra card slips into your paw, they won't know what hit 'em.

Now, that's not to say the hustlin' life is an easy one. Charl...
