    Reign - Nagalisitu - Agents of ALIS - Part 25

    This campaign will touch on many themes, including genocide, slavery, racism, specism, harm to children, and mental health issues, among others. Listener discretion is advised.

    As the Agents continue to recuperate, Silent Reading comes back to teach a lesson to his cult. A lesson involving... cooking?

    Agents of ALIS is based on the campaign framework Nagalisitu by Caleb Stokes, for Reign second edition by Greg Stolze. Reign 2E has been released in pdf and is available at Atomic Overmind, while the book with the information on Nagalisitu has not been released as of posting. We are using a Kickstarter backer version of those rules.

    Genepals are references from Kyle Carty's Starstreamers from BPB Games.

    Adam - GM

    Dan - Roscoe Holst - The human pilot of the Hypatia, and descendant of the... legendary? line of Holst, a family that always seems to be near when galactic history changes.

    Ethan - Silent Reading - A Murnau spy, perhaps the person most suited to the work of the Library. Whereas his twin brother Cheerful Humming is much more of an open book, Silent Reading keeps to himself, trusting few...

    Greg - Kyrt Howling-Echo - A gengineered half-human half-Murnau, he is the former Genepal League champion. Kyrt has "retired" into aiding the Library of Alexandria as a patron. Never without his beloved Genepal Pep Pup, or his second best friend Sol-Edge.

    Jared - Captain Kai Uhila - The human captain of the Hypatia. Kai is a bard as is the nature of those who helm the ships that travel the galaxy. A bit of a drunk, a bit of a lech, a bit of a loose cannon, but someone with a strong sense of justice.

    Laura - Tema Miles - A humanish logistics & security expert on the Hypatia. She wears her heart on her sleeve, and will rip yours out of your chest if you cross her, the ship, or her young ward Libby.

    Fear & Panic - Bryson Springs

    This scenario will feature cosmic horror, but also racism and classism. Listener discretion is advised.

    Regardless, they are drawn in to the murder of a Chinese man in the Hooverville under mysterious circumstances. These circumstances will bring the three and the rest of the town into danger, and it will take their all, and maybe a bit of help from a familiar gun, to survive the fear and panic and worse things...
