The Talent Agency B-Sides Mission 3: Evening News

Does it surprise ya?
We’ll readjust and reconcile and recognize up
That I’m a writer
Oh yes I write up
Now open wide and let me put the night inside ya

The world of arts and entertainment is vast, and for every tale Phantom Arts Entertainment involve themselves in there are dozens more happening just around the corner. The soul of an artist is in everyone, and this is just a few of their stories.

The Talent Agency B-Sides are sessions held in RPG systems other than Shadowrun Anarchy. Same great cast, different characters. Another time, another place…


Times are tough at NBNUK North. We’re last place in an already small market and losing ground all the time. It’s not like much news-worthy stuff happens in this neck of the woods, and those bastards over at Horizon BritNews Yorkshire always seem to be one step ahead of us!

With advertising revenue drying up and people turning more and more to neural network-generated newsfeeds, sometimes you’ve got to get a little creative in reporting the news.

This mission was run in two systems – News @ 11 and Fiasco. News @ 11 is an improvisational card game where players take on the role of television newscasters, reporting on absurd stories. Fiasco is a GM-less RPG centered around selfish and impulsive people trying ruin each other’s lives. It’s supported with a number of fan-made scenarios; this mission uses a custom blend of the News Channel 6 playset and the Pink Mohawk playset.

The B-Sides theme music is Live at the Carmike by Tryezz. The recap music is The Chase by Tryezz.
