Apollo team: Release Schedule and project information

@crlf @nytpu Possibly, it was Battle for Wesnoth (https://www.wesnoth.org/)? :drgn_think_confused: It has some addon, where you play for a dragon, who should defeat an evil knight to return kidnapped hatchlings. It was "Flight to Freedom" (or "Brawe Wings" dunno remember).
UPD: Uh no, it was "Flight to Freedom" and it has a completely different plot :drgn_woozy: :
> "Flight to Freedom chronicles the story of the drake hero Malakar, and his desperate cross-country flight out of slavery.
The hero, Malakar, and his tribe have been enslaved by humans, and Malakar must free the tribe and take revenge on his oppressors."

A new release of one of the @wesnoth campaigns I maintain, "Dawn of Thunder" version 0.2.5, is now available on the BfW 1.18 add-on server! This update is mostly just for compatibility with the latest upstream stable release of Wesnoth. Here's the corresponding GitHub release:

GM Note for Echoes of Invasion:
Thank you for sticking with us to the end of our Wesnoth campaign! I had a lot of fun scouring #BattleForWesnoth materials to flesh out our stories, so thank you to all the creators who work on the video game. https://www.wesnoth.org/
We play with Genesys rules but special thanks also to Tana Pigeon @TanaPigeonWMG for the #MythicGMEmulator. Many a time, the seed for a session came from two words rolled on her subject/action tables. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/20798/mythic-game-master-emulator

Small achievement: Managed to configure the Steam controller for #BattleForWesnoth, so now I can play it on the big screen. 🎮 (The tricky part was getting the controller's mouse emulation work under Wayland, but then it's great for mouse+keyboard games!) BfW is still one of the greatest games of all time, if you ask me, and it simply never gets old. 🧝♂️ #Gaming

Campaign finale arc begins today!
New #DiceyStories arc for #ttrpg #ActualPlay #Wesnoth: Echoes of Invasion:
Device Plot – At the culmination of a year spent adventuring, Tric and Heppa find themselves facing down not an evil villain, but their own allies. Thrandolil’s research project finally comes to fruition, and its repercussions will long haunt those who survive the day.
This arc contains references to the #BattleForWesnoth campaigns Eastern Invasion and The Hammer of Thursagan.

GM Note for Echoes of Invasion:
(continued)
I don’t feel like I managed to make my drakes quite as intimidating as the ones in the #BattleForWesnoth video game, but I was still glad to give Drake Gliders and Clashers some air time. You also got to hear Tric spout lore about Flamehearts. As for other units from the video game, this #ttrpg combat let us see the pinnacle of saurian fighting prowess, the Flanker, as well as a return of our old friend, the Mudcrawler.

GM Note for Echoes of Invasion:
Mainline orcs in the #BattleForWesnoth video game don’t have magic. For Gugdish, I again took inspiration from the expanded units in the UMC campaign A War of Life and Death, which includes the Orcish Conjurer. Some of the other orc units that inspired me were the Orcish Assassin and the Orcish Warlord. We’ll see other units from the video game as this arc continues, including Goblin Pillagers, a Wraith, and a new unit for our characters, the Nightgaunt.

GM Note for Echoes of Invasion:
The #BattleForWesnoth video game has a take on orcs and goblins that I hadn’t seen before. They’re the same species, as are half-orcs. The different designators arise from the physical capabilities of individuals. Orcs are the strongest, half-orcs are less muscular, and goblins are considered runts. This then sets their social standing. This doesn’t come up much in any of the mainline campaigns, but I used it to inform how I portrayed my #ttrpg NPCs.

Hej drodzy FOSSGracze! 👋
Przypominamy, że już dzisiaj czekają nas rozgrywki w Battle For Wesnoth od godziny 19.00. Serdecznie zapraszamy wszystkie osoby, które z grą nie miały styczności (albo miały jej mało) do wspólnej nauki gry.
Gramy na najnowszej stabilnej wersji gry, czyli 1.18.3.
Ponieważ jeszcze nie mamy ustawionego oficjalnego serwera FOSSGralniowego do Wesnoth, skorzystamy z serwera alternatywnego server2.wesnoth.org (o ile dzisiaj wstanie) albo głównego.
Zbiórka standardowo na naszym serwerze Mumble 😇

#ArtAdventCalendar for today is the map I drew for the tabletop roleplaying game campaign I ran inspired by the Battle for Wesnoth video game. The only original content is the area around Estbryn Forest on the edge of the Estmark Hills. I made that up so that the players could be young adventures starting from an obscure place, which would explain why they knew so little about Wesnoth itself.

GM Note 1 for Echoes of Invasion:
There are no trains in the #BattleForWesnoth video game, at least not any of the campaigns I’ve played. So why do these dwarves have a train? Well, while contemplating this rematch with the dwarves of Untdunben, I rolled on the Mythic GM Emulator’s event meaning tables for inspiration and got Develop and Vehicle. Mining tracks are well-established in the video game, so I decided they weren’t all for carts—some were for trains.

GM Note for Echoes of Invasion:
This arc, we used a number of #BattleForWesnoth video game units to help flesh out our story. Tric imagined Breda as an Elvish Captain. Quemilya’s magic theory discussion was influenced by the Sorceress write-up, as Tric’s training is by the one for the Elvish Lord. And some of the rapid-seeming changes in the society of our short-lived saurian allies came from the descriptions and artwork of such units as Skirmisher, Ambusher, and Soothsayer.

Yes! My acquaintance with FOSS games began back in school when one friend from computer club handed me a CD with lot of small games and an early version of #BattleForWesnoth. From there I have discovered the existence of free software licenses and so on. So that was a life-changing experience, really

GM Note for Echoes of Invasion:
The players really enjoyed the festival early in our campaign, so I gave them a chance to experience another. Inspiration came from a lot of places. For one, Pupsi has Youtube videos where he carves vegetables into ocarinas and then plays pop music. Another inspiration was a renn faire with a melon catapult. The pitchfork competition was based on sand shoveling at another fair and that the #BattleForWesnoth Peasant unit has a ranged pitchfork attack.#GMTips

The #Steam integration with #ChromeOS is a wonder. I really have to commend all the work #Valve and #Google have done.
I installed Steam and some lighter games on my #Chromebook and the installation was seamless without any hitches or tinkering.
One videogame (Wargroove) was missing its intro video but that was about it.
Steam took care of installing and automatically selecting all the #Linux runtimes and #Proton versions. I wasn't involved in any way.

GM Note for Echoes of Invasion:
Most of the NPCs in the fight today are units from the Battle for Wesnoth video game that we’ve already seen in earlier encounters, like Ruffians, Shadow Mages, and Efa the Bandit. The only new one here is Tric’s merfolk friends, who are based on the Netcaster line.

GM Note for Echoes of Invasion:
The exploration of the space under South Tower was heavily inspired by combat maps from the Battle for Wesnoth video game. Cave terrain frequently has mushroom tiles, mining cart tracks, and old fortifications. And if you see a big stretch of water, you can be pretty sure a Tentacle of the Deep is lurking in it to attack any of your units that get too close!

A new release of one of the @wesnoth campaigns I maintain, "A New Order" version 1.7.0, is now available on the BfW 1.16 add-on server! This is a major content update with lots of changes!

GM Note for Echoes of Invasion (cont.):
Why did the Silver Age end? Why did Wesnoth fall to ruin again after that? Well, one outlandish theory from my players was that Konrad II had actually died long before history records it, and various nobles were keeping that a secret. That idea is what led to Merriver’s righteous rage about the treatment of her father in court.

GM Note for Echoes of Invasion:
#BattleForWesnoth inspired a lot of specific events and NPCs in our #ttrpg campaign. I leaned heavily on the closing events of the Eastern Invasion campaign, even quoting from the epilogue where Gweddry and Owaec are granted their rewards. But one specific part of the video game’s lore that stood out to me was that the period after the war with Mal-Ravanal is considered Wesnoth’s Silver Age—but it only lasts the length of King Konrad II’s reign.

We finished our 3-year #BattleForWesnoth #Genesys #ttrpg a few months ago. By then, I was out as #asexual and my spouse as #trans, which meant more open conversations about sexuality between us. Looking back at the whole campaign now, we saw that my wife’s PC, the outgoing half-elf/half-human ranger/bard Tric Manu is #aro and #ace. I must admit, I have never understood the trope of horny #bards. If you’re interested in one who definitely is not, check out our #DiceyStories #podcast. #AceWeek
