VOID 1680 AM Playthrough
Back into solo RPGs we go! This was a really fun one. Let’s dig in.
As a personal goal lately, I’ve been trying to be more intentional when I listen to music. Do it actively, not just as a background wash, and with good headphones, and it’s been a great experience. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know my books often put me in a position where I have to write lyrics, so listening, really listening to them, is becoming a fun mental exercise for me.
Enter today’s game, VOID 1680 AM, by Ken Lowery of Bannerless Games. You play as a radio DJ, who has access to an AM channel, and that’s about it. The book guides you through prompts that help you build your song blocks, as well as generate caller requests as your broadcast goes on. The game creator encourages you to actually record your voice breaks, as though you were on the air! I had a blast playing this, and am really looking forward to doing it again. I was also lucky enough to convince my friend and GM Michael to create some callers for my broadcast, and he knocked it out of the park!
And to continue to shake things up! Ken at Bannerless also allows player to submit their playlists and voice breaks and airs them over on YouTube. You can watch mine below, and be sure to check out the back catalog for even more amazing shows!
