The Jukebox Only Plays Fireball | Boomtown Ep. 2 | Actual Play TTRPG

Welcome to Boomtown, a wholly original creation from the mind of Alexander Cabana. Boomtown is set in a post-apocalyptic Miami after some great catastrophe has destroyed the world as we know it. Magic and advanced technology intermingle. We follow our heroine Allkah! A once powerful goddess who cared little for anything but herself. She has had her powers stolen and now is trying to survive in this dangerous world. IN THIS EPISODE The camera pans over a half-bombed-out city where a "Welcome to Miami" sign has been painted over with one word: Boomtown. Witches fly by on Swiffer WetJets, pixies in Mad Max gear get eaten by a mutant alligator, and at the center of it all sits Fire Bar. It's half burned down, the drinks are cheap, and the jukebox only plays Pitbull's "Fireball." We find the party settling in for the night: Allkah is trying to plug a futuristic karaoke machine into the bar's mystery electricity (not easy in lobster oven mitts) so she can preach to the crowd. Miss Pippy is standing at the jukebox, barely holding back from smashing it. Jimmy is distracting Garb, the troll bartender with eyes all over his body, so he can swap people's tequila for vodka. The Duchess is lapping beer out of her stein, tail thumping, while tiny mutant rat folk catch the drips in shot glasses. Then we meet Cynthia, everyone's favorite 50-something waitress, and each player shares how their character bonded with her. Allkah can feel Cynthia's genuine belief in people, a flicker of the divine power she's lost, and promptly ruins it by being a 17-year-old menace. Cynthia once calmed Jimmy's wild magic by reminding him the world has already ended, so there's not much left for him to break. She fed The Duchess and actually appreciated her help instead of taking advantage of her loyalty. And Miss Pippy, a former show animal, trusts Cynthia because she's done time too, and hopes to learn how Cynthia keeps her rage in check. Along the way we learn Jimmy's magic might be the reason the jukebox only plays "Fireball," and a floating head in a jar of green goo ("Queries with Professor Gast") begs Miss Pippy to smash it. Then a rat trips Cynthia, her tray of drinks lands on a table of Mad Max raiders, and their chainmail-speedo-wearing leader stands up with a threat.
