A blue graffgoyle sits on a blue-stained couch watching a VHS copy of Wild Style. He holds the can of Blue Demon. This filthy studio apartment contains a hoarded menagerie of hip hop cultural keepsakes. Four bedecked pillars are each dedicated to his love of the culture: turntablism, rapping, breakdancing and his favorite, graffiti. He can’t pay his bills, but he’s happy to share his passion for “graf” or challenge you to a rap battle, DJ competition or dance off.
Can of Blue Demon: This magical can of blue spray paint has six separate powers that can be unlocked the wielder tags a structure with a power word: LOCK (lock or unlock all the doors). SHOW (see the outlines of the people in the building like X-ray specs). PAL (someone in the structure acts as if they’ve been your close friend forever). LORE (knowledge of the building’s history). LOT (the power to cloud minds, the building’s there, but people can’t see it). HIVE (look through the eyes of a randomly determined occupant, and hear what they’re thinking. Jump to another person within sight). Instructions are written on the can.
Corruption: You slowly turn into a blue graffgoyle everytime you tag a power word. First, your spray paint finger turns blue, then your arm, then your entire body. You’re fully turned after 12 uses and now turn to stone in sunlight. You can spend 6 hours power washing the Blue Demon tag to remove it from the structure and from your corruption total.

This episode is sponsored by Exalted Funeral, and we talk about Lilliputian: Adventure on the Open Seas by Matthew Morris.
It’s an adventure game about exploring the vast and expansive ocean, filled with uncharted islands, hidden treasure, weird weather and unspeakable horrors. Character creation is fast, fun and random, classless, and relies on fictional advancement. It is based on Mausritter by Isaac Williams, Into The Odd by Chris McDowall and Cairn by Yochai Gal, and more.
