The Adventure Zone: Just Us

Just Us is a (so far) one-shot campaign played live in Atlanta in 2019.

Synopsis
''We didn’t get to record at our usual time due to weather and power outages, so in lieu of a regular episode this week, we dug into the archives and found TAZ: Just Us, a live show Travis GM’d in 2019 in Atlanta!

For this show we played SuperNormal (designed by Ursidice), and our crew of super heroes attended just your average, every day company picnic. Of course, trying not to blow your secret identity is tough, especially when you can’t control your super-strength enough to squeeze ketchup onto a hotdog.''

Premise
Earth's music is in vogue again. Playing at the interplanetarily broadcasted Grand New Opry are several bands. The headlining act will attain untold riches, fame, and fortune. The openers... well, let's just find out what'll happen to them.

System
The system used for Hootenanny is called "Lasers and Feelings". The system is based on a 6-point scale from "lasers" (toughness, fighting, etc) to "feelings" (emotions, communication, etc). PCs have a stat from 1 to 6 that establishes their tendency towards one or the other by virtue of weight. Players roll a d6 on this scale when they choose to take an action. Depending on how adept a PC is at the action which they are trying to take, the GM may grant the player more d6s to roll, at which point the level of success depends on how many of the d6s land within the correct range.

Rolling below the stat counts as lasers (and is therefore preferable when one is rolling for lasers and unwanted when one is rolling for feelings), and vice versa for feelings. Rolling exactly equal to the stat is called "Laser Feelings", and counts as a success either way. Alternately, players can cash in a Laser Feelings roll to ask the GM one question.
