Teaser #1: You’ve Been Warned

Meet Nella and Lucio, the hosts of Narrative Damage—a TTRPG podcast about chaotic campaigns, unforgettable characters, questionable decisions, and the emotional damage we willingly sign up for every time we sit down at the table. Consider this your official warning. Welcome to Narrative Damage.

Teaser #2 Will You Roll With Me? 💕 | A Narrative Damage Dating Show Special.

Welcome to the hottest dating show of the ’90s… except nobody’s dating and somehow we ended up talking about TTRPGs. Meet your hosts: Nella, a fun-loving Aquarius with a weakness for fictional characters, questionable dice decisions, and emotional damage she absolutely brought upon herself—and Lucio, a mysterious Scorpio who has also made the terrible decision to turn his TTRPG opinions into a podcast. In this special Narrative Damage teaser, we’re introducing ourselves the only reasonable way: like contestants on a wildly dramatic ’90s dating show. Bad rolls. Character trauma. Unnecessary attachment to NPCs. And two hosts who definitely have opinions. Welcome to Narrative Damage—a TTRPG podcast about the games we play, the characters we love, and all the emotional damage we collect along the way.

We Rolled a Nat 1 on Scheduling

pisode One of Narrative Damage was supposed to drop this week… and then two TTRPG players attempted to follow a schedule. Critical failure. Consider this one last teaser before the real chaos begins. Episode One officially drops Sunday, September 13th. TTRPG stories, questionable decisions, emotional damage caused by imaginary people, and two hosts who apparently have no proficiency in scheduling. Welcome to Narrative Damage.

#MonthOfDarkness Day 1: The World You Left Behind

Month of Darkness Day 1: The World You Left Behind Prompt: The World You Left Behind Featured Character: Fae World: Vampire: The Masquerade For Day One of the Month of Darkness Challenge, Nella steps into the memories of one of her Vampire: The Masquerade characters: Joséphine Adélaïde Évelyne Baptiste Devereux, better known as Fae. Fae is a French-Caribbean Toreador, descendant of Helena, who has spent more than sixty years as a vampire. But before she was Fae, she was Joséphine. A daughter. A sister. A mortal woman with a home, a family, and a life she once believed would last. When an unexpected artistic frenzy pulls an old memory to the surface, Fae finds herself painting something she hasn't allowed herself to truly look at in decades: The world she left behind.

#MonthOfDarkness Day 2: A Feast for the Damned

Prompt: A Feast for the Damned Featured Character: Astra World: Vampire: The Masquerade For Day Two of the Month of Darkness Challenge, Nella steps into the mind of one of her Vampire: The Masquerade characters: Astra. Astra believes morality, guilt, and religion are chains, and she has every intention of teaching others how to break free from them. Tonight, with her ghoul Ellia beside her, Astra is on her way to secure an investment for her newest venture: Morrow & Vale. To the people it attracts, Morrow & Vale will offer liberation. They’ll come believing they’re consuming Astra. Her image. Her body. Her attention. Her love. But Astra sees people a little differently. They think they’re coming for the feast. They don’t realize they’re the dessert.

#MonthOfDarkness Day 3: The Monster You Love

Prompt: The Monster I Love Featured Character: Fae World: Vampire: The Masquerade For Day Three of the Month of Darkness Challenge, Nella returns to the past of one of her Vampire: The Masquerade characters: Fae. Long before London, Fae lived beneath the watchful eye of her sire, Lucien Devereux, a Toreador elder who could be impossibly gentle with his favorite creation and utterly monstrous to anyone he believed had wronged her. Tonight begins like so many nights in the Devereux household: classical music, charcoal against paper, Sebastian nearby, and Lucien’s hand gently stroking through Fae’s hair. Then someone from the previous night’s Elysium arrives at their door. Someone who had cornered Fae when she was alone. Fae knows exactly what Lucien is. Because sometimes the monster you should fear most... is the monster you love.

#MonthOfDarkness Day 4: Song of Rage

Prompt: Song of Rage Featured Characters: Serin, Lukas, Fae & Astra World: Vampire: The Masquerade For Day Four of the Month of Darkness Challenge, Nella and Lucio are giving four of their Vampire: The Masquerade characters a chance to be angry. Because rage doesn’t always scream. Sometimes it burns hot and reckless. Sometimes it waits quietly beneath the surface. Sometimes it wears a beautiful smile, follows every rule, and patiently waits for someone to finally push too far. Through a series of short rhymes, Serin, Lukas, Fae, and Astra each reveal a little of what lives underneath. Different wounds. Different warnings. Different monsters. But the same rage.

#MonthOfDarkness Day 5: Reality is Negotiable

What is reality? For Day Five of the Month of Darkness Challenge, Lucio brings us into the edited memories of the Malkavian Lukas. Pages are erased, changed, and replaced all together. This is Reality of Negotiable

#MonthOfDarkness Day 6: A Dream Worth Dying For

Sometimes a dream seems unattainable. For day Six of the Month of Darkness Challenge, Lucio brings forth the memory of the Tremere Kindred Rune from when he was still Human. While one person may believe a Dream can be achieved, to another it may be Death. This is A Dream Worth Dying For

#MonthOfDarkness Day 7: What Keeps You Here?

Prompt: What Keeps You Here? Featured Character: Fae World: Vampire: The Masquerade For Day Seven of the Month of Darkness Challenge, Nella returns to the story of Fae, her French-Caribbean Toreador whose relationship with her sire, Lucien Devereux, has shaped nearly a century of her existence. Before Lucien Embraced her, Fae spent nineteen years as his ghoul. He has been her protector, her lover, her sire, and the center of a Blood Bond that makes separating love from devotion, possession, and supernatural compulsion almost impossible. But Damien, Fae’s own ghoul, sees their relationship from the outside. After witnessing another one of Lucien’s rages, Damien holds Fae as she retreats to the safety of her studio. This time, he finally asks the question neither of them can ignore anymore: What keeps you here? For one brief moment, Fae allows herself to consider the answer. She considers the fear. The pain. The decades spent returning to Lucien no matter what happens between them. She even considers what leaving might mean. Then there’s a knock at the door. And Lucien smiles at her. Because sometimes knowing you’re trapped isn’t the same thing as being able to leave. And sometimes the person hurting you is still the person you desperately want to run home to.
