We broke the Sun, but not before it broke us. Now it is time to take back our world from those who have stolen our history, using the powers that grow from our land and community. Stories of a Broken Sun is an actual play podcast in an original, anti-colonial sci-fantasy setting. Through a series of seasons and side stories, we use a variety of indie tabletop RPGs to explore different facets of this world. Learn about the cast, setting, systems, and more at brokensunrpg.com, or follow the show on twitter @BrokenSunRPG.

episode 2: Operation 1.1 - But That Train Keeps A Rolling
The Misfit School for Interdimensional Travel is not supposed to conduct research without oversight from Concord Lagoon. Everyone agreed to this restriction after their thoughtless pursuit of power led to the Pop and traded parts of the Pox'd Cauldron for parts of other dimensions, displacing hundreds of citizens to unknown fates.
Unfortunately, the thirst for knowledge is not so easily ignored, and Tirzo Pallakeen and his team of underground engineers traded favours and technology to the morally flexible Free Realms Commission in order to construct a train that can traverse dimensions.
As tends to happen with technology created without considering ethics, that train has run away and is gradually destroying the fabric of reality. Now it's the Myriad's problem-- and if they can't handle it, it could be everyone's problem.
