Neon Nights in the Oasis 2 – Deconstruction

Dennis Thurgood, Oasis Citizen of the Year, looks on admiringly as his boss Dexter, and his good friend Sputnik, exchange the former’s credit chips for the latter’s ‘goods and services’. In this particular case the ‘good’ being exchanged is a freshly decapitated head, and the ‘service’ Sputnik is providing could, technically, be classified as Private Security..?

After the money has been exchanged, and the head tossed into the limousine’s built-in swimming pool, Dennis notices several spots of blood on his bosses’ vehicle. He uses the hem of his shirt to wipe it up, when he notices sudden movement in on the sheer reflective coat of this extra-stretch limousine…

Neon Nights in the Oasis: Episode One

You collapse into your bunk, exhausted after the long day’s work, and begin and scrolling through your agent, looking for some new flashy content to take your mind off the day – when suddenly you stumble upon something that catches your eye. It’s a retro ‘2D film’, recommended to you by your agent, called ‘Neon Nights in the Oasis‘.

From the looks of it, it’s some old Callum Industries propaganda film… Claims it’s the ‘True Story’ about some guy named Dennis, and how he ‘Saved the Oasis’.

You roll your eyes, load the video, and settle back into your bunk. These old corpo propaganda films are usually worth a watch… If just for the production value alone.

The title slams into the screen of your agent, startling you a bit:

“This is…

Neon Nights… In the Oasis”

Halo ‘n’ Horns – A Short Story from the Oasis!

Hello listeners!

This week, instead of our regularly scheduled program, we’re bringing you a special segment that I call ‘Short Stories from the Oasis’. In these segments, we play a one-off session of some lesser known tabletop games and use it as an opportunity to explore some part of the Oasis that you wouldn’t normally get to see!

This week we’re playing Halo ‘n’ Horns – A One Page Comedy RPG by Connie Chang (@byConnieChang on Twitter). Connie is the GM behind Transplanar RPG, an all-trans POC-led D&D show about broken heroes trying to save a broken world. You can find out more about that group on Twitter as well, under the handle @TransplanarRPG.

You can also find Halo ‘n’ Horns, as well as other things Connie has made, at https://byconniechang.itch.io/ !

Visitors to Scott Yung’s Discount Cybernetics will quickly learn that Scott loves to talk about his products. He’ll go on and on about this cybernetic limb, or that neural enhancement, but one thing he’s never straightforward about is where he gets his product from. But.. if you manage to find him after he’s had a few drinks, and when he’s feeling particularly talkative, he may tell you the story…

Of how Scott Yung founded Scott Yung’s Discount Cybernetics.
