First, let me apologize in advance for cross-posting this to the General Roleplaying thread, but I think it deserves a shot in each place. I'd suggest comments go there as soon as I've set it up unless it's system-specific, which may be, in which case it makes sense to go here.
Recently, because our group was doing some Teamspeak (voice over Internet) use anyway, I taped the session. Unfortunately the remote participant's voice echoes (I know what caused it, it's a feedback loop I can fix next time). Otherwise, it's fairly listenable. The reason I am putting it online is we rarely (ever?) get the opportunity to listen in on some distant game as a fly on the wall. So we're sharing it with you, my group is aware/okay with it. I cut out the chit-chat stuff, there may be a few asides, but most are character-related and anything that went on long I cut. I'm providing it out of hopes that eventually others will do the same so that I can hear how other people's games go.
The session is split into 5 sound files that I've released publicly (we have a couple others but they're so much background and campaign gab that was caught while I was sort of stalling hoping one of the players would join soon, as well as some irrelevant stuff). They're all at http://realschluss.org/misc_hero_boards/session-sound-files/ . Please note the beginning segment is admittedly pretty slow and it picks up only gradually until the 3rd segment (the one numbered as 5th, as it is that out of the whole series we cut), where things get moving a bit. There is no combat though (well, a little one early on but it hardly counts), although there are a couple incidents.
Some context:
PCs - Black Knight - brick with ability similar to the Monty Python Black Knight, he takes no stun but does take body damage, but keeps going until he's hacked up completely (loses abilities simliar to an Automoton)
Laughton - amazing intelligence, world's greatest detective, can transform into multiple very specialized forms as well as his alien base form as T'suara (a form of blinking lights)
Newman - formerly a robot with bits of a brain, now a "real person" with cyberkinetic controls and machine consciousness/mental abilities
Nexus, Master of Dimensions - the title says it, he can move through dimensions and uses dimensional-based magics; amazing intelligence as well
Sammy - shape-shifting and extraordinary imitator and social creature; alien life form, somewhat like Odo basically
Situation - Atlantis recently was discovered (long story), and is now open to outsiders for the first time in 30,000 years. The Atlantisians are descendants of a proto-human sort of race invented by aliens back then, the aliens were grays running an Egyptian-like civilization but long before Egypt as we know it arose (they built the Sphinx, not the later Egyptians). The President of the US and his delegation are going, and have the Justice Squad along as security, along with others, given the unusual nature of this. Three members (one not present at this session) of the Justice Squad visited the ancient civilziation the grays ran and the forefathers of these modern Atlantisians.
