Full cast Crime and Mystery Longform Audio RPG


Synopsis:

Call it a love-letter to a 20th century that never was; an intrepid, impossible future as envisioned by an imaginary past and presented in a style we call "Curated Actual Play". It's a continuous story universe which pays tribute to all of my favourite fiction from the last 200 years, in a genre best described as 'epic, retrofuturistic science fantasy.' Whatever you call it, it's a story like you won't hear anywhere else. • RAPSCALLIONS is our flagship series; a crime-caper set in a wicked city as corrupt and byzantine as it is ancient and beautiful. From the putrescence of the Styles to the splendour of the Hightower District, follow this felonious fellowship as they navigate from salons and saloons to parlours of power in the depths of the Dreaming, and back again. Now in our third epic season! • TALLWATER TALES follows a plucky bunch of outcast academics as they discover a destiny bigger than they'd ever dreamed possible lurking in the hundred thousand islands of the West Rim Archipelago. It's eldritch action-horror on the edge of the world, swashbuckling excitement and plenty of chills in this don't-miss new series from Runelanders, the World's Greatest Retrofuturistic Fantasy Epic. Fridays, from Mad Atom Studios.
