This episode we dive into the delightful game of Brindlewood Bay, a cozy murder mystery TTRPG by Jason Cordova. Our players will take on the personas of Murder Mavens, a group of elderly women who investigate and solve crimes! They have entered the Jolly Good Baking Show as contestants, but when someone turns up dead, it'll be up to them to save the day!


Disclaimer: The game has more mystical elements to it, but we went with bit more of a generally cozy story, as a lot of those elements work much better in a multi-session arc, at least in our game that was true.

Camp Kingdom Come [Actual Play]

Mon, 26 Jun 2023 09:00:00 GMT

For our final Pride Series episode, we are playing Camp Kingdom Come by WatcherDM. A tabletop adventure about being summer bible camp counselors at the end of days. The players took on the role of counselors and were each responsible for 6 campers for the week. Will all their campers survive? Will they find Jesus? Or will a Cthulhu type monster consider them a tasty snack?

A big thank you to the devs of this game who were incredibly kind and helpful in adapting some of the game mechanics for online play too!

CW: This game does include death of campers (teens), and there's a subplot focused on conversion "therapy" as well. I would say the conversion content is fairly light, but it is there and want people aware before they listen.

The Era of Superheroes

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 12:00:00 GMT

In a sea of Marvel, DC, and other comic book properties turned into tv and movies, I sit down to talk with guests Amma Marfo, Chris Chedrawi, and DJ Kelly-Quattrocchi to talk about the state of the comic book entertainment world.

Join us, as we recount some of our favorite moments, some of our frustrations, and some of our excitement for the future!

We do talk about Black Panther 2, but not until the end of the episode, to avoid spoiling for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.
