I rarely use IG stories, but I wanted to share some new (to) me 2025 shows! Check out these AP series! @youseethehat.bsky.social  @bigcampaignpodcast.bsky.social  @rainbowdiceclub.bsky.social  @messycritprod.bsky.social  @talesyettold.com  @wingwomenpod.bsky.social  @storysquadcast.bsky.social

What a year! With 2025 almost behind us and 2026 on the horizon, we're going to give ourselves a little #christmas holiday to rest and relax. We will be back in January with a two more new #stormlight #rpg episodes, and then we'll be starting a new #vaesen storyline that we can't wait to share it!

Oh my gosh! RPG Major **AND** @oneshotpod.bsky.social together for Last Train to Breman?! I've gotta listen to this one!

Our heroes tumble into a sinkhole, only to discover a lost treasure of incredible value. But greed may drive a wedge between these childhood friends and thwart their quest. Join us for another #stormlight episode presented by @brotherwisegames.bsky.social  https://www.spiritsandmonsters.com/ #rpg

Hi friends! The campaign for Bite the Hand is still going! It's a lean RPG of rebellion in the gritty future. With tons of cybernetics and GM tools, it's got all the cyberpunk gizmos you need! https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/spellbook-gaming/bite-the-hand-cyberpunk-panic-engine-ttrpg #cyberpunk

In real life, I am vehemently opposed to tyranny in all of its forms, but for improv comedy and random dice rolling? Leaving me in charge is comedy gold!

Our heroes discover dangers lurk amongst shortcuts... will they rescue Dunan or wind up lost and forgotten? Join us for another episode of the Stormlight Archive RPG sponsored by @brotherwisegames.bsky.social  https://www.spiritsandmonsters.com/ #stormlight #actualplaypodcast

CROWDFUNDING NOW! Bite the Hand is a cyberpunk TTRPG using Mothership’s Panic Engine to bring a touch of horror to the genre. With dozens of cybernetics and items, the core rulebook contains everything you’ll need to experience tense action at your tables! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

This was such a fun and intense episode to record!

Happy Halloween! 🎃 As is an annual tradition, I started my day by watching the incomparable Tim Curry belt out this song from the Worst Witch. https://youtu.be/PUhuPn8_d0Q?si=EvvbsMBKE8NnzGSE&t=37 Stay #spooky today!

In our latest episode of #vaesen by #freeleaguepublishing we reach the greatest danger of the Corbitt House. It is, of course, #toads Oh, and a monstrous vaesen intent on drowning them. But mostly toads. https://www.spiritsandmonsters.com/ #oldseattlepod #actualplaypodcast #rpg #horror #spooky

Something terrible lurks in the cellar of the Corbitt House. What has warped this strange #vaesen and will our investigators be able to banish it? Join us tomorrow and find out! #oldseattlepod #spooky #podcast #horror #actualplaypodcast #callofcthulhu

Wooo, they are officially using Free League's Year Zero Engine!! Just like what we play with #vaesen -- I love this game system, so I can't wait to see it in action!

This week we shared the awesome new #vaesen series High Society by Crit and Fumble! This brand new #actualplaypodcast series just started, so it's the perfect time to catch up! Craigdarroch Castle in Victoria was also a bit of inspiration for the Library, so check it out! https://critandfumble.com/

This definitely applies to small online businesses and creators too!

I really enjoy Tangled Blessings by @cassi.mothwin.com so I might need to check this one out! Plus, early game design stuff is always fun!

This could definitely be useful for anybody playing a Vaesen game set in Mythic Britain and Ireland!

On our latest episode of #vaesen by #freeleague our investigators enter the Corbitt House. The evil place tries to break them body and mind. Join us, and see if anyone makes it out... alive!  https://www.spiritsandmonsters.com/ #oldseattlepod #haunted #callofcthulhu #actualplaypodcast

I'm so excited to share that Phoenix won the Best Player Character award at @njwebfest.bsky.social !!! #feelthemagic #award #letsgo

We are so excited to share that this November will will be part of @nzwebfest.co.nz ! While we probably won't be able to fly out this year, we cannot wait to watch the show online! Wish us luck!!! #oldseattlepod #awards

Oh this is 1,000% in my wheelhouse.

We are just DYING to share this #episode of #vaesen by #freeleaguepublishing with you! Our investigators head out to meet an undertaker with an unusual problem: he's just purchased a #haunted house. Join us for an adaptation of a classic Call of Cthulhu scenario! https://www.spiritsandmonsters.com/

Every #rpg has confronted the dreaded locked door, and there are two different approaches to opening it. You rarely get to see an #actualplaypodcast try both at once! Join us for gunfire and laughter on our next episode playing #alien and see who survives! https://linktr.ee/facehuggersandfriends

Our new #mystery is built around a real #seattle institution! The Butterworth and Sons Mortuary served Seattle's dead and departed for years. Of course, who knows what may have haunted the location before then... Join us and find out! #oldseattlepod #horror #actualplaypodcast #ttrpg

Have you been enjoying some of our amazing new #music recently? Many of our latest tracks on the podcast are done by artist Thwhalee! You can find them on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/@thwhalee7792/videos Check out their incredible Vaesen music and follow them on Patreon!

No new episode this week since we are working on extra projects! Check out my new limited series @fandf-pod.bsky.social  with the folks from the Umbrella Podcast Collective! New episodes drop every other Tuesday! https://linktr.ee/facehuggersandfriends #alien #alienrpg #actualplaypodcast #rpg

We are so over-the-moon to share we have been selected for THREE different categories by @njwebfest.bsky.social  It's such an incredible honor, and on behalf of the entire cast we are so excited that #WeGotIn !!! Hope to see y'all in New Jersey for the awards!

The gang is back together on our latest #episode of #vaesen by #freeleaguepublishing - and it's time to welcome home Sofie! Everyone has a relaxing time and *nothing* explosive happens. I'm the Gamemaster, and I'd never deceive you, right? Don't worry about it! https://www.spiritsandmonsters.com/

I'm so excited to share this project! We've been working for several months and this show has been a blast to make! Now to see how many of these characters survive to the end...!

I cannot wait to play the full game!

I love this artwork so much! The absolutely amazing art by @garnouilleart.bsky.social is so wonderful and has so many amazing details!

@tyrantpodcast.bsky.social has brought so much excitement and energy to the role of Lucky that he's a breath of fresh air, which is saying something in space!

Paul Reiser was such a great addition to Aliens as Burke, because he always reminded you of just who the Weyland-Yutani Company is. We'll need to see if our show's company man played by Stephen from Midday Movies is trustworthy or if he'll screw everybody over for just a goddamn percentage.

The Murder of Maury Miller story continues on Patreon! We are playing #shadowdark and have our first combat encounter. It honestly goes pretty much exactly how you'd expect it to. Find out if Ronnie makes it for just $1 USD by joining our Patreon! https://patreon.com/SpiritsandMonstersofOldSeattle

This is interesting in terms of Vaesen, because there actually isn't a ton of inherent randomness to the game. I'd almost like to see some randomness introduced into the vaesen's actions based on the number of Conditions they've taken.

RPG content and donating to a good cause!

63% is better than half, but that number could be a lot better still! Make sure to check out Bite the Hand and sign up to be notified when it goes live! It's a fun game and I for one *need* to play the full and finished version!
