A great way to please me is to kiss my NPCs or kill my NPCs.

TFW a player remembers one of your minor Side Characters from several months ago 🥰😊😘 TFW a player remembers one of your minor Side Characters from several months ago and slaughters them in the first five minutes of the ep 😍🥵😳🔥🥳 That's The Between at its best. kittenmarlowe.com/episode/shad...

People got pissy with me in in the late-2010s for saying I dislike it when players dump a bunch of backstory on me in the first session, so I made a whole-ass system where, in order to tell your backstory, you have to slowly kill your character over 12-15 sessions.

In line to vote. They’re saying it will take an hour and a half. Time for some @kittenmarlowe.bsky.social!

If you’re not following @vynvox.com’s Kitten Marlowe liveposts, then I don’t know what to tell you. You’re missing out. They are bringing me continual joy. (Listen along if you want the ✨context✨)

Still awestruck to see LEGENDS in the Gauntlet & CfB community not only listening to my scrappy little show, but enjoying it! I’m so proud of the work everyone is doing at Kitten Marlowe, and I *do* think it deserves its flowers. But AP is such a huge ocean, I’m still surprised when we’re noticed!

Thank you so much! So glad you are enjoying it! (I believe @iamatrex.com is single-handedly responsible for our huge download spike today…)

We love Masks, and we love Issues especially. Welcome back!

Can't wait to catch up!

You like eldritch horror? Do you like the strange patterns of the Fair Folk? Do exhausted old men in fiction kinda do something for ya? Well this is a podcast episode for you!

The hunters of Hargrave House:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SALLY NO FACE AHAHAHAHA

Has anyone else ever been so distracted after a fight with your roommate that you inadvertently stress-eat a human finger and summon a pagan swine god, or is that just me? kittenmarlowe.com/episode/shad...

@callmebilly.bsky.social Ive been going back and relistening to @kittenmarlowe.bsky.social's Shadows in the Smoke and it's pretty much a perfect blend of Audio Drama and Actual Play using updated The Between rules and mechanics. Such mastery of the form. Check it out: kittenmarlowe.com/smoke

*stares directly at my sapphic character running The Vessel playbook* Well then

If you're lucky, you get both! God I love The Between.

“Everybody’s gay and/or possessed by a demon.” The Between, in a nutshell.

👀

If you aren't already, you should really listen to Shadows in the Smoke. Incredibly atmospheric, with rich characters, some deep dark and delectable depravity, all using the frankly inspiring system The Between Episodes are short and packed. youtu.be/Lvkl_HqKnKg?...

I’ve definitely said “noooo” in a similar cadence so many times when a certain Keeper won’t let me be on my bullshit with no consequences. 😂

No, hunters, you’re supposed to *stop* Mistress Beaumont 🕷️… While this exchange from our AP of The Between did get cut for both time and tone, we nevertheless had to share the outtake! The Spider Silk Seamstress IS that girl.

We love shows supporting other shows! KM is 15 eps strong right now, and it’s the perfect time to get caught up!

Ran a session zero last night for a new Memester project. The right people at the right table? Guaranteed magic, I swear.

Our spotlight this episode is @kittenmarlowe.bsky.social, an LA-based artist collective currently in their first season playing The Between: a gothic horror ttrpg of monster hunters in Victorian-era London. Be sure to check out their promo during the midroll!

Hi, welcome, come on in! Food on the table, drinks are in the fridge. 🧺🍔 The plot thickens as our heroes attempt normalcy. Duff catches up. Archie cooks. Bo makes a friend. Listen here: buff.ly/qvFaHoh

I want to shout out @vynvox.com because too many TTRPG companies are sleeping on his skills at being a professional hype man for games, APs, reviewers, and more. Vyn takes the time to not just engage art, but inhale it. Vyn finds the time to play the games, watch/listen to the APs, & shout it out

This is an amazing AP podcast!

Umm umm ummm @kittenmarlowe.bsky.social pat yallselves on the back for such tight editing and instant draw in and I’m not saying that bc the table is playing every playbook I’ve played and the one I want to the most

@vynvox.com live posting a listen through is everything to us today 💕

HELLLLL YEAH I saw KM on TikTok, and I can’t WAIT to listen.

First episode is less then 60 minutes, which tells me this is an actually edited AP! Retweeting just for that tbh.

I watch a LOT of the Between. this is EASILY a top tier Between game. it's also great for people who like -found family -but it's FUCKt UP -folkloric & historical deep cuts -men who are tough kind & dirty -cinnamon rolls, too soft too pure -women who can step on me -clever magicians -pajama parties

We are ~25 listens away from hitting 2k downloads, which is HUGE!

Me: yay, we finally did a cute and cozy episode in my AP of The Between! 🩷✨🎀 Also me:

We are a cast of proud Angelenos. Happy to support this great charity bundle!

The No ICE in California charity bundle on itch.io is set to launch on July 4 to support two incredible Immigrants Rights organizations, RAICES and Immigrant Defenders Law Center. Bookmark the bundle page here: itch.io/b/3110/no-ic...

I haven't gotten to this scene yet—having only discovered this AP tonight and so far only getting to Ep 3—, but I cannot wait to. Every moment so far has been excellently set, every character interesting, and I have been sold on The Between so very completely.

One of the moves in @jasoncordova.bsky.social’s The Between is Taketh Away, which requires you to destroy a Side Character physically, spiritually, or socially. And yet, nothing could have prepared us for the social devastation that was laid upon Dame Teasdale in our latest ep. I love this game…

"We have far more TTRPG systems than we could ever need." Correct, 100%, no notes. "We need to do something about that." Yes, we need to make more. We're just starting to get good at it.

[Exit King.]

It’s hard out here for a fledgling non-DnD show, but I can’t be thankful enough for all of the early support Kitten Marlowe and Shadows in the Smoke have received. We are even getting love from people who have only listened to DnD! Carved from Brindlewood really is that girl. kittenmarlowe.com/smoke

Considering Kitten Marlowe has existed for less than 2 weeks, this feels pretty awesome. I’ve loved @jasoncordova.bsky.social’s The Between for years, and I’m so happy that people are connecting with Kitten Marlowe and Shadows in the Smoke – even people who previously didn’t know about CfB games!

A big moment in the life of any AP podcast is your first instance of fanart. So pleased to get to share art of our beloved Maesie Douglas, as drawn by Violet_Skies. She is baby!
