I recently started listening to @funcityventures.bsky.social on actual headphones, and I have been really impressed by the audio design. No spoilers, but "What Took You So Long" has been an absolute joy to experience.

It’s discussed a bit in the ep but this was one of the more surprising single games I’ve ever played at the table and it was SO fun and weird. Huge shouts to Bij, Jenn and Shan for FULLY committing.

The second episode in our CY_BORG series Sunk City is out this morning! Meet Mo, Yarisa and Doris - analysts for the megacorp Accord Engineering Personnel Systems and Services Dynamics Inc, and, maybe more importantly, quite the Zoneball team. For Omae+ patrons

on the plus side the abandoned data centers will eventually be amazing underground music venues

Ok, so the question here is: what if the Oldboy hallway fight scene, but overtly sexual for some reason? @funcityventures.bsky.social answers.

many say this. many are saying this exactly. become one of the many

It's a Crimesmas Miracle

hello. if you navigate your web browser toward the link twitch.tv/funcityventures at this very moment you'll find a "live stream" with the crew of "fun city." thank you for your attention to this matter.

holy shit

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

more and more people are saying this!

Actually amazing actual play. Danse Macabre is super fun and easy to pick up, and this historically accurate sesh (with vampires, magnetokinesis, pus-homunculi, and other *classic* medieval tropes) proves it. Big ups to @funcityventures.bsky.social for joining us and making ye pod!

Chums! Today there is a new @funcityventures.bsky.social about putting on a costume and going to a big party where there's a witch but somehow it is NOT (??????) about Halloween????? Wild. It's here, and also wherever you listen to podcasts, and it's a good one 🐉

A fun bit from Danse Macabre actual play with @funcityventures.bsky.social crews “The Blood Thieves” You can watch the full session at YouTube.com/@stillfleet . . . #rpg #ttrpg #tabletop #actualplay #funcity #ap #GritSystem #DanseMacabre #Medieval #Horror #RolePlaying #livestream

You (wise, fun, cool, etc): damn my favorite pdocast fun city... when are they going to release a new episode. Us: Ha, to the wise one spoils do accrue! You'll find in your podcatcher a "surprise" from us, just for you. fun-city.simplecast.com/episodes/57-...

Hello! Today on the @funcityventures.bsky.social feeds, a BONUS episode: audio from the stream me, @bijan.bsky.social and Jenn did with @timespace.place and @stillfleet.bsky.social for Danse Macabre's Kickstarter campaign! Does someone say the phrase "tiny pus clone"? Well! Listen and find out!

🚨bone cone alert 🚨

A spooky story for a spooky season. Don’t let this happen to you. Tune in here! funcity.ventures

Fun City (2019-2102)

Oh where do I begin? @wingwomenpod.bsky.social playing Night Witches @monsterhourpod.bsky.social specifically Season 2 playing Absurdia Obviously @talesyettold.com @bladesofmayari.bsky.social Filipino-Canadian led FATE @funcityventures.bsky.social despite Shadowrun being very much over-designed!!

I’m sick of people who don’t live in the Boston-Atlanta Metropolitan Axis complaining about it. Most people in America live under The Sprawl’s Fuller domes. Tired of tourists that are scared of taking the trans-BAMA local because they saw a Lo-Tek. Grow up!

Incredible bonus episode, excited for the next installment! Sound design is 👌 throughout and it's always a treat to hear @taylordotbiz.bsky.social play as a PC.

I'm drinking the Bios Crash slurpee I hope it crashes my bios I hope I blue screen

To be clear on what’s happening here: over 100 House Ds joined the Rs to pass crypto legislation that will allow corporations to issue their own money.

"gig workers call ICE on their immigrant coworkers who they view as competition" is a pretty concise summary of the 21st century, cybourgeoisie class warfare as a way to discipline labor. sourcenm.com/2025/07/11/r...

Great. My daughter found out about Netflix's "Bright" (2017) and wants a "Bright"-themed graduation party. I have to dress up in fairy makeup and pull a sidearm on her friends going "Hands up, motherfucker ELF" and "I'll shoot every fucking pointy ear ass elf I see". I'm assuming. Haven't seen it.

is it a dystopia yet where you probably have more predictable and consistently applied rights in Disneyland than outside it

lmao the PERFECT first reacts to this post, please listen to @neoscum.bsky.social and also @funcityventures.bsky.social which are both truly spectacular shadowrun actual plays

Only @funcityventures.bsky.social would go from the poetic abstract of sacrificing memory to escape a flesh elemental into a notice of debt entering collection and talk unironically about facing each. Genuinely felt inspired and heroic. Being mildly okay in 2025 is to be a Shadowrunner.

my bandmate found the most cursed object on facebook marketplace: a cpd land acknowledgment medallion. is it located in the suburbs? yes! does the seller have a punisher pfp? you betcha!

Palantir used to have affinity groups and DEI as late as 2022, and I had the logos saved on my phone because they pissed me off so much and of course they buried those pages. But I never forgot.

chummers! we've got a surprise: a new piece of merch! it's a hat featuring one very sexy minotaur. if you're one of our very dear and valued patrons, you can find the link to it and more details here. if you're not a patron... well, it's never too late to join! www.patreon.com/posts/hector...

big news: a new episode has landed. play it in your podcatcher of choice, or right here funcity.ventures/episode/56-g...

You should all check it out: funcity.ventures

It's great tho. Reasons to check it out: 1) It's very 'The Wire'-y, explicitly concerned with feedback loops between AI, markets, and bureaucracy as three forms of automation/optimization 2) The players' cultural references and vibe is kind of chic art-punk instead of classic nerd

There's a really cool, really good Shadowrun actual play podcast ('Fun City Ventures) that's been running for years and I'm one of like 500 patreon supporters for, which honestly feels weirdly intimate
