When I remember that Kitten Marlowe went from not existing to “fully cast, we have a website, first episode out, folks are on the patreon” in less than 25 days, I feel retroactively exhausted. So proud of what we built in those hectic weeks. Looking forward to the next year!

Featuring: Body Part Memories, some very confusing applications of firearms, concealed concealer, improvised projectiles, and something called The Liberty Express

Never before has a KM show contained so much laughter, and so much mouth foley.

Can’t say enough good things about Cap. His presence immediately improves all shows.

In a surprising turn of events, I won Best Game Master at the LA Web Fest for my work on Kitten Marlowe. To receive this so close to @kittenmarlowe.bsky.social’s first anniversary is such a nice cherry on top of what has been a huge labor of love. Feeling very grateful and excited for the future!

👀 coming soon to the Kitten Marlow feed...

Seconding this! Jason wrote one of our Season 2 themes and it does, in fact, slap.

Please I beg you, only get Jason of @memesterotwpod.bsky.social to compose a theme song for you if you want it to SLAP SO FUCKING HARD. I'm grinning so much right now.

One of the best podcasts I've ever listened to! If you're at LA Web Fest please go in my stead!

Heading to our very first in-person screening and Creators’ Q+A today at the LA Web Fest, where we are nominated for four awards. Looking forward to the ceremony tomorrow!

Back @kittenmarlowe.bsky.social on Patreon, and support a real person with dreams, passions, and bills who just wants to make a good podcast and pay people what they are worth. And in exchange, you’ll never receive a single Quip from me 🫡

KIM!!!! @kimdalton.bsky.social ME WANT MORE MOVIE!!!!

The Season Finale of Kitten Marlowe - Shadows in the Smoke is finished and ready to be released on Tuesday! Feels surreal that this year-long story is finally at its end. The cast smashed it out of the park. Kim, remember when you told them you thought this would be a 6 month commitment??

Kitten Marlowe just hit its 50th episode! I will save the reminiscing and reflection for our season finale in two weeks, just around our 1-year anniversary. But I’m very proud of the work we’ve done. There’s still time for the most industrious among you to catch up before the finale on 4/28!

At rehearsal yesterday, one of my fellow actors complimented me on how muscular my arms looked. And another, a few minutes later, referred to me as, "an actor, a musician, a singer, an athlete..." MUSCULAR! ATHLETE! These words have never been said in reference to me ever before! Made my day.

No pranks, just silliness. After keeping an iron grip on the edit for 48 episodes, Kim has released a blooper reel of every mistake and goof that was left on the cutting room floor. The full 23-minute version is on our Patreon for members at any tier, including FREE! www.patreon.com/posts/154297...

Sure I mean as a GM it’s my job to set up dominoes but I didn’t expect you to KNOCK THEM OVER kittenmarlowe.com/episode/shad...

It was not ENTIRELY my fault...

Whenever someone calls me meticulously organized, I am reminded of the fact that when among my immediate family, I am seen as the Type B, laid back, disorganized Dalton.

Not sure enough folks know that we have detailed transcripts available for every @kittenmarlowe.bsky.social episode available on our website kittenmarlowe.com/smoke. Every single one was hand-typed by yours truly, with no AI involvement at any step. More accessibility in the audio space, please!

Is there a better princess track in Romeo + Juliet than Tybalt? 17 great lines – all bangers. 3 scenes – all fun. A bunch of fights. Dead by intermission, and yet a pivotal driver of plot after death. It’s the dream???

😭

Wanna roll dice with us? Kitten Marlowe is currently casting 5 shows that will be going up this spring/summer. Commitments range from 2-3 sessions to potentially 12+ months, so there's something for everyone! Let's play some ttrpgs! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

The No ICE in Minnesota Charity Bundle has officially LAUNCHED! There are 1,439 games to discover for a $10+ donation to Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota! Purchase the bundle here: itch.io/b/3484/no-ic...

Oof. I’m really missing the days of classic forum websites and posts.

Can’t say enough good things about The Between. What other game lets you ask a question like this? Keep those players on their toes!!!

Robert, doing the final listening pass of an episode to add the show notes and content warning: “So obviously, a CW for Body Horror” Me, who forgets the specifics of episodes the moment I finish editing them: “Why???” 🤡

Recording a self-tape on vacation, far away from one’s normal setup, is such a humbling experience. Backdrop? My partner’s childhood bedroom. Lighting? A desk lamp and a prayer. Tripod? An iPhone leaned against a stack of books. Enjoy the Shakespeare monologue!

KITTEN MARLOWE IS FREE I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY TO LISTEN TO THE BEST AP TO TOUCH A PLAYBOOK.

Regular reminder that none of us in the TTRPG space are in competition with one another. We are ALL in competition with obscurity, uncertainty, confusion, and other ways to spend your time. And sometimes D&D.

A kinky, queer, sexy episode for those of you who want more explicit spice in your AP content. With a side of Greek gods, eldritch horror, and cannibalism. Something for the whole family! kittenmarlowe.com/episode/shad...

- Got married!! 👰🏻‍♀️ - Started @kittenmarlowe.bsky.social and launched our first show: Shadows in the Smoke, an AP of The Between. Looking back, I would not recommend DIYing a wedding and starting a podcast in the same ~6 months. But I also wouldn’t have done it any differently.

GET INTO IT

I ask you, is there anything more tense than a cordial meal with the game’s BBEG? Everyone so polite, yet brimming with violence…

It’s always DM can I roll for investigation and never DM can I tell you how beautiful you look right now? Absolutely, stunning sitting behind your DM screen plotting away at our collective demise.

Support 👏 your 👏 friends’ 👏 art 👏 Be like Percy.

@kittenmarlowe.bsky.social Y’ALL are the first AP podcast to put your money where your mouth is. I ADORE Shadows in the Smoke, and I haven’t caught up to a show like that since The Adventure Zone Balance. I can confidently call y’all The Definitive The Between Experience.

You heard her, folks

I tend to keep a pretty tight hand on Kitten Marlowe’s edit, and cut a lot of above-the-table chatter. But I decided to keep a brief player check-in towards the end of our most recent ep, after a particularly brutal in-game moment. Safety tools are a vital part of my tables. (1/2)

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

Oof. That push/pull of feeling guilty that downloads have dipped on the pod because I've been pretty quiet on socials for the last month or so (yay wedding!), but feeling exhausted at the thought of having to Get Myself Out There after a hiatus. Why must social media feel so mentally taxing?

Y’all, what I’ve read of this so far is FANTASTIC. I can’t wait to back this next year! Congrats Wes! (Oh, how I’d love to run this…)

Ahhh I’m getting married today

Patrons tomorrow. Everyone else, Friday. Can't wait for you to meet The Latchkeys. #publicaccess #actualplay @jessjewell.bsky.social @masquewren.bsky.social @jasoncordova.bsky.social @fkth.bsky.social

This is better than Christmas morning

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!

The hunters of Hargrave House:

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!

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...
