Friends at the Table listeners, you should try @unexploredcast.bsky.social and @someplacetobe.neocities.org they both have a lot in common with FatT in terms of vibes and caring deeply about characterization

Canaan Kaal is AT LEAST two of these

My favorite TTRPG classes: 1. Competent Butch Lesbian 2. Incompetent Butch Lesbian 3. Arrogant Little Rich Boy 4. Mean Yiayia 5. Guy Who Hates Their Job Soooooo Bad

anyway I said a while ago that this season was gonna be a weird one where we're taking some big creative swings around what the show is and what making it looks like for us, and I'm very excited now that one of those is something I can talk about!

Memento Mori: A Selection

THERE SHE IS! my first ever full-season player character! I'm so excited to put her through the fucking wringer this season

and our final player character, Christine's character Canaan Kaal, a reformed(?) criminal with unknown motivations

y'all ever think about how good East Haven Heights vol. 2 was?

and introducing our second party of player characters, starting off with Chris' character Ursho, known to most by his mask and the pseudonym Vespid

And @unexploredcast.bsky.social (Christine GMing there too) has several FitD campaigns in their archives. The way they're run is very conducive to learning.

@cprevas.bsky.social, @itscap.bsky.social, @quinnmajeski.bsky.social, and @dreasilvertooth.bsky.social have a Blades 68 Actual Play and it's really really good. It's patreon only, but worth it. Christine is one of the best FitD DM I've ever seen.

This week, on The Stormwrought Shores, Pest Control.

The Complete First Version of #LIGHTSIDE is here! This Pbta TTRPG captures the magic of Hope and Optimism found in the #StarWars franchise created by George Lucas. Find the game here! No credits required, it's free! ianmauldin.itch.io/light-side Join the Official Discord discord.gg/Szqbpj8A2U

The secret to being good at TTRPGs is to enjoy it immensely when shit goes as fully wrong as it possible could (Yes this is about Blades '68)

people are always saying "be a fan of the players" and not enough people are saying "be a fan of your GM's obviously twisted machinations" 🙄

Quinn about a super suspicious devil’s bargain: I don’t, I don’t think so. I’m sorry. Christine: Even when I sounded that excited about it? @cprevas.bsky.social Precisely BECAUSE you sounded so excited about it. 😂😂😂 #TTRPG #ActualPlay #EchoChamber #Blades68

and finally, rounding out our first party of PCs is Roman's character, the undead elf Malys Ashmyr

next up is Andrew's character, the human mercenary once known as Cyros Redblade, but now just called Cyros

This week, on The Stormwrought Shores, The Razing of Aramyr.

anyone have recommendations for a ttrpg system that would (1) be good for telling a story about resistance fighters during wartime, that (2) isn't extremely historically or setting specific? ie., not something like Night Witches (great game, but not what I'm looking for right now)

hey if you enjoyed Covenant and you have a game crafter account with points on it, my brother designed a cool game called SCHRODINGER'S KITTENS that you can vote for in game crafter's current design contest! www.thegamecrafter.com/contests/fur...

the good news is, I can tell it's almost summer by the fact that I had started working on TWO potential summer zine ideas so if anyone wants cool mail this summer keep an eye out

Back on my great outdoors, pacific northwest, verdant horror, audio drama bullshit 🌲

apparently I can no longer highlight anything in google docs without a fucking AI "refine" pop up getting in the way jesus christ

This episode features: @quinnmajeski.bsky.social as Edmond Wallace @cprevas.bsky.social as the Realtor Sarah Golding as Ellen Peterson (squawkvoices.com/voice/sarah-...) Northwest Gothic is a love letter to the grandeur and terror of the PNW wilderness. Listener discretion is advised.

And now, the FULL TRAILER for THE TERROR: DEVIL IN SILVER. I’m going to say this trailer “rips.” It might even be “a banger.” This show has taken four years of my life. You finally get to see it May 7th. From @victorlavalle.bsky.social, Karyn Kusama, Ridley Scott & me. LOOK AT THIS CAST!

I'm already crying about space so a reminder that @jonbois.bsky.social maybe made the best piece of art of the 21st century so far here www.sbnation.com/a/17776-foot...

Unexplored Places is about the only Actual Play I've actually managed to persist with listening to, and that's because it's such good quality. As a long-term GM, I find the quality of narrative and worldbuilding delightful and it inspires me to push myself creatively.

The Unexplored Places is one of my favorite podcasts and Christine is one my favorite storytellers. Their skill at worldbuilding and creating weighty narrative choices is unparalleled. Get them AND yourself a present and go listen to the Unexplored Places! unexploredcast.libsyn.com

And that's because Christine is BUSTING THEIR ASS day in and day out. Getting their literal doctorate. Writing a whole ass game for the new season. And still somehow they seem to have hobbies? And a social life? When they say New York never sleeps thats just @cprevas.bsky.social doing it all

You SHOULD be listening to the unexplored places if you are an actual play fan. Especially if you like forged in the dark or pbta games. Not only is it full of banger episodes incredible characters funny bits and amazing music, but it also has the most consistent release schedule I have ever seen

today's my birthday & I would love it if, to celebrate, you all checked out @unexploredcast.bsky.social, the actual play podcast I've been producing for 9 years! we just started a new season! & if you already listen to Unexplored Places, celebrate my birthday by convincing a friend to listen!

This can't possibly be true but I feel like this episode of Echo Chamber is the first time I've ever heard @cprevas.bsky.social do an accent

after editing all of The Emerald Bloodletting I forgot how easy it is to edit a normal episode that doesn't have seven people talking at once

weirdly learning a lot about hydrology in prep for this season

I agree

if you've been meaning to get into The Unexplored Places but don't know where to start, the first episode of our brand new season is a great place to jump in!

The unexplored places will be like "nice city mind if we tear it asunder?" And not wait for an answer. We got rifts! We got ruins! We got portals! We got oceans! Where do they go? Middle of the city! Fuck your walkable infrastructure!

Our story begins, as all good stories do, with its history: a feud between two noble houses that irrevocably shaped the very landscape of Alkyon.
