I would be remiss if I didn’t mention my own podcast. We spent a full season playing Absurdia on @monsterhourpod.bsky.social, exploring the surreal suburban town of Somewhere and its peculiar cast of characters. Perfect if you’re looking for a long-form, story focused actual play of the game.

Is character creation actual play? Hard to play without a character, so I’d say yes! Plus there's no way I'd miss a chance to share this episode from the wonderfully absurd @literalcatpod.bsky.social, where we create a cat possessed by the living embodiment of rumors and gossip.

Absurdia actual play week continues with @shrimpandcrits.com Whimsy World! This seven episode mini series is a great extended example of play in a more narrative forward format. The weird and wild post-apocalyptic amusement park is also an excellent showcase of an alternative setting.

Absurdia actual play week! When it comes to APs there's only one place to start: the definitive @partyofonepodcast.bsky.social A local purveyor of peculiar objects must scramble to protect his collection after his store becomes the abrupt subject of a surreality TV storage wars show

Greetings subject, If you've failed to listen to the new episode of Our Lives in the Wood, the grace period is closing soon. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. It's time to dream again. Ft. @lurzblurbz.bsky.social as Dr. Robert Jennings #ttrpg #actulplay #OLitW Link below🔽

Do you love playing a little guy in over their head? Do you miss seeing the strange and surreal with fresh eyes? Do you enjoy seeing how long you can survive in play to lose games? For you, my little lamb, I present the second new playbook coming to Absurdia: THE NEWCOMER

Tag yourselves we’re Tour Guide Workshop Leaders

Writing a GM section is hard. So instead I wrote down every role I could imagine that a GM might play and instructed the reader to kind of figure it out themselves as they go

Happy Monday, dear listeners! Got a brand new episode for you tomorrow. In the meantime, Archie explains food-grade weaponry. #monsterhourpod #monsterhour #cityofmist #ttrpg #actualplaypodcast

Playbook Week 2: Entropic Boogaloo! Incredibly stoked to share that the (Meta)Physical edition of Absurdia will feature THREE brand new playbooks that I’ll be previewing this week First up, an archetype so abundant in absurdist media I’m embarrassed I didn’t include it earlier: THE ANIMATED

Wrapping up the week with one of the more unique playbooks in Absurdia, THE ZEITGEIST Do you think it’s unfair that weird hive minds are always cast as villains and you never get a chance to play them at the table? Not anymore

Some of the absolute raddest things you can hear as podcasters. Thank you so much for the kind words!

Thanks for creating such a magnificent show that I often double-feature episodes despite already having an enormous queue backlog It's also the only time I have listened to an AP, thought "I need to run this game immediately," did so, and was so inspired I started making a living, shared setting.

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!!

PATRONS! The first set of outtakes from our third season are HERE! Please enjoy all the goofs that didn't make the cut from season 3 episodes 1-10, featuring lego philosophy, 90s nostalgia, litigious shrimp, cameos, vegetarian doctrines, and so much struggling. www.patreon.com/posts/s3-arc...

Next up on Playbook Week is a perennial favorite at the table: THE CURIO A collector and purveyor of powerful and peculiar (some might say cursed) objects, the Curio pairs an array of strange abilities with the ghoulish charisma of a used car salesman.

⛺️🌲⛺️ OUR KICKSTARTER FOR SEASON 5 IS LIVE NOW! 🌲⛺️🌲 From Inside the Tent is our 5th podcast season and will be our most ambitious yet. Join three friends as they roadtrip across the U.S. in 1987, encountering strange happenings along the way. 🔗 www.kickstarter.com/projects/5gm...

Playbook week continues with one of my very first Absurdia fever dreams: THE BUREAUMANCER A practitioner of the Bureaucracy’s byzantine arcana, the Bureaumancer excels at burying problems under red tape, paperwork, and occult municipal code 👇

Duncan Oliver, my boy!

PLAYBOOK WEEK This week I'll be previewing one of my favorite parts of Absurdia - the peculiar, outlandish, occasional madcap list of playbooks inspired by the game's absurdist touchstones. I had a heck of a time picking where to start here, but in the end I kept coming back to THE VOX 🎙️

🏒 📕 NEW GAME MASTER MONDAY 🔦 🌧️ We play THIS GAME TAKES PLACE IN YOUR HOMETOWN! Will two best friends, the final survivors in a small town, be able to find safety? Or be caught by The Hunters? AVAILABLE NOW WHEREVER YOU ENJOY PODCASTS
