This is probably the most in-depth soundscaping I've done for an actual play. It was like scoring a movie. A funny, touching, balrog sex-referencing Christmas movie. It was a blast!

This was a hoot to record and it’s got a very punny title

We were so busy being thankful for YOU, that a new episode snuck right by us! We're at The Last Homely House!! Everyone stay calm!!! The Fellowship reaches the safety of Rivendell, but even in this shelter against the shadow, doubts and danger lurk… www.athrabethnetwork.com/athraplay-ep...

Am listening to the post-season Round Table for AthraPlay, and I'm loving hearing all the thoughts! But I am surprised that the Melian conversation didn't tip more people off, because I spent what felt like most of the Season thinking to myself "So, there's no way Morinor is an elf, right?"

Spooky season may be over but that doesn't mean it can't continue on AthraPlay! James, our loremaster, always delivers... From Episode 22: The Storm www.athrabethnetwork.com/athraplay-ep... #lotr #actualplaypodcast #ttrpg #podcast #dungeonsanddragons
