We recorded with green screens in a studio and used a virtual production set up to add in different backdrops and lighting depending on the scene we're in, which is just cool as hell, and is something we've not really seen people do in the Actual Play space!

If you know us here at Hearthfire Tales, you know we're usually primarily an Audio only podcast, but lately we're moving into doing more video stuff (after spending a shit load on cameras)! But we really went all out for this one!

It's spooky season!

And we played a Game called Slasher Flick to celebrate! It's designed to emulate Slasher films (surprisingly enough) and it does so very well!

"Yuh uh! Gnarly Dude! Watch me absolutely nail this trick!"

Jim is playing Noah Miller!

Transferred from California to small town Indiana after his father's death, it's all up to him to look after his mom.

But his spirits are high, and he's got the right philosophical quote for any situation!

"My grades, perfect! My sports stats, perfect! Nothing else matters!"

Dylan is playing Tyler "Lance" McHenry.

Captain of all the sports teams and valedictorian of all the classes, nothing will stop Lance getting into Harvard Law School for Medical Business, not even, a killer?!?!

"Omg that's like, so dark and twisted, i like it"

The only thing Raven cares about is herself, and she better fucking win prom queen this year or she's going to riot!

Will Raven make it to the end, or will she end up a feast for the crows?
