It's a little bittersweet that this will be my final big ttrpg event lurking in the group chats I can't wait for you all to see these casts and couldn't ask for a better way to close this chapter.

It would mean a lot if you stop by but I know you're busy.

❌ INTERLUDE TONIGHT❌

The Bar At The End Of The World has what you need to continue your Journey — even if it means looking at the past dead in the eye.

Our hiatus ends TONIGHT (10/4) at 8pm ET with a very special Interlude Episode of THE CHAOS PROTOCOL. Come for a meal and stay for the memories. ♣️

A promotional graphic for Transplanar RPG’s Interlude Episode. The graphic features a black background with dust particles, glowing white text down the center line, a red X, and cropped horizontal strips of professional headshots, centered on and solely revealing the eyes. The photos are of Valiant Dorian, Connie Chang, Zo Williams, Jonathan Mendoza, Cai Kagawa, and Samm Star. Text across each strip reads, "THE BAR AT THE END OF THE WORLD." Text at the bottom of the graphic reads, "Saturday Oct 4th @ 8pm ET. Arc Interlude. Twitch.Tv/TransplanarRPG."

Character art for the cast of The Between on twitch.tv/starcrawlrpg, livestreamed Saturdays at 4pm Eastern Time/9pm British Time

The characters are, from left to right:

A changeling with silvery green hair, leaning back casually, their black cat next to them.

A woman, wearing a military outfit looking as if to challenge whoever happens to be in front of her, holding a halberd with gold decorations.

A woman wearing high quality shirt and skirt, holding tarot cards in one hand and summoning a purple flame in the other, her cat a little to the right.

In the background, the ghostly, floating figure of a woman with a bleeding head wound as well as skeletal hands, an autopsy hammer with blood on it and a broken pocket watch floating above them.

A tall man wearing a fine outfit including a tailcoat with blue floral brocade. He is holding a doctor's bag.

Transparent in the background is the looming figure of an older man in a suit and top hat with a full white beard and glowing green eyes, leaning on a gnarled stick.

GMing is an underpaid (and most of the time not paid at all) full time job and GMs should get a raise.

The raise can include telling them how much you appreciate them, their story, how much you like the session and their time.
