Sure, you can call us a Monster of the Week show if you want. But we all know it’s REALLY just a possum appreciation society and Pip is our mascot. 💙

Now’s a good time to jump into our new campaign, Channels- a Sega Dreamcast MMO is bleeding into a small Minnesota town and it might be up to a vampire, a janitor and ex-thief to figure out why. 🩸🧹💰

Meet the hunters! They may not have a solid plan, functioning relationships, or basic impulse control—But hey, they do have incredible #characterart. Thank you to the talented @carlzsays.bsky.social for bringing our favorite weirdos to life (again)!

No flags, no fireworks this year. I’m choosing to celebrate by supporting small, local businesses—the ones rooted in real community, not corporations.

Join me in this weekend’s economic blackout. Spend intentionally. Resist loudly.

Stand up. Fight back. Don’t be on the wrong side of history.

And thus, an instant fan-favorite NPC was born. Meet Nathaniel, the crew's delightfully long-winded and ever-curious neighbor. You can catch him most days asking Robert questions about most things.

Tune in to Channels, our new #monsteroftheweek #actualplay campaign to hear from him yourself.

Roll For Good - Playing TTRPGs for Charity @rollforgood.bsky.social · May 13

A suburban soccer team seems to have gained elite status overnight, crushing their competition where they struggled to score a single goal before.

But when one of them is found brutally attacked and covered with strange runes, the Hunters know it's time to intervene...
