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 winged 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, smiling rigidly, 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.

Even though I've only been able to be at the table once with Rosie, I've watched her other performances and she always delights me. Eliska is so funny and so serious and a great character concept overall. I really hope I get to share a table with Rosie more!

It's @rosatyrs.bsky.social as Eliska, the resident ghost haunting Hargrave House and Leander specifically. In 2 sessions, Rosie has both delivered great roleplay and one-shot a demon.

@rosatyrs.bsky.social you are such a wonderful scene partner! The way you've tormented Leander is perfect. It's also been an absolute joy to see you become the leader of the cats and badass poltergeist. Hilarious and terrifying all at once.

@rosatyrs.bsky.social every moment we got with Eliska was a joy! And even when we didn’t physically see her, her ghostly hijinks always brought a little spooky fun element. I loved watching her gossip with the cats and give us a glimpse of her and Leander’s beef with one another

The Between is the first full streamed series I've been in. It has been a blast! I have had so much fun co-telling this story and seeing where it goes.

I have enjoyed so much how much we support and indulge each other.

I'll share Leander's mood board & playlist after the finale. For the curious. 😉

Final main cast member of the amazing group of people I'm playing #TheBetween with on @starcrawlrpg.bsky.social is @intersectionscch.bsky.social, playing Leander. Doctor, devoted husband, serial killer.

@intersectionscch.bsky.social when you put "simp" on Leander's vibe board, I knew we were in for a treat. You show up so immaculately dressed and always in character, and I love all the choices you've made. I love that Noe and Leander are a couple of bitchy shit talkers together now 😂 it's so fun

Araxie might have a complicated relationship with Leander, but I think Lamia is a fantastic player who really brings out the best in everyone they share a scene with. Also I am constantly in awe at their ability to keep up an accent for the entire session.

Time to talk about @cursebreakerelliot.bsky.social, who plays Araxie in our #TheBetween campaign on @starcrawlrpg.bsky.social.

Elliot is a great player and has rolled with all of the many punches coming Araxie's way, including nearly turning into a vampire and being abducted by a demon.

@cursebreakerelliot.bsky.social you have created a wonderfully funny, tragic badass in Araxie and played it so well. I have enjoyed our characters absurd working relationship, and I have enjoyed playing with you.

Ash maybe party pincushion but Araxie will always be party danger magnet. 💚

I love that we got to see her through every crisis she's had & I'm looking forward to finding out what she's decided to do now that there's no legacy to protect

Wiz has put up with our shenanigans as we crack our silly jokes, and has pulled no punches as our characters suffer the consequences of their actions. I could easily play another year of this game with him, if only we had the time.

Mods are asleep, quick say nice things about our Mastermind, @wizardstyles.bsky.social 👀 This was my first long form horror game, and I have wholeheartedly enjoyed every session.

@wizardstyles.bsky.social You've fostered such a fun & collaborative table. You have handled a game that has a very colonial premise and embraced our desires as players to play but also not comply with the empire.
Thank you.

Also I appreciate that all our actions had consequences. ^_^

Two years of continued and livestreamed genocide following decades of occupation, colonization, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes is sitting heavy in our hearts and souls.

We must continue to fight for liberation beyond fiction. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. 🇵🇸

@jienbirb.bsky.social Your comedic timing is balanced so well with Ash's more poignant moments. I love how much you've leaned into being the fey lodestone of London and party pincushion, and it's been such a joy getting to play at table with you!
