Ever wonder just how far away the Library is from Madam Lou's? Well, thanks to our amazing cast member Aryn, we have a map for our #actualplaypodcast showing you where things are! We will probably add more to this as the show goes on, but enjoy this little piece of Seattle! #oldseattlepod

Absolutely awesome new Hunter the Reckoning AP! With only eight episodes out, it's super quick to get caught up and I cannot wait to see what happens next!

Messy Crit Productions @messycritprod.bsky.social · 7d

Mason and Lola try to cope with the aftermath of the Hunt in their own ways. Even so, there's no escaping the darkness of Marlin Bay.

Episode 8 of "The Road to Hell" is live now on Spotify!

Harvest is "a beautiful cursed woodcut" of a folk horror RPG

The island hungers. The omens multiply. The sacrifice looms.

Every #rpg has confronted the dreaded locked door, and there are two different approaches to opening it. You rarely get to see an #actualplaypodcast try both at once! Join us for gunfire and laughter on our next episode playing #alien and see who survives!

Our new #mystery is built around a real #seattle institution! The Butterworth and Sons Mortuary served Seattle's dead and departed for years. Of course, who knows what may have haunted the location before then... Join us and find out!

I once played a 17 Int character who had to solve a riddle. I was stumped, and rolled my character's Int, and failed -- and had to fight a summoned monster and then got another shot at the riddle. OOF that was a long night!
