This is an episode with an emphasis on action scenes, big setpieces, and the like.
Christian is an Award-Winning TTRPG performer, educator, and the organizer of The Force Within, a 50-person BIPOC Star Wars TTRPG streaming event. We sat down to play Clever Girl, a two-player game about the lone survivor a malfunctioning dinosaur theme park, and the roving band of raptors in hot pursuit.
Sean is a professional Game Master, video creator, and INCREDIBLE advocate for the world of TTRPGs. We sat down to play a faction-filled game of Worlds Without Harmony, a game of ideological conflicts, unanswerable questions, and the people caught up in them.
You’ll dig this episode if you like: Superheroes (specifically, the NBC masterpiece Heroes), inventive worldbuilding, folk heroes, and big emotional swings.
AJ is an Actual Play performer, video editor, cosplayer, and (like me) a wearer of many hats; you can most recently hear them on the latest arc of One Shot, playing Machine Impossible, and as a player on The Lurking Legends (a rotating GM, One Piece-inspired Actual Play series). We sat down for a game of Friendly Neighborhood Superhero, a game about superheroic action and protecting your community. We geek out SO MUCH about superheroes, y’all. It’s great.
Chris is a voice actor, actual play producer, and founder of Taíno Tales, an award-nominated, queer latine-led TTRPG actual play channel. We sit down to play Ironsworn Starforged, and encounter a horrifying discovery and a dangerous showdown on a snow-blighted wasteland planet!
When backed against the wall, will you stay human? Or will you embrace the rage and summon the power of your bestial form, to bring a wave of vengeance down on your enemies?
Even if you are, through some unfortunate, miserable twist of fate… some kind of “superhero.”
