Stories set in our world, or worlds adjacent to our own.
Rene is one of the founding members of DMs After Dark, and the host of Rene Plays Games, an actual play podcast focused on smaller published TTRPGs. (If you like the kinds of gameplay experiences we feature on this show, you’d really dig it.) We sat down to make something weird, joyful, and really special in a game of The Magical Year of a Teenage Witch.
We sat down to explore a town, those that left and came back, and those that returned in one of my all-time favorite RPGs, An Altogether Different River.

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.
It’s Christmas Eve and you know that means–time for some holiday magic with my dear friend Brandon Leon-Gambetta. This year, we’re fighting off evil holiday spirits in Blood Yule, a winter-themed expansion for Bar the Windows, Bolt the Doors. Can we survive murderous elves, robot toys, and The Toymaker? Listen and find out!
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.
