I've been thinking how audiences come to TTRPGs via Actual Plays (or not). It's been a big factor in how I've prepped Hellbent. I can't help shaking the feeling that a lot of us are running shows that cater to people who are already predisposed to the world/lingo of TTRPGs which can hinder newbies.

Here's an interesting question for people who like APs.
Do you watch/listen to the session 0 if provided? Do you do so first before getting into the episodes, or do you like to dig in retroactively?

Hey look at this cool thing that's happening. If you find you can't travel to PAX U, this con is run by some cool people (and me)
Are you missing out on PaxU but have something to share with other ttRPG and AP enthusiasts--either as a panel host or perhaps by running a seminar about a topic you know really well?

Most spirits are able to move on from the physical realm into whatever afterlife they find. Some, for various reasons, are unable to depart the Wyrd Frontier. Perhaps they are bound to an object with intense personal significance. Maybe their life's purpose is unfulfilled.

The DM is a player. If I’m not having fun, what’s the fucking point?
I love watching @thatbronzegirl.bsky.social DM because she makes me feel so much better about my lack of a poker face while DMing. Laughing with your players is the best. #criticalrole

It’s Indigenous Peoples’ Month - and the government once again, has failed to keep its word to us.
Consider donating food, money, sanitary supplies to your local tribes’ food bank 🧡 a quick Google search can show you who’s land you’re on!

In Hellbent, the undead are just one faction that is ever-present on the frontier. It takes a hardy bunch to combat the forces of evil. Help us outfit this posse (and beyond) by pitching in https://store.savingthrowshow.com.

Shino's a well-known itinerant farmer, though few truly know his whole story. He travels from town to town helping people heal & maintain their land. Guided by the legend of Shennong the Divine Farmer, he secretly turns dying lands into bountiful harvests in an impossibly short time.

To twisted men, he's a gift. To broken hearts, a saint. He scraped by in the underground, purging Corruption from those who suffered its effects. He’s seen the way of magic - how it saunters in, sets up shop, and simply asks you to pay prices you cannot fathom. Their debt is now Zeyvah's burden.

Mei's a demonologist & anthropologist who seeks knowledge above all else. She wears a small vial of blood around her neck & several scars on her body - effects of Corruptive magic. Her journey has come to this - uncovering the truth about the House of Yhargoth and how they’re involved with her past.

Vincent's a preacher's son, but for the last 20 years he's been a hunter. He hunts the worst things the Corruption leaves behind. Lately business has been booming. He's after one monster in particular, forever haunted by the ghosts left in its wake. He won't stop until he sees it put down.
