No context needed for this arc, though if you listened to Battle of the Bands you'll hear some familiar voices. We rejoin rockers Nicky Vader and Belt Toledo as they rock their way to a music festival.

My next door neighbors are moving. They were the first (and only) people to go out of their way to introduce themselves to me when I moved in.
I grew up moving every few years, and it's still strange to live in a place long enough to feel it change.

Season One of RPG Major has come to a close. In today's episode, our collaborators and guests reflect on the season and paired their thoughts with a song.
If you want to see what this whole "improvised music" thing is about, this episode is about 90% music.

I think we made something really incredible together! AP, like improv, is always at least two stories at once: the story being told and the story of the people telling the story. Seeing Dillin take risks, gain confidence, and end the arc in rock star status? That's the personal story I treasure.
I wrote a bit about the experience of making a musical improv actual play, as someone who has never tried musical improv before.
As of this morning, the full series is out, and I'm so beyond grateful to have had this adventure!!!
Thank you to @seaexcursion.itch.io for writing the perfect game

Start singing right now, doesn't matter if you use intelligible words or not, or even random sounds, as long as it's making music with your mouth.

You're reaching the end of an arc in an RPG. What do you do when you're facing down the BBEG? Obviously you taunt him in song.

Maybe 10 years ago, One Shot was a big part of introducing me to RPGs beyond D&D, making me want to GM, and learn improv.
Getting to tell a story with heart on a show I love with people I love, (And this includes you @superdillin.bsky.social!) felt like a milestone. Don't miss this arc, friends!

NEW EPISODE!
The first-ever One Shot musical! Years ago, the band Broadside made a deal with the devil for their success. Now he’s coming to collect. Before we find out what happens, we have to create the band and explore their past.

The art Camilla made for our current arc (our Season 1 Finale!!) is just killer. We have not one but two guests in for this arc, and each PC gets drawn as an archetype of one of the four seasons. (Artist @Camillastrator on insta).
