Join in Saturday as @revdeschain.bsky.social makes a mystery on the fly - with oddly specific and randomly assigned parameters!
The #TTRPG gameshow returns with Monster Daddy, Michael Sands as benevolent judge. Watch Keepers Rev, Apollo and Calamity create Monster of the Week content with needlessly arbitrary restrictions and a short time limit!

Streaming Saturday: 7pm EDT / 4pm PDT (Sunday 12noon NZT) on twitch.tv/seroRPG

What @revdeschain.bsky.social shared for his birthday:

This ep is a Monster of the Week by @evilhat.bsky.social mystery based off the song Actual Cannibal Shia Labeouf by Rob Cantor - using the full orchestral/choral tracks from the song with his permission.

My favorite part of any given @thecritshow.bsky.social episode is when Megan loses her shit laughing about something.

When we first started the show, we would post episode teasers in the form of lines from the episode with no context of who was saying them or why. It wasn’t as catchy as audio clips - but man, it was fun.

I just finished the most recent @thecritshow.bsky.social and god damn is it so good. Go listen if you enjoy Amazingly told fiction. Also, if any of the team read this, thank you. Rev, Tass, Jake, TJ, Megan, and Kim. All of you are incredible. Thank you.

Band of Blades - you play as solders fleeing from the armies of the undead - if they catch you, you die - if you don't make it to safety before winter hits - you die! It's a race against the clock!
Rev has a dream of doing a full campaign of this one day.

In addition to the #monsteroftheweek podcast - we've also made Let's Plays for different games, all with the design that you can listen to the 3-4 episodes then sit down and play each game comfortably. So if you like things like PBTA, Fate, Forged in the Dark - then the next few posts are for you!
