470 - Hunt(er/ed) with Cate Osborn Oct 07, 2025

Show notes

Cate is an author, podcaster, ADHD educator & advocate, kinkster and Shakespeare nerd. She hosts Sorry I Missed This, an everything guide to ADHD and relationships, and her new book, The ADHD Field Guide For Adults, drops in March. She's also running vampire games at literal Castle Dracula as one of the GMs of Danube of the Damned, which is one of the coolest sentences I've ever gotten to write.

We got deep in the weeds on backyard concerts, monsters, lost identities, and tense showdowns between hunter and hunted in HUNTER(ER/ED)by Dillin Apelyan and Meghan Cross.

469 - For the Queen with Anjali Bhimani (Actor, Critical Role, DesiQuest, Borderlands 4) Sep 28, 2025

Show notes

Anjali is a writer, producer, and actress in games (Borderlands 4, Overwatch), TV (Ms. Marvel), animation (Tales of the TMNT, X-Men '97), and Actual Play (Critical Role, Faster, Purple Worm! Kill! Kill!). She's currently a producer and guest player on the national tour of The Twenty Sided Tavern, and a player in the upcoming genre-bending AP Tales From Woodcreek, as well as the DM (Doggy Master) on the 2nd annual Puppy Roll, raising money for Petco Love.

We sat down to play one of Anajli's favorite games of all time (and mine as well), the incredibly influential For the Queen. The Queen has a difficult journey ahead. She has chosen her most loyal subjects. But can they be trusted? And at the end of the day... can the Queen?

468 - Against Time & Death with Michael Turrentine Sep 21, 2025

Show notes

Michael is one of the stars of World Gone Wrong, a fictional chat show about friendship at the end of the world, in which two best friends talk about life in a world of werewolves, humming kudzu, body snatchers, and a million other crises all at once. We sat down to play Against Time And Death, an epistolary roleplaying game of agents on opposite sides of a multiversal war, and the slowly developing forbidden relationship between them.

467 - Apocalypse Keys with Kieron Gillen Sep 14, 2025

Show notes

Kieron is the writer behind some of my favorite comics, including Young Avengers, Journey Into Mystery, and The Wicked + The Divine. His latest works include The Power Fantasy, about the six superpowered individuals with the power to singlehandedly destroy the planet, and Die Loaded, the sequel to his incredible comic book/RPG combo Die, about a dark fantasy roleplaying game come to life.

We sat down for some monstrous superhero mystery in Apocalypse Keys, about the demonic agents of a massive organization tasked with stopping the end of the world. DIVISION is calling, monsters. Do you answer? Or will you become the Harbinger youself?

SPECIAL EPISODE: Party of One Says Go Birds - 007 - Justice Sworn with Alex Pearlman (LIVE) Sep 07, 2025

Show notes

Alex is a comedian, yelling guy from the Internet, and host of Too Many Tabs. We took a trip back in time to the early 90s, to the smoky lobby of a Ground Round, to revisit some 1990s arcade madness in JUSTICE SWORN by Sandy Pug Games.

Recorded live at Unity Java in Philadelphia, PA!

Show notes

Jadzia is the writer of Galaxy: The Prettiest Star and Hawkgirl: Once Upon a Galaxy, and the longtime host of The Voice of Free Planet X (Jeff's favorite podcast of all time).

466 - Shadow / Giant with Rahrah Aug 24, 2025

Show notes

Rahrah is the creator and GM of The Heart is a Dungeon, an actual play TTRPG podcast focused on sad, emotional storytelling with a primarily BIPOC and fem presenting cast. We tapped into that deep, vulnerable spirit in a game of Shadow / Giant, an asymmetrical RPG about a gruff loner forced to take care of a mysteriously magically powerful child. Can they support one another as they race against the odds towards some kind of safety?

465 - Shitty Ensigns with Dan Ludwig Aug 17, 2025

Show notes

Dan is one half of Breaking Mayberry, an anti-nostalgia podcast about watching old TV (starting with, as the title suggests, The Andy Griffith Show) and figuring out how it broke your grandparents' brains.

After last week's episode all about analyzing TV and talking about storytelling, we wanted to spotlight the fun and goofiness of old genre TV. And we couldn't have found a better example than Shitty Ensigns, an RPG about poorly equipped Starfleet ensigns bumbling their way through missions.

464 - Lights Out with Marty Schneider Aug 10, 2025

Show notes

Marty is one of the hosts of Breaking Mayberry, an anti-nostalgia podcast focused on watching old TV (starting with, as the title suggests, The Andy Griffith Show) and assessing what holds up and what caused permanent damage to the psyche of an entire generation.

We wanted to talk TV, and storytelling, and the weird politics of creating collaborative art, and so we sat down with Lights Out, a game about the last day on set of a long running TV show.

463 - CLASH! with Sabrina Hawthorne Aug 03, 2025

Show notes

CLASH! Shonen Battle Roleplay is a Tabletop Roleplaying Game love letter to shonen anime such as Bleach, One Piece, and Naruto in which big, bombastic characters grapple with dramatic fights and the dramatic emotions those fights represent.

I sat down with the game's designer, Sabrina Hawthorne, to see the game in action.
