Show notes

BONUS EPISODE! In honor of the game crowdfunding, we're re-sharing our 2023 game of A Land Once Magic, genuinely one of my favorite games ever made. We paired it with a special interview with Elliot Davis, who is publishing the game's new physical edition, about why ALOM (and its designer, noted enemy of the show Viditya Voleti) are so great.

445 - Blister City with Malcolm Critcher Mar 13, 2025

Show notes

Malcolm is the Creative Director at BRINK Media, and co-creator of This Is Propaganda, a narrative nonfiction podcast that breaks down the hidden influence of propaganda in our modern lives, and how propaganda (or as it would come to be known, Public Relations) have shaped our entire culture today. We sat down to play Blister City, a game about the bloody realities of Martian revolution, and about taking back the world from the fascists who control it.

The folks who ruined Mars have names and addresses. You have a crowbar, and a dream. Make them pay.

Steve is the host of Errant Adventures, an actual play podcast focused on singleplayer RPGs.

We told the story of a knight of the Feytouched Court, on a mission from peace... provided they reach their destination with their soul intact.

Bonus: Head to the Errant Adventures feed to hear Steve and I set sail in Ironsworn: Sundered Isles!
