A. My sister's debut roleplaying game experience, captured on audio!!! B. Monsters Ate My Homework is such a fun game i loved it and I think Amaan made something really great here. C. This whole cast works with children in some capacity and I think it REALLY shows in how they play them!

NEW EPISODE! A group of regular students notice strange behavior in their school and attempt to uncover the reasons why in Monsters Ate My Homework. ft @superdillin.bsky.social @intersectionscch.blacksky.app @whipjack.bsky.social @gothicfaerie.bsky.social Cassandra Apelyan Links below🔗⬇️

ok but like what do you mean "best original song" and it was something we improvised on the spot??!?!? I'm actually deeply unwell about that.

Dillin Apelyan - EGOT hopeful Actual Play creator@superdillin.bsky.social · last wk.

The New Jersey Web Fest nominations are announced and I'm FREAKING out about @oneshotpod.bsky.social being nominated 3x for Last Train to Bremen If you'd have told me I'd have a nomination for "best original song" in literally any capacity more than a year ago I'd think you were mocking me lol

The cover art for One Shot's Last Train to Bremen, featuring the fictional band Broadside, made up of anthropomorphic animals as the band members. From left to right is Hound, a blue-grey hound dog in a corset dress holding an acoustic guitar. Cat, a tuxedo cat in a black leather jacket and pants with silver chains rolling dice. Cockerel, a rooster in a white t shirt smoking a cigarette. and Mule, a donkey in a white button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a blue vest holding drumsticks. across the bottom and top are several white laurels from the new jersey web fest. one that says official selection, one that says outstanding drama, one that says best scoring, one that says best original song.

This is a great review of Voices in the Wood, of VOID 1680 AM, and of music incorporated into Actual Play and I'm also SO warmed to hear a shout out to our Last Train to Bremen improv musical One Shot in here too. Thank you Amaan for making these reviews and sharing your thoughts on AP

Dear [you], I was bored so you get this early. This Actual Play is not one thing, it's several. Check out the review of Voices in the Wood by @talesyettold.com youtu.be/oQrkPID0pzQ

Genuinely heartbreaking and beautiful and just so amazingly done. I'm so glad these two were able to get together and play this game. We are all so lucky to be gifted this upon our feeds. An all timer party of one for sure.
