Good day and salutations, my fine fellow members of Good Society, and welcome to the visitation episode before the grand finale. In this episode, the DMs pay visits (make calls in the parlance of the era) to one another and scheme, sleaze, and schmooze their way deeper into drama as the Harvest Festival ramps up to a climactic finish.

Unfortunately, it will be a month before we finish the story, as Sara is a professional and has a conference to attend. Good Society will conclude on March 25th live on our Twitch and be uploaded to our YouTube and podcast feeds shortly thereafter. Fret not, however! We will be playing a surprise one-shot that (at the moment, no spoilers) may involve some grandmas getting their groove back. Join us next Friday, March 11th for a septuagenarian social extravaganza!

You can find out more about Good Society and other Storybrewers games on their website.

Everyone knows the world is full of magic. It's dangerous stuff. The vampires, werewolves, fey folk, they're all a part of every day life, but the people who mess around with magic? They bring about the Omens. They bring nothing but trouble.

In the very first stream of The Midnight Codex EVER, we play four poor souls who wake up one morning with little memories of the night before, but a book on our person. A codex that gives us magic. Watch to see what unravels as we play Episode 1 (of 12!) of The Midnight Codex.

Keep an eye out for The Midnight Codex from Meta Mage Studios coming to Kickstarter October 31, 2022! It's a really cool concept of monthly installments to move forward a larger metaplot as you and your fellow Codex-wielding magic crew do what you can to stop the end of the world!

Art, including our very first fan art (hop on our social medias to see and chat with us about all things RPGs) for the Midnight Codex was done by Jayce at Rude Graffix. Join the Rude Graffix Discord server at https://discord.gg/TNgZ8Hgqqs

DMs After Dark - Promotional Stream - Mall Kids!
play

04/21/23 • 174 min

Remember the days of your preteens or teenage years where going to the mall was the coolest, you and your friends would hang out with the little bit of money you had and just wander the same four hallways being delinquents?

Well now, you can play a game that relives those adventures in absolutely wild scenarios! Check out Mall Kids 2023 by Matthew Gravelyn on Kickstarter through 4/21 (so act fast)! But don't worry if you miss it, you can get all the rules for the way we played it from Matthew's Itch.io page along with his other excellent games!

In this silly one-shot stream, we play Superpowered teens who work at the mall in Super Mall Kids, one of the new settings and rules expansions to Mall Kids. Join us as we uncover a kidnapping conspiracy with mall cops and deal with Black Friday shoppers in a session that gets pretty weird.

DMs After Dark - Invisible Sun | Session 0 & Character Creation
play

04/29/22 • 157 min

Welcome back from the Shadow, our fellow Vislae, take a stroll and reacquaint yourself with ... the Actuality.

In this session zero for Monte Cook's Invisible Sun, Christian does his best to herd the cats that are the other DMs as we navigate the complex terminology and incredibly surreal world of Invisible Sun. The DMs sit at computers in the Shadow (our Earth world simulation) to create a crew of vislae (beings of magic) back in the Actuality (the waking real world everyone we know is totally running from in a dream), and we make a few important narrative decisions for Christian to use in our upcoming series.

For all its complicated jargon and disorganized pdfs, Invisible Sun just oozes flavor and incredible worldbuilding, and the Monte Cook classic "You're a(n) [adjective] [noun] who [verbs]" really shines when you can ignore the rules of our shared reality and get really, really weird.

We aren't the most organized we've ever been in a session, we do a fair amount of ranting, but we hope you enjoy the first bits of your time in the Actuality with us...

DMs After Dark - One-Player One-Shot | Anamnesis
play

04/07/23 • 43 min

You may be influenced by your past, but those events do not define you or determine where you go from here.

Anamnesis is an amazing journaling solo-player game by Samantha Leigh where you play a character who wakes up with memory loss. It uses a deck of tarot cards and splits the game up into 5 Acts with prompts to jog the memories of your character. Check it out!

You're probably not supposed to play yourself, you're probably supposed to experience this from a fictional character's perspective, but Rene's an idiot and apparently wanted to have a long-overdue letting go of some of his past, so he did it in a game. Typical Rene.

This game contains a bunch of music from my bands throughout the years. I hope you enjoy the little snippets, but if you just skip through them, I totally get that, too.

If you enjoy our streams, podcasts, or just our general nerdiness, please consider giving us a 5-star rating on your podcast app of choice! Like, follow, and subscribe to our Twitch, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram so you can comment & chat with us about all things RPGs.

And, as always, come hang out and catch our live streams on our Twitch or catch up on our YouTube.

Music in the Episode:

All music in the episode is from Rene's old bands, which you can find on BandCamp at Animal Empire and Cassela (he would have included Sleep City but I think that's still technically owned by someone else, but it's on streaming services).
