DMs After Dark

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.

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...

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.

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).

Angelica and Elias reminisce on their first year at Blackroot Academy - the moment that made them rivals, the setbacks they faced early in their arcane academics, and friends (and foes) made along the way both faculty and fellow students.
