The Monster's Playbook

Book Club editor edition! Wondering how The Monster's Playbook sounds so good? Or who's the music magician behind some of your favorite podcasts? Miah geeked out with fellow podcast editors Ian from Shrimp and Crits and Matt from Debate This! learning about how they fell into the seat of podcast editor, what are their computer setups and what grinds their audio gears. Take a peak behind the curtain into the world of poor posture, low lighting, 12-button computer mice, and big headphones of our beloved audio engineers.

Welcome to Broken River, Minnesota. There's a lot to see here. From the huge but forbidding dive bar Dog Tags to the iconic underground canal tunnels to the historic apartment building where our three heroes lay their heads. But there's even more that you can't see. Like the creature that's just gotten loose in town... from somewhere far away.

The Painted Crow was one of our first Patreon NPC bonus episodes, now available for all!

How did Ramsey / Lincoln end up as the taciturn shopkeeper with more knowledge than patience? Unfortunately, we're about to find out. Something important has gone missing from the Clockwork Child. Skaal, the mystical tracker, is meant to be resting safely in the mural on the back of the store. But he's been taken. If Lincoln / Ramsey hopes to get him back, they'll have to rely on somebody they hoped they'd never have to see again: The mentor that made them who they are today. It's an origin story in retrospect! And it's not going to go well!
