The difference between Actual Play and let's call it "improvised audio drama" is that the 20-minute lockpicking challenge in the former can only be tolerably 3 minutes or so in the latter.

This is good news from @patreon.com. The lack of this feature was the main reason I wasn't just hosting my podcasts straight from there. #audiodrama

This isn’t a particularly good video of anything, but I wanted to share how all our our neighborhood goes for Halloween

Someone's been grabbing the Overcast Fiction ads pretty consistently the last few weeks. This is the first time I've ever seen it break $300.
Note that $11 CPA is pretty poor. If you're buying ads for a thing, the gold star is about $3 CPA.

Hey everyone. I just wanted to share with someone a small and yet momentous sigh-of-relief: I've finished the next episode of #TheThief.
This session over 2 hours more than 2 years ago, and I've distilled it to fifteen full-cast minutes - but they are really good minutes.

Spending the weekend back home in Michigan for my friend’s birthday, where we re-upped on “ope” and “here-you-go-buddy” and using-your-hand-like-a-map. Pictured here: coneys, Faygo ice cream (??), some fire, some pines, and Jones soda (which isn’t technically a Michigan thing).

YouTube recommended a rock playlist for me that had a picture of my band from 2003/4 on it.
Caught me off guard.
I guess go find The Coffinettes

So "The Young" is an actual play about teenagers in the nineties and zombies and summer camp, and I just want to share some of the deep coming-age-storytelling this show is about.

Hi everyone. I hope to continue to share here the art that friends and I make, but I won't as soon as I am hit with a gate requiring identification (like an ssn). These are in the name of safety, but they are antithetical to such. I'm a VP of Engineering and such verification tools are not secure.

I am going to chat about Beowulf for a minute.
It's my first post here (or anywhere on social) in awhile, and having come out of a strong medievalist college, I just occasionally want to yap about Beowulf.
Here's my pitch: the hoard, not the dragon, killed Beowulf.
