Amanda Silberling, tech journalist and podcaster, joins the podcast mostly to dunk on former guest Giovanni Colantonio, but also to brag about going to the Olympics. Inbetween all that, they make the game "Mail-puss," a game based on the prompts:

• incredibly haunted,
• Mail-puss,
• Played secretly at a party or event

The resulting folk game(s) can be played at any convention, party, or Olympics you're attending! If you're alone, play the name-based Mail-puss. If you have 8 people, then lean into the incredible haunted rumor-mongering version. Fun for all ages and number of players!

Lin Codega, games journalist and co-founder of Rascal News, joins the pod to make "Spiral Apotheosis," based on the prompts: 

• Addictive,
• Last god in the pantheon,
• Inscrutable, award-winning Eurogame

Lin, using their expansive knowledge of what makes a TTRPG both award-winning and "Eurogame," lays out the groundwork for a game in which the rules are constantly changing, and both player and Last God are encouraged to be antagonistic with each other. It's just what DnD is doing, writ large!

Riley MacLeod takes a break from his incredible games journalism to make a game based on the prompts:

• Pampered,
• Tornado Watch,
• Endless runner

After bouncing between a few great options for a game, they land on a new cat-based platforming game. Play as a beautiful chonky cat trying to get to either end of this tornado with slow but steady determination. You can make it, you round plush cat! We believe in you!

Patrick Gill, a talented video essayiest and bonkers livestreamer, joins the podcast to make a nasty brain game with the prompts:

• Horrifying,
• Nobody can discover your recent lottery win,
• Deckbuilder

The resulting brain-reaping game pits your social skills against the people in your small town as you try to keep your terrible secret. Mash up a little old lady's brains to learn kindness, bully some children to learn whimsy, and reap the cashier at the local gas station to learn how to finagle your way out of awkward conversations. Does the local stoner know bluntness? Does the sheriff know prevaricate? Find out in Ill Gotten Brains!

Amy Vorpahl, actress, musician and expert DM, is ready to practice making games with the prompts:

• Ten-minute,
• marching band simulator,
• dating sim

Now it's time for the awkward marching band nerds to strip off their pseudo-military uniforms and reveal their thick buff legs. In Pucker Up and Blow, you'll have a chance to romance a variety of either stacked or charismatic musicians. And if you play your cards and instruments right, you might have a chance at 10 minutes of "Practice"!

Professor Ashley, twitch stream and a literal real professor, challenges Jenna's base concepts about fun, flirting, and composting with the prompts:

• extremely literal
• composting
• weeklong LARP

Together they make an education workshop with structured workshops on composting and a farmer-romancing meta game. But it is NOT a cult. For legal reasons, I must again clarify: it is NOT a cult. Also, whoever keeps track of Bridgerton and Evermore Theme Park mentions on this show, get ready to update, thaaaanks.

Kaylee Rowena, talented comic illustrator and haunted house expert, joins the podcast to make a very pride-ful TTRPG with the prompts:

• underground,
• Local Government drama,
• tongue-based

Taking a cue from Lasers and Feelings, they create the gayest spectrum possible: seduction to inimidation. Play as Chirry Pitt as she gets manipulates the city council from behind the bar. You'll have the strongest tongue in town by the time you've secured garden rights for your town!
