Dread and Breakfast

Welcome to Spillman, 1999! Y2K paranoia is stirring, but don’t worry–it’s summertime! We’re bringing you a cozy Session 0 this time, so join us around the campfire and grab a key lime s’more. Nothing bad is gonna happen… yet.

WE HAVE A NEW DISCORD SERVER! Come hang out with us: https://discord.com/invite/tTvWEHTAkk

Thank you to Morgan Thomas-Mills for composing our theme song, “The Bottomless Pit Scoot,” which samples music courtesy of the American Folklife Center, Library of Congress.* (Morgan, you’re da bomb dot com!)

And of course, our gratitude and undying admiration goes to Mallory Swisher Kroll, for voicing Eloise this season. If you’d like to hear more of her voice, check out Roll 4 Your Life, a D&D actual play podcast!

"The new millennium is the long-anticipated event around which some sects and cults build end-of-the-world so-called prophecies. Others may use this time as an opportunity to attempt to induce panic and terror. The media has charged still others with attempting to stir panic for personal gain in order to sell books or survival supplies. Regardless of the motivation of others, these events will likely directly impact the lives and jobs of emergency workers. With effects estimates ranging from “a blip on the screen” to “catastrophic meltdown and the end of our society as we know it,” it is difficult to know how much preparation for Y2K is appropriate. What preparation is prudent, and when does preparation cross the line into paranoia?" 

Y2K Service Continuity Plan For Emergency Services Departments By Randy Templeton. 1999

BOO! We’re bringing you a very special Halloween bonus episode, featuring some very special guests! Welcome–not to the town of Spillman–but to the town of Goblinville! We’re playing literal goblins this time so… it’s about as unhinged as you’d expect.

A HUGE thank you to our guest goblins: Daniel Cruz, Aaron Kaufhold, Jordan Nelson, and Grayson Norman from the DnDark Podcast! Go give ‘em a listen. Their show is pretty dang cool.

Our Goblinville artwork is by the incredibly talented Jordan Nelson. (You have a goblin heart, too, Jordan. We love ya!) You can find Jordan’s very good Schlep artwork and the Goblinville town map here.

Goblinville Gazette was created by Michael Dunn-O'Connor and Eric Swanson at Narrative Dynamics.

Grab a drink and join us as we bid farewell to The Graveyard Shift story (and Spillman’s favorite speakeasy). Talking points include body piles, mariachi songs, and the 1985 cinema masterpiece, Clue.

Thank you to Eli Schneider for composing our Breakfast theme song. It sure is the cat’s meow.

(Also, thanks to our friend Kyle for making us moonshine!)

How long would you last before the Rot takes hold? Before the sickness seeps into every fold of your brain, burning through each and every vein… You’re running out of time, but don’t worry. We know a guy.

The good news? The gang has George’s journal, and they know where to find his ring. The bad news? They have to get past his wife.

The scarecrows are assembled. The funnel cakes are frying. The crow train is on its way. It’s a lovely night for a Harvest Festival… and an even lovelier night for a heist.

Welcome to Spillman, 1924! You’re about to meet the most respectable saps this side of the Mississippi. A pious, church-going dame, a hard boiled copper, and a down-on-his-luck barber. But just between you and me, if you’re looking for a gin joint… we know a place.
