Dread and Breakfast

Welcome to Season 2! And welcome, dear listener, to the town of Spillman: a place filled with folklore, eccentric family recipes, and hauntings. Although… that depends on which stories you believe.

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.* (You rock, Morgan!)

Additional thanks to Mallory Swisher-Kroll, for voicing Eloise. If you’d like to hear more of her voice, check out Roll 4 Your Life, a D&D actual play podcast!

The gang is desperate to find the remaining campers before the man in the woods gets to them first. But a couple of our counselors are feeling a bit… unsteady. Will Camp Needlewood gain a few more ghosts? Or will our counselors find their own happy ending?

Fabrice and Christine have been accepted to a magical academy for adults, but what horror, drama, and rivalry await them in and out of the classroom? Join us for this special playthrough of Cassi Mothwin’s forthcoming game, Tangled Blessings!

Tangled Blessings is a solo journaling or two-player RPG inspired by dark academia media, ghost stories, and graduate school. The core mechanics are based on the ENnie-nominated Anamnesis game by Samantha Leigh. Featuring a wizarding college, wandering specters, assigned houses, curses, devils’ bargains and more supernatural flavor, Tangled Blessings blends horror and the fantastical to help players craft a story that spans their time at the academy — culminating in one final showdown against their rival.

The Crowdfundr for Tangled Blessings ends SOON, on February 25th. Check it out here and snag a copy for yourself: https://crowdfundr.com/tangledblessings

Thank you to Cassi for providing this special advanced copy for us to play. You can find out more about the game and her other work here:
