Show Notes

This week, Fiona is joined by Ryan, Saul, Audrey, Liz and special guest facilitator Graham Gent for 'Under the Autumn Strangely': A storytelling game of pastoral horror priming with anachronistic Americana set in a land that Never Was.

Inspired by "Over the Garden Wall" created by Patrick McHale, 'Under the Autumn Strangely', let’s players collaboratively create a world uncanny and old. Codify and encourage tonal clash as the Three Roles meld whimsy, autumnal melancholy, and dread.

Take a wrong turn on a dusty road. Follow the sign past the red barn with peeling paint. Doubt your senses.

Get a little lost.

Welcome to the Never Was.
