Dan is one half of Breaking Mayberry, an anti-nostalgia podcast about watching old TV (starting with, as the title suggests, The Andy Griffith Show) and figuring out how it broke your grandparents' brains.

After last week's episode all about analyzing TV and talking about storytelling, we wanted to spotlight the fun and goofiness of old genre TV. And we couldn't have found a better example than Shitty Ensigns, an RPG about poorly equipped Starfleet ensigns bumbling their way through missions.

Marty is one of the hosts of Breaking Mayberry, an anti-nostalgia podcast focused on watching old TV (starting with, as the title suggests, The Andy Griffith Show) and assessing what holds up and what caused permanent damage to the psyche of an entire generation.

We wanted to talk TV, and storytelling, and the weird politics of creating collaborative art, and so we sat down with Lights Out, a game about the last day on set of a long running TV show.

Velvet is an actual play performer and cast member on Athraplay, a tabletop RPG AP podcast exploring the lesser-trod paths of JRR Tolkien's Middle-Earth through play (and aso, a literal dragon). We embarked on a winding journey of our own through the doomed landscapes of K Ramstack's Bound Together, a game about exploring two people's relationships as they outrun the end of the world.

Mirror Match is a role-playing game love letter to fighting games. Players create warriors based on shared themes and origins before facing off in arena combat. Inspired by two-player fighting games, sessions see new characters constantly enter the fray and the game provides scaffolding to create your own universe of mad ninja, shotgun-toting wizards, dragon-gods, and more. All of those characters will face off in the viscera-soaked court of Bloody Mary and only you can decide how they'll fare in her wicked gaze. 

I sat down with the game's designer, Jackson Adams, to see the game in action.

The Invisible Labyrinth is a game about branching timelines, uncertain futures, and escaping what seems inevitable. Players take on the role of a small group of characters and nonlinearly create a web of timelines about their possible journeys, building a web of alternate timelines and "what if" futures.

I sat down with the game's designer, Morgan Jackson, to experience the game in action.
