Welcome to the second episode of series 86, everyone! In this series, we are covering our first LARP, Strangers on the ‘Net, an online live action roleplaying game where you play as 90’s teens pretending to be 90’s teens in an online fandom forum to pretend to be characters from a fandom you all know and love, with previous guest of the show and designer of this game, Allison K. Cole! In today’s episode, we finish creating our characters as well as our character’s characters, as well as our character’s character’s made-up fandom series!
