Players: Jenn, Joe, Megan, Rob, Timo, Tom, Todd, with special guest Dr. Boyfriend

A bunch of us at the Jank Cast and our friends got together over Turkey Day weekend to play a six hour long session of Steve Hickey's "cultists summoning an elder god" game SOTH. This is part 2 of 3 of that game.

A few notes, again, in case you missed them last time:

1) As we mentioned last time: SOTH is a pretty violent game about people doing awful, awful things including bullying people, harassing people in their town, and generally bringing about the apocalypse. So note that the content in this one is pretty R-rated. If that would bother you, best steer clear of this one.

2) SOTH, as we mention in the introduction, has spoilers! There are things that happen in the game that, were you to play it, you might want to be surprised about. They mostly happen at the END of the game, so you can listen to this episode and decide if you want to hear the end when we get there or not. We will warn you again. Also: SOTH is a fun game regardless, so it's not the end of the world if you hear the spoilers. You can still make SOTH your own when you play it.

ALL HAIL SOTH!

Hosts: Joe, Megan, Scott, Timo, Todd

Prodigal Jank son TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMO returns to us to talk about information in game. How much information do the players have? How much can they get? How does that shape the game?

No sh'notes because holidays. Enjoy.

Literally, right after we put up the last cast on play by post, we thought of a bunch of stuff we didn't talk about that we should have. Additionally, a few listeners brought up some topics we forgot to address. So Jenn, Adam, and Todd reconvene to do a quick follow up cast on PbP. Topics include: post rate, game fade, and why PbP in-game sex is different than at-the-table in-game sex.

Also, a few people asked about our Masks game. For a few reasons, we decided to make the game private since the last cast when we mentioned it. HOWEVER, when we're done with the game, we might change that and publish it for folks to see. We'll keep you posted.

In this episode, we sit down with our friend Adam to discuss the ins and outs of play-by-post.

Our pretty much yearly recap of all the new hotness at Forge Midwest. There's a lot of talk about larping, and a fair amount of cat meowing.
