Welcome back for part two of Mr. Ray's Dethrone the Divine! https://mr-ray.itch.io/

After the events of part one, our intrepid crew find themselves chatting with none other than Hermes, and the twink has... scampered off somewhere. This may be one of the most chaotic, unhinged, and h-word actual plays we've done to day, which if you've listened to previous APs, you know this is a BOLD statement. 

Players:
Conor (he/him), playing Babs (she/they) - Socials
Jess (she/her), playing Buttons (he/they) - Socials
Ray (he/him), playing Mogi (he/him) - Socials

Did you know that friend of the pod, Mr. Ray, has a bunch of games available on itch.io? https://mr-ray.itch.io/

We are super excited to be running one of his very own games, Dethrone the Divine, a game where your general goal is to kill god, because who hasn't wanted to do that once in a while! This may be one of the most chaotic, unhinged, and h-word actual plays we've done to day, which if you've listened to previous APs, you know this is a BOLD statement. Give part one a listen, and hope you enjoy!
