it'll take less than half an hour all together and it's really good, I'm very fond of these kinds of work

[merelymatt]

This game stinks 😵‍💫

Fallout from previous arcs that we're dealing with as this one opens:

Gwynned just became 1/3 of a goddess

Graham lost the kids (they're in their 20s, but you know, it's relative) on a field trip to Fairyland

A badger who rides a penny-farthing stole all the town's electricity

Opening today in the Main House

Act One of Five: Something’s rotten in the county of Brackshire. Peggy has some rotten luck and Graham smells a rat.

Coming next on 11 March – Vigil: Ill Wind, Act 2

I know they're going to announce lots more over the coming months, but there's something that feels special and exciting about seeing my show's artwork up on the NZ Web Fest website alongside only a couple of other podcasts. Prominence! It feels nice and I'm enjoying it while it lasts

Breaking news: I Need A Miracle is one of the first official selections announced for this year's NZ Web Fest!

It's an honour to have our small, odd, experimental show selected for such a huge event (part of the Audio Fiction World Cup, no less!) And it's a richly deserved credit to everybody who made I Need A Miracle: the magnificent cast and everyone at @foggyoutline and @wirelesstheatreco.

you should be shutting your computer down more often than you do. give her a night off

[merelymatt]

The inherent eroticism of crossing the ice together (having to survive a landscape beyond human survivability stripping away all pretensions, until my truest self can meet yours).

G is The Goblet Wire!

Surreal microfiction. The Goblet Wire is a secretive role playing game that is played by phone. Players call a switchboard, and after the Operator has confirmed their identity, they’re then connected to the Dictator, who creates the dream-like realities in which the game is played.

One batch of 12 episodes currently available.

i unironically believe electricity is the closest thing we have to magic in this universe. consider:

it's basically what human "souls" are made of (your consciousness is the result of miniscule amounts of electric charge jumping between neurons in your brain)

when handled incorrectly or encountered in the wild, it is a deadly force that can kill you in at least half a dozen different ways

when treated respectfully and channeled into the proper conduits, it is a power source that forms the backbone of modern society

if you engrave the right sigils into a rock and channel electricity into it, you can make the rock think

there is a dedicated caste of mages (electrical engineers) tasked with researching it in ivory towers

whatever the fuck Galvani was doing with those frog legs

look at this and just try to tell me it isn't a kind of summoning circle

you should play spindlewheel, i think

There's something in the air this Audio Drama Sunday.

Vigil: Ill Wind

starts this Tuesday. You'll be glad no one's worked out how to pivot podcasts to smellovision.

Vigil is Merely Roleplayers' Monster of the Week game, set in the middle England market town of Sherrydown. Imagine if you set Buffy in the town from Hot Fuzz and you've got the idea.

Summary:

It's 1721, and London is abuzz with news of notorious pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read, currently languishing in Newgate Prison. It’s the perfect time for debt-ridden journalist Nathaniel Mist to exploit the public appetite and ghost-write a sensational (and hopefully best-selling) history of pirates. But as the balladeers and gossips on the streets of London build myths around the blood-thirsty, perverse lady pirates, Mist is forced to reckon with the real Bonny & Read…

Featuring musical sensation Christina Bianco, actress and comedian Sooz Kempner, Hamilton star Karl Queensborough, drag legend Le Gateau Chocolat, and more.
