#please listen to my show

[sassytail]

It occurs to me that I’ve never really explained. What our podcast is, on here.

So here goes nothing!

Follow the Leader (#ftlcast) is an anthology style actual-play podcast where we tell short character- driven stories through the use of a wide variety of gmless tabletop roleplaying games.

Typically, we record a single-session game (sometimes we do two sessions if it seems the story we’re telling is going to take longer than just the one recording session) and then we split that one recording session into as many ~1 hr long episodes as we can!

Each of our all-queer cast members has a pool of ocs, and we try to bring them back often in various games as aus.

New episodes come out every Monday during our true seasons and every other Monday during FTL Presents interstitial seasons. (we're in one of these at the time of posting on 3/7/23) Each short story comes out as a numbered arc, and you can start our podcast at any story you like by listening to any #.1 episode!

I personally recommend arc 42 (episodes 1, 2, and 3) where we play Lady Winter in the Protocol series by Post World Games and Jim Pinto, in which i play Mihva Namethari, a dryad mage-princess being woo'd very sweetly, if a bit awkwardly by a himbo Bugbear. (pictured below)

and arc 56 ( 1 ), where we play I Came Here to Win by Peach Garden Games. My primary character in this episode is Garion, a vampire tailor for the supernatural, desperately pretending for television that he is a Normal Adult Human Thank You. My secondary character is Daydream, a bitchy track star who is also just me blatently doing my best taako impression. Both of these fine boys are competing in a television show to become the lucky one to get a scholarship to a prestigious wizarding university.

Or you could jump right in with our current season, Ftl Presents: Pathfinder

A more traditional style of ttrpg actualplay, where we do a short campaign made up of the pathfinder official adventure modules! Its already shaping up to be quite the journey, and it's only getting more so by the week!

so yeah! give us a listen! and if you talk abt the show, we'd really appreciate it if you'd tag it #ftlcast so we can see what folks think!

IAN GALLAGHER + his journey with bipolar disorder

patreon coasts so hard on being the first big name in artist support/paywalling. no rss feeds for anything except podcasts. each patreon only gets one podcast feed so if they've got multiple 'shows' it's all jumbled up together. once you connect discord you're in the discord for every patreon you subscribe to, no option to be selective about it. there's ostensibly a shop function but only for digital items and barely anyone uses it, meanwhile there's all these sticker clubs that give you special shop passwords and codes to use on their actual functional website. writing posts in the patreon post editor sucks. they don't even offer things that would actually be useful, like letting artists collab and offer discounts to people who subscribe to multiple patreons as a bundle.

this got away from me but every time i want to listen to a podcast ad-free only to discover that i will need to subscribe to a patreon feed that includes six other podcasts i don't care about i want to gnaw on an ethernet cable

Everywhere Mobius goes, if there is a radio, a speaker— any music device, an old-timey love song will play.

Sometimes these songs cut off the current song or the radio host, leaving the host and listener confused.

Sometimes the radio is off and will randomly turn on and freak people out. But not Mobius.

Mobius loves all the songs that usually play. But there’s one song in particular that Loki plays that makes him smile the most.

“We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when, but I know we’ll meet again some sunny day…”

Okay but imagine Mike trying to flirt with Will but he has no idea how to bc he basically just kissed El and then she liked him

I mean the girl was okay with them having a sibling relationship ffs

anyway Mike knows he can’t just kiss Will and it’s all said and done so he try’s to flirt with him,it’s horrifying

Will is so confused bc why is his best friend suddenly so interested in going everywhere with him and not El,who keeps pulling him aside with a few of the others as they giggle and Mike goes bright red,it’s weird to him that they aren’t making out constantly like the last time he saw them as a couple especially since they said I love you to each other,I mean that one of the most romantic things to happen to a couple right,they should be all over each other

(I like to head canon that El would force Mike to flirt with Will along with several of the others,Dustin Lucas,Steve and Robin possibly and Nancy and Mike hates it bc it’s so embarrassing but I also like the idea that Mike has this internal conflict and is suffering trying to figure out how the actual fuck he is supposed to seduce William Bylers,his best friend and the most amazing person he has ever known)

basically Mike try’s to flirt with Will using really embarrassing tactics and Wills just like ‘ummm ok you do you ig but the worlds ending and your acting super weird so do you wanna talk about it or….’ and Mike just realised that Will loves him

him

He fell in love with him,the nerdy dnd obsessed geek bc Will is also a dnd obsessed geek and he is just himself just without the internalised homophobia (so s1 and 2 Mike) and then fast forward to love confession and Byler kiss

I can’t physically wait for s5 bc how the flying fuck are the duffers going to make Byler canon bc there are so many ways I can’t decide😭😭😭
