Horror

What could possibly go wrong in a place where nobody can die? We're answering just such a question courtesy of patron DiploRaptor in the first episode of this two-part series where Death has loosened its grip on a single city! Rob brings the fun, Courtney brings the horror, and a very sleep-deprived Daniel brings...the gnomes. And tales of Disney employment. And questionable financial advice related to Peeps Pepsi. Daniel, please get more sleep.

When the lines are so blurred, how will you know when you've crossed them to the point of no return? This series, we're joined by guest Ian from the Undercommon Taste podcast for a horror-focused prompt communally developed by our patrons, featuring cosmic and body horror, cults and rituals, powerlessness and torture, and so much more. If you thought we couldn't cram more blood into this spooky season, you thought very, very wrong.

In an extra-spooky patron-exclusive Aphid Lounge episode, we sit down to discuss horror: What is it, at its roots? What media handles it well? And how can you incorporate it into RPGs without making your players overwhelmingly despondent? Tune in for talk of tension and foreshadowing, violence and gore, subversion and perversion, fragility and powerlessness, and all that good spooky stuff!

In space, no one can hear you scream...except for whatever lurks in the wormholes. This week, we're exploring horror in the form of interstellar travel and psychological crises. Also emissions-enforcing eco-cops. And pirates. It all makes sense, we swear.

This episode, we give a hearty welcome to Spooktober with an endless conflict fueled by necromancers and their resurrected soldiers, which for some mysterious reason gets pretty dark. Tune in for fun and uplifting topics such as, Can you revive a body that's been turned into pulp? Just how much blood do you need to make a coagulated blood altar? How can you best destroy any sense of hope? And more!
