Solve This Murder will be returning soon! A new mystery (The Actor’s Assassination) is coming, written by Bill and played by Dani. Part 1 is coming on the 26th of January.

Play This Game is back in 2024! Every week we’ll be streaming over at twitch.tv/playthisgame_live on Saturday at 11am AEDT (Friday evening in the US) and on Sunday at 9pm AEDT (Good for a European Sunday late morning/afternoon).

Hey it's Bill!

I'm super excited for a new TTRPG I'm playing!

Tomorrow at 8pm US mountain time, I'm playing my first session of Vaesen with Level 1 Geek. It's a Nordic Horror/Mystery solving game that should be a huge amount of fun and actually require us to think more than roll dice!
I'd love for you to join and watch live, or at least catch up on the VODs through the week.

We are a team of geeks! Our mission is to create a place where people of all kinds can learn about tabletop RPGs and embrace their geek side. We play games like D&D and PF2E as well as lots of indie RPGs. Come and stay awhile - you might just find your next game.

On patreon right now, and every week from today, Dani is posting sections of a Choose Your Own Adventure style story. Every week you vote on the next choice. The first section is up for anyone, and then each future part will be available for all patrons.

Dani here!

Thank you all so, so much for the birthday emails last week! I don’t quite understand how so many of you coordinated to make your subject lines “Urgent business!” and “Really important podcast stuff!” to make sure I read them immediately, but it was highly effective. Well played.

You guys are all amazing and sweet and talented, and I’m glad we have you as listeners. Stay awesome!

09/10/2021

Hey everyone it's Dani's birthday tomorrow (the 10th of October, which for us starts in 10.5 hours).

I'm sure she would love some birthday wishes from everyone, so if you could send something to our email address ([email protected]) it would be a lovely surprise for her to wake up to.

Thanks everyone!
