We have a brand-new series starting on Pocket-Sized Play today!

Monsterhearts: Mercy Falls ’83 runs for eleven episodes. The first three episodes will be out this week. They then release once per week after that. If you are a $2+ Patron, you have access to all the episodes right now.

Below is a link to Episode 01. It’s not exactly “pocket-sized” in the way we have previously defined it, but that’s because it is Session 0 type stuff. If you want to hear how a really nice Monsterhearts set up goes, this is a great place to look.

Thanks to all the players: Lauren McManamon Fraser Simons Philipp Neitzel Gerrit Reininghaus and Tomer Gurantz (Gerritt and Tomer enter on Episode 03). And special thanks to Fraser for putting the show together.

Enjoy!

I find myself lately frustrated by the tendency in our hobby to elevate and promote the same people over and over again. Dreamation this year was a reminder that there is so much good stuff being put out in the world, but the vast majority of it will never be seen by a wider audience. What do we have to do to elevate the voices of new people? Even more important, what do you need, as a consumer, to consider the work of someone other than these #SameFiveDudes?
