Usually, family reunions are a time for celebration. THIS family reunion, however - the one where Hickory Harmon finds out that Joseph "Joey" Stufkovsky, a carpetbagger who has lawful claim to the family estate - is anything BUT a celebration. Hickory has decided that what this meeting needs is a shotgun start. The question is - who's going to be on the receiving end of it?

After a week hiatus, we're back! With a town-altering flood, Jug's Corner overrun by a storm god, and the -alleged- antichrist born down in the hollers, you'd think Tumbleson County had just about all the irons in the fire it could handle. You'd also be wrong. When a stranger from up north rolls into Youngtown, the town gets some surprising news. There's a new heir to the Harmon estate and some people aren't too thrilled about it. And, if you were a simple, mundane Yankee, you might not be thrilled about what you're about to inherit. Who is this carpetbagger-turned-citizen and what does his arrival in the land of milk and honey mean to the power struggle currently reshaping itself in the aftermath of the storm? We're all about to find out.

Bobby-Jack McGee has stumbled into the presence of someone familiar - someone who needs to have a conversation with Wee Humphrey of royal proportions. Meanwhile, Horace has found himself in rather UNFAMILIAR territory as he's found his cousin, Snake-Hands Jimmy, and a very pregnant Crazy Jane Marmalade who appears to be moments away from being pregnant no longer. Things around Tumbleson County are about to take another twisted turn because someone is leaving... and something is arriving.

Bobby-Jack, Zenobia, Sam, and the newly-crowned King Humphrey managed to find and save Shannon "Little Debbie" Ferguson, but not before getting into a little tussle-come-usurping. Now, Sam has run back to town with the children to patch up Deb... Shannon's leg. Zenobia is having to tend to an injured Humphrey after his battle for his kingdom. Bobby-Jack... well... he's found himself face-to-face with something familiar from his past. And while one Ferguson has been rescued, another is about to find himself in a whole heap of trouble. It's just the kind of troublesome times you've come to expect in Tumbleson County. How does it all get resolved? Listen and find out!

Humphrey, Zenobia, Sam, and Bobby-Jack have found Little Deb... er... Shannon Ferguson. The problem is, something has found them as well. Now, the group must make some tough decisions - none more tougher than what the newly crowned ruler of Tumbleson County must face. Will Wee Humphrey be a good king or a good boy? And what will his decision mean for the fates of his friends and his vassals? Tune into the conclusion of this play session and find out!

As the clean up in Tumbleson County continues and as Bobby-Jack regains his control over his body, it comes to light that one of the Fergusons, Shannon, broke away from the group of young men being led to the Sunflower Lumber Mill to work for the Erlichmanns. Chances are more than likely though that the group will find more than they bargained for during their search for the boy.

Aaron speaks with Jason Blair - author, game designer, and lead writer on the upcoming video game, Agents of Mayhem - about his new RPG, Kung Fu Animals, currently on Kickstarter!

Horace had managed to get one serious threat out of town following the flood, but Tumbleson County has a way of quickly replacing one solved problem with three new ones. A familiar Ferguson has stumbled into town with news that will turn Youngtown more upside down than the rising Ol' Muddy managed to do. And if that wasn't bad enough, Horace's detouring of William Pelley has had both intended and unintended consequences. The storm may have subsided, but no one is out the water just yet.

They're wanted in seven systems and UNWANTED in the rest. Now, they're beaming down to Absalom Station. What could possibly go wrong? Incident at Absalom Station is the last of four adventures broadcast live in September 2017 with our friends from Freelance Heroism for our Roll for Relief campaign to help out the victims of Hurricane Harvey. Join Deece Cassius, Ashley Crowder, Bubba Downs, Larissa Erwin, David Walker, and GM Raechel Moore as this less-than-interpid crew wreaks havoc on Absalom. Enjoy!

The storm has subsided, but the damage is far from done in Tumbleson County. There are now usurpers in the land of the Good King, Wee Humphrey, and the battle for "God's Country" has itself a few more gods in the game. The Passenger, having lurked on the sidelines since Sam and Bobby Jack's return from the past, isn't sitting idle any longer. This one's plans have brought something rolling into town even worse than the floodwaters that are still receding. With its citizens at their most vulnerable, can the group stand up to this latest threat to Youngtown? (NOTE: As this session includes a reference to actual, and very regrettable, American history as part of the plot, we want our sensitive audience members to be advised before diving into this week's audio.)

Chippy Fisher is having to put out a fire at The Barnstormer - literally. Stephen Moore has been lost to time and space in nothing but his jockstrap. Sammy Squirrel is acting squirrely, and not the way he's supposed to, and is giving Emmeline fits. Grayson is trying to track down a missing boat and a missing supervisor which is causing him to miss his usual pastimes of huffing spray paint and getting intimate with himself. As bad as things are, and that's not even counting the nine dead bodies on Walter's Archipelago, they're are just about to get worse. Just what the hell is going on at the Castaway Tree and how do all these calamities fit? Buckle in and keep your hands and arms in the ride at all times, folks, because you're about to find out.

An out-of-sorts substitute in a squirrel suit, a rattled rollercoaster operator, a suspiciously missing supervisor, an interdimensonal orgy, and on... fou... okay, NINE dead bodies. Chippy, Emmeline, Grayson, and Stephen have certainly gotten themselves surrounded by a very interesting cast of characters as all hell has broken loose at Dooneyland. When people are found hanging around the Castaway Tree on Walter's Archipelago... literally... it's up to the crew to clean up the mess while keeping the guests in the dark and discovering the truth behind the apparent suicides. Of course, to find out why people appear to be killing themselves, they'll have to keep from killing each other first.

The deluge is on in Tumbleson, but rain isn't the only thing harassing the county's citizens. Sinister forces that have been lying in wait have now been sprung upon Youngtown - a myriad of elder gods and supernatural forces prey upon the flood-ravaged plains of Tumbleson, eager to overthrow the dog-turned-man-turned-short-order-cook-turned-king, Wee Humphrey. With power precariously in play, what will the group do? Save the town? Defend the king? Seize control for themselves? Or, will the rising waters carry everyone away before they have a chance to find out? Tune in for the chaotic conclusion to this session!

An extraordinary series of events - the Passenger's arrival, the near-kidnapping of Baby Charlie Connerly, Zenobia's removal of the seal at the old Badlands church, a trip back in time to fulfill a prophecy and birth a very special child, and a group of Ferguson children and their friends being spared from the Lonely Time - have culminated in the brewing storm that Sam Wesson has seen through her third eye for weeks to finally break over Tumbleson County. Now, with flood waters rising and townsfolks scrambling for higher ground, our favorite Tumblesonians are trying to do the best they can to save themselves and others. But the storm has brought more than rain and far more than the citizens of Youngtown bargained for. As the creeks and rivers burrow new channels through once-parched land, powerful forces are also tunneling their way into the county... and drowning will be the least of everyone's problems if they succeed.

Abby, Lizzie, Johnny, Beau, and Grady only thought they were up to their necks in trouble when Granny Harmon, still out to fulfill her end of the bargain during the Lonely Time, eyeballed the five of them. Their problems, however, are only beginning...

The Lonely Time - a mysterious time when some of Tumbleson County's children are led off into the woods and only some of them return - is just about to dawn on Youngtown once more. Five children are about to find themselves face to face with the awful truth behind exactly what happens!

Think you've heard every misadventure the Minions have ever survived? Think again! When the gang returned from Arborea with the Glass of Truth and a magic wagon in tow... and literally crashed an Eladrin wedding in the process... the Minions took a few days off while Salle the Sorceress took the newly-christened Stabbin' Wagon in for some upgrades. Not content to remain idle, nor stay partially stainless steel, Bullock Borneoake did some research and now thinks he's found a doorway to a city run by Warforged that might be able to help him out of his platinum-plated predicament. Now all he has to do is convince the others. Simple? Riiiiight. This game was played and broadcast live on Twitch in September 2017 with our friends from Freelance Heroism for our Roll for Relief campaign to help out the victims of Hurricane Harvey. We proudly present it again, in its entirety, for you to roll out the new year with!

The Lonely Time - a mysterious time when some of Tumbleson County's children are led off into the woods and only some of them return - is just about to dawn on Youngtown once more. Five children are about to find themselves face to face with the awful truth behind exactly what happens. Join Aaron, Nate, Larissa, Suraj, Carol, and Michael for a special character creation session to kick off this story arc!

The twisted tale of The Long Way Back concludes! The time-traveling duo of Sam Wesson and the Passenger, along with a younger (albeit still just as shotgun-ny) Zenobia Albreicht and a mysterious assassin/relic hunter name Warren, had infiltrated the domain of Geiser Yarl, a man who wanted Zenobia dead and who might also somehow have angle on Sam's surprise baby-to-be. When Jarl turned out to be someone much more entwined in Zenobia's past than she expected, he's quickly gunned down while the Passenger manipulated Sam to cleanse everything else in her own unique way. Now, with a fire burning, water breaking, and weird and sinister plotlines converging, the quartet is off to St. Dismas to bring a new... child... into the world. Pay close attention because, when this one is over, the past will be shattered, the future will be guaranteed, a deal will be struck, and a shocking revelation will be made!

A very pregnant Sam Wesson and very schizophrenic Bobby-Jack McGee have been transported back in time to 1915 thanks to the Passenger and his knife. Heading into Jubilation, Louisiana to try and make heads or tails of their predicament, they seriously confused a priest and ran into a very recognizable shotgun-wielding woman who, despite Sam's best efforts, grew quickly suspicious of the pair thanks to Bobby's gregarious nature. To keep her from trying to dig too deep into the situation, Sam and Bobby-Jack agreed to help track down someone Zenobia claimed was a threat to her. However, before they could take care of business, a duo of apparent assassins got the jump on Sam, Bobby and Zenobia, inadvertently releasing the Passenger, and causing bedlam in the Devil's Backyard. Unfortunately, things are only going to get worse. What does Zenobia want with the man known as Guizer Yarl? How does the mysterious would-be assassin Warren and his apprentice factor into the mix? Will Sam survive a shoout in the str
