Party Of One Podcast

Dan is one half of Breaking Mayberry, an anti-nostalgia podcast about watching old TV (starting with, as the title suggests, The Andy Griffith Show) and figuring out how it broke your grandparents' brains.After last week's episode all about analyzing TV and talking about storytelling, we wanted to spotlight the fun and goofiness of old genre TV. And we couldn't have found a better example than Shitty Ensigns, an RPG about poorly equipped Starfleet ensigns bumbling their way through missions.BREAKING MAYBERRY: https://pod.link/BreakingMayberrySHITTY ENSIGNS: https://litzabronwyn.itch.io/shitty-ensignsFOLLOW BREAKING MAYBERRY ON SOCIAL: https://breakingmayberry.bsky.social/FOLLOW MARTY ON SOCIAL: https://bsky.app/profile/lokrobster.bsky.socialALL MY FANTASY CHILDREN: http://www.allmyfantasychildren.com/PARTY OF ONE DISCORD: https://discordapp.com/invite/SxpQKmKSUPPORT JEFF ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/jeffstormerFOLLOW JEFF ON TWITCH: www.twitch.tv/gmjeffstormerTHEME SONG: Mega Ran feat.

Marty is one of the hosts of Breaking Mayberry, an anti-nostalgia podcast focused on watching old TV (starting with, as the title suggests, The Andy Griffith Show) and assessing what holds up and what caused permanent damage to the psyche of an entire generation.We wanted to talk TV, and storytelling, and the weird politics of creating collaborative art, and so we sat down with Lights Out, a game about the last day on set of a long running TV show.BREAKING MAYBERRY: https://pod.link/BreakingMayberryLIGHTS OUT: https://toomanyfeelings5.itch.io/lights-outFOLLOW BREAKING MAYBERRY ON SOCIAL: https://breakingmayberry.bsky.social/FOLLOW MARTY ON SOCIAL: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:hl7sjaet2cgudirra4xt4nojALL MY FANTASY CHILDREN: http://www.allmyfantasychildren.com/PARTY OF ONE DISCORD: https://discordapp.com/invite/SxpQKmKSUPPORT JEFF ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/jeffstormerFOLLOW JEFF ON TWITCH: www.twitch.tv/gmjeffstormerTHEME SONG: Mega Ran feat.

Mirror Match is a role-playing game love letter to fighting games. Players create warriors based on shared themes and origins before facing off in arena combat. Inspired by two-player fighting games, sessions see new characters constantly enter the fray and the game provides scaffolding to create your own universe of mad ninja, shotgun-toting wizards, dragon-gods, and more. All of those characters will face off in the viscera-soaked court of Bloody Mary and only you can decide how they'll fare in her wicked gaze. I sat down with the game's designer, Jackson Adams, to see the game in action.MIRROR MATCH: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/444568/mirror-matchJACKSON ADAMS: https://bsky.app/profile/jacksoninacup.bsky.socialALL MY FANTASY CHILDREN: http://www.allmyfantasychildren.com/PARTY OF ONE DISCORD: https://discordapp.com/invite/SxpQKmKSUPPORT JEFF ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/jeffstormerFOLLOW JEFF ON TWITCH: www.twitch.tv/gmjeffstormerTHEME SONG: Mega Ran feat.
