This week, Nick and Percy are joined by Christina Tang, 1/3rd of interactive theater collective Sour Milk! We talk about their upcoming show, DIRT, a speculative piece about urban planning, collective decision-making, and building stuff out of food.
no context spoilers from our final recording session of our upcoming season courtesy of @jonjonjon.bsky.social
At the conclusion of our @stillfleet.bsky.social campaign, Nick sits down with the cast to discuss the experience, the ways success and failure are framed in it, and what it’s like to play such profoundly non-human characters in a far-future setting.
And so our 7 episode miniseries has come to a close! @miekogavia.bsky.social, @jonjonjon.bsky.social, Kory Flores, and Chris Diercksen were an amazing cast, and @stillfleet.bsky.social wrote an incredible game AND was a fantastic guest star.
In the thrilling finale to Start the Steal, the Voidminers must figure out how to complete their ultimate mission: beating up some “artists” whose “gallery” they’re seizing on behalf of the “Dutch East India Company in space.”
catch our finale OUT NOW!

The voidminers return to the Escheresque under orders to neutralize the fearsome Void Elves, but they find that their enemies’ ship is of a nature they never expected - and bears power that they could never have imagined. But access to that power comes at a terrible price…

The voidminers return to Spindle to report to their supervisors at the Worshipful Company. Surely there’s a way to turn their failures into a string of sparkling successes…and avoid the Rebranding Hall?
hop over to your podcatcher of choice to see what happens next in START THE STEAL!
this week, @nsorvis.bsky.social and @percivalhornak.bsky.social sit down with ensemble member Christopher Diercksen to talk about character creation systems and what kinds of stories and storytelling they afford!

Me at the end of the scheduling session for the next arc of @dndramanerds.bsky.social
(It's all my fault and I'm very excited.)
Far from home on a strange planet, our heroes(?) are faced with a daunting new foe: a flying saucer full of horrifying Void Elves! Even worse: they’re artists.
tune into the continuation of our @stillfleet.bsky.social campaign on your podcatcher of choice!
Oh boy, do we looove the Escheresque—AKA extradimensional space, the Inside-Out, foldspace, honeyspace, Weirdspace, Whatsthat, the Big Bigger-on-the-Inside, the cosmic guts, the Back Alley, goopland, the Really Not Good, the Getmeouts Reaches, the place your other sock disappears into—
our campaign of @stillfleet.bsky.social picks back up as our intrepid team of voidminers descends into the Escheresque...

today on the pod we interview Wythe Marschall, designer of @stillfleet.bsky.social, about science fiction, speculative futures, and all things Stillfleet and the GRIT system!
thanks for the heads up!
On the planet Darasan, the intrepid team of voidminers works to get every vote counted (even the fishy ones) - but when a third party intervenes, they’re forced to take a stand for one of their own.
Listen to the next episode of our @stillfleet.bsky.social campaign, START THE STEAL, out now!
