Things are getting weird both in the lab and in the world. Not much time to post this. #PetriPeople forever!

It seems like Tanam might be close to wrapping things up? So many clues! For the characters it has only been a few days, but for the players it's been... a bit longer. Tanam should not be surprised that they don't remember anything. #PetriPeople www.coffeecultsandempires.com/2026/04/05/e...

(wanted to note that separate from the episode announcement)

Creepy person who keeps lurking in the hallway outside the lab at night: STOP. IT.

Still. On. Lab. Floor. So tired. Episode, though! #PetriPeople www.coffeecultsandempires.com/2026/03/22/e...

Posting this from the lab floor. Yup. Still here. The crew is making some progress, though! Will they be able to resist the siren song call of Double Breakfast?! www.coffeecultsandempires.com/2026/03/08/e... #PetriPeople

So, posting this from where I'm at feels weird. But on with the show, right! I say more in the intro. Don't worry, I'm okay. The world is okay, too. The crew, especially Ruffort and Georg, are being idiots, though. But that's also okay. #PetriPeople www.coffeecultsandempires.com/2026/02/22/e...

I swear to me. They really do take *forever* to do *anything*. If I could talk to Tanam, this is probably the first thing that I'd say. But, honestly, every RPG I've ever played goes the same way, sooooooo..... #PetriPeople

www.coffeecultsandempires.com/2026/02/08/e...

My boss is right. We should probably start talking about Ikky's. So, no more discussion of it. Mostly. We do get to see Urekas's cult, though, which is fine because *that's* fiction. #PetriPeople

So mad that Hannah / Olhana had to go incarnate and be creepy now means that I can't travel by catapult. Don't tell me you wouldn't want to, because I won't believe you. The crew is in Klaoil, after getting there by catapult and I'm jealous. www.coffeecultsandempires.com/2026/01/11/e... #PetriPeople

It seems like Rosie might have given up on destroying the world! In the game, they've finished the ritual and now they get to see the results! Why are they so mad at Tanam? #PetriPeople

www.coffeecultsandempires.com/2025/12/28/e...

Uh... Nothing has changed? Weird, huh? But Calumn is gonna have some growth! And we finally get Georg's ritual! #PetriPeople

www.coffeecultsandempires.com/2025/12/14/e...

Did I screw up massively or did I simply do what I was supposed to do? Also mind control? #PetriPeople

www.coffeecultsandempires.com/2025/11/30/e...

what is in that cellar that Hellena tripped over? way back in like episode... 5? I'm not actually in direct communication with Tanam, so I've been dying to know, too! Also, I think whoever designed the chronoscope was a lot like Don? Maybe? www.coffeecultsandempires.com/2025/11/16/e... #PetriPeople

this place is *so* weird. I mean the lab. In the game, things are mostly hilarious. #PetriPeople

www.coffeecultsandempires.com/2025/11/02/e...

Apparently some scientist who used to work here incarnated into the world to rate coffees? Like, a tier list? Anyway, Urekas has run into the actual Second, after Ruffort has been pretending to be the Second. #PetriPeople www.coffeecultsandempires.com/2025/10/19/e...

I've been reflecting on how sus the Second is. Like, he's pretty sus, right? IDK what do you all think?

No time today! It's fine. Everything's fine. Just short on time!

But! Episode 22!
www.coffeecultsandempires.com/2025/09/21/e...

#PetriPeople

OMself I never posted about Ep20! We haven't heard anything from Rosie recently, and I'm considering that a good thing. #PetriPeople

In the episode, Georg and Ruffort are heading to help out Beeb. This is FINE.
www.coffeecultsandempires.com/2025/08/24/e...

Y'all. There's an Intern-worshiping cult and you won't believe how it started! In less clickbaity news, Tagak and Teep need to get the heck outta town before the Sorceress shows up. #PetriPeople

I'm back on my chronoscope grind and I don't know why I keep saying that. And typing it. Anyway... EPISODE!

Harmony has a surprise for us... and coincidentally so does Urekas, it turns out?

www.coffeecultsandempires.com/2025/07/27/e...

#PetriPeople #ttrpg #ActualPlay

OMG HARMONY AND DON. On a scale of 1 to horrible how bad do you think their breakup was?!? Oh. right. also the crew is trying to figure out what to do about the Sorceress. BUT I AM HERE FOR THE HARMONY AND DON DRAMA.

www.coffeecultsandempires.com/2025/07/13/e...

Y'all.... my boss sent me another voice mail. At least this one doesn't have any document corrections in it! The crew is back at the Hall and they of course immediately get into trouble again.

#PetriPeople #CCE #CoffeeCultsAndEmpires #ttrpg #ActualPlay

We get to find out about what they've *actually* been playing this whole time -- and there are some weird coincidences that I am super into. And they get to level up! And it's totally weird and fun!

www.coffeecultsandempires.com/2025/06/15/e...

So, I didn't get to join them in Klaoil, but I did get to hear them talking about it afterwards. No it's not creepy. Don't at me.

#PetriPeople #CCE #CoffeeCultsAndEmpires #ttrpg #ActualPlay

www.coffeecultsandempires.com/2025/06/01/e...

Everyone met up in Klaoil. Without me. I mean, of course without me. They don't even know that I know them. I didn't expect that I'd feel... like, FOMO?

I used the chronoscope to check out hot rocks! What did I learn? Find out on this episode! www.coffeecultsandempires.com/2025/05/18/e...

Also Harmony and Don are inviting everyone to visit them in Klaoil?! I might be jealous. Just a little.

So, my boss left me a voicemail... IKR? But I think it means that he's listening to the show. so that's... fun? The crew is still hanging out at the Sorceress's tower; why wouldn't they? 🙄
