Had a great time playing a very different character in the first session of Marvel Galaxies. If you like Marvel Superheroes and TTRPGs, then you should check this new series out. My character, Jace, has a great journey to look forward to. If you enjoy this show you’ll probably also like many of the other shows over on Dreamslayer Studio.

The family of The Blindfather live a solitary life on the planet of New Haven. It is the only world they have ever known. It’s been a relatively peaceful existence. Until now. Ghosts of a past they never knew existed descend upon their humble farm, and life as they know it is about to change. Will they survive their first encounter with these strangers from the stars, or will the secrets that have been kept from them for generations be their doom? Find out in the first thrilling adventure of Marvel Galaxies! Inspired by the old comic book tales of What If? and 2015’s Secret Wars saga, we embark on a journey with a tightly knit family unit thrust into a Galaxy far, far away as the secrets of the past they never knew begin to unravel. If you’re a fan of the Fantastic Four’s family dynamic, the lore of the X-Men or the adventures of The Guardians of the Galaxy, the Children of the Blindfather are sure to carve a special place in your heart as we explore Marvel Galaxies!

Dragon Con Urban Fantasy Track: Slayers

This was a fun Dragon Con Urban Fantasy panel about one of my favorite settings, the Buffyverse. We discussed the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer audio drama, Slayers. It was great hearing James Marsters voice back as Spike! With him and so many other returning actors (Charisma Carpenter, Anthony Head, Juliet Landau, Emma Caulfield Ford, Amber Benson, James Charles Leary, Danny Strong) it felt like a reunion. What did we love about Slayers? What did we think of a Buffyverse show in an audio drama format? What character arc did we like best? If we get a season 2, what would we love to see…I mean hear? Watch and find out.

This “scripted audio original picks up 10 years after the events of the final episode of ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer.’ Since then, Spike (James Marsters) has gone deep undercover in Los Angeles, convincing the forces of darkness that he’s back to his evil ways. When his cover is compromised by sixteen-year-old Indira Nunnally (Laya DeLeon Hayes), Spike finds himself on baby-slayer-sitting duty once more. While he attempts to track down a watcher for his eager new protégé, their paths collide with the veteran Slayer of a parallel reality where Buffy Summers never existed…a reality where Cordelia Chase (Charisma Carpenter) is the one-and-only Slayer. She needs Spike’s help with a classic big bad terrorizing her world…his old flame, Drusilla (Juliet Landau).”

Actual Play – Ozark Requiem – Part 1 – Whispers in the Dark

Nothing ignites the imagination like Tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), so I’m always excited when I start a new Actual Play. This time we are in the post-apocalyptic Ozarks.

“Abaddon’s Descent: An Ozark Requiem is set in a post-apocalyptic world enslaved by demonic forces. Mankind is engaged in a never-ending battle against a tide of darkness that hungers for the last remnants of hope. Amidst the chaos, the heart of the Ozarks beats with a sinister rhythm.”

“We find ourselves in Silver Dollar City, a once-vibrant wild west theme park now transformed into a haven for a small group of survivors clinging to the fragile threads of their existence, daring to stand under the shadow of what they now refer to as Hell on Earth – the former entertainment capitol of the South – Branson Missouri.”

Abaddon’s Descent: An Ozark Requiem is an Everyday Heroes Horror Campaign based in a world created by the players utilizing new rules created by Dreamslayer Studios.

Had a fun time on this ConTinual panel talking about the many other great comic books out there that aren’t Marvel or DC.

Marvel and DC have brought some of the most iconic characters to the page and screen, but they aren’t the only ones. Are you looking for ways to branch out in your comics reading? Join host Nancy Northcott and panelists John L. French, Emily Lavin Leverett, and Marx Pyle for a chat about Comics Beyond the Big Two.
