The Podcast Mines: There But For The Grace Of Pod Go We

In this episode of Podcrash*, Holly and Lindsay take a deep dive into The Anime Sickos and The Podcast Mines: There But For The Grace Of Pod Go We, respectively. Specifically, they listened to the crossover episodes!

Holly listened to 79: The Sickos Work Retail, and Lindsay listened to Anime Sickos Sickos (feat. Anime Sicko Tom Harrison). Holly realizes that she is inadvertantly living out the podcasts that the duo listened to this week, while Lindsay uncovers the deep conspiracy behind the One Mic Stand podcast jam and also behind all of anime.

Our intro theme this week is a mashup of The Podcast Mines's theme by @NiceWizardMusic on Twitter, and the Anime Sickos theme, bridged by a Creative Commons airhorn sound by jacksonacademyashmore on Freesound. Our outro theme is Voxel Revolution by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

*We are unaffiliated with the Minecraft game maker of the same name, and did not know about them until after we named our podcast. Oops.

In this season premiere, Em and the Packbats set themselves a challenge: create a prologue to a YA creature horror story by first writing and then playing a new mini roleplaying game. Something is in this abandoned mine, and it has just been awoken.

Content warnings on the game part of the episode: body horror, allusion to retching, implied death by suffocation, and mention of bugs.

This podcast is hosted and produced by Em (if you know them, you can reach out!) and the Packbats ( https://www.patreon.com/packbat , https://packbat.itch.io/ ), who collaboratively designed the game below. The theme music for this episode was produced by the Packbats in LMMS and includes samples sourced from the Vintage Dreams Waves v2.0 soundfont by Ian Wilson https://musical-artifacts.com/artifacts/248 and the 2MGM soundfont by Yingchun Soul https://musical-artifacts.com/artifacts/1425 . The cover image was drawn by Em, who also edited this episode.

This pilot episode was originally produced for the One Mic Stand pod jam - https://itch.io/jam/one-mic-stand - organized by Riley Hopkins and Andrew Sherman of The Podcast Mines: https://the-podcast-mines.pinecast.co/

We dedicate this episode's game to you, geocachers, but we hope you go on to have many more runs.

First, describe the situation, establishing the scene around the mine entrance and the route the geocacher travels trying to escape. Plan out the key points for each turn - jumping a fence, starting up a hill, catching a glimpse of their car, moments like that which can function as prompts for the descriptions that come later. There should be enough that, after adding in the ending, each player will get an equal number of card draws and the scene will last an appropriately dramatic length of time.

Also, shuffle your deck of cards.

The game starts with one player describing the geocacher fleeing out the entrance of the mine. From there, players take turns drawing cards and adding to the scene with:

• a hint of the monster, based on the prompt associated with the card; and
• the next piece of description of the geocacher fleeing.

Be careful of each others' limits - this is a horror game, you don't want to accidentally cross lines - but being mindful of that constraint, be vivid with your descriptions. Do not reveal or establish too much about the monster, however.

The game ends with the first player drawing their last card, from which they describe the geocacher being caught with one final hint of the monster.

prompt grid:

hearts = sight diamonds = sound clubs = touch spades = smell

2 = pick your own 3 = wet 4 = angular 5 = scratchy 6 = fresh 7 = vivid 8 = crackly 9 = animalistic 10 = soapy J = metamorphizing Q = stretchy K = dusty A = deep

Welcome back, fixers! Riley and Jacqueline have returned with their classic podcast to once again patch up the critical flaws in TV shows and movies you just can't ignore.

It's all ending this week as we take on the job of improving two season finales with a couple of amazing TTRPGs. First we tackle The Legend of Korra's S1E12, "Endgame," where rather than digging at some of the major problems at the core of the series, we instead try to right the path of Korra's character arc in Season 1's immediate ending using Anamnesis by Blinking Birch Games. Second, we visit the Dragonfly Inn in Gilmore Girls' S4E22, "Raincoats and Recipes", where we'd rather see literally anything else happen than Rory and Dean fuck - and so it shall be as the doors to the inn lock and we initiate a game of You Can Check Out Any Time You Like, But You Can Never Leave by Marn S.

Intro/Outro: "Peachy Sunbite Down Bubble Tea Quarry" by Michael Hudak (https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR04372)
