Incoming from Merely Roleplayers! Omicron ate our episode buffer, but we've grown it back from the stubble and now we're back to regular releasing from 16 August.
Next up from Merely Roleplayers
16 August:
Vigil: Quarry
A Monster of the Week mystery in 4 acts
Hoofbeats echo off Sherrydown's cobbled streets as Cam, Brier, Melody and Renko race full tilt into their bloodiest adventure yet.
Contains blood, bloody violence, and a character experiencing fallout from childhood trauma.
11 October:
Monumental Exit
A Fiasco in 3 acts
After 67 years, Bilbo Biltong's ready to quit the band. But who out there could possibly step into his worn old shoes?
Contains hard drug use, lewd and morbid imagery, and a funeral scene
22 November:
Vigil: All Aboard
A Monster of the Week mystery in a number of acts to be confirmed, probably 5
A way long shut is open again, promising to carry away all souls stuck in Sherrydown. Will Jess, Calistarius, Gwynned and Harper make it to the end of the line?
And don't forget:
The Feed
A slow burn comic horror powered by Black Armada's Unreal system
Seven housemates enter the Big Brother house. They're signing up to be watched 24/7 - but can they even trust the evidence of their own eyes?
Check our pinned post or visit merelyroleplayers.com to catch all these productions and hundreds of past episodes!
I've been looking forward to letting this one loose! It's a ton of silly fun. No need to have listened to anything else @merelyroleplayers has ever done, this is a clean jumping-on point for a daft three-episode story about geriatric prog rockers, one of whom may or may not be an avatar of Death.
Monumental Exit, Act 1
After 67 years, Bilbo Biltong’s quitting the band. Somewhere out there is a star worthy of stepping into his well worn shoes - but where?

ROLEPLAYING GAME SYSTEM: Fiasco Classic by Jason Morningstar
MUSIC BY: Alexander Pankhurst
EDITED AND PRODUCED BY: Matt Boothman
It is an absolutely genius feature of Fiasco that just when you've played enough scenes for your character to claw their way out of the muck they start in, just when your character maybe gets a glimpse of something like resolution, the game has you generate a load more complications - one of which is usually "something precious is on fire"
With all the pieces in place for the final act, the cast finds out some new complications that are sure to upset the board.

I think it was very restrained of us not to bring up the murder until act 2
Bit of terminology clash here - we call our episodes acts, and Fiasco calls everything before the tilt act 1 and everything after it act 2. So Monumental Exit Acts 1 and 2 are act 1 of the game, and Act 3 is act 2 of the game. I had to leave a couple of bits in the edit where I'm like "here we are, im act 2!" but it's in Act 3 😬
Monumental Exit, Act 2
Everything’s ready for Bilbo’s swansong at the Beanstalk, but one roadie’s vendetta against the venue owner threatens to stain his perfect farewell.

And now it finally becomes clear why I put all that fire in the episode art 🔥🗡🐯
Monumental Exit, Act 3
A geriatric crowd fills the Beanstalk Show Club for a gig that’s sure to go down in rock’n’roll history.
