    Episode 16: Goodbye Horses

    The coven is out for the count. Samson has gone white-eyed from the Boost power. Robert has passed out from ill-advised demon summoning exertions.

    Episode 15: Anime Power-Up Sequence

    Bonus: Creating Samson Sycamore

    The COVEN crew is hella busy this week, so instead of a new mainline story we've got a bonus episode for you! This recording is from months and months back, with Kieffer behind the creation of bugle-blowing businessman Samson Sycamore.   Content Warnings: AIDS and HIV, bodily fluids, demons, Vietnam. Our players are Gary Slack, Sharon Mariem, Kieffer Katz, and Noah Lloyd. Our theme is by Ben Cronin. Our cover art is by Daniel Stettner.  Find us on twitter @coven_podcast. Sorcerer by Ron Edwards.

    Episode 14: Blades in the Arcade

    Joan, Robert, and Samson face off against Travis Trent, in a fight that turns out to be truly for their lives... Also, in a masterful work of time compression, we spend nearly an hour of game time on only a few seconds of diegetic (that's "within the world of the narrative") time. Some would call this a highly successful work of cinematic exploration.   Content Warnings: AIDS and HIV, demons, discussion of sick children, knives, illness, swampiness. Our players are Gary Slack, Sharon Mariem, Kieffer Katz, and Noah Lloyd. Our theme is by Ben Cronin. Our cover art is by Daniel Stettner.  Find us on twitter @coven_podcast. Sorcerer by Ron Edwards.

Our players are Gary Slack, Sharon Mariem, Kieffer Katz, and Noah Lloyd. Our theme is by Ben Cronin. Our cover art is by Daniel Stettner.  Find us on twitter @coven_podcast. Sorcerer by Ron Edwards.
