    MD 412 - The Fluffy Detective w/ Brigitte Winter (Scryptid Games, Assemblage, The Goodest Girls, Psychic Trash Detectives)

Crowdfunding now is Cryptids: Games, Stories, & Uncanny Ephemera. Follow Brigitte: website - IG - Bluesky - Itch Follow Scryptid: Website - IG - Bluesky - Facebook - YouTube MD 412 - The Fluffy Detective w/ Brigitte Winter The Fluffy Detective (TFD) was exiled from a heavenly realm to make the world a better place by solving mysteries. They can return home once they solve their final mystery. TFD wears a classic noir trench coat that’s filled with adorable, cuddling critters that are the bodiless spirits of mysteries that need to be solved. Their power increases based on the amount of unsolved mysteries in the coat. TFD’s furry face can shift into any of the faces associated with the mysteries in their coat. TFD gains some of that spirit’s memories, mannerisms, and helps them blend into different situations. Strange music plays while the face transformation takes place. Photos of TFD come out blurry, and they have the power to make others not remember them if they wish.

    MD 408 - Terra Cotta Dream Thieves w/ Brad Kerr (Between Two Cairns, Necrotic Gnome, The Dream Shrine)

    This week’s guest is Brad Kerr, writer, editor, game designer and co-host of the podcast Between Two Cairns. We talk about his work with Necrotic Gnome (Old-School Essentials Starter Set & Old-School Essentials Demonic Grimoire, Carcass Crawler), The Dream Shrine, Hideous Daylight, Temple of 1000 Swords, Sun Bathers (Old School Essentials - Adventure Anthologies Vol. 1). Follow Brad: Website - Bluesky - Itch - Between Two Cairns MD 408 - Terra Cotta Dream Thieves w/ Brad Kerr The Terra Cotta Dream Thieves (TCDT) are a rock band of fired-clay monsters who rampage through a town, grabbing people and dragging them across a PPP, painting with their blood and gore. The PPP (Psychedelic Projection Pillow): This magic item is a pillow made of rock, yet it’s incredibly comfortable to sleep on. A process of smashing a humanoid body against this rock is called ‘Blood-Painting,’ as gory sacrifices are necessary as material spell components. If one is blood-painted and dies, their ghost is locked into the PPP. Smashing a PPP returns the stolen dreams to their owner, and releases the ghosts trapped within. Uses of the PPP are as follows: Dream Projection: all of the stolen dreams and ghosts’ memories merge together in a psychedelic mélange of images and color. A target hit directly with a dream projection must save or become hypnotized.Ghost Glean: When you sleep on a PPP, you commune with the ghosts trapped within and may attempt to glean information that they knew in life.Art: Tiger Wizard  Words: Steve Albertson Story by: Andrew Bellury, Steve Albertson, Brad Kerr ANNOUNCEMENTS PAX Unplugged : Hang out with Tiger Wizard and Dragon Warrior Nov. 21-23.  Tails From the Night Market: Tiger Wizard’s project for Mausritter Month, co-written and co-illustrated with Joey Royale.

    MD 405 - H.O.M.E.: Sly Motherships w/ Jarrett Crader (Space Penguin Ink)

    This week’s guest is Jarrett Crader of Space Penguin Ink, who’s on their 68th release! We talk Forbidden Psalms, Liminal Horror RPG, the Cairn 2E box set, The Ghosts of Zoazanna Mountain, Survivors of the Core Wars: an NPC deck for Mothership RPG, and Seas of Sand by Sam Sorensen Follow Jarrett Crader: Website - X - Instagram MD 405 - H.O.M.E.: Sly Motherships w/ Jarrett Crader On the top of a frozen mountaintop is H.O.M.E., the current nesting grounds of sentient spaceships called motherships. Each mothership lies hidden under the snow where it has burrowed a nest to incubate their kinderships in the cold. Nesting grounds can be found in any planet’s arctic conditions during their nesting season. Each metallic black mothership is the size of a city, and has a birthing canal that slingshots out 1d4 kinderships at the conclusion of the birthing season. They launch out of this tube at rocket speed, flying into space before returning to their mothership. The motherships defend themselves with a psychedelic avalanche of kaleidoscopic snow. When hit, you go on a psychedelic trip for 1d4 days. People use this as a recreational drug called S.N.O.W.  Snow Angels are a thrill-seeking hobbyist group that follows the motherships to their birthing grounds to have a big gay dance party surrounding the birthing event. They sell mag-boots specifically designed to traverse a mothership’s exterior and subdue the effects of psychedelic avalanches to recreational levels. Kinderships are one-of-a-kind smaller sentient spaceships that can fit a crew of 2-10 people, depending on the ship’s proportions. They grow very slowly, over hundreds of years, to eventually become a mothership. They will stay with their parental mothership until they find a crew that’s worthy of them.
