Beta Test Humans is a set of various TTRPGs sessions but with a twist. Instead of raw commentary from the table, it's highly edited to keep pace and to add immersive elements such as sound effects and music to turn it into something akin to a radio play. Enjoy while on a drive or at work or doing chores, but it's best enjoyed with the least amount of other sound interference in your real environment, as some sound effects are subtle but important.

Whatever dark machinations the eldritch had have started in motion. Ben and Joe bear witness and have a chance to frame the incident how they choose, but how they proceed may very well hold the fate of many ignorant souls. Will they make the right choices?

    Best Intentions Ep1: A Mysterious Disappearance

    The first episode of the first season of the "Phantasmagorium" series. What you can expect from this series is a hybrid between a fully immersive radio play and a tabletop roleplaying game. Basically what you'd expect from a TTRPG but edited down to just the story and key table moments. Sound effects and music tracks are used to build the environment for the listener and amplify moods and tensions in scenes. Ep1: Tony, our keeper (GM) explains some basics of the game. Spencer and Dave give the basic info on their characters, then the adventure begins. The year is 1923 and Benjamin Harris, P.I. is contacted to track down a man who's gone missing. Sensing something more to this case, he asks his pal Joseph Wheatley for assistance. Surely the strange witness testimonies about the manner of the man's disappearance are hearsay and exaggerations, right?
