    DEMIGODS - Chapter One

    The Friends Who Pretend are back with another epic adventure. Possibly our biggest one yet. A group of young men awaken in a strange government facility with no memories of their lives until this moment and no clue who they are. In the role of 31X aka The Phlegmatic One, real name unknown, we have Vee Derrick. In the role of the Sardonic One aka 13x, real name unknown, we have Nick Bryant. In the role of The Happy One, Aka 69x, Aka Powerhouse The Gorilla, real name unknown, we have James Anderson. In the role of 04x, aka The Observant One, real name unknown, we have Andrew Zamot, and in the role of Mr Melancholy AKA 47X we have Jose Manuel Discua Fuentes. I also want to give a huge shoutout to a few friends of the show that helped out in the music department for this one who have either written and recorded music just for this campaign, or have given us their blessing to use their music for the campaign. First and foremost, the title track for Demigods is a cover of the Pixies "Where is My Mind" from our good friend Rigor Morris, performed by Rigor Morris and Dez Barnes. Also we have music from friend of the show DUSK, as well Those Shadow People who were gracious enough to gift us with the closing track "See Yourself" Find Rigor Morris at: https://rigormorris.bandcamp.com Find Dusk at: https://erichdusk.bandcamp.com Find Those Shadow People at: Spotify = https://open.spotify.com/artist/2VGr06Cj3o7Dxrnn4IfA0m?si=0KaMBH73TVaYflNc3VYPAA Apple Music = ‎https://music.apple.com/us/artist/those-shadow-people/560813145

    Playing House (Season 1 Episode 2) "Turkey Day"

    We are back with our second episode of our old school sitcom parody, Playing House. In the last episode you were introduced to the Floyd family and all their wacky antics. This week you'll join them at the dinner table once again as it is Thanksgiving in the world of Playing House and you are among just a few of the unexpected house guests who will be joining them. Once again the game finds Andrew Zamot in the role of JR, the father, Jessica Rose as the wife Peggy, Jose Manual Discua Fuentes and James Anderson as the sons Zack and Jimmy, and Vee Derrick as the family dog, Mr Waffles. Also joining the cast is Nick Bryant as Lurkey The Turkey, a role that is going to kickstart the tradition of Nick playing a different character in every episode of Playing House.

    Playing House (Season 1 Episode 1) "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner"

    While most of our games are designed as one-shot campaigns intended to emulate the movies that have inspired them, this is our first ongoing campaign and it's one that is intended to mirror an ongoing television show rather than a single movie. Playing House is a parody of all of those old 80s and 90s sitcoms we love so much, such as Full House, Family Ties, Roseanne, Growing Pains, Step by Step and so many other live-before-a-studio audience sitcoms complete with a laugh track and all. The game sees Andrew Zamot in the role of JR, patriarch of the Floyd family, Jessica Rose as his stunning housewife Peggy, Jose Manual Discua Fuentes as the teenaged punk rock poser Zack, James Anderson as the overachieved but underappreciated son Jimmy, and Vee Derrick in the role of their lifetime, Mr. Waffles the family dog. Rounding off the Floyd family is Chris Bryant in the roles of youngest Floyd, little Michelle, and of course everyone's favorite pervert Hubie, or Uncle Hubie as he is known in this series.

    Blood Red Summer 2: Adam's Revenge (Part 1 of 2)

    We are finally back from our holiday hiatus with the debut of our second season. As we approach the one-year anniversary of our first episode, Blood Red Summer, it seemed fitting that we would ring in season 2 the same way we had rung in season 1, with more Blood Red Summer. An unreleased game we've been sitting on since 2023, Blood Red Summer 2 is set just 2 years after the first one and finds Adam Pike seemingly returning from the dead to once again wreak havoc on Camp Crimson. Returning to the iconic role of Tatum Rigby, the original entries final girl, is Vee Derrick. Also returning from the first Blood Red Summer but in completely different roles are James Anderson and Jose Manuel Discua Fuentes. Also, among the cast we have Nick Bryant, Andrew Zamot and Jessica Rose in her Friends Who Pretend debut. It's a stacked cast and this is a long one, but I think you'll have just as much fun on this ride as we have, so go ahead and dim those lights, close those eyes, and immerse yourself in the world of Blood Red Summer 2: Adam's Revenge
