    Doomed to Repeat Ep. 25 - “Bait and Switch”

    Doomed to Repeat Ep. 25 - “Bait and Switch”

    It seems that Perennial's time to talk has ended—or has it? The agents scramble to escape with Mallory, their hostage from the AirBnb. As tensions ease, their case officer reveals the truth about her visit and why Perennial still has a chance to redeem themselves in the eyes of the Program. Hyde finally addresses their past as a cautionary tale for Tuck, initiating the scenario “Khali Ghati.”

    Doomed To Repeat Ep. 24 – "Dead Calm"

    Doomed To Repeat Ep. 24 – "Dead Calm"

    The agents emerge from Yosemite battered and exhausted, grappling with the toll it has exacted. Most of them have hit their breaking points, and disorders are starting to strangle their progress. Seeking solace, the team reconvenes at their AirBnB, a brief respite amidst the chaos. Tuck clings stubbornly to her unnatural sister, Mia, refusing to see reason. Hyde and Merit philosophize about their purpose, while Boomer and Warp try to relax. Yet, just as a semblance of normalcy settles over them, a phone call from a former case officer shatters the peace, thrusting them back into the tumult of their reality.

Almighty ELEN ,

Holy God This Should Be On TV

This latest episode was the greatest interlude I have ever been witness to. Bravo to all and I hope you didn’t kill your handler when you got together for drinks. 😜

Very, very well done to everyone.

Ps why was episode 20 in reverse?

GoIrishESP ,

One of the best around

Mayday Roleplay is one of the highest quality and most dramatic actual plays around—especially Doomed to Repeat, their Delta Green series. It’s always exciting when I see a new episode pop into my podcast feed!

BigTimeGuy001 ,

10/10 Would Recommend!

The cast is amazing and the stories are great! Looking forward to more Ashoka and the Delta Green campaign ‘Doomed To Repeat’ is so, so good!
The Mayday team is definitely one of my favorites to listen to!
