    Outstanding! Issue #18 I'm a Creep

    Episode Notes
    Content warning: This episode contains some depictions of body horror and emotional trauma.

    On the cover, Shield Mouse, Sailfish, and Nightshift sit on the curb with a frankensteined monster. They each sort through candy picking out ones they know the others like and passing it around. At Nightshift's feet is the piece of paper, the slogan "The Power is in the serum" clearly visible. The paper is blowing toward a drain where glowing eyes can be seen looking out.

    Episode Notes
    Content warning: This episode contains some depictions of body horror and emotional trauma.

    On the cover, Shield Mouse, Sailfish, and Nightshift creep through the bushes around their neighborhood. Each of them is carrying a pillowcase full of candy. They are determined to get more but are hiding from a troupe of actual animated skeletons. Nightshift is pointing down a side street towards what she thinks might be Dracula and tries to drag the other towards him.

    The Longest Halloween Issue #2

    Episode Notes
    The cover is dominated by an enormous moon. It's surface glows with a warm orange light. The enormous disk is eclipsing a long forgotten sun wreathing the moon flames. Standing out against the orange surface is a swarm of bats, turning to fall out of the sky towards the city below.

Fun Casts, Storytelling, & People!

I always love listening to PCC, from the editing to the storytelling itself, Protean City is a great actual play series that highlights the Masks RPG system amazingly well! The casts always connect fantastically, and I love the rotating comic lines that make it easy to jump in at almost any point!

The recaps are also exceptionally helpful, and the bloopers are just fun.

I admire this team’s attention to detail and dedication to a fun game overall!

These kids are precious and must be protected at all costs

I have been catching up on the main Protean City Comics podcasts and they just constantly make me feel a whole mix of emotions for these heroes. The cast is phenomenal and the way they switch GMs seamlessly is both impressive and refreshing. PCC has been a huge help to me in running my own Masks TTRPG campaign.

And with Outstanding! starting up on the same channel, I was able to start this one from the beginning and even though only one episode is out, I will already make a Defend move for these children, no matter what. The tone is slightly different because the heroes are younger than the main PCC characters, but it's a fantastic and charming change of pace and I can't wait to follow the stories of these precious young superheroes!

Kids say the darndest things.

Stop Hack & Roll does a great job. Their players and GMs are top notch. I love how several of them take on the role of GM and how it gives the game such a diverse and interesting pacing. Keep up the great work!
