    Authors Trapped - Kitchen Nightmares

    What happens if you take 5 authors of varying genres, give them not-copyrighted versions of some fun characters, drop them in the middle of the woods and release untold gothic horrors on them?  I don’t know…but I really wanted to find out. Join maniacal, schadenfreude enthusiast (also known as the Dungeon Master), ‘Shady’ David Shadoin and watch as Kacey Ezell, Jon R. Osborne, William Myrl, Stephen Landry, and T.J. Lombardi get sucker punched over and over again when everything takes a turn for the worse in Author’s Trapped. Trigger warning: this module leans heavily into some very distinct tropes of the Gothic Horror genre…if you can’t play games like Resident Evil, Amnesia, or The Forest, please do yourself a favor and don’t listen to this. Thanks!  Credits (go give them a like or better yet, subscribe!): Shady - davidshadoin.com  Kacey Ezell - kaceyezell.net (Dame Not Appearing in this Film any longer) Jon R.

    Today’s guest, Kacey Ezell, was born in South Dakota and grew up around the world on various military bases.
