A group of friends have their lives turned upside down when they find themselves placed as the last line of defense between the everyday world and the things that go bump in the night.This actual play podcast uses Monster of the Week and other Powered by the Apocalypse games, all within the same dimension hopping narrative, to follow the Indiana Paranormal Task-force (IPT) as they are thrust into the front lines of a battle they didn't know existed.

The Sinking Way Station (S7, E8)

The Sinking Way Station (S7, E8)

Einon’s Journal Summary: On our way towards the next core, we found a decrepit Clockwinders way station in the depths of the swamp. Imagine my pride at seeing Kade leaping headlong to the aid of a friend in danger. Maxine discovered a lovely little tidbit about the dangers we might face at the swamp’s Movement Core. I was able to put our moss bear hide to use, though not in what one might consider a conventional manner. Scrapes and bruises aside, not to mention a fair amount of disquiet in regar

Brokering a Truce (S7, E7)

Brokering a Truce (S7, E7)

Einon’s Journal Summary: Our conversation with the Wilders was surprising, especially in regards to an alleged wraith that hunts them. I made an offer about dealing with this threat, which I hoped will appease our new friends. Maxine expertly maneuvered the deal in a way which Selwyn, I’m sure, appreciates. Kade seemed keen on constructing a helm similar to the Wilders, which I would find rather fetching. With that done, we look ahead to what’s next.------Content Warning: Language------You can s

A Mossy Hide (S7, E6)

A Mossy Hide (S7, E6)

Einon’s Journal Summary: My companions and I dredged our way back into the marsh, in an attempt to draw out The Wilders. Maxine had a wonderful idea that proved useful in swindling our quarry. Kade displayed a marvelous talent for recreating the natural din of the swamp. I assisted in setting a trap, which concluded in a most fascinating fashion. The Wilders demonstrated an astonishing response that I’m ever so intrigued to explore further…------Content Warning: Language------You can support The

Shadow of The Wilders (S7, E5)

Shadow of The Wilders (S7, E5)

Einon’s Journal Summary: With a bit of guidance, we made our way further into the Aether Swamps in search of our next objective. Kade’s keen eyes spotted a potential threat after we took our rest. Maxine very kindly endeared us to a small community’s elder. Against all odds, I found a familiar, friendly face within the fen. Things are looking up, though a curious problem seems to have fallen to us, The Clockwinders, to fix on behalf of our new friends.------Content Warning: Language------You can

The Locust Romp (S7, E4)

The Locust Romp (S7, E4)

Einon’s Journal Summary: After settling our affairs in the city, our locomotive hurried us on our way to the edges of the Aether Swamps. I admit to a fair bit of motion sickness on our journey. I think my feet prefer solid ground. Kade tinkered with an ingenious notion to make Sme’s travel more feasible through the bog. Maxine tested a theory on the reactiveness of locusts, after we spied a curious little Fey fellow frolicking in the muck. The encounter proved to be incredibly enlightening.-----

The Stairway to Success (S7, E3)

The Stairway to Success (S7, E3)

Einon’s Journal Summary: After our harrowing encounter with the ghastly beasts residing within the clockworks, we finally were able to inspect the space’s inner workings. Maxine was instrumental in discovering the Movement Core’s ailment. I brainstormed a possible fix to the problem at hand. Kade was particularly enraptured with a discovery in the depths of the tower. Though battered and enervated, our spirits shifted to the positive as we grew closer to success.------Content Warning: L

Even a Broken Clock… (S7, E2)

Einon’s Journal Summary: The little surprise that we discovered within the Sun’s Edge Clocktower proved to be far more vexing than we anticipated. I was given ample opportunity to use my bow, in earnest, for the first time in a long while. Maxine enacted an inspired attack on our enemies’ senses. Kade was able to overcome an obstacle that was thought impossible. What began as a test swiftly morphed into a battle for survival. It was a fraught, and likely prophetic, view of what’s to com

The Clockwinders (S7, E1)

Einon's Journal Summary: We were given devastating news. Chief Forben confirmed that the Movement Cores are failing. The world has begun to slowly turn, which means the eventual ruin of all. Unless, that is, we can get them fixed. The Chief wanted to test us, to see if we have what it takes to venture into the wilds of Cadvini to find and repair the Cores. In our test, Kade spotted something incredibly useful. Maxine imparted great wisdom about our target. I made a hazardous climb. But
