We are SOOOO close to our 5K goal and today is the final day to fight with us against hunger on behalf of Feeding America.
47 Million Americans are facing food insecurity this holiday season, and every dollar donated during December funds 20 meals.

Not nearly enough of you are listening to the fantasy masterpiece @shrimpandcrits.com. Just increasingly amazing. Best TTRPG podcast around and yeah I'm counting TAZ and Critical Role.
This mid-series short arc ARCADIA is hands down the best scifi I've ever encountered in an audio medium.
On Nov 24th - Dec 21st, The Monster’s Playbook and many other podcasters and creatives are raising money on behalf of @feedingamerica.org.
We’ll be playing Jackbox Games on Nov 24th at 7pm CST on our twitch channel to kick off our fundraising event.

We all need to get weird every once in a while. Back Absurdia now!
As someone who has been constantly writing worlds since I was about 7 or 8 years old, this is the best compliment I could possibly receive. 🥲
If you’re a #TTRPG creator with a Patreon page, please do this survey and state that you’re opposed to the use of AI! We need to nip this in the bud ASAP.
The survey takes 2 minutes and will hopefully have a big impact if enough of us submit strongly negative opinions!

OOPS! This is embarrassing.
Yesterday was our 5 YEAR Pod anniversary! 🦐🎉
Thank you all so much for listening over the years, we can't wait to share even more games and stories with you in the future!
A pink garage door to a storage container. Text reads “MH PRESENTS: BID AROUND THE BUSH.”
PATRONS! Tune in as three *unconventional* treasure seekers try to outbid one another and stake their claim on a menagerie of mysterious, possibly even lucrative (?) storage containers. Will the cream rise to the top? Or will they crash out and close up shop?

Incredibly excited to announce that Absurdia, my TTRPG love letter to classic and contemporary works of absurdism like Welcome to Night Vale, Alice in Wonderland, and Gravity Falls, is coming to Backerkit this fall!
Subvert normalcy. Embrace chaos. Make it weird.

Only problem is that Masks has some of the tightest playbook design in any PbtA so there are big shoes to fill. 😂
