Hey Maia! I've been listening to Iron Rising these last couple of weeks, really enjoying it. I just finished making a highly edited and produced AP podcast where I also composed all of the music - it's sad horror with an explosive intro! I'd love it if you gave it a go πŸ’‘πŸ”¦ It's called Afterlight

Thank you friend, much appreciated! Glad you like it, it was a real pleasure working on it. Hopefully it'll be the perfect companion when you play the game πŸ‘

Promotional poster for a tabletop RPG stream titled "HOW'S MY DRIVING." The top of the poster features a cream-colored header with bold black text describing it as "The Daggerheart Horror Hack from DNGN Club Games about one hell of a road trip." The central image is a high-contrast, moody scene set in deep darkness. A classic black muscle car is parked on a desolate asphalt surface, illuminated by its own bright white headlights and a faint red glow from the rear. To the right of the car stands a solitary, dark silhouette of a person wearing a backpack, facing away from the viewer.

The bottom of the poster is styled in vibrant red text against the black background, listing the event details: "Thursday @ 7 PM ET only on YouTube," featuring Laurie Hernandez, Anne the Gnome, and Gina Susanna. The logos for "The Panic Table" are visible in the bottom left corner. The entire poster is framed by a thin red border.

Here we are, the light at the end of the tunnel. This series has been such a beautiful one and we’re sad to see it come to a close, but overjoyed at how it all came together.

It's our hope that we see more of this world, sometime after the power turns back on.

As always, please listen responsibly.

On one hand, I'm sad to see such a hauntingly dark and beautiful show come to an end after 6-ish weeks of heart pounding action

On the other hand, Si can't hurt me anymore

If it's any consolation I am also not walking away unscathed. I had to somehow get through those dice rolls and character choices (including those in the finale...), then hear them a hundred times over whilst editing and scoring πŸ’‘

The light at the end of the tunnel -- it's Afterlight day, y'all. Our last and final episode.

I'll be crying ugly tears (again) about this one.

12pm PST / 2pm CST.

Tonight the series I first pitched 14 months ago comes to an end. The last 14 months have probably been the most creative, disruptive, tumultuous and transformative that I have experienced, and this show has been with me every step of that journey. It means a hell of a lot.

I also have many feelings about it, and hopefully we can discuss those feelings together at some point soon!

The Afterlight finale drops this Friday and I have so many feelings about it, but I'll save those for this weekend πŸ₯²

In the meantime, if you haven't caught up, it's only 5 episodes (6 on Friday) and I know I know I'm biased, but I think it's really something special πŸ₯Ή

Because of the time difference I had to wake up at 3am to record our Afterlight sessions. That felt kinda close to that.

This was such a beautiful thing to experience. To achieve such high quality storytelling, beauty, love and emotion on a livestream is unreal, and seeing just how much it meant to the cast was so moving. It felt like a privilege to be able to see it in real time. Congratulations to everyone involved.
