Welcome to the third episode of series 86, everyone! In this series, we are covering our first LARP, Strangers on the ‘Net, an online live action roleplaying game where you play as 90’s teens pretending to be 90’s teens in an online fandom forum to pretend to be characters from a fandom you all know and love, with previous guest of the show and designer of this game, Allison K. Cole! In today’s episode, we talk the business side of TTRPGs with Allison as well as starting to get into our thoughts on how the character creation process went for this game!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
