Happy Halloween! Last year we put up one of our Patreon bonus episodes as a Halloween treat, and this year we're doing it again. This time it's an Actual Play (loosely based on the movie The Thing) that we made while playing S.C.R.E.A.M. The Horror, a rules-lite RPG from Ursidice. I think it was a lot of fun, so I hope you do too! Have a happy and safe Halloween!
