The Monster's Playbook

When the battle is over, it’s time to rebuild. And around here, that means reconnecting with the people you love. Maybe now that the threat to existence has ended, we can just spend some time together, and nothing dramatic has to happen. DID YOU HEAR ME, GUYS? NOTHING dramatic has to happen…We’ll see about that.-------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.

FULL ON ASSAULT! It’s final boss time, everybody! For too long, it’s been The Star King making plans. But now Kira, Anna, Mark and Theo have put their plan into motion as well. And now it’s like they say: May the best plan win.-------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.

Okay. Cool. We got him. The Star King is trapped. That’s… good, right? Except hang on: He still has the team’s closest friends god knows where, they still have the Star Princes to worry about and—oh yeah—there’s still the last phase of the plan to *checks notes* rewrite an entire chapter of reality.

If you’re trying to trap a god, what do you use as bait? Why, everything, of course. It will take some of the team’s finest minds to lure the Star King into a snare, while a completely different set of equally fine minds try to lure his Princes to a battlefield the good guys control. We’ve got Thinkers, and we’ve got Bruisers, and everybody has their work cut out for them. All they have to do now… is win.--------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.

The balance of power has changed in a big way. After some major shifts in the Kingdoms of There—and we do mean MAJOR—it's anybody's guess whether our heroes will be able to pull off their crazy-ambitious plan. It would be a toss-up on the best of days, and these… are not the best of days.------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.

Everybody has a reason why they fight. For our heroes, it’s the friends & family they need to protect. They’ll push themselves to the limits to keep them safe. Trouble is: their enemy has a reason, too.

No more mysteries. It’s time to get to the bottom of everything. While Mark recovers from his grave injuries inside Ramsey/Lincoln’s mysterious wooded tapestry, Kira, Theo and Anna seek answers from some unexpected sources. When your enemy is on the scale of a King of There, every other threat suddenly doesn’t seem as scary.-------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.

When you've got a big problem, you need a big idea. And Mark, Kira, Anna and Theo are trying to pull off a couple of the biggest ideas they've ever had. They've got to deal with the Reaper. They've got to escape from the Sea Kingdom AGAIN. And in the end? They have to prevent the walls that hold up the universe from crashing down around them. We know we're working with Big Ideas.

Sometimes you get exactly what you want, but it's all too much. When Theo claims the Eye of Endregoras, will she be able to handle all that power? And even though they've got the target of the heist, there's still the matter of the Reaper--the living spirit of death that keeps the Dead Sea dead. The mission is simple: Make it out alive.-------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.

It's Heist Time, Baby! We've set our sights on one of the most powerful artifacts in creation YET AGAIN, and it'll take all the cunning and connections they've got for Mark, Theo, Anna and Kira to secure the second Eye of Endregoras. Bad news? It's located in the Dead Sea Kingdom. MORE bad news? The way back in is through the office of the city's premier crime boss—and resident nemesis—Rex Crook.-------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.

It turns out, even if the future is scary, the past can be even worse. For the last year, Mark, Kira, Anna, and Theo have been discovering more about themselves than they ever wanted to. But if there's one thing we've learned on this journey, it's that no challenge goes away until you confront it. Even the scary ones. You know what?

Have you ever been so angry that it felt like you were a different person? Kira Ashwood has. And it's finally time for her to reconcile with the part of herself she's spent so much of her life trying to keep at arm's length. But she can't do it alone. That's the thing about being a person: You need other people. And sometimes, you even need people you don't want to need.-------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.

The Kingdoms of There have a vital purpose. A threat to them is a threat to everything. Unfortunately, there are so. Many. Threats. And only Kira, Anna, Mark and Theo—and their friends—know enough to face them. But around here? Knowing is WAY more than half the battle.Content Warning: Brief mention of suicidal thoughts-------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.

So here's the plan: Fight fire with fire. It's simple, but it won't be easy. The forge is under the control of an unscrupulous wing of the Magio, the stones that will serve as materials are… unstable at best, and even once they find this forge, what kind of weapon will be strong enough to save the whole world?-------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.

What do you do when you're walking around with a weapon that can destroy everything? Keep it pointed at the bad guys. The hunt is on for a legendary forge that can craft vital resources out of the team's most dangerous liabilities. They have more than one mystic stone imbued with the flames from the end of the world. I guess using that stone to build something is.... certainly An Option.Content Warning: This episode includes depictions of dissociative disorders and confronting an abuser.

Okay, it's time once again to ask our favorite question: What the hell do we do now!? The immediate threat from The Magio has been handled, but now an even bigger threat looms. And some of the biggest players in the game want Mark, Theo, Kira and Anna to get on the front lines in a battle they're only just beginning to understand.
