Surprise! With a new year, a new podcast feed, and a new series starting up, we figured why not keep with the new things happening and drop a preview of Rene's new game One Last Quest, a one page RPG that allows you to bring back some of your favorite PCs of campaigns past and play them in their elderly retired years. However, a loose thread or problem arises that forces them to put down the shuffleboard and dust off the old heroics one more time.   It's a hack 'n' mash of the popular rules lite RPG Lasers & Feelings by the incredible John Harper (Blades in the Dark, Agon) with a sprinkling of some All Outta Bubblegum by Michael Sullivan & Jeffrey Grant.   Hopefully you enjoy and you give it a shot with your group, reliving some of your favorite characters from over the years.   If you want to look really cool, consider buying your very own DMsAfterDark T-shirt!   If you enjoy our streams, podcasts, or just our general nerdiness, please consider giving us a 5-star rating on your podcast app of choice!

Happy Holidays to you crazy folks out there in podcastland!   Welcome to another annual DMs After Dark Holiday One-Shot, always good for some seasonal shenanigans! This year we're playing Thursday by Eli Seitz, a Russian Doll inspired time loop game in the Belonging Outside Belonging family of RPGs. Despite this very clear source material, we decided to use it to play a Hallmark Holiday Time Loop one-shot, where the PCs are members of a rural town caught in a repeating day leading up to Christmas, where only true love will break the loop (or something appropriately cheesy like that). If there's one thing you take from this episode, it's to find your bean tree.   If you want to look really cool, consider buying your very own DMsAfterDark T-shirt!   If you enjoy our streams, podcasts, or just our general nerdiness, please consider giving us a 5-star rating on your podcast app of choice!
