All-Mart is a big-box store and wholesaler, the type of establishment that stocks mountains of off-season swimwear and pallets of industrial-sized mayonnaise jars. There’s more hidden on these shelves than meets the eye, however, and four overnight employees have banded together to discover the truth behind the mysterious items that occasionally turn up. They call it “exostock,” products that shouldn’t exist from outside of reality itself, each with a discrete magical effect. In the hours between eleven and seven, when only the weirdos shop, this cabal of would-be chargers explore the sprawling aisles, hoping to uncover the secret of the All-Mart and inventory the strangeness that lurks within. Will they find the answers they seek, or will trifling with arcane powers beyond their ken lead them to ruin?

Is this a harmless method of coping with loss, or is something more sinister afoot? When a string of unexplained deaths brings the community to Delta Green’s attention, three agents must investigate to find the truth.

We’re back with another exciting installment of Rasa! Separated from the group and taken to a fortified underground complex, Connie awakens to find one of Loredo’s minions who is willing to cut the group a deal. If they make their way to the lighthouse on the other side of the island and eliminate the leader of the group that has taken refuge there, Loredo will restore their memories and free them from the island. Of course, convincing the rest of the group that this offer is legitimate proves difficult, but the group sets out for the lighthouse anyway, hoping to find allies against Loredo’s machinations. Is this a cruel trick, an elaborate test, or something more sinister? Listen to find out!

After defeating Buddy, the chainsaw-wielding madman guarding the exit, Cole, Connie, Chet and Rick find themselves on a tropical island, surrounded on all sides by anachronisms and curiosities. However, before they can leave and begin to explore, a door seals shut, splitting the group and trapping Connie and Chet inside the Namaste Hotel. It soon becomes evident that the sinister forces that have brought the group to the island have kidnapped the pair for undoubtedly nefarious purposes, taking them deep into the shadowed underground. When Rick and Steve set out to explore the island, they run into two other amnesiacs, Ox and Doc, who have been roughing it outdoors for the past week. In order to rescue their friends and uncover the truth about what has happened to them, the new group will have to confront Loredo and his minions–which, unfortunately, includes a group of temporally displaced pirates who have been given orders to kill. Can they overcome the threat and rescue their comrades from untold peril? Listen to find out!

Will the motley group ever learn the truth? And why does the bellhop have a chainsaw, anyway?
