This last Spooktober game is a little bit late because it wasn’t actually recorded as one—shhh! People got sick and life got in the way, and we didn’t actually get to play a fourth spoopy one-shot. So please enjoy this re-purposed game of Heart that Ryan, Erik and Alex played a few months ago, and try to think Halloween-y thoughts while listening.

When a decadent high-elf noble sends an emissary to the undercity to procure a particular preferred pastry, it’ll be up to a Deadwalker and a Deep Apiarist to acquire the confection in question. In order to perform their assigned task and get paid, they’ll need to rescue the baker from a terrifying creature of the Heart. Will they survive their journey into the depths with their minds intact, or will a loaf of bread prove to be their undoing? Listen to find out!

It’s time for the annual July 4th Block Party on Wisteria Court, a quiet cul-de-sac in a peaceful suburban neighborhood. They’ve got a food truck and a slip’n’slide, a bounce castle and a DJ. But something’s wrong on this idyllic block, and an unnatural force is about to drag the whole street out of reality itself. Blane and Zaq, two obnoxious undergrads who are renting a house on the block, will have to step up and save their neighbors from certain doom, but it’ll take more than their garage ninjutsu or hyper-potent Australian marijuana to set things right. Can they pull it off, or will they be lost outside of spacetime forever? Listen to find out!

I’ll bet you all thought that Rag-NERD-rok was dead and buried, but here it is, clawing its way up through the sod, clumps of graveyard dirt in its hair! And speaking of dead things climbing out of their graves, it’s spooky season once again! In this year’s first Spooktober episode, Ryan runs Don’t Rest Your Head for Alex, Ed and James.

When the Tacks Man sets his sights on a struggling author, a rockstar with a haunted past, and a chronic insomniac, they’ll have to band together to pay off their debts. Will a trip to the Bizarre Bazar get them what they need to balance the books, or will they find themselves literally in the red? Listen to find out!
