/slaps this logo *ahem* WE CAN FIT SO MUCH HORROR and HEART IN THIS NEW AP STUDIO. Grab an armchair and get settled for our upcoming podcast actual play, SIGNALS (one of @blackwaterdnd.bsky.social's Project Blacklight's Winning Submissions) by giving us a follow at @roadslesstaken.bsky.social.

The background is wavy television scanlines in bright green colors, ranging from Kelly greens to limes and even pale green that mimics 'white'. In the center, three bulky letters in futuristic text 'RLT' standing for Roads Less Taken

Fall/Winter of 2026 is gonna be AMAZING!! We are so ready, let's gooooo! #actualplay #western #analoghorror #publicaccess #frontierscum #morkborg

A dark, stylized graphic with the title "The Six-Gun Sisterhood" written in bold, cream-colored text. Beneath the title, smaller text reads, "Three sisters. One locked iron case. A thousand miles of bad road." There is an icon of two crossed revolvers below the text and a faint silhouette of a revolver cylinder in the top right corner.

A vintage-style graphic featuring a desert landscape with mountains in the background and utility poles in the foreground. Large, bold, white letters spelling "SIGNALS" overlay the image, with the text "A PUBLIC ACCESS EXPERIENCE" written in smaller letters above it. The entire image has a hazy, textured, and slightly distorted aesthetic.
