I am, ironically, catching a sport game with a friend tonight and making them listen to 1978 on the way to the arena so I won't be in my usual spot this evening But you should still go make the cast answer for what they did

Okay I grew up mormon and knew all the doctrine and yadda yadda but i never knew the answer to this: Why did they pronounce “recommend” like that? Exmos you know what I mean, right? “A temple recomMEND?” Like just really punching the tail for some reason? Is it a Utah thing??

I've made no secret to how much Damsels & Dicestress inspires me as a creative, to the point where I've recruited Taya with a SECRET SIDE GIG, so when I tell you that hers is one of the singular minds of Actual Play, Performance, and Creative endeavor you best believe me Give 'em your money!

Grant (but scary now)! @grantorwhatever.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
If you have taste, you would know that Taya's company make the most dynamic, thoughtful, and challenging art pieces aimed at regency era storytelling I've loved seeing the evolution of her theater company from here across the pond. If you have the means, consider giving a brilliant artist a hand

My siblings in christ, the world is on fire AND it's october dont you know that's when horror is at it's finest? Horror helps you confront the fears of your generation. Escapism is a myth. Everything is horror.

Threads and Bluesky take turns being the "AP/TTRPG hot take" factory every couple of months or so. Both equally stupid but in different flavors. It's threads turn this week I guess and the sheer number of "why is everyone doing horror, I don't like horror!" takes are...interesting

Each reveal form Adventure Afterword is a who's who of power players that have made indie AP what it is the last, 3 or 4 years @adam5gms.bsky.social is a main architect in this budding scene. One of our best and brightest GM and conceptual minds working right now. How lucky we are to get more Adam.

We also love @scarydogfriend.bsky.social because holy shit the tension you inject into this thing and the terror you pull outta your scene partner is something i cannot stop thinking about. Insane we get you in the AP space when your talents far exceed us lowly podcasters

I don't think anyone is doing it like Game Master Monday in general but boy howdy for sure nobody is doing it like Taz. This is "weaving mechanics into the story" in a way that slowly lures you into realizing what's going on the split second when it's too late. It's so seamless. God this rules.
040
Grant (but scary now)! @grantorwhatever.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Not to mention the dedication to how the story is presented. Unscripted first person is SUCH a challenge. But Taz is a genius at it and tapping Joe to be their partner, someone who is no stranger to waxing fucked up poetry, was the insanely right choice. No script. All play. Still haunting.

Grant (but scary now)! @grantorwhatever.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
The thing that always impresses me how Taz approaches a project is how much you can FEEL she cares and knows about the topic. An homage to classic slashers, a complicated sapphic story, the insane detail and historical accuracy she jams into their performance AND sound design. Fuckin unreal.

Grant (but scary now)! @grantorwhatever.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
I've gushed a lot about Taz's second (SECOND!!) stint in the director chair but my god is 1978 a triumph A lot will be said about the sound design, correctly so it absolutely fucks, might be best on the pod. I hope people can also feel how much love went into this Ah shit im ranting here we go!

Needs more vengeance in her heart. She dances for fame and to make her mama proud. The others dance so they can slice a dude.

Well surely in terms of musical footprint, Murphy's have the "biggest" celtic punk song but in terms of sure volume of known hits, Molly's got 'em beat. That said, Dropkick Murphy's body Flogging Molly in a fight. I don't think many bands in ANY genre beat a band with "dropkick" in their name

Out of everything we accomplish at GMM, this is what I'm proudest of. Our platform makes a real difference in the charity scene. I'm always blown away by the generocity of our audience and the ambition of those who wanna create stuff under our umbrella Thank you for the opportunity, Rosie

I legit can't think of a single GM/show/genre that runs a game like Taz does. You're in for a treat.

Grant (but scary now)! @grantorwhatever.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
No hyperbole or exaggeration here: I think this is the most cinematic thing GMM has ever put out Taz's style is SO UNIQUE to the AP space. This is all first person. Really showcasing how NARRATIVE play can be with a laser focus. It feels like a new thing entirely. And this episode is SCARY AS FUCK

Taz and I are playing PEAK for the first time with two seasoned climbers so if you wanna see two idiots who are in charge of a podcast for some reason suck at a video game GOOD NEWS
