Hellbent was built using the Year Zero Engine from #FreeLeague and as such has a ton of flexibility. It's an exciting system and one that gave us a lot of room to explore all sorts of interactions knowing we had a comfort blanket of mechanics to back it all up. I'm so excited to share the show soon!

OK, now that the shoot is in the can, what's next? I'm glad you asked! Editing has begun and for a show meant to be both entertaining AND accessible (the two are not mutually exclusive!) that means a lot of backend work.

I've been thinking how audiences come to TTRPGs via Actual Plays (or not). It's been a big factor in how I've prepped Hellbent. I can't help shaking the feeling that a lot of us are running shows that cater to people who are already predisposed to the world/lingo of TTRPGs which can hinder newbies.

Here's an interesting question for people who like APs. Do you watch/listen to the session 0 if provided? Do you do so first before getting into the episodes, or do you like to dig in retroactively?

It’s Indigenous Peoples’ Month - and the government once again, has failed to keep its word to us. Consider donating food, money, sanitary supplies to your local tribes’ food bank 🧡 a quick Google search can show you who’s land you’re on!

Shino's a well-known itinerant farmer, though few truly know his whole story. He travels from town to town helping people heal & maintain their land. Guided by the legend of Shennong the Divine Farmer, he secretly turns dying lands into bountiful harvests in an impossibly short time.

To twisted men, he's a gift. To broken hearts, a saint. He scraped by in the underground, purging Corruption from those who suffered its effects. He’s seen the way of magic - how it saunters in, sets up shop, and simply asks you to pay prices you cannot fathom. Their debt is now Zeyvah's burden.

Mei's a demonologist & anthropologist who seeks knowledge above all else. She wears a small vial of blood around her neck & several scars on her body - effects of Corruptive magic. Her journey has come to this - uncovering the truth about the House of Yhargoth and how they’re involved with her past.

Vincent's a preacher's son, but for the last 20 years he's been a hunter. He hunts the worst things the Corruption leaves behind. Lately business has been booming. He's after one monster in particular, forever haunted by the ghosts left in its wake. He won't stop until he sees it put down.
