One part creative interview, and one part improv storytelling through games. A podcast about getting to know artists and entertainers through the shared, universal act of play. Each episode, host Jeff Stormer sits down with a guest one-on-one to play a game, tell a story, and have the kinds of experiences that can only occur when creative processes are allowed to run wild. There’s laughs, surprises, occasionally a few tears… it’s a good time.

484 - Chiron's Doom with Jeffrey Nils Gardner

Subscribers get access to exclusive bonus episodes, including "Party of One (Plus One)," spotlighting sequel games and returning guests, as well as "Party of None," our solo RPG spotlight series.

An RPG Podcast where the gaming table is set for two.

One part creative interview, and one part improv storytelling through tabletop RPG actual play. A podcast about getting to know artists and entertainers through the shared, universal act of play. Each episode, host Jeff Stormer sits down with a guest one-on-one to play a game, tell a story, and have the kinds of experiences that can only occur when creative processes are allowed to run wild. There’s laughs, surprises, occasionally a few tears… it’s a good time.
