Helix | RPG Major - Improvised Musical Actual Play Podcast

One of the most special parts of playing this game, much like playing The Time We Have, are the conversations that come after. The decomp after both of these games have led to some of the best and most important conversations of my life. I'm just so excited for this game to get fully realized

My first five ttrpgs in the order I played them: 1: D&D 4e 2: Pathfinder 1e 3: D&D 5e 4: Everyone is John 5: FATE I'm a big believer in playing every system character - and story-first but also still love confounding a GM as a player or vice versa in a PF or other tactical combat.

Dear diary, jackpot. How am I just hearing of you for the first time.

You can find our musical AP of To Feel Your Warmth, a new and heartbreaking game by @moreblueberries.bsky.social in your favorite podcast app right here: pod.link/1766663794/e... Because the weather is perfect for melancholy

When are YOU going to come record with us, is my question...

We played @moreblueberries.bsky.social's new sad vampire game, To Feel Your Warmth, and the song Lauren improvised at the end of the first episode both nailed the themes of the game and brought me to tears. Get sad with your friends - back TFYW at www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

You'll get to hear Camilla and Lauren play this game starting Thurs, and wow, the heartache and tension is real.

For those who're looking for a new show, how about a spooky sampler platter?

Aubrey HEARTILY approves.

I haven't heard anything quite like the sounds coming out of this. All you horror sound designers might get some good mileage from it. youtu.be/GP4V910NWF0

When @jeffstormer.gobirds.online started describing how they'd chosen for the William Dufris award to I thought "oh, he's talking about Dillin." Dillin may have been the only one at our table surprised when his name was called. The rest of us see the space he's been carving and holding for us.

Also... Wow wow wow!

Holy cow the folks at #NJWebfest know how to put on an event that builds community. This was my first festival. Went in a little unsure about how it would go. Got swept up in the welcoming energy that Neem, Ned, Katie & Jeff cultivate and surfed that wave with some incredible creators all weekend.

Saddle up for this one friends, the showrunner is a pal, and is back from a long hiatus between shows. One of the cast (Kyle) played Amadeus the Ghost in our battle of the bands arc. Give it a look and see if the weird West is for you!

@oneshotpod.bsky.social's Last Train to Bremen is in the top 50 projects at the Audio Fiction World Cup!

The Audio Fiction World Cup just released their current rankings. RPG Major is sitting at #17?! This year was the first time I ever submitted anything to a festival, so I'm curious to see how this goes. Being in the same tier as killer projects like Last Train to Brooklyn and THIAD *rules.*

Sometimes you unexpectedly create a banger while you're warming up. Sound on for the hit of the fall

Dolly sold over 100 million records and gave away almost 300 million books. She threatened to quit a movie in the 70s if the cast wasn't integrated. She supported gay marriage and lost a Dolly lookalike drag contest with grace. She admitted mistakes and looked to lift people up. What a woman.

EGOT for Broadside when?!

!!! & !!! He's got six strings and he plays every single one! So lucky to get to work and play with @noahcsamuels.bsky.social as much as I do.

100 is a lot of episodes to create. 300 songs is a lot of songs to improvise. Thanks to y'all for listening this far! If you want some nonsense taken seriously created by people who love the heck out of what they create, check out our latest episode where we celebrate this base-10 milestone.

The third annual Lonehart Award is about to take place. This year we're changing it up to podcast shows that have been out less than a year, and the theme will be Combat Sound Design. Submissions open 9/27/26.

Yet more proof that there's no excuse to use AI art.

James is out here heaping praise on @superdillin.bsky.social and every word is deserved. He started taking point on songs later in the game & his songs SLAP. *Stoplight* is worth the whole price of admission. @shaghik.com's polish made the whole thing shine. vote.ennie-awards.com/vote/2026/ba...

For the fist time ever One Shot is up for an Ennie! It has been wonderful watching @superdillin.bsky.social take the show to places I never could. A musical series collaberating with @rpgmajor.bsky.social is definitely that. It's so amazing, please listen and vote! vote.ennie-awards.com/vote/2026/

You LOVED Welcome to Mount Port from @gamechanger.dropout.tv - have you ever wondered "What if someone improvised a full length musical like that, but not at all like that, more like dramatic and about a group of terrible people running from the devil?"

Siri, how do I bribe judges?!

Look at the care and detail Junip is putting into these... If you're wondering what all those tally marks mean, and why is there a dropped ice cream cone, the answers are in the arc entitled Heroes History.

For anyone who listens to the podcast RPG Major, I did some fanart! These are oracle cards featuring various characters! If you haven’t listened to RPG Major, you should check them out for some heartfelt supernatural mystery role playing & improvised music #fanart #RPGmajor

Post like this make me SO CURIOUS

Hear hear. Kind of a sad state when it's remarkable to see a business valuing and respecting their workers.

I often want to recommend this to people when they're curious about RPG Major because it's some of the best work we've done as a cast. it's complicated because it's not on our feed... Plus once they hear Dillin will his storytelling and undeniable sex appeal make them forget us & binge One Shot?!

I just finished editing our next arc, which will start releasing June 16, and shared it with the cast... Camilla said:

I can't think of a bigger compliment than AP creators bingeing our little show!
