• One Hour One Offs 23: Parsely

    Happy Halloween!

    Yup, you read that right! P-a-r-s-e-l-y, as in computer parseing! Parsely is all about old school style text adventures, and today Alex, our parser, has created a text adventure for friend of the podcast and resident computer nerd, Elana! Listen as our protagonist wanders, dies, repeats and dies again in this episode of One Hour One Offs, all accompanied live by the brilliant pianist Kevin.

    Also, sorry Elana is a little quiet <3

  • One Hour One Offs 19: Mice and Monsters

    Join Lyrica as Mirabell and Alex as everyone else as we delve into the fantasy world of spooky mice. Mirabell is the apprentice (called a spade) to the local digger - the grizzled old mouse who keeps folks safe from the malevolent forces of the wild, especially when those forces are mystic or arcane. The Oakhills, a nearby family of squirrels have requested the digger's help, and he has decided Mirabell is ready for their first mission. Now it's up to them to face the mischievous (or perhaps dangerous) creature that has been spoiling the Oakhill's food, but neither she nor the digger are ready for what they will find.

    (also we forgot to say in the intro but the system is Monster of the Week)

  • Finals Season

    Its finals week, and at Kevin Hide’s School for Sneaks and Heroes that means a face off, a showdown, a duel between desperadoes for superiority that only one of you may leave alive! At least that's what seniors tell the freshmen. Its a showdown for sure, every student is paired with another from a different class with each of them using their skills to the utmost in order to achieve victory - and a passing grade. Will our stoned student of Vecna be able to defeat the traps his 'Splosions class peer has set up for him? Probably not, he's very high and didn't study.


    (PS this episode has a guest, and just for kicks we didnt tell each other anything about what we were planning ahead of time.... which is part of why it makes no sense.)

  • T is for Timepiece

    Magnum Cordite is a lone gun, a private eye, and a man on the edge. Magnum also has a blessing, or a curse depends on who you ask. If he's killed, iced, ganked, ya know, vamoosed, then he gets one hour to solve his own murder. If he does, he gets to live, if not..... well let's just say it's a long trip down. Will Magnum be able to solve the case or is he dead, doomed, and damned?
