Sorry this took a little longer than anticipated- Josh’s audio was a bit wonky and I had to spend a wee bit extra time cleaning it up. As such, slight delay.

We return to our twosie AP series with two twosies! Jenn and Todd play two short games about relationships and feelings: 183 Days and The Sky is Grey and You are Distressed.
183 Days starts at 5:00 minutes.
The Sky is Grey… starts at 49:30.
NOTE 1: THESE GAMES CAN BE SPOILERED AT LEAST ON SOME LEVEL. So before you listen, think about whether or not you want some of the structure and events of the game revealed to you!
NOTE 2: The sound for 183 days isn’t that great. We recorded it in a hotel room at Forge Midwest. Sorry about that! Y

Following up on our interview with Stephanie Bryant, we take a break from our twosie AP series to release this AP of Stephanie’s game Threadbare. Threadbare is currently in beta so some of the rules here may change, but this AP gives you a good idea of the kind of thing you’re in store for when the game drops.
Content note: If you want to skip character generation and some light banter, jump ahead to the 16:00 minute mark.
Also, it’s currently in Kickstarter! You can go support it here if you’re interested:
