The ActualPlay.Network takes a regular cast of performers through a variety of role playing systems, creating dramatic, compelling, funny, and interesting stories along the way. We play story games like FATE, traditional games like Dungeons and Dragons, horror games like Call of Cthulhu, Delta Green, and Vampire. We are also focusing on old school role-playing style games like Stars without Number and Lamentations of the Flame Princess. We also include video playthroughs of video games (Dark Corners of the Earth) and loads of supplementary material like game master notes and advice, music, and art.

Episode 002 – FATE: The Headmaster Ritual
[WARNING: PRIMITIVE AUDIO RECORDING -> BETTER QUALITY RECORDINGS START AT EPISODE 16]
The Backseat is for Being Quiet – our occult detectives investigate Liliana Bunt, designer and occult advisor for Barrymore and the Misfortunes, and get more than they bargained for at the train station.
This episode saw the introduction of Steven Riley as Alphonse Callahan. Steven was a long time fixture of our gaming group and you may here his voice again in the future.
I apologize – in episode 1, I named the Liliana Bunt character “Mina Westernra” but I must have decided that name was foolish for episode 2. I also apologize – my voice got a little garbled in this episode but I think you can still figure out what’s going on. You can find me on twitter with any questions. After this seven part series, we recorded all our audio separately and you will definitely notice the difference.
