Sam Richardson

I’m desperate to play Mythic Bastionland after the Quinn’s Quest review

incredibly proud of all my friends that finished this mammoth podcast. and now that it's done, there has never been a better time to give this truly excellent the-horrors-persist-but-so-do-i grimdark fantasy story a listen.

(i will cosplay this at some point i swear)

The fact that studios aren’t actively fighting over Ann Leckie’s “Imperial Radch” trilogy is a tragedy

It is very close competition, but Guilty Pleasure is the best Chappell Roan song

Any TTRPG interview shows interested in having a CRIT awards nominee on to chat before voting closes? 👀

And then pay a quarter of your paycheck

Yeah no of course you can have healthcare in the US all you have to do is get a job where you send 500 million emails per day

Speaking as Keeper Sam I could never write horror more profound than what we are witnessing on the streets and abroad under the banner of the United States of America

And for some reason it always seem to happen on a weekend when I have things I've been looking forward to

Every 3-4 months I am reminded in a brilliant flash of pain and hopelessness that I have a chronic disability that will be with me until I die. Real fun stuff.

Absolutely thrilled and flabbergasted to be nominated for Best GM (Indie) at the @critawards.bsky.social

If you've enjoyed my work on Pest Control, I'd love your support to help win!

But she WILL use that royalty money for anti-trans legislation! Which is actually worse!!

If you've ever wondered about Friends at the Table, now is a great time to give it a listen. We're just fully kicking off a totally new season with no previous listening required!

there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch

A giant faceless humanoid statue with wings instead of arms, crouches over a sprawling city as if to shield it. Text reads: Icarus - A storytelling one-shot about the fall of a great civilisation. seroRPG

I'm going to be on this Friday at 4pm with Jonas! Come say hello!

Really trying not to doom-post, but it's feeling pretty bleak out there

The United States as a country is deeply, fundamentally broken and whatever it is that's coming next is coming quickly

I'm running a game of Monster of the Week to help raise money for charity in the middle of May, and they're still looking for players!

I don't talk nearly enough about how much I love the editing and music from Pest Control. You all need to take a listen to some of this amazing music.

I am so, so proud of the work we've done on this show. I think it really is remarkable, and if you agree this is a great way to show your support!

Come listen to my character get pushed into a pit by her crush (she's kind of an asshole (I love her))

Thanks y'all 💖

I can promise to bring characters who are big, bold, and drive the narrative while holding a sensitive heart (or awful, disgusting villains who will do their worst to make the heroes lives hell 😈)

Hey friends, with @pestcontrolpod.bsky.social on inter-season-hiatus I'm looking to guest on some actual-play or audio drama shows from now through the end of May!

If you have a show you think I'd be good for, I'd love to be considered for a short appearance!

Pest Control season 1 is now my #1 rec for somebody looking to check out Actual Play. The first arc and, by extension, the first season, are superb on-boarding pieces for AP.

Just finished @pestcontrolpod.bsky.social season 1, which I picked up entirely because I had a podcast dry spell and I'm so happy I did. Season 1 is short for an AP pod, but it showcases what makes TTRPGs and Actual Play such incredible and special storytelling experiences.
