Hey, if you're interested in doing more Masks, you're on my shortlist of people I'd really like to work with in some regard!

“Art cant be queer bc its not a person” type shit

Make queer art, be queer in every aspect of your life cuz assimilating aint gonna help

Please go check out our friends over at @shrimpandcrits.com both for this episode GMed by our own @illegallyelliot.bsky.social, and in general. They're a kick-ass podcast full of amazingly kind and funny people. They have a full Monster of the Week run and are currently playing Ironsworn!

I reiterate, listen to our podcast to spite God

You've been no less than a literal inspiration to me both as a TTRPG performer and a person. Your kindness is unmatched, while also holding people accountable in a very fair way. 💜

Thank you, legitimately, for paving the way for us. 💜

And their second season of Masks includes @speakerjpg.bsky.social who you might know from just about everything and is an absolute gem of a human being and great RPer

While they have a much higher threshold of power in their game, their focus on community is very similar to our own and their vibes are immaculate. Also, the cast are all sweethearts and helped me out in a big way when I first started podcasting.

Our second podcast spotlight goes to Nerds On A Roll! GMed by @gmlsp.bsky.social, you've heard me mention it as an inspiration for running Masks if you listened to our session 0 episode.

They ran a variety of series with a wide cast of memorable characters and get possibly the closest to a comic book feel of any Masks podcast out there.

We gotta start with the podfather of #MasksRPG APs, Protean City Comics!

Started by @blg.bsky.social and @malloyable.bsky.social, it was the first introduction to Masks for a lot of people, and what an intro it was!

While we're on our hiatus, we wanna shout out some of the podcasts that inspired us and/or ones we just enjoy!

The short version is: we're going on hiatus to build our backlog back up because scheduling problems happened and it's a lot easier to run a podcast when you're not laying the track as the train is going down it

An announcement! (We're not ending the show, we promise)
