Kitten Marlowe

Thank you! I’ll admit to being a pretty cutthroat editor. From raw recording to finished ep, I easily cut 50% of the runtime to get things to a streamlined 35-45 minutes. I like to keep things moving!

First episode is less then 60 minutes, which tells me this is an actually edited AP! Retweeting just for that tbh.

Your list is impeccable

I watch a LOT of the Between.
this is EASILY a top tier Between game.
it's also great for people who like
-found family
-but it's FUCKt UP
-folkloric & historical deep cuts
-men who are tough kind & dirty
-cinnamon rolls, too soft too pure
-women who can step on me
-clever magicians
-pajama parties

Me: yay, we finally did a cute and cozy episode in my AP of The Between! 🩷✨🎀
Also me:

All very valid responses when one meets Ms. Ena Thanero.

We are a cast of proud Angelenos. Happy to support this great charity bundle!

Thank you! It’s a great group.

The No ICE in California charity bundle on itch.io is set to launch on July 4 to support two incredible Immigrants Rights organizations, RAICES and Immigrant Defenders Law Center.

So I’d say it was mostly improvised, with the help of some very quick bullet points that got written down during other players’ turns!

None of us were prepared for the epicness, as you can see from the video 😆

This game hops focus between the players a lot. I’ll play out a scene with Player A, ask for a roll, hear the number, and then do the same with Players B, C, etc., before coming back to A and playing the resolution of the roll. So she had… 5-10 minutes to prep before the spotlight came back to her?

Miss Thanero didn’t even need her sunglasses – things were so shady at the exhibit!

We all love to hate the Dapper Boy.

There’s just something about Dame Teasdale that just really makes a person want to see her suffer.

Thank you so much for your kind words! Thrilled that you’re enjoying the show so far.

I haven't gotten to this scene yet—having only discovered this AP tonight and so far only getting to Ep 3—, but I cannot wait to.

Every moment so far has been excellently set, every character interesting, and I have been sold on The Between so very completely.

You remain one of the biggest champions of Kitten Marlowe! Thank you!

One of the moves in @jasoncordova.bsky.social’s The Between is Taketh Away, which requires you to destroy a Side Character physically, spiritually, or socially. And yet, nothing could have prepared us for the social devastation that was laid upon Dame Teasdale in our latest ep.

I love this game…

"We have far more TTRPG systems than we could ever need."

Correct, 100%, no notes.

"We need to do something about that."

Yes, we need to make more.

We're just starting to get good at it.

It’s hard out here for a fledgling non-DnD show, but I can’t be thankful enough for all of the early support Kitten Marlowe and Shadows in the Smoke have received. We are even getting love from people who have only listened to DnD! Carved from Brindlewood really is that girl. kittenmarlowe.com/smoke

Considering Kitten Marlowe has existed for less than 2 weeks, this feels pretty awesome. I’ve loved @jasoncordova.bsky.social’s The Between for years, and I’m so happy that people are connecting with Kitten Marlowe and Shadows in the Smoke – even people who previously didn’t know about CfB games!

A big moment in the life of any AP podcast is your first instance of fanart. So pleased to get to share art of our beloved Maesie Douglas, as drawn by Violet_Skies. She is baby!

Ep1 has arrived! In which the hunters are introduced and waste no time in scandalizing their poor GM.

Our AP of The Between is available on our website (with transcripts!) or at Kitten Marlowe whenever you listen to podcasts! kittenmarlowe.com/episode/shad...

Episode 1, and the players already had me clutching my pearls on five separate occasions. I’m so proud.

First ep drops TONIGHT. Go ahead and give Kitten Marlowe a cheeky little follow on your podcatcher of choice if you’d like to hear the exploits of some very horny monster hunters in an equally horny Victorian London. I feel like we are doing #TheBetween proud.
