Josh has wrapped production on the local theater project he was involved with, but the Survival Guide will still be on hiatus for a couple of weeks until a new episode is recorded and released.

In the meantime, here's the "Introductions" episode for an actual play podcast project Josh is involved with. "Novel Games" is created and produced by Susan Quintana, looking to release short campaigns dedicated to various independent TTRPGs.

The first game is Apocalypse Keys, and the first story arc has been released in full. The show is still making its way out to the various platforms, but you can visit I'm such a dummy. There's the show link. https://shows.acast.com/novel-games to listen or download episodes directly.
