Some podcast and Reddington Inspo, thanks to Netherworld! I do think Reddington needs this pumpkin.

[equalseleventhirds]

ok! some of my running around has paused for a bit, so here am i, reccing a podcast i'm in:

Once Upon a Monster of the Week, a MOTW-driven ttrpg podcast but edited down to make it more like an audio drama (but improv!). Has a pretty big cast so you get multiple groups (and I adore all of them so much) solving multiple mysteries.

The story: in the small town of Reddington, New Hampshire, monsters and magic run... not exactly wild, but there are a bunch. Luckily, the town council has called on some Reddington citizens to help out! This is definitely a normal part of everyday life in Reddington, and all of the people called on for this understand that this is a totally normal thing that they should not question. At all.

Of course, the town council doesn't just hire monster hunters or whatever. No, these groups of citizens are working to improve the community! Meaning they have 100% real non-monster-hunter jobs and just, maybe, happen to help out the town by solving mysteries and hunting down monsters. You know.

All four groups have episodes out now, so have a listen and meet: The news bulletin (yes that's me i'm on that one), who run the Reddington Daily something-or-other, a perfectly normal town newspaper which is definitely not reporting on weird monster activities. Or swamp people.

The parks & rec department, who help with things like planning the fall festival and catching stray unicorns, and who definitely all get along great, there is no overt hatred and refusal to cooperate going on with them! No you cannot still hear CB screaming in their car.

The historical preservation society, currently working on an exhibit about the Titanic, which is integral to Reddington's history. Some of them may be a little anxious... or a little spooky... or talk to the dead a tiny bit... but surely this will just help with making a great exhibit!

The neighborhood watch, dedicated to keeping Reddington safe! As the neighborhood watch, all of them are upstanding members of the community, and none of them are doing any crimes or chaos or anything. Of course not, they're the neighborhood watch!

All four of these groups are coordinated by Wendy, our puppetmaster jailer secretary narrator, and representative of the mysterious town council. She's here to make sure all of these Reddington citizens remember to do their jobs and keep their hometown safe, as any member of a wonderful community like Reddington would.

(check us out on most podcatchers, but also there is a website, a twitter, and also now a tumblr! you can ask wendy questions! she will definitely answer honestly. also check out our patreon; we've got lots of fun bonus content coming up.)

(pls note, do listen to the teaser trailers, as there is extra content in there not in the main episodes! you get a little peak into reddington and our characters. also note, sorry to say we don't have official transcripts just yet; one of our goals if we start making money is to hire a paid transcriber tho!!)

Tumblr Shift

I mean with Twitter being bought out, probably time for me to start using this again regularly. Especially as it won’t be 99% just me yelling about my own toxic relationship hell. 

I think I might make this my own personal fan fic for my podcast idkidk

Anyways, updated the page - new pictures! Header photo was done by @chaosflight -- not for the intent of my Tumblr, but using it as a holding place photo atm while figuring out what to do with this! 

And because IT PRETTY.

But just know that the teenz, while preparing for Homecoming...well, they’re not doing great just yet. Find our Episode Here! (Or by searching for Once Upon a Monster of the Week on all your podcatchers) 

And here is where you can find all of OUAMOTW’s released episodes (Or again! Your podcatcher of choice!) 

And here you can find them all in Mystery order!

Today is my last day of vacation SO

It is my dedicated day to being a showrunner woo!

Starting at noon, because before I am STILL. UN. PACKING.

But am excited to be starting up season 2 soon! (Which won't air for...I think we are officially 6 months between release and recording, so season 2 would be next fall!)

But mostly I'm excited every time I realize I'm not doing this alone.

We at ouamotw have taken on a lot. Genuinely, we know it. Are there things we would do differently in those early sessions and episode? Sure!

But it also makes me really excited for what is to come.

Anyways, I don't talk a lot about being the showrunner on here, mostly because I can't imagine someone would actually care, but if you think running an audio drama, actual play show, or really anything creative is easy, you're welcome to come take my boring work!

Woke up this morning to an invitation....maybe you should join me so that the Town Council doesn't get mad??

[ouamotw]

We were able to nab the last active Agent of B.E.E.F. file. Agent Cumulanimbus Doe...Nim Doe. This one is a doozy.

If Nim can be made an agent just by wanting a hamburger, none of us are safe.

I am having so much fun creating things for this podcast it keeps my heart full

But I think creating motivational posters out of the stuff the characters say may be my favorite thing

[ouamotw]

Dear Wendy: What's your favorite treat?

[ouamotw]

Today we are talking about Newt Schottlekotte, who voices our vampire, CB! Newt is a force, and if you don’t know their name now, you will soon! Highly recommend checking them out on Where the Stars Fell and Midnight Burger!

Asked my players what we should do for pride month. Got some great ideas!

First, our Town Selectman, Norman Newman, told us how he is actually ordained by the Church of Reddington!

The Church of Reddington is a purely secular government body that exists mostly for tax evasion reasons, but it WILL marry any two or more entities as long as they are of consenting age and Reddington citizens! Norman is an ordained minister of the CoR, and said of his work there:

Norman: "We see a lot of unusual pairings or unions happen, I would say. Probably the one that comes to mind most often is the time I married a man and a woodpecker. But the woodpecker was telepathic, and could consent and deliver it's own vows. And the woodpecker was actual male! So, you know. Hashtag love wins!"
