    I'd like to shout out Miss Miskatonic's cat Jack, and this absurd sleeping position. Upside down, inside out, twisted, folded, and knocked out. I'm impressed.

Wil Logsdon- NBaN ,

The stars are right on campus at MUP

This is a great podcast for both newcomers andgrizzled low SAN veteransbrand new Lovecraftian and other horror/sci-fi tabletop gaming. Episodes cover recent gaming news, in depth discussions on best practices for players and GMs alike, individual game breakdowns, product reviews, and more— and that’s before you throw in interviews with top names from across the ttrpg/actual play industry. Keepers Murph and Dave call on their experience as lifelong tabletop enthusiasts to provide discussions with their own unique insights and opinions, while newcomer Keeper Bridgett brings the fresh perspectives and unbridled enthusiasm of someone earlier on in their love affair with gaming. The tone is a perfect balance of informative and conversational, and there are plenty of humorous moments that add levity to the proceedings without being so pervasive that they derail the discussion of the topic at hand. Finally, all three hosts are very active on the MUP discord server. They regularly interact with listeners and maintain a vibrant community that is is well moderated and welcoming to all. I cannot recommend this podcast enough!!!
