Channels: Holiday Special (Patreon)

It's Christmas in Broken River / and all through the town / there's a normal amount / of weird stuff going down. // But when there's pop culture references / or things start to rhyme? / That's when you know: / You're in for a bad time. Mr. Ray from $2 Creature Feature reminds us all that Kings of Bolera isn't the only video game world worth exploring. Join our illustrious guest GM on a holiday special that pits Robert V. Slaughter, Sutton Malone, Jack Harrow, and her floating book Gris against a series of surprisingly familiar visitors. You'll laugh! You'll cry! You'll throw your controller at the screen! -------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.

It's like they say: If you head into the belly of the beast, you might just get swallowed. Okay, nobody else says that, but it is what happened this time. The GopherTec power plant is on high alert, and the culprit may just have a suspiciously familiar set of abilities. And an equally suspicious set of fangs. To stop the mystery culprit, our heroes will have to hit the streets. But first, they'll have to escape the LOCKDOWN.-------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.

In Broken River, MN, all roads lead to the Gophertec facility. Silver Sands Hydroelectric Power Plant may be more than the heart of this town, it may be the center of the mysteries plaguing our heroes. Or at the very least, it's a GREAT big building with a WHOLE lot of secrets, and isn't that kind of the same thing when you think about it?-------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.

Every year, Ashford Hollow holds its quaint All Hallows’ Eve Festival, complete with pumpkin carving, a costume parade, and the traditional twelve chimes from the church bell at the witching hour. But this year, after the final twelfth chime… a thirteenth toll rings out. The festival’s Pumpkin Queen has vanished, her carved pumpkin crown smashed to pieces in the town square. The smell of burnt sage hangs in the air, and faint, eerie laughter from somewhere high in the bell tower.-------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.

Content Warning: References to self-harmWhen a gigantic sea monster crashes the boat parade, just about everybody in Broken River starts freaking out. Except for our heroes. It turns out that when you spend enough time in an alternate universe of monsters and magic, you kind of get used to this sort of thing. But this is bigger than anything even Robert, Sutton and Jack have faced before. And they might not be able to face it alone.-------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.

Well, the good news is that we can prove to the mages that these monsters are real. The bad news is that they're MONSTERS! Our adventuring party finds themselves trapped inside the Fallen Star tower with the enormous beast that leads them, but something seems off.

The Fallen Star Tower is plainly crawling with monsters. But for daring to oppose the authority's lie, "There is nothing at Fallen Star," the mage tower's council refuse to release their prisoner. Even though they TOTALLY SHOULD. But there's no arguing with the all-knowing wizard... unless you show them they aren't as smart as they think.-------If you liked this episode, please leave a rating and review to help us spread the word and don't forget to share with your friends.
