The D'Amore sisters are back in a more permanent fashion, having gone to retrieve their things from Philadelphia and hauled them all the way out west!  The town's changed a little as well, with some businesses closing for well-deserved retirements, and others popping up with huge fanbases attached!  What kind of secrets still lurk in the town, and what kind of hunks are single and lookin...

It's been a little over two years in real-time since we last saw the D'Amore sisters, and there's been some changes in the wonderful little town of Cozy Caverns, but nothing too crazy could've happened?

Every one of the camp counselors still accounted for has been battered, beaten, and chased, and the death toll at Camp Tortoise Lake is continuing to climb higher as the night progresses.  Will the remaining counselors manage to evade their attackers and get out of danger, or will the campground end up being everyone's final resting place? Episode 4/4 Content Warnings: Adult Language, Adult S...

Things really came to a head back at that bonfire, didn't they?  With everyone scattering to the winds on account of the uninvited guest who showed up for the party, things've become a lot more dire!  Will Mac and Shawn live long enough to consummate their relationship?  Will Damien ever get to show Crystal what else he can do with his ropeworking skills?  Does anybody know how to fire a...

The party's in full swing for the counselors, and some people are indulging a little more than others!  Absolutely nothing is better than period-appropriate tunes, kicking back for a few drinks with your new pals, and just vibing.  Just make sure you catch the beers when they're tossed to you; otherwise, it's alcohol abuse! Episode 2/4 Content Warnings: Adult Language, Adult Situati...

It's late May in 1987, and a whole bunch of hormone-d up camp counselors are ready for a summer full of fun, partying, and also taking care of kids, which is certainly not their first priority!  There's still another week before the camp opens properly, so all of the counselors are getting there early to help set everything up and get to know one another!  Sounds like a real fun time&apo...

It might be cold outside where you are currently, but in Vermont, the summer of 1987 is definitely heating up!  Join nine camp counselors as they embark on setting up Camp Tortoise Lake, one of the premier summer camps for kids ages 11-13 in the New England area!  There'll be excitement, counselor romances, and a bunch of other surprises.  And of course, what would a summer camp be without a...

With the story finished for now (by the time you actually hear this we'll have already recorded at least a couple of episodes for season 2), we look back over this last season and talk about thoughts for the future,  what made us laugh, what made us want to tear our hair out, and a whole bunch of other nonsense relating to what we just did.  Enjoy, and have a lovely Winter  Holiday from John,...

A dire start to things leaves the cast-mates imperiled, but even if they end up getting out of their current situation, they're still in custody, right?  What kind of chicanery could possibly happen to save them from their current situation?  It'd be pretty stupid for us to tell you here, honestly, so maybe just check out what happens in the episode instead! Episode 23/24 Content Warning...

With the cast-mates in Lopani custody, they're safe enough, at least from external threats, but will Virion's meddling with whatever he removed from C'mra have unexpected consequences?  You bet your sweet ass it will, and now everyone's going to be fighting for their lives to make sure they see sweet, sweet freedom again some day.  And one of the cast-mates has to face a shocki...

The cast-mates have found themselves in Lopani custody for a variety of reasons, but you know what?  They're going to make the best of it and comply with whatever they're told to do, that's what!  Surely, one of them won't get naked and shout demands at anyone, that would be ridiculous and also is something that absolutely happens within this episode. Episode 21/24 Content Warn...

After reconvening in the marketplace following their separate escapades and making a couple of last-minute purchases, the cast-mates decide to head to the Champion's Village for a little while.  Unfortunately, things become a little bit complicated for them after a number of issues arise during their check-out at the Lucky Coin Inn... Episode 20/24 Content Warnings: Adult Language, Adult Situ...

The cast-mates reconvene, at least for the most part, for a rowdy night of human-tossing before snuggling down into their beds and starting the next day afresh!  While Rachel and Bailey go and work for Zhermel, Virgil goes to look for things that do fun stuff when lit on fire and Leon discovers his inner Michele Pascarella and becomes a culinary tour de force in the Market District! Episode 19/24...

It maybe be split in multiple perspectives, but Kurosawa this ain't!  While Xander is out on his very important mission, Bailey, Rachel, and Leon are stopped in their tracks when that thing that everyone's been worried about for a while finally happens, and they don't really know what to do in response.  Fortunately, Virgil is always ready to take one for the team, he just doesn&apo...

Hot on the trail of some additional coin, not to mention the furtherance of the aims of the undead slayers, Xander ropes the rest of the cast-mates into a clandestine mission to keep the crew of the Old Barnacle distracted on the docks, and gives the usual amount of specificity to the group as to what he's up to or how they should go about this situation.  After a completely anticipated but s...

Samhain 1985 has come and gone, and the worst part?  It was on a Thursday, so everybody had to go to school or work the next day!  We catch up with everyone involved in this play-through of The Dare, discuss the simplified system that was used, and laugh a whole lot as we look back on this thing that we just did! Content Warnings: Adult Language/Profanity Nobody's playing a character in this...

The veil has thinned, and the unnatural storm pounding down has long since scared trick or treaters off to the safety of their homes, where they sleep soundly even now, visions of full candy bags floating through their undeveloped brains.  But not so for Joey, Jolene, Charlie, and Harry; instead, they find themselves crawling into the sodden earth below the house for a final confrontation with the...

Even though they've dealt with Roger, there's no means of escape for the outcast kids, so they're going to go over as many nooks and crannies of the Old Barnaker House as they can to get a little bit of information about what they're up against, not to mention some extra firepower.  The main question is, will it be enough, especially with things still trying to work against the...

The bad news?  They're trapped inside of a haunted-ass house with a psychotic member of their school body who just murdered his brother and is looking to tune them all up too!  The good news?  Well, they're together at least, so that'll hopefully count for something!  Can these four outcasts survive being hunted through the Old Barnaker House, or will they just become more lights ou...

Even as a wicked storm is brewing outside, the kids are still combing through the Old Barnaker House looking for Jolene's lost Cluck-Cluck Chicken hat so he doesn't have to pay a whole bunch of money, like five dollars even, to get a new one.  Charlie works through some dark theories, Joey takes whatever isn't nailed down, Harry gets into astronomy, and Jolene's deep and abidin...

It's Halloween, 1985 in the town of Franklin, and four middle-schoolers who were set on a night of trick-or-treating are stuck poking around the old Barnaker House because that butthole Roger stole part of one of their costumes.  It might look creepy as all get-out and hasn't been lived in for like twenty years, but there's no way the crummy place is actually haunted, right? Episode...

The Old Barnaker House on the edge of town's never been able to keep a family in it for very long, and there's all kinds of weird stories about what people get up to in there.  Unfortunately for Jolene Bachman (the poor kid), Joey DeLafano (the tough), Harry Enslin (the know-it-all) and Charlie Bruckner (the weird kid), they're forced to divert precious time away from the night&apos...

Xander goes on a mysterious little walkabout and leaves the rest of the group to hang out at the Lucky Coin Inn.  Scandalous secrets are revealed, mostly by Leon because he doesn't think that he did anything wrong, and Bailey's anticipation grows by the moment as she prepares to get hurled through the air like a sack of potatoes.  It's not a kink, though, it's just something pe...

As the sexy singles wander around Lopan's grandest city, they find themselves in all sorts of unique situations!  Virgil, Rachel, and Leon get informed about geography but sadly, still know little about cartography, while Bailey gets some of the best news that she's ever had in her life, and Xander prepares himself for a date with a certain phoenix-tattooed lady at the 8th bell.  Oh, the...

There's a lot of conversation in this one, as the group debates amongst themselves whether or not the dragon they've been told is evil and horrible is ACTUALLY evil and horrible, everyone has a momentary diversion as we recall the phone book armor that John Lithgow wore while shank-fighting Jesse Venture in prison during the movie Ricochet, and everyone explores Thann Ennore a bit more a...
