Episode #66: Sleepaway with Merely Roleplayers Pt. 1

Show Notes This week, Fiona is joined by Matt, Nat, Josh, and Strat from the Merely Roleplayers Podcast for ‘Sleepaway’, a game of horror, dreams, and summer camp, written by Jay Dragon. In ‘Sleepaway’, players play as camp counsellors at a not-so-ordinary summer camp besieged by a strange and ominous cryptid known as the Lindworm. Isolated from civilization, the summer camp is seen as a beacon of safety, a refuge for misfit kids defined by their marginalization.  As counsellors of this summer camp, the players have each been traumatized by the Lindworm, in their own way. Whilst they remember little of that time, they don’t want anyone else to suffer at the hands of the Lindworm, and they’ll do anything to keep the camp safe no matter what.
