A queer actual play podcast about messy relationships, complex characters, grounded stories, and exploring emotional landscapes PLAYING: Masks: A New Generation
A few folks have been asking for it, and we wouldn't want to let down our amazing fans! You can now listen to all the old Feelings First episodes on Anchor and on Spotify! https://t.co/CXvgcEzD65

@bagira92036030 Hi! Sorry about this, we had to cancel our SoundCloud Pro, which meant we haven't had anywhere to host the podcast for the last couple of months. We've been looking for a free alternative, but life has gotten in the way of organising that.
What I want to hear from y'all is whether there's an appetite for any of this. It'll be a lot of work—there's still ~30-40 hours of podcast to edit—and we want that to be worthwhile.
So, let us know what you think.
Hey Feelings Fans, it's been a hot minute. Ashley here, with an update about what's been happening.
As you can tell, covid hit us pretty hard on the production. Season 4 recording wrapped last year, but we couldn't find time to edit any episodes. Hence nothing new in the feed.
We divided the show into three solid arcs, and we could just release the two that are story complete. We could edit everything we have, and just leave the season without an ending. Or, we could try to salvage the last 3 sessions into a clip show/wrap up, with a voice over.
As always, Alexi’s newsletter is full of insights and well-chosen anecdotes (and this month, some cool #LowCantrefs musings!).
Also loving his thoughts on non-cinematic framing after our deliberately theatrical turn playing the Bakers’ Under Hollow Hills over on @FeelingsFirst_.
@recombinatrix@seylegs We bought culture and entertainment to that human "shopping centre"—whatever that is—for the mere price of one human parent, one human child, and a shard of a phylactery belonging to the great Daemon E'lnMux.
Under Hollow Hills is absolutely one of my favourite games, it was such a joy to play on @FeelingsFirst_. Buy this game, have beautiful, chaotic fairy adventures.
Quote Tweet with a photo of you that somebody else has taken. Selfies are not allowed. It can be old or new but ideally one that really captures you.

New episode live now! Hear the incredible, wide-ranging, thought-provoking interview with @wildwoodsgames about @FeelingsFirst_, Grand Guignol, a triskelion of games rooted in properly British folklore, and being a former professional GM for children. Wow!

Just done an interview with @wildwoodsgames about @FeelingsFirst_, gothic / queer lenses in TTRPGs, various monster metaphors, the cultural hegemony that Tolkienesque folklore holds, and its masking effects, and why to play TTRPGs with kids. Check out this great chat on July 4th!
@recombinatrix We're doing good! Just been very busy and hectic so we haven't been able to get any new episodes squared away. Rest of masks should be ready soon, though!
