Episode Synopsis
Welcome to the first episode of series 86, everyone! In this series, we are covering our first LARP, Strangers on the ‘Net, an online live action roleplaying game where you play as 90’s teens pretending to be 90’s teens in an online fandom forum to pretend to be characters from a fandom you all know and love, with previous guest of the show and designer of this game, Allison K. Cole! In today’s episode, we learn all about the history of this game and dive into character creation by picking our fandom and naming our teens!
