Welcome back to the One Shot Derby, the character creation competition between three different TTRPGs! After we play all four(!!) games, The People will vote on the game in which we’ll play out the one shot.

This week, we’re playing The Great Soul Train Robbery by Alexi Sargeant. The entire podcast is a morality play, when you think about it.

Look out for the voting link for the One Shot Derby winner NEXT TUESDAY!

About Us

Join the Party is an actual play podcast with tangible worlds, genre-pushing storytelling, and collaborators who make each other laugh each week. We welcome everyone to the table, from longtime players to folks who’ve never touched a roleplaying game before. Hop into our current campaign, a pirate story set in a world of plant- and bug-folk, or marathon our completed stories with the Camp-Paign, a MOTW game set in a weird summer camp, Campaign 2 for a modern superhero game, and Campaign 1 for a high fantasy story. And once a month we release the Afterparty, where we answer your questions about the show and how we play the game. New episodes every Tuesday.

We’re taking a commercial break from the One Shot Derby -- sponsored by Lucky Strikes, the only cigarette that makes you strong. Eric wanted to know more about Brindlewood Bay, so he reached out to writer Jason Cordova about the game’s postmodern fiction sensibilities and how it works in actual play.

I’ll sing you a song that all greenfolk know (Until, until the water falls home)

That only began fifty years ago (Until, until the water falls home)

We seek the deep lake and a wish-granting salmon (Until, until the water falls home)

So hoist up the sails and load up the cannons (Until, until the water falls home)

O! Rush on the Tide, sail thru’ the Cascade,

an adventure of ships, a ceaseless parade

I dream of roots buried in the deep loam 

but we can’t well sleep til the water falls home.

Can the final grudge match end with any resolution? Or will a higher power scuttle all possible conclusions? Why do we care about the problems of Greenfolk when the Salmon is RIGHT OVER THERE?!?!

Outrunning the horrors wouldn't do us any harm / And we'll all hang on behind.
