While most of our games are designed as one-shot campaigns intended to emulate the movies that have inspired them, this is our first ongoing campaign and it's one that is intended to mirror an ongoing television show rather than a single movie. Playing House is a parody of all of those old 80s and 90s sitcoms we love so much, such as Full House, Family Ties, Roseanne, Growing Pains, Step by Step and so many other live-before-a-studio audience sitcoms complete with a laugh track and all. The game sees Andrew Zamot in the role of JR, patriarch of the Floyd family, Jessica Rose as his stunning housewife Peggy, Jose Manual Discua Fuentes as the teenaged punk rock poser Zack, James Anderson as the overachieved but underappreciated son Jimmy, and Vee Derrick in the role of their lifetime, Mr. Waffles the family dog. Rounding off the Floyd family is Chris Bryant in the roles of youngest Floyd, little Michelle, and of course everyone's favorite pervert Hubie, or Uncle Hubie as he is known in this series.

We are finally back from our holiday hiatus with the debut of our second season. As we approach the one-year anniversary of our first episode, Blood Red Summer, it seemed fitting that we would ring in season 2 the same way we had rung in season 1, with more Blood Red Summer. An unreleased game we've been sitting on since 2023, Blood Red Summer 2 is set just 2 years after the first one and finds Adam Pike seemingly returning from the dead to once again wreak havoc on Camp Crimson. Returning to the iconic role of Tatum Rigby, the original entries final girl, is Vee Derrick. Also returning from the first Blood Red Summer but in completely different roles are James Anderson and Jose Manuel Discua Fuentes. Also, among the cast we have Nick Bryant, Andrew Zamot and Jessica Rose in her Friends Who Pretend debut. It's a stacked cast and this is a long one, but I think you'll have just as much fun on this ride as we have, so go ahead and dim those lights, close those eyes, and immerse yourself in the world of Blood Red Summer 2: Adam's Revenge

We are back with an episode that's been in the works for almost a year now. Today's adventure is called Surf Draculas, a comedy that takes us to the mystical island of Midori Beach, where once every few years, on July 3rd, Vampires can walk the earth during the daytime, making this a prime destination for a vampire vacation.

We are opening our content vault to bring you a game we recorded several years ago that was never meant to make it to this podcast, a game we only recorded for our own amusement at the time. The game in question is Victims, a horror comedy DM'd by Jose Manuel Discua Fuentes and starring James Anderson in the role of Roddy Dexter as well as Andrew Zamot and Chris Bryant in the roles of Chad and Stoney. You can thank Chad and Stoney for this recording making its way to the podcast as these are two characters who are referenced in so many of our other stories we've yet to release, which is why we are now sharing it with you. Set in 1979, A group of friends set out for a weekend of fun by way of a mountain retreat in the woods, but they find more than they bargained for when a family's secrets become unearthed.

The Friends Who Pretend are back with another all new adventure, the anti-buddy comedy, 2 Bros 1 Body. It's Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde meets Weekend At Bernie's as scientist Steven Tampoon (Nick Bryant) accidently awakens an alternate personality, the unhinged Stevie-T (Vee Derrick). As Stevie-T keeps wreaking havoc on Steven's life, can his best friend Santi (Andrew Zamot) help Steven take control of his life, or is Stevie-T going to ruin the lives of everyone around him, Santi included?

The Friends Who Pretend are taking you to the farthest reaches of space for another two-part horror campaign. This one is called VIOLATOR and it is inspired by classic sci-fi horror films such as Alien, The Thing, Event Horizon and so on. When a paramilitary reconnaissance unit is sent to investigate a distress signal sent from a lost research vessel, the seek out to find the passengers on board. What they end up finding is more than they could have bargained for.

In the first episode of Friends Who Pretend, the gang plays Blood Red Summer, a summertime slasher film set in the 1980s. It's the last day of camp and a crazed killer is on the loose. This will surely be one summer these young men and women will never forget.
