The Thief

Recent Episodes
While the next season of THE THIEF is around the corner, I want to introduce you to something else I'm making. It's a horror story, a Walking Dead TTRPG, set in 1995 - and I think you'll dig it.
The Young is a coming-of-age actual play in which a strange sickness spreads through Nokomis County, Michigan, in the summer of '95 - the year Camp Whippoorwill closed for good. This is a horror story.
On the long weekend before the campers arrive, the new teen junior counselors and cabin monitors for the summer of '95 - the "camptains" - reunite at Camp Whippoorwill.

“A Huddle-close Yarn” is an interlude — a kind of tide-me-over — between seasons of The Thief.
Listen or read the story entirely out of context: it is spoiler free, and it doesn’t require having listened to the first season.
The Thief is a labor of love. Refer just one rogue and earn your way into the fyrd.

I am in the script-making part of the next season of The Thief, so there’s not much creative exhaust that makes for a neat update. Instead, how about a new teaser? Here is a letter found in Wirwen Osgard’s things.

About The Thief
"The Thief" is a Dungeons and Dragons actual play, with just one player -- Sisi Wei -- and a full cast of NPCs, supported with soundscapes.
The original world is grim, and it is unlikely the thief will survive.
