Show Notes
We didn't think about what happened after we flipped the switch. We didn't need to. All we really needed, at the end, was each other. Content warnings for this episode include: complex family dynamics & interpersonal conflict // apocalypse & societal collapse // darkness and shadow // guns as weapons // knives as weapons // blood and gore // body horror // visions and mind control // violence // grief & loss // death of family members & loved ones // being chased // bugs and insects // hallucinations // tight and enclosed spaces // severe injury // allusions to suicide Afterlight is performed by Amelia Som as Evlan, Em Carlson as Luce, Gina Susanna as Pen, Sean Depner as Danny, and Si Rutherford as our Game Master. Special thanks to our campaign artists. Hannah Harder, who did our cover design, and Lesly Oh, who did our character portraits. Editing, sound design and original music by Si Rutherford.
