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: the drama and excitement of a superhero high school! Or marathon our completed stories: Campaign 3 for a pirate story set in a world of plant- and bug-folk, the Camp-Paign for 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.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, hi, hello, and welcome to the after-party. |
| 0:02.8 | Folks, if you were in high school today, what would you do for your work study credit? |
| 0:07.3 | I would argue that stage management of 55 unruly teenagers basically counts as a business degree. |
| 0:14.6 | Fair enough. |
| 0:15.8 | Fair enough. |
| 0:17.0 | I think bookstore. |
| 0:18.6 | Oh, that's a good one. |
| 0:19.7 | As my work study, I mean, I would do something cool, like, you know, stage managing Hello Dolly isn't cool. Okay. Rude. She's from Westchester, Brandon. That's the whole point of the show. Thank you. She's a hot lady from Westchester coming to New York City. That's it. What's a work study where I can embezzle funds? Brandon, that was literally what I was going to say. I wanted to be like an intern at the local government, and I find I stumble upon embezzling funds. I was going to say Enron or Bear Stearns. Oh, good. That's good. Good. That's good. No, I'm changing |
| 0:54.9 | mind to Branden's. I want to be my work study program is the big short. Now, I have seen people |
| 1:01.4 | wearing Enron hats in Bushwick, which is to be expected. But I've also seen people carrying their |
| 1:07.5 | Bear Stearns tote bags on the Metro North. And I think, honestly, |
| 1:11.7 | that is like, it's like, it's like proving that you outlasted a war. You know, it's like, it's like I made it out alive, folks, and I kind of respect it. Yeah, it's like having a restaurant merch for a restaurant that doesn't exist anymore. Do you, Eric, can I still have movie pass hats? we do. Exactly. But the thing is Roberta's is not too big to fail. So I honestly, it's more important. Eric, they got frozen pizzas now, so. That's true. It's getting there. All right, folks, lots to talk about in these three episodes of Join the Party. I would like to open up with a little bit of a throwback. Of course, campaign two is |
| 1:45.6 | recommended but not required listening for this campaign. But Pointy Purple Penguin wanted to know, |
| 1:50.8 | I just remembered that girl Lou and her room. So I want to ask, how are they doing? Are they good? |
| 1:56.8 | Is Lou in college now? Does room stay in her dorm or with Lou's parents? What is Lou studying and what college can contain her? |
| 2:03.6 | Oh, that's a good question. I feel like Lou is now like adult Gen Z at this point. Do you want to describe them for folks who don't know who they are? One's a giant mushroom. |
| 2:15.2 | Oh, right. And the other Lou was was like a real, like, rapscallion preteen, teen, I think? |
| 2:23.7 | Teen genius. |
| 2:24.7 | Teen genius. |
| 2:25.6 | A teen genius. |
| 2:27.1 | A teen gist. |
| 2:28.0 | A gene. |
