Here for your listening pleasure is our Podfort 2026 live show as part of the Treefort Music Festival in Boise, Idaho! Sophie takes the DM reins as she guides Simon, Dylan, and special guest Jess Ellis (IG: @jessziter) through a summer camp from Hell playing Dread, a fabulous Jenga tower-based horror TTRPG as tense and wobbly as the wood block tower with which its played.
Our thanks to the festival for having us and to you for listening, and double thanks for following us @playaroundpod on all the good social medias and leaving an Apple Podcasts rate/review. We’ll be back next to our current season of Blades in the Dark next ep!
