Episode 20: Christian and Stephen are Back for Reals

Ben and Mel are a married couple that use games like Fog of Love and Star-Crossed as a framework to improvise intriguing stories about relationships of all kinds, traditional and non-traditional alike.

Ben and Mel also pull from their real life experiences of dating, marriage, divorce, and remarriage as well as their people-centered occupations of a priest and a principal to answer listener’s relationship questions in the advice portion of the show.

By not taking themselves too seriously, Ben and Mel’s chemistry shines through and gives the show its distinct authentically playful tone. 

If you enjoy audio drama, comedy, advice, or RPG actual play podcasts this one is worth your time! A great place to jump in is Season 2 where all the character’s stories are set in a fictional mysterious town in Maine.

A Wonderful Combination of Comedy, Drama, and Advice.

There are three things I love: Couples who game together. 2 Player RPGs. And Podcasts! This one checks off all of the boxes and is amazing while doing it! It&#39;s hard not to root for one of them, but Mel is CLEARLY my favorite @TeamMel
