Join us as we walk through the process of making a podcast come to life, and of course, what makes Call of Cthulhu a perfect TTRPG for such a process. We will be going over a few of the basics of podcasting, from equipment, software,e and general setup to atmosphere and gaming. This will be a wonderful opportunity to chat about what makes TTRPGs special in the podcasting space.

Brian is an improv performer and instructor who decided a year ago to complete the set of red flags by becoming a podcaster! Currently the Keeper, Editor, and Composer for The Stars Aren't Alright, an actual play Call of Cthulhu podcast (that is doing very well in Poland at the time of writing this bio).

After having developed a love of theatre and music while growing up in Ontario, Brian came out west primarily for the mountains and found his way back into his old artistic pursuits. He is extraordinarily grateful for his friends and castmates in his podcast, and also the friends he has made and the knowledge he's gained through his primary improv community, The Kinkonauts.

The Stars Aren't Alright is an Actual Play comedy/horror podcast, blending the Lovecraftian mythos with a far future, sci-fi setting. The Keeper, Brian, uses the Call of Cthulhu TTRPG system to lead Alex, Catherine, Tom, and Leah through a series of mysterious events, unfolding into eldritch horror that stretches the character's sanity - and, in the end, learning that the true reality bending beings from outside time and space were the friends we made along the way.

We will be going over the basics of 3d printing, and what to know if your getting started. Info on filament and resin printing, and why you might want to go with one or the other.

GooseMinis is a local print-shop out of Calgary, specializing in resin printed miniatures for tabletop gaming and roleplaying. We've been printing for a few years now, and have a ton of experience dabbling with different tools and technologies in the "making" space.
