Here you can select a story, though we always recommend starting from the beginning. The podcast is a single campaign told across several scenarios.
Our first story kicks off the Stories & Lies campaign as Judge Jacob Morrison recounts his team’s experiences from 1993, as they deal with the greatest threat any of them have ever known.
The scenario is based on “Ladybug, Ladybug, Fly Away Home” written by Jeff Moeller, and can be found in the book The Things We Leave Behind, published by Stygian Fox.
Ladybug features Thomas as the Handler.
We take a trip back in time to 1986 and catch up with Fred Fontaine, still living in his home Province of Québec. Working for the secretive M-EPIC agency, Fred, along with Eugene and Arjun, are sent to investigate the disappearance of another team, and discover that the world is a lot stranger than they may have known.
The scenario is Painting Darkness, a homebrew scenario created for this podcast by Taylor.
Painting Darkness features Taylor as the Handler.
Fairfield sends his very best to investigate an unusual private auction, a gathering of the world’s elite bidding for powerful unnatural tools. Where there is power, there is desire. This story brings the spy-thriller to life as our agents descend upon this auction to recover the only thing that matters.
The scenario is The Auction, a homebrew scenario created for this podcast by Mat.
Heaven’s Flame features Mat as the Handler.
We return to 1993 and rejoin our primary agents, Fred, Willow, and Dorothy, as they are tasked with quelling a possible outbreak of some kind of virus. A virus of the mind.
The Scenario is based on Unremembered by Heinrich Moore, with adaptations and inspiration from Dennis Detwiller’s Impossible Landscapes.
Static features Thomas returning as the Handler.

Fred Fontaine
Former RCMP and M-EPIC agent who fled his home in Québec, landing in the American south. Fred is rugged, calculating, and knows how to get the job done.
Willow Keason
Juggling roles as a doctor and pharmacology expert for the DEA, Willow’s intelligence is unparalleled. Her time in the military has guided her strategic thinking and given her the tools to be a capable leader.
Dorothy Somerset
The odd one out. Dorothy is a professor at Rice University, teaching and studying Archaeological Anthropology, with a focus on death traditions around the world. Her knowledge of the occult and mysterious paint a picture of the world that the others may need.

Each of us has written some short stories that take place in our characters’ lives and backstories, to help paint a better picture of who they are. These events are a real part of their lives, and inform the way they’ve grown and developed over the years.
Check out our short stories collection, where you can read or listen to these short vignettes.
We work on presenting each of our episodes in textual form as well, so that they can be read, as a supplemental format to the show. These transcripts include dialogue and sound effects, and read like scripts.
The episodes are transcribed by cosmonaut on Discord, in collaboration with Stories & Lies, and provided here to help our show become more accessible, and easier to reference.
Throughout our stories, the characters may find things: a letter, a photograph, a news article, a brochure… We strive to present these handouts whenever we can. When possible, we will post handouts to the blog, and they can be found here.
Enjoy reading or viewing the in-game handouts that our characters find, and piecing together the mystery yourself.
