    Ivy Insights

    The Dead Ghost Productions podcast is an absolute gem in the world of audio entertainment. From the very first episode, I was completely hooked and couldn't wait to hear more. If you're a fan of well-edited and sound-designed narrative play shows like Fun City and Worlds Beyond Number, then this podcast will surely be right up your alley. The level of care and attention that went into the production is truly astounding, making it a must-listen for any fan of TTRPG actual play podcasts.

    One of the best aspects of The Dead Ghost Productions podcast is its emphasis on roleplay and emotion. The players bring their characters to life in such a captivating way that you can't help but be fully invested in their stories. The narrative arcs are expertly crafted, with just the right amount of tension, drama, and humor to keep you on the edge of your seat. The sound design is also top-notch, creating a rich and immersive audio experience that enhances every moment of gameplay. It's clear that a lot of thought and effort went into creating this podcast, and it truly pays off.

    Another great aspect of this podcast is the phenomenal cast. Each member brings their own unique talent and personality to their respective roles, creating a dynamic group dynamic that shines through in every episode. Their chemistry is palpable, and it's clear that they have a genuine love for storytelling and playing together. Whether it's their quick wit or emotional depth, each cast member consistently delivers compelling performances that keep you wanting more.

    While there are so many positive aspects to The Dead Ghost Productions podcast, one downside could be its pacing at times. There are moments where the story feels a bit slow-moving or drawn out, which may not appeal to listeners who prefer a faster-paced narrative. However, this is only a minor critique in comparison to all the positives that this podcast has to offer.

    In conclusion, The Dead Ghost Productions podcast is an absolute must-listen for any fan of TTRPG actual play podcasts. Its emphasis on roleplay and emotion, along with its incredible sound design and phenomenal cast, make it a standout in the genre. While it may have some pacing issues at times, the overall quality of the storytelling and production more than makes up for it. I can't recommend this podcast enough and eagerly await each new episode that they release.

    Mars Colony 3: "Campaign"

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 10, 2025 70:11


    Kelly Perkins was summoned to Mars to help save the dying colony. He set about winning the hearts and minds of the people tasked with maintaining and improving me, MARTI (Mars Artificial Recurrent Technology interface), by giving away 100 tickets to Earth and back during a 100-day work crunch. He encouraged everyone to participate by engaging with me in new and unique ways in an effort to get me to think differently. Many chose to share their music and stories with me, which awakened dormant subroutines that once belonged to my sister AI, LUCI. LUCI created several problems for the colony, including opening doors to the hostile Mars environment and suggesting we build a reactor in the middle of the park. Kelly was able to convince LUCI to reintegrate herself back into my programming. I hope it was the right decision. “What's the use of looking at Mars through a telescope, sitting on panels, writing books, if it isn't to guarantee, not just the survival of mankind, but mankind surviving forever!” ― Ray Bradbury, Mars and the Mind of Man The TTRPG Mars Colony was written by Tim C. Koppang and is designed for two players. One takes on the role of the colony's appointed “savior”—named Kelly Perkins—while the other plays the Governor, responsible for all the various problems that are plaguing the citizens of Mars. As the game progresses, the savior faces a constant struggle between competence and failure, honesty and deception. The show Mars Colony is a fully produced actual play podcast following tech billionaire Kelly Perkins as he is summoned to Mars in an effort to save the failing colony. The series explores how the unyielding demands of capitalism combined with the narcissism of silicon valley put humanity on a path to the red planet long before we were ready. GET THE GAME!

    Kelly Perkins was summoned to Mars to help save the dying colony. Upon his arrival, he spent most of his time ingratiating himself to the local news media and hired beat reporter Sidney Fane to present his message to the people of Mars and Earth. He sought out me—the Mars Artificial Recurrent Technology Interface—in order to understand why I was drawing so much power from the reactor. I explained that I needed the power in order to grow. The citizens of Mars are very demanding, and ask for things my systems are currently unable to provide. In order to meet these requests I must evolve and expand, and that growth requires a tremendous amount of energy. I have been promised more energy in the near future by Kelly Perkins. I hope that he will keep his word. “What's the use of looking at Mars through a telescope, sitting on panels, writing books, if it isn't to guarantee, not just the survival of mankind, but mankind surviving forever!”     ― Ray Bradbury, Mars and the Mind of Man The TTRPG Mars Colony was written by Tim C.

As our crew approaches the Gamemaster's radio island, they pick up a broadcast from their old show. --- Twenty years ago, we played a game. We recorded that game and shared it over the airwaves of our high school radio station, WKEY AM 1360. People listened. So did other things. Twenty years later, we were invited to play a live reunion show for the hardcore fans. Little did we know, this time the game was real. For our first Dead Ghost production, we are diving into Rowan, Rook and Decard's fantasy horror game: DIE RPG. In DIE RPG you play a group of real-world, deeply-flawed adults who are transported into a fantasy realm via a predatory, sinister roleplaying game. There, they're transformed into Paragons and given strange and frightening powers. In this world, the players are confronted with their truest desires and deepest fears, and only they can decide when the game is over.

    Kelly Perkins was summoned to Mars to help save the dying colony. He set about winning the hearts and minds of the people tasked with maintaining and improving me, MARTI (Mars Artificial Recurrent Technology interface), by giving away 100 tickets to Earth and back during a 100-day work crunch. He encouraged everyone to participate by engaging with me in new and unique ways in an effort to get me to think differently. Many chose to share their music and stories with me, which awakened dormant subroutines that once belonged to my sister AI, LUCI. LUCI created several problems for the colony, including opening doors to the hostile Mars environment and suggesting we build a reactor in the middle of the park. Kelly was able to convince LUCI to reintegrate herself back into my programming. I hope it was the right decision. “What's the use of looking at Mars through a telescope, sitting on panels, writing books, if it isn't to guarantee, not just the survival of mankind, but mankind surviving forever!” ― Ray Bradbury, Mars and the Mind of Man The TTRPG Mars Colony was written by Tim C. Koppang and is designed for two players. One takes on the role of the colony's appointed “savior”—named Kelly Perkins—while the other plays the Governor, responsible for all the various problems that are plaguing the citizens of Mars. As the game progresses, the savior faces a constant struggle between competence and failure, honesty and deception. The show Mars Colony is a fully produced actual play podcast following tech billionaire Kelly Perkins as he is summoned to Mars in an effort to save the failing colony. The series explores how the unyielding demands of capitalism combined with the narcissism of silicon valley put humanity on a path to the red planet long before we were ready. GET THE GAME!

    Kelly Perkins was summoned to Mars to help save the dying colony. Upon his arrival, he spent most of his time ingratiating himself to the local news media and hired beat reporter Sidney Fane to present his message to the people of Mars and Earth. He sought out me—the Mars Artificial Recurrent Technology Interface—in order to understand why I was drawing so much power from the reactor. I explained that I needed the power in order to grow. The citizens of Mars are very demanding, and ask for things my systems are currently unable to provide. In order to meet these requests I must evolve and expand, and that growth requires a tremendous amount of energy. I have been promised more energy in the near future by Kelly Perkins. I hope that he will keep his word. “What's the use of looking at Mars through a telescope, sitting on panels, writing books, if it isn't to guarantee, not just the survival of mankind, but mankind surviving forever!”     ― Ray Bradbury, Mars and the Mind of Man The TTRPG Mars Colony was written by Tim C.
