The Graveyard Tapes

Valentine offers to help out in John's antique shop to avoid the faction cookie swap and ends up falling prey to a magical hat that wants to turn him into Santa Claus. Jackie springs into action to find a way to reverse this before Valentine becomes actual Saint Nick.

Valentine and friends have to contend with mixed up voices and powers while they find some way to undo the mess Avarice has them in, before she finishes what she started.

Valentine is surprised to find someone is putting on a show about his life. When he goes to demand his cut, he realizes a little too late that the show might just be for show.

Valentine has to face his fear of bog monsters in his basement to fix his leyline router, only to nearly cause a break in time.

Thread explores some of her new memories, and how things have changed over the years since the day everything changed for the Pixies.

A promo and an update for our sister show, Queen City Supers.

Everyone returns home after a long first day of school, then we have a time skip. Our heroes work on their teamwork, as well as honing their own abilities. They also get introduced to Abby, their Overwatch. Then one day after a very successful challenge, they come across a building on fire.

While investigating the mystery of a disappearing GD, Thread uncovers some unexpected truths (unlocked by her poking at Zero's memories). They also meet the goddess of inevitability, compulsion, and necessity who tells them that what is soon to happen was always going to happen eventually.

Our heroes discussed their shared experiences with being supers, as well as pieces of their personal journey. They discuss how ethics are different for heroes, as well as the strange corners found in superhero fandoms.

Our heroes take some time to get to know each other better over some pizza at Madigan's. Daegda is delighted by the company and Bethany is thrilled to get to know her friends outside of the superhero mask.

Two goons stand between our heroes and completing this challenge. Will their coordinated attack be enough to overpower them? Once the day is done, our heroes decide to go unwind at Scarlet's place because she is finally ready to share her identity with Glider.

Investigating this fake villain's lair, our heroes begin to piece together the plan for a mysterious plot that threatens several heroes. Can they uncover the “villain's” true goal in time?

Our heroes learn how teamwork and communication led to some wonderful rescues in the past, and how some of the greatest rescues never happened because the crime was stopped before it could happen. Then they are given a challenge to see if they can stop a tragedy before it can take place. Glider's enthusiasm leaves her a little embarrassed, but her friends rally to help her regain her confidence.

After a rather eventful start to the day, our heroes are left to their own devices. They decide to take advantage of their freedom to get a lay of the land and maybe sit in on a class. Marcus suggests sitting in on a Rescue 101 lecture. It starts with everyone's favorite thing: introducing themselves.

Kid Phoenix is pushed to the limit and has to resort to his other powers to impress his new mentor. They all meet afterward in the common area to refuel and rehydrate before deciding what to do with the rest of their day.

Glider goes to show off her speed to Gulf Stream with embarrassing results while Scarlet Sentinel manages to impress the impressive Captain Formidable.

After their tour and an explanation of how things work at the Institute, our heroes get to meet their first mentors.

Our heroes get a tour of the institute courtesy of Jenna O'Malley and Vector Kain, before being taken to meet their mentors.

Our heroes arrive at the Hero Institute, ready to see what the day holds for them. Glider is surprised by an offer of speedster coffee from the Phoenix, who was stopping by after doing his team's coffee run. Then on the inside, they nearly run into a spot of trouble and we see the start of a rivalry with Hubris.

Marcus returns home and takes some time to decompress before going to tell his dad about what happened with the test. Felix continues to be supportive and tries to brush the hands off as a fluke, but Marcus isn't buying it so he goes to experiment.

Madigan goes home and has to come to terms with the fact that she will one day have to choose between her career in tech and her career as a hero. Because as much as she loves tech, she loves helping those in need.

Glider returns home to her parents who are less than enthusiastic about having their daughter become a superhero. They share their concerns and she goes back to her ordinary life, waiting eagerly to hear back from the Institute.

Our hopeful heroes take some time to unwind with a celebratory boba in light of their passing the first test. They still have a lot to learn about being heroes, but this is their first step. They also have a lot to learn about each other.

Some things didn't go exactly to plan, but now it is time to stop the villains before they can finish the device and destroy the hotel. The fight is going to be three on three, assuming their intel is correct, and it is going to be a tough one indeed.

Our heroes split up to cripple the device and get the lay of the land before they take down the villains in the penthouse. They also get a taste of how dangerous the hero life can be.

Our heroes find themselves in the first part of the interview process for the Hero Institute, which is an unexpected test where they need to save the hotel and those trapped inside. So they begin their recon and start looking for the villains they are supposed to face.

Glider, Scarlet Sentinel, and Kid Phoenix are three of Queen City's up-and-coming superheroes. A few weeks ago, they stopped the vile FumiGator from getting his hands on a special program developed by ZPT for AEGIS. Tonight, they have been invited to a special event celebrating the city's bright future. They were told they would be receiving a reward, but it seems they are in for something unexpected.

The Hunters follow the trail to a full-grown gremlin who is preparing to cast something. They interrupt it and sustain some damage while getting it under control, but they do manage to secure the creature and its contraband. Then they go rescue the person who went missing.

Our Hunters follow the trail until it inexplicably splits, and in trying to discern which way to go, Hank learns a little bit more about magic. Check out the game: https://evilhat.com/monster-of-the-week/

Madigan, Hank, and Tazer are walking around a shopping area when they notice someone disappear. In their place is a completely ordinary doll. Naturally, they decide to investigate. Check out the game: ⁠https://evilhat.com/monster-of-the-week/⁠

With a slight change in roles, Threadripper's escape plan is put into action. The Wolf Hunters have no idea what is coming for them. And, apparently, neither does Thread when a blast from her past swoops in to lend a hand.

With Thread in the hands of some sophisticated magic thieves, Valentine has to call in the cavalry to get their friends out of trouble without handing more magic to these troublesome (and potentially dangerous) normies.

Threadripper finds herself and her friends in a uniquely dangerous situation, and it is going to take some creative thinking to escape. Because if they don't, it could spell bad news for a lot of people.

Threadripper takes a well deserved vacation to figure out her feelings and herself, but she may soon be faced with another mystery.

...

Valentines Yule party is interrupted by an unexpected call to save Christmas, only to find himself faced with a multiversal mystery and a capitalistic conundrum.

. Its time for the Queen City Supernaturals game night and the name of the game is Pixie Poker. But when an unexpected visitor shows up Valentine finds himself a different game with much higher stakes.

Savvy helps Zero get a delayed episode for Threadripper and do battle with an Evil AI (who may not be all that evil). Valentine and Iffy are dragged into playtesting one of Zero's games, but they make their escape when Melinda calls in her favor to get them to deal with a pesky pooka.

Iphigenia (Iffy) is home for Spring Break. She goes to O'Hanlons to meet up with her brother George. George's friend Tanner drops by, which annoys Iffy. She goes to the bar to get drinks and meets Valentine, Reeza and Savvy. They enlist her help in dealing with a Kappa that's living in the dumpster behind the bar.

Two stories from the world of the Graveyard Tapes: Jackie helps a friend deal with a possession problem and Threadripper goes to try her luck at the casino (and ends up with more than she bargained for).

Valentine dives into Eris' memories to find the key to stopping her parents from devouring them whole.
