Media Spotlight: Simulacra Studios

Welcome back to our media spotlight blog, with this week’s light once again shining on the fine folks at Simulacra Studios!

The Spotlight

Yes, we’ve covered the work of Simulacra Studios before, but don’t let that stop you from checking them out for the first time. They’re arguably the best group of Aberrant actual players out there today (if you know of others of similar calibre, by all means tell us!) and their shows are always entertaining.

If you missed their previous seasons of Trinity Continuum: Aberrant, then don’t despair: they’ve just started Season Three of Atomic Youth, named “Hey Jealousy.” Now is the perfect time to hop on, so please do so and let them know your thoughts:

The Round-Up

Keep an eye on our Twitch schedule for all manner of World of Darkness games and videos taking place in February as we hit every game with a 90% sale on DriveThruRPG and Indie Press Revolution! Take advantage while you can.

If you’re not already following The Onyx Path on YouTube and Twitch, now’s an ideal time to do so. We produce a wealth of content on Twitch every week with a group of stellar partners and content creators, and much of that content makes its way to our YouTube channel too.

Where I Read…

And now for something completely different, as we look at a few of the active “WIR” threads over on RPG.net, where folks read through our books chapter by chapter and give them deep reviews. Live currently, we have a thread for:

They Came from Beyond the Grave!

Chronicles of Darkness?

Trinity Continuum: Aberrant

Mummy: The Curse 2nd Edition

So if you’re more inclined toward reading your reviews, this is a fine place to go.
