    "The Pale God" audio game: Other recordings w/ Nick ,Paul, & Helen as participants?

    I lurk here more than I post (which seems oddly appropriate for this site) but in this case I am going to step out of the dark and shadowy corner because I need some assistance. I absolutely love "The Pale God" audio game. Love. It. I have listened to it an embarrassingly high number of times just because of the hilarious interplay of the participants, the quick pace, and excellent audio quality. Are there any other recordings with Nick ,Paul, and Helen-all three of them-involved? I would love if there was another session with all of four of the participants, including Chris-bang up job on running the game btw- but i assume it may be too much to wish for.
    The subject matter was serious, but the humor was just fantastic. This recording is why i am a patron here. Seriously. If there aren't any other available offerings with Nick ,Paul, and Helen all involved, can someone suggest other actual play recordings that may be similar to it?

    Sorry if there is a thread already on this particular question. I have been searching, just haven't found it yet. I suspect because this falls into a very niche category.

    Thanks for any guidance!

    Hi Heath

    The Pale God remains one of my favourite games I've ever played in - everything seemed to click, and our characters bounced of each other very well. Loved playing it, which I think shows in the audio. Maybe one day we'll manage to get everyone in the same room to have a follow-up (Chris's GMing was an enormous part of why it was such fun, hopefully we can do a Pale God 2 one day if we can force him into the GMs chair once more!)

    As for more recordings - I'm very much the Troy McClure of YSDC - you may remember me from such classics as 'The Sanitorium' and 'Walker in the Wastes - episode 16'

    The Sanitorium was a game we played at Continuum about... bloody hell, I think it's 4 years ago now! Paul, Helen, Greg and I played with Graham (who will forever be Blennophobia in my head - sorry Blenn ) GMing. Sadly, I couldn't make the 2nd part, but I think you might still find it on the patron's feed.

    Not sure if was actually episode 16 but I appeared in the penultimate episode of Walker. It's slightly possible I accidentally killed the campaign. Ahem. Sorry, Val!

    I also make a guest appearance with an infectious German accent in an early Shadows by Gaslight episode... I think it may have been episode 3? Paul & Helen are in all of the above.

    As far as other games - well, we recorded a few at Expo this year. Jon (of Silver Lodge fame) very kindly ran a game of Forgotten Futures, and Paul has made the audio available along with his frankly unbelievable magic pen over here. Over there you'll also find a game of Microlite that I (also very kindly) ran for the group. Helen wasn't present for this one as she's not keen on dungeon crawls (SHE HATES IT! SHE HATES IT FOR EVEEEER! Ahem. Sorry).

    I'm so glad people are still enjoying the Pale God, because it was awesome fun to play. Thank you Chris Lackey! More please

    Thanks for that info Nick. I will certainly grab the mentioned downloads, and extra points for the Troy McClure reference haha... For me, the stars aligned on The Pale God recording. Everyone did such a great job on it. I can qoute things from that game now, which is very, very sad.

    I second the fact that "The Pale God" was an awesome audio game and one of my favourite.
    And yes Nick can have an infectious German accent. I listened to him reading his "Express Diaries" on Youtube and couldn't help but hear his character from Shadows by Gaslight (I wished you'd reappeared at some point during the campaign!).
