RPG Major: Actual Play Supernatural Mystery & Improvised Musical Theater

RPG Major, the award-winning Musical Actual Play: telling stories of kindness and bravery in a world full of darkness. Welcome to Foxglove, a modern city where cryptids chill in coffee shops and cases land on the desk of two unlikely private eyes: Mara, Scion of Sirens, and Aubrey, a Former Fairy Queen. Every investigation unfolds as an improvised musical and every episode brings brand new songs. Some are goofy, and some might just bring you to tears. It's played in the Genesys, but fans of systems like Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), Pathfinder, Monster of the Week, and other systems will find a lot to love. Expect liberal laughs, painful puns, songs that slap, and mysteries that keep you guessing until the final note. New episodes weekly. Gamers and musical theater lovers welcome. RSSVERIFY

Welcome to Foxglove

Foxglove: glittering city by the sea, bastion of modernity and progress. A million people live ordinary lives here, not knowing that their neighbors include cryptids and creatures from myth. If you stumble into a supernatural mystery here, the best team to call are the Singing Sherlocks, the Do-Re-Mi Detectives, the Crooning Columbos: Mara and Aubrey.

 

 

Listen to the Trailer

In this show, a group of private investigators solve supernatural mysteries by rolling dice and singing songs. Inspired by shows like Worlds Beyond Number, Dimension 20, and Campaign from the One Shot network, this show stars comedians who are serious about telling good stories.

Give it a listen: you’re going to laugh, you’re going to be charmed by the characters, you’re going to be amazed by the music, all of which is made up on the spot with the help of a live accompanist, you’re going to wonder ”do they really improvise the songs?” as they’re pulling at your heartstrings, and then you’ll laugh again as you solve the mysteries alongside the characters.

Where to start?

The best on-ramps are:

Episode 1 - Meet the characters & solve some mysteries!

Episode 12 - Where Season 1 really gets cooking! 

Episode 27 - The start of a 4-episode side-story that stands alone.
