The Meatgrinder: An Actual Play Limited Series

The Meatgrinder is an anthology actual play podcast where everyone dies… a lot. Three players at a time enter fantastical worlds, and every time a character dies they cycle out, and a new player joins the party. Each season runs approximately nine episodes, and is a self contained story.



The Meatgrinder uses the “Super Awesome Action Heroes” role playing system, and its continuity is directly connected to the Nerd & Tie podcast Stormwood & Associates.
