Send us a textThis week Kat is joined by Meghan, aka Sassy from Middle Green, to discuss the first half of Stephen King's On Writing. Stephen King gives us a rundown of his life framed around writing from his traumatic childhood through his late 90's adult self. The book surprised both with the amount of not writing in the beginning and this episode got a little long. Part 1 covers the Many Forwards and the CV while Part 2, which will be released Thursday, 9/19, will cover the actual writing advice we've received so far.Content warnings for this episode:Car accident, injury, injury detail, medical content, substance use, substance dependence, cursing, death of a parent, racial slurs, cancer, alcohol, vomit, medical trauma, blood, bullying, death, gore, mental illness, sexism, and terminal illnessSupport the showInstagram: @manyconstantworldsTwitch: manyconstantworldsTikTok: @manyconstantworldsPatreon: ManyConstantWorldsStorygraph: @manyconstantworldsEmail: manyconstantworlds@gmail.com

In Middle Green the dedicated players do no investigation, ask no questions, and immediately throw these dice in jail. This is one of those stories.Middle Green is preparing for Miss Betsy's Annual Murder Mystery Masquerade. Adults have costumes to finish and kids have to get all their summer day in before the party starts. The Winchester sisters are off to start by renting a couple movies for the night, but they come across the town bullies, Stanley and Wally, who are acting distinctly not themselves. But not to fear Lemon and Hearse are on the job! Trying to sort out just what had happened to the boys in the hours they'd gone missing by chatting with some locals gathering all the tea, sangria, and rumors.Opening Music: Cattle by TelecastedClosing Music: The Awakening by Patrick PatrikiosSupport the showInstagram: @manyconstantworldsTwitch: manyconstantworldsTikTok: @manyconstantworldsPatreon: ManyConstantWorldsStorygraph: @manyconstantworldsEmail: manyconstantworlds@gmail.com

Send us a textWe are playing Kids on Bikes, a collaborative TTRPG written and created by Jon Gilmour & Doug Levandowski and distributed by Hunters Entertainment.Content Warnings: negligent parents, bullying, sexual content, sexual content involving minors,  substance use, the supernatural, witches, zombies, the dead, death, the 80sIt's June 21st, 1985 and if there's one thing we've gathered from Stephen King its that young girls are powerful and terrifying.In this thrilling kick off to our Kid On Bikes playthrough, Taryn and Meghan are transported back to the neon-lit streets of the 1980s, where an eerie mystery unfolds beneath the summer moon. Well neon-lit is an exaggeration, those are the in the city, which Middle Green is not. The story kicks off in a small town nestled among tall pines, where the arrival of summer brings a sense of anticipation and excitement. However, this year, things take a turn for the weird when a local boy claims to have a chat with a dead girl. The Winchester twins can be described by the three Ws: weed, weird, and witches. As the town gathers for its summer kickoff concert at the local bowling alley, the town bullies are pestering anyone they can, not so funny class clown Tommy Lightbringer is bragging about chatting up a girl, and the Winchester twins are looking for the exit.Amidst the summer nights and chorus of crickets, the players' characters find themselves drawn into a curious mystery that will lead them to the old graveyard, but they must slink past all the adults first.Filled with intrigue and 80s nostalgia, this first Kids on Bikes session promises a hilarious reminder of how much it sucks to be 13.Opening Music: Cattle by TelecastedClosing Music: Summer of 1984 by RKVCSupport the showInstagram: @manyconstantworldsTwitch: manyconstantworldsTikTok: @manyconstantworldsPatreon: ManyConstantWorldsStorygraph: @manyconstantworldsEmail: manyconstantworlds@gmail.com
