Shades of Chicago – A Let’s Play with The Fourth Leg

Back in 2022, I met and befriended some great folks in the TTRPG sphere on Twitter (back before I left the platform), and we made a podcast called The Fourth Leg. We started the podcast to “give GMs a leg to stand on!” It was intended as a resource for new game masters, and then we grew to have let’s plays of various RPGs.

One of them was Urban Shadows, an RPG that allowed players to play as vampires, ghosts, monster hunters, and other creatures in an urban fantasy setting. In this setting, we played a campaign called Shades of Chicago.

The cast included:

  • Joe Dunn as DM
  • Sabrina Rau as Lulu the Spectre
  • Hunter Anderson as Jain the Dragon
  • Joe Fraioli as Jesse the Tainted
  • and me as Archie the Vamp

ArtSnacks is Deliciously Awesome

For my birthday this year, my Grammy (who is one of the most interesting people I know and I could tell stories about her for days) said she would help cover two subscriptions for me. I just had to tell her which ones I wanted.

I knew my answer straight away. 1. A subscription to The Artist’s Magazine (which I’ll talk about in a future post) and 2. A subscription to ArtSnacks.

Now, ArtSnacks is NOT paying me to write this. They didn’t ask me to write this, either. I’m just writing this to tell you about the service…

Because it’s deliciously awesome. Continue reading “ArtSnacks is Deliciously Awesome”
