"If you're not careful and no-clip out if reality in wrong areas, you'll end up in the backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, and endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in. God save you if hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you…" These words describe the Backrooms, a terrifying maze that has captured the imagination of creepypasta and horror fans all over the internet. Al and Chad discuss ways to run a role playing game campaign in this mysterious place. Want to contact us? Email poigamestudio@gmail.com

The world of music can be a strange place. Some bands manage to achieve worldwide fame and become household names. Other acts are so lackluster you wonder how they managed to get signed in the first place. Sadly, not every talented group of musicians manages to achieve the recognition they deserve and are only known to a select few. These are the bands we'll be talking about today. You might not have heard of some of these bands and that okay because we'll be discussing local and obscure bands. ***WE USE MUSIC UNDER FAIR USE POLICY***
