TTS Ep 12 - Kingdom Death: Monster

Hey Everybody, meet Tom! Also, we're talking Kingdom Death, the gory, desolate, smutty game that grabbed us by the throat during lockdown... no one? just me? anyway here's episode 12 of The Top Shelf

TTS Ep 11 - The Magnus Archives

The Top Shelf is back! Joey and Alex are here to talk about Monty Cook Games' The Magnus Archives RPG.

Deep Cuts Ep4

Episode #5 update

Hello Everyone! Just a heads up that we are airing episode 5 on May 16th, but we wont leave you hanging for a month. May 2nd will have a cast talkback of episodes 1-4 with questions sourced from Patreon (that's you!)

Episode #4 VOD

VOD for episode 4 is here

Thumbnail sneak peak

Episode #4 is coming this friday!

No TTS this week

Once again, there is no Top Shelf podcast this week. We've gotten a little behind on it, but for good reason. We are Deep in the bowels of shooting the next chunk of episodes of Private Nightmares.

The Top Shelf will resume next week at its regularly scheduled time.

Crew Highlight

Gotta give a big shout out to the crew who've worked on all the episodes of Private Nightmares so far.

Picture #1 Phesjiah Stewart - one of our camera operators running two cameras at once.

Picture #2 Joey Rassool and Tom Mannino - Tom's notes have saved us many times in keeping things consistent and creating the discord c...

Q&A for the cast

We are recording a q&a tonight, so get your questions in down below.

TTS Episode 10

This week we have the Director of Dimension 20 and Desiquest, Michael Schaubach! Directing actual plays is it's own little weird niche in the world and Schaubach is here to great it down with Joey and Alex.

Special Tongue BTS

Not many moments were cut from this recent episode, we kinda let it all ride this time, but here's one of my favorite bits off the cutting room floor.

Episode 3 VOD

Hello Friends! episode 3 is here! there were some minor audio hiccups in the stream about 30min after the break, but the public VOD on Monday will be issue free. until then enjoy the DMV shenanigans and religious trauma of ep 3 right here.

Jade Feeds

Just a quick bts shot of Jade (Gina DeVivo) feeding at the edge of the stage in episode 2. I think this was one of the first scenes that really encouraged players to explore the space.

Thumbnail Sneak Peak

just to give you an idea of what's coming up this Friday.

Things from the hard drive

Hello everyone,

Joey here! Because I've worked on this series of shows in some capacity ever since LA by Night se1, my hard drives happen to have a few behind the scenes goodies. here's a grab bag of stuff from the LA and NY days

TTS Episode 9

Alex and Joey are joined by Luis Carazo to try and talk about Candela Obscura, but mostly just end up chatting about acting, DMing, and storycraft.

No TTS this week

The Top Shelf is taking a break this week, but we've got more episodes coming soon with games like Candela Obscura, Kingdom Death, the Magnus archives RPG, and Blackbirds.

Got any suggestions for systems and content you want us to dive into?

Deep Cuts: Ep2

[spoilers] gonna try and put these together for every episode going forward, but here are some of the things that hit the cutting room floor from episode 2. We don't cut out much (some episodes nothing at all), so Deep Cuts will happen when it happens, but for now here's a between the scenes look at episode 2

Ep2 VOD

Sorry for the late post everyone. I, Joey, was on a backpacking trip this weekend and the Patreon authentication was tied to my phone. Alex and Tom were trying to find solutions I swear (and they might have done already, I haven't gotten the update, I'm still on the road back). But anyway, here is the link! Sorry again

TTS Episode 8

This Week Alex and Joey are joined by Jasmine Bhullar to talk about Mork Borg

Discord is here!

You should all be receiving an invite to Robert's Car Wash. yes that's us. we'll be filling the discord out as episodes land but the basic idea is that you'll be able to see character interactions, and react to them (though the characters can't see the reactions... just go with it).

we'll be interested to see what we can do with this as t...

Security Cam POV

We must protect our sweet baby girl!

Another bts clip

Just the things said between the scenes. Mayanna did sort of jinx everything though

Q&A questions

Hey everybody! I know we're only one episode in, but I'm sure there are already questions floating around. Post here if you have any questions specifically for Alex about Private Nightmares, how it's run, the lore, and what to expect in the future.

After a few more episodes we will do a q&A with the whole coterie

TTS Episode 7

This week The Top Shelf features not only Mayanna Berrin but also Mischa Stanton creator of The Wandering Path. The Wandering Path is a ttrpg podcast that uses many of the elements from the Mage Hand Press 5e expansion book Valda's Spire of Secrets.

Just a little clip from between the scenes

VOD exclusivity period

Hey everyone, thanks again so much for being with us on this journey to finally launching our first episode!

We are still toying with exactly how we upload VODs and live streams in a way that makes most sense for the show but also rewards our most dedicated supporters (that's you btw).

Our original plan was to hold off on the YouTub...

Episode #1: Listen to the Night [updated link]

First VOD is here! Thank you so much to everyone who was able to join in live.
