Announcing "Exquisite Corpse," a New AP from 1000 Years on the Path
Dark City meets Disco Elysium meets Ask a Manager meets Pathfinder 2e.
The corpse of a forgotten god has been rounded into a world. On that world is a sea of gray, and across that sea floats a monument of bone on which a city grows. That city is Lachryma Cultch. Its homes are carved from bone and flesh, its streets shift and change with the churn of the water below, and its eelrats grow fat on secrets.
New podcast venture 1000 Years on the Path presents "Exquisite Corpse," a pre-recorded Pathfinder 2nd Edition level 1-10 actual-play that's part magitech-noir, part surrealist horror, and part exploration of the interconnectedness of everything – with a side of commitment to any available bit. The first season will play out in weekly episodes (60-90min long) over the course of a year.
Join the hapless but only sometimes harmless detectives of Ichabod's Eyes Investigations as they try to see the picture in their ever-expanding pile of clues and close the case on this living (dead) world where every answer leads to more questions, every choice ripples out beyond the limits of vision, and every Eye must decide how to be a person in the face of it all.
“Exquisite Corpse” features a generation-spanning cast of queer leftist weirdos, led by Brendan (he/him) as the man behind the corpse. The rest of the table is:
- Chen (she/her) as the straight-talking, sharpshooting keeper of the brain cell,
- Will (he/him) as a depressed cleric(al) moth and recovering pirate captain,
- Sam (she/her) as the reluctant reincarnation of not!Prince or not!David Bowie,
- Jeff (they/them) as the self-appointed greatest detective in the world,
- and Hannah (they/them) as a totally normal guy who is definitely your boss.
Check out the trailer, interview the detectives, and visit the agency starting July 22nd at 1000 Years on the Path (Tumblr) or a podcatcher near you. The first three episodes will drop on Monday, July 28, with weekly releases thereafter.
