HELLO. I know i’ve been quiet on here but I am BACK to tell you about this incredible podcast called NEOSCUM!!!!!!!!!!! AND ENCOURAGE YOU TO LISTEN!!!!! IN A LONG ASS POST!!!! SORRY NOT SORRY!!!!!!!

NeoScum is an actualplay roleplaying podcast like The Adventure Zone or Critical Role, but instead of playing D&D, they play a cyberpunk system called Shadowrun, set in the future United States (mostly right now Midwest but edging into the west.) If you, like me, are Extremely Bad at Knowing Rules to RPGs, DON’T WORRY. Shadowrun involves a lot of number crunching but they do an incredible job of editing it out so it NEVER gets in the way of the story.

And OH WHAT A STORY. Do you love to laugh? NeoScum is fucking hilarious. I’ve fallen over laughing, choked on air, SCREAMED at different jokes. THEY KICK A MAN’S BALLS OFF IN THE VERY FIRST EPISODE AND IT JUST KEEPS GOING FROM THERE. I first described NeoScum as like “the it’s always sunny in philadelphia crew are vaguely competent and in a cyberpunk future” so y'know iT’S FUCKING HILARIOUS I PROMISE YOU

Do you like drama?? THIS SHOW HAS FUCKING DRAMA. It rocks, it rolls, it plucks, it fucks. I have cried while listening to the podcast, while thinking about it, just y’know…. I’VE CRIED A L O T WHILE LISTENING TO IT!!!! THESE BABIES GOT SOME T R A U M A and they’re WORKING ON IT (sorta) AND THEIR GROWTH IS INCREDIBLE AND SO SO IMPORTANT TO ME!!!!!! AND I LOVE THEM AND IM CRYING AGAIN THINKING ABOUT IT!!!!!!

The storytelling is TIGHT. You get HIGHS AND LOWS, often in the same episode, often literally one second after one another. It’s a STORYTELLING ROLLERCOASTER. IT’S A RIDE. Do you like DEEPLY FALLING FOR NPCS???? They have the BEST INTERACTIONS WITH NPCS. THE BEST. You think they’ve got great npcs on your fave podcast and you’re right they’re cool but THE NPCS ON NEOSCUM ARE INCREDIBLE. THEY HAVE LIVES OF THEIR OWN. BEANS IS……. a spoiler maybe but you’ll learn real fast what’s up with Beans.



Also, do you enjoy great editing? They have the BEST EDITOR IN THE GAME. SERIOUSLY. The editing in this show rewired my brain, changed my life, cleared my skin, watered my crops, fed my children. It’s the best editing in the game, hands down. Like you think I’m exaggerating and I’m fucking not, I’m 100% serious about the editing in this show. It absolutely beautifully enriches the story and is unlike anything else I s2g. It’s incredible, INCREDIBLE!

I cannot stress enough y'all. This podcast is such a gift and has helped me get through the rough end of 2017 and it’s only going to get BETTER because you can FEEL THE STORY GOING THERE. AND!!!!!!! Right now there are only TWENTY ONE narrative episodes!!!!!!!! YOU CAN CATCH UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLUS there’s an incredible community and everyone on the podcast is hilarious and generous as fuck and kind as hell. I’ve made a lot of great friends in the past few months and I’m so grateful!!!!!! So COME ON AND LISTEN AND JOIN IN THE FUN PLEASE!!!!!!



THIS PODCAST IS INCREDIBLE AND YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE *YOU* DESERVE THIS GREATNESS IN YOUR EARS AND IN YOUR LIFE. I’M OUT Y'ALL.
