Main Topic: Atomic Horror

Since the dawn of the atomic age in the 1940s, our fear of atom bombs and radioactivity has mutated horror in all sorts of strange ways. But is this purely an artefact of the Cold War? What are some of the most striking ways we’ve seen atomic horror used in media? And what happens when we irradiate our own games?

Patreon Changes

Patreon has announced that they are discontinuing the option for creators to charge per creation (per episode, in our case). This is the model we have always used, as it was the only option available when we started. Instead, we now have switch to a monthly subscription.

We are also taking this opportunity to change from US dollars to British Pounds, as, again, this wasn’t an option when we started.

From September 2026, our three basic tiers will be £3, £6 and £10 per month, replacing the old $1, $3 and $5 per-episode tiers. Higher tiers will simply be double the current cost, but in Pounds. This works out as roughly the same cost. The rewards for each tier will also stay the same.

This change additionally allows us to enable annual subscriptions, although we are still looking into these. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please let us know.
