Mage Hand High Five is a multi-award winning, queer-led Actual Play adventure podcast. Join our nationwide gang of actors from Seattle to NYC as they delve into genres (and game systems) not normally explored in tabletop gaming.
Our first major campaign, “The Badlands,” is a fantasy western epic about a trio of outlaws searching for family and the nature of magic as they rebel against capitalist warmongers across a ravaged frontier. We’ve also had multiple smaller adventures using a range of indie systems, from the horror pastiche “Terror at Camp Craven” to the CRIT Award-nominated “Welcome to the Silly Goose Convention.”
