Eidolon Playtest is two different actual-play RPG campaigns, releasing every Monday on alternating weeks! The goal of this podcast is to playtest EIDOLON: Become Your Best Self, an RPG inspired by Persona and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, created by Luke Varner and Molly Rhinebeck!
EIDOLON POP is a story of a group of college students uncovering the secret, surreal past of their professor, while EIDOLON ROCK is a story of a gang of low-level Las Vegas criminals who stumble up on a drug that grants you superpowers. Check out our Patreon at patreon.com/eidolonplaytest for early episodes, GM notes, behind-the-scenes game design episodes, and early access to the gamebook!

Hey there everyone! We released two main-feed episodes last week, which means we've got a hole in our release schedule that we gotta fill! This week, we're releasing the first episode of Eidolon Playlist for everyone to listen to! If you like hearing us yell at each other about Hot Fuss, then consider subscribing to our patreon at the $3 tier or higher to hear more episodes of the Eidolon Playlist bonus podcast!
Wait, two episodes in one day?? THAT'S RIGHT, WELCOME TO SEASON 3! This time, Luke sits down with Molly, Zoe, Maxie, Lexi and Crystal to talk through their characters for Eidolon SKA... which they've had basically figured out since nearly this time last year.
SEASON 3 IS HERE, BABY. Luke sits down with Fabby, Mike, Iris and Ty to talk a little more in-depth about the premise of Eidolon DISCO and sketch out the player characters. K.C., Bob, Haley and Maurice have been out road-tripping all summer long, solving mysteries and having teen feelings with each other. We also get into some of the boundaries and ground rules we're establishing regarding the setting. We're super excited to get this show on the road!
