The cadre’s path leads them deeper into Sonder, where they finally stand before Aster Guios, the traitor king himself. But they are not alone.

We’re on the border between summer and fall and we’ve got some incredible games to play…
Doomed to Repeat
We conclude the tragic saga of our Innsmouth investigators in Episode 37, “The Horror of Innsmouth”, and Episode 38, “Escape from Innsmouth”. Please note: we’ve shifted our release schedule by one week (now dropping August 15th and 29th) to accommodate Eli’s run of Inevitable.
Only two episodes remain after this month—Episodes 39 and 40—so savor these final moments. We certainly did when we recorded them nearly a year ago. It’s been one hell of a journey, and we’re deeply grateful for your support through the years as we approach the culmination of this campaign.
Heroes of the Doom
The first episode of our doomed Arthurian western is out and we had a blast! You catch the VOD on YouTube and the audio version wherever you harvest your podcasts. Remember, we’ll stream live alternating Saturdays on YouTube and Twitch at 11am PT. Our next session is planned for August 9th so be sure to join us in the chat.
Mayday Merch
If you’ve been looking for a little hit of dopamine, we’ve got some MDRP goodies to keep you company. Our mug and character stickers are still available through our Printify shop, and you can find the Mayday logo sticker and Perennial Airlines t-shirt through our Ko-Fi.
August Sticker Drop
The G alarm has been sounded. Godzilla has been spotted. And the only way to stop him is with big monsters of our own! Handler level patrons can look forward to receiving Big Brain, the flying squid mecha of G Force. If you’d like a monthly MDRP sticker delivered to your door along with other exciting behind the scenes content, check out our Patreon.

The end may be inevitable, but the way forward is theirs to forge.

Doomed to Repeat
Innsmouth has not been kind to our team, and the folks in 2020 aren’t faring any better. Catch up with Perennial in Episode 34, “Mayday” before we dive back into Innsmouth to finish that story beginning with Episode 35, “One Night in Innsmouth." Don't worry, Perennial's story will also get resolved in this final arc. These final episodes are all very close to our hearts, and we’re so excited to share them with you.
Heroes of the Doom
If you’ve been craving Arthurian Westerns full of honor, glory, and the end of the world, then this is the show for you. If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, check it out here, and saddle up! Eli is taking over the table to run the central Mayday cast through SoulMuppet Publishing’s Inevitable TTRPG. We’ll follow five cowboy-knights, each in a different stage of grief, as they struggle to avert the end of the world and its impending Doom.
Pride One-Shot
We feel so excited to have gotten to do a charity one-shot this Pride month, benefiting the Black Trans Travel Fund. Fireball Festival, A Thirsty Sword Lesbians Charity One-Shot was an absolute blast, thanks, in no small part, to all the hard work and love Zak and Amanda kneaded into it. Incredibly, we were able to raise over $300 to donate to them. We are so deeply thankful to be a part of a community that is willing to support their community. Thank you for your generosity!

Working Group MASTICATE navigates the fallout of their confrontation at Charlotte's Rest Veterans Home. Conflicting narratives are provided to Pitzerelli, who makes it clear their targets are to be neutralized by any means necessary. The team makes their way south to North Carolina, where they bed down for the evening to work through their next steps and burgeoning trust issues.

Join Sergio on a tour through Rivenwake—the land of divergent currents. Rivenwake is an original Wildsea reach, where colossal ironroot currents crash like rivers, your word is your worth, and memories can be traded like coin. In this video, Sergio breaks down the lore, geography, and strange economies that make Rivenwake unlike any other part of the Wildsea.
Expect a deep dive into the worldbuilding behind key settlements like Red Crown, Emerald Window, Spindrift, Rem Reef, and Echo Basin. Learn about the key factions, theocracies, memory-harvesting coral, whisper-trading cults, and vertical gambling dens—all designed to inspire Mayday to record a memorable actual-play.
Patrons are currently exploring this reach in an ongoing Discord campaign, and it will soon become the setting for the next fully produced actual play series featuring the cast of Mayday.
📜 Coming soon: A free PDF supplement with all the lore discussed in this video, perfect for running your own Rivenwake stories at the table.
