Poplar Kids is a Kids On Bikes actual play podcast that takes place in the fictional Eastern Kentucky town of Poplar. Our GM is Andy (@Andylion92). Our players are Thomas (@DorkseidVO) as Jackson "Fox" Skuggs, Evan (@Namesequipped) as Pat Benson, Casey (@Childofginevra) as Stevie Davis, and Nick (@chainsawombat) as Eddy Brier.
Our between-season special episode continues, as the kids come face-to-face with The Gamemaster, until he takes a different, but very familiar, face. Stevie takes a hit. Taylor plays with sharp objects. Eddy plays some tricks. Pat takes it up a notch. Can the kids save Fox from the hands of The Gamemaster before it's too late?
Our audio quality is a bit rough in this one, but stick through it. We did our best to piece together the audio in a good way through a LOT of technical difficulties.
