Art Smitten - Wednesday - S1 | E1

Our next instalment of SYNarios takes us to the stars, as Marcy invites Tom, Connor and Viv in a spaceship that's bound towards a new world (if you're wondering what it's name is, it's [REDACTED]). On the spaceship, introverted but levelheaded owl scientist Telos (played by Tom) and TV talk show host and Broadway wannabe Paulie Peacock (played by Viv), must survive a one-way trip to a new world, with the cruel and evil Ms. Trunchbull knockoff Fania (played by Connor). Will everyone make it alive to the new world? Are there stowaways hiding under our crews' noses/beaks? Is there a couch with real Italian leather stuck somewhere on the spaceship? Find out right now in this exciting new (and third) instalment of SYNarios! SYNarios is a Dungeons and Dragons, Choose Your Own Adventure blend of fun storytelling and roleplaying mayhem, without all the complicated mechanics tabletop role playing games like D and D usually have. Each SYNario has a different scenario, and different characters, but choices within each SYNario are at the mercy of probability (aka a 20 sided D20 die). Expect lots of fun, and whimsical chaos, as each player improv their way through each SYNario, bouncing off each other, the Game Master (GM), and the scenario itself! Originally broadcast on Sunday 8th December. Produced and edited by Marcy Di Bartolomeo

SYNarios 3: Voyage To Another World

In this second instalment of SYNarios on Art Smitten, Marcy takes Connor and Sharni, whose characters are an unholy fusion of Marvel's Wolverine and Devil May Cry's Dante (who is a wolf...also named Dante), and a young sword-swinging apprentice named Lana respectively, through a zombie apocalypse. Which quickly becomes a race against time, as Dante and Lana must find the cure to their newly acquired zombie infection, before they succumb to their infection, and become shambling corpses themselves.  SYNarios is a Dungeons and Dragons, Choose Your Own Adventure blend of fun storytelling and roleplaying mayhem, without all the complicated mechanics tabletop role playing games like D and D usually have. Each SYNario has a different scenario, and different characters, but choices within each SYNario are at the mercy of probability (aka a 20 sided D20 die). Expect lots of fun, and whimsical chaos, as each player improv their way through each SYNario, bouncing off each other, the Game Master (GM), and the scenario itself! Originally broadcast on Sunday November 17th. Produced and edited by Marcy Di Bartolomeo.

SYNarios 2: A Good Old Zombie Apocalypse

Marcy plays a new game with Connor and Sharni they conceived when wanting to make roleplaying games more accessible for everyone, SYNarios! In this first instalment, Darling Dashingwood the complete trickster of a bard (played by Connor) and Snuffles, the talking chess-playing dog (played by Sharni) must go into a supermarket, to purchase an whole assortment of things: milk, cookies, bread, and of course, chewing gum. And of course, chaos ensues from there.  SYNarios is a Dungeons and Dragons, Choose Your Own Adventure blend of fun storytelling and roleplaying mayhem, without all of the complicated mechanics tabletop role playing games like DnD usually have. Each SYNario has a different scenario, and different characters, but choices within each SYNario are at the mercy of probability (aka a 20 sided D20 die).
