W02 E07- Steelhearts

In the sixth episode of the second season of Storysmiths, we tackle something that we've all been struggling with recently- isolation. But in typical Storysmiths fashion, rather than settle for something as simple as social distancing to combat a pandemic (as surreal as that sounds) we set up a world where people have been isolated in bunkers for ten years while an unknown war rages above. When they finally open their vault doors, they find that they have their own story of what happened over the last decade, as is the case with every other bunker that survived the war...

S02 E03- Takenoko- An Animated Short

On the second episode of season 2, Taleweaver @ClVlL2006 recommended that we build a story in a universe where only the villains of all IP's live. A world with villains running rampant and no superheroes to swoop in and save the day. What we end up with is a complex battle between order and chaos involving Lex Luthor, The Joker, The Kingpin, Red Skull, Jason Todd, The Punisher, and more. We need your help to finish up the ending of this story in the next episode.
