    OUR RULES
    Our system is simple. Characters have 17 skills, each starting at 20% (a basic human-level chance to succeed).
    Players get 10 "pips" which they can assign to boost skills of their choosing. Each pip adds +20% to their window of success, with a maximum of 3 additional PIPs per skill (success window is capped at 80%).
    To do something, players roll a d100. If they roll equal to or under their skill level, they succeed.

    DISCLAIMERS
    All characters, events, and organisations in The Bad Articles are entirely fictional.
    No AI has been used in the creation of the show.

    CONTENT WARNINGS
    Death, violence, language, mild horror elements and light gore SFX.
    Listener discretion is advised, especially for those sensitive to depictions or sounds of injury (misophonia).

    The Forever Wake (Part 3)

    Our agents begin investigating the wake of Mickey 'The Mackerel' Mulchrone. Wait, did I say that already? Hmmm. Maybe there is something supernatural going on, after all? They head to the basement, to find out more. And hopefully Dolan's stopped gaslighting an oul' man.

    The Forever Wake (Part 2)

About The Bad Articles

A supernatural comedy audio drama, following the chaotic and absurd investigations of the Official Supernatural Neutralisation Agency (O.S.N.A.) as they attempt to stop otherworldly threats across 1990's Ireland. A narrative experience that weaves together improvised comedy, tabletop roleplaying and rich sound design.This is a silly and irreverent love-letter to collaborative story telling, Irish folklore and 90's nostalgia, with each Article being a standalone investigation into supernatural phenomena, typically split into 3-5 episodes.A narrative actual play utilising our custom-built TTPRG system that blends the ethereal magic of improv with the narrative satisfaction of dice rolls.Produced by Felbryn Studios in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
