A home for the Untold Stories Project streaming network. Show information, cast bios, and blogs!

Greetings traveler and welcome to our little corner of the internet! Thank you for visiting the new central hub of the Untold Stories Project. This website is the next step in the evolution of our project and I am so excited that we can finally unveil it. We began USP just over a year ago and in that time we have accomplished a lot and learned even more. I wanted to take some time to introduce who we are, celebrate what we’ve done, and discuss some of our future plans.

So what is the Untold Stories Project? We are a group of gamers dedicated to bringing attention to the games and voices that don’t receive the attention they deserve. Games that don’t have millions of dollars for their marketing budget or a cast of voice actors with thousands of weekly viewers. We want the world to know that there are other ways to describe RPGs than “It’s like D&D but with superheroes.” We also want to showcase that the gaming community is diverse and has a place for everyone to play. Gaming is for everyone.

USP has done this in the past mostly in one way: by broadcasting a variety of systems weekly, either on Twitch or through our podcast. That has been a great foundation for the work we want to do. I’d like to acknowledge the triumphs of the last year below:

  • Seeing a number of great systems receive full seasons on our Twitch channel including: Mutants & Masterminds, Werewolf the Apocalypse, East Texas University, and Fallout Wasteland Warfare.
  • The first season of our podcast Something… Something… Dragons which has been a wonderful look at the joys of discovering tabletop RPGs with all of the emotions that go along with that experience. Aaron and the Rainbow Squad have been doing amazing work every week!
  • Our Monday One Shots in November and December which allowed us to show even more games and featured some guest GMs! We got to see Honey Heist, Alien the RPG, Fate, Star Wars FFG, and Blue Rose.
  • Running an official Gen Con livestream.
  • Having several of our team members interviewed on other channels and podcasts including Wisdom Check, Mutants and Masterminds Monday, and the Story Told podcast.
  • Reaching affiliate level on Twitch.
  • Opening our merch store.
  • Getting our own DrivethruRPG Affiliate link.
  • Producing episodes of Story Forge for YouTube to showcase character creation for a number of systems.

I’m incredibly proud of all the hard work the team has put in this year, and I am so grateful to those of you who have supported us along the way. This work has given us a great base to build from, and we have some intense building going on.

Here are just a few of the things to look forward to in the coming year.

  • This website! You’ll be able to learn anything you could want to know about what we’re up to or what is coming next by joining our mailing list below. We won’t blow up your inbox or anything, but this will be the place we post our announcements first. This can be announcing new shows, new blog posts, auditions for players and GMs, contests, and just anything that we need to let you know about.
  • Our blog! Our team has been hard at work producing all kinds of content for this blog and in the future we will open the doors for guest bloggers to post articles as well. We’re going to cover all aspects of the RPG experience here, and our intention is to release at least one post a week.
  • New shows! We have all new content releasing including our Tuesday night Blue Rose game and our Wednesday night Monster of the Week game. Netherwar will continue for a while longer on Monday nights.
  • Contests! We are going to be hosting some competitions with prizes for our community. We’ll have more information on the specifics soon, but keep your eye here on this space.
  • USP RPG supplements! We will be producing some of our own content including adventures, monster statblocks, maps, anything else we can think of. We’ll let you know more soon.
  • Conventions! We will be present at a few in-person conventions this year, running panels and adventures for con-goers. We’d love to see you in person at either Origins or U-Con 2021.

That is sort of the state of USP right now. Thank you once again for your continued support this past year. I am so excited for the year ahead! Take a look around the site while you’re here. Sign up for the mailing list. Most of all, happy gaming and we will see you soon!
