Stray Gods is an amateur detective story and one where the heroine sleuth has godlike powers that can force people to speak the truth. It is here that Grace is given seven days to prove her innocence or be killed. With Calliope’s soul now inside her, Grace meets the Chorus consisting of Athena, Apollo, Persephone, and Aphrodite, and is accused of killing Calliope, the last Muse. In this quick moment, Calliope’s sparkling soul known as an eidolon is passed to Grace. After this encounter, Grace goes home only to find Calliope bleeding out on her floor. It is in this vulnerable moment that she meets Calliope, who is entranced by her voice and auditions on the spot. Not having much luck, Freddie leaves Grace alone in the community center, where she pours her heart out in a beautiful musical number about being like a boat lost at sea. Players are introduced to Grace and her friend Freddie who are looking for new members for their band. Summerfall Studios’ Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical is unlike any other experience I have ever had playing an RPG, and it offers a unique perspective that, while not perfect, is highly original. Never in my wildest dreams would I ever thought of combining a musical with a choose-your-own-adventure roleplaying game, but wilder things have happened. From seeing Spamalot and Avenue Q live to prepping my evening with Hadestown, musicals encompass two things I love - music and storytelling. In 2023, I recaptured my love of musicals.
