Fun City is a fully sound designed and scored, narrative-driven actual play TTRPG podcast set in a futuristic New York City, where magic is real and the rent is still too damn high. The audience accompanies smooth talker Luxe, ork-jock Lash, mysterious retired boxer with a robot arm TK and everyone’s favorite water-witch elf aunt Vivian as they contract with the criminal underground and corporate overlords of NYC in 2101.
The team navigates The Brooklyn Archipelago, Rebuilt Manhattan and the moral grey area they occupy as longtime friends and flat-mates working as professional criminals, catering to multiple bosses whose aims are sometimes mutually exclusive, all while trying to maintain their principles in a world where those are often readily sold to the highest bidder.
I play Vivian Lakewood, a 145-year-old water elemental who loves knolling her seashells on her houseboat Mirage. After many years as a corporate mage on the West Coast, she turns to a life of crime in the Big Apple. She summons creatures, big and small, hilarious, but powerful. Follow along as she gets shot at in every episode. To support the podcast, join the Fun City Patreon to get bonus content.

“Fun City has the staples of any great actual play podcast between its memorable characters, hilarious table talk, and high stakes left largely to chance. But it also feels squarely at home in audio fiction as a medium, building a world that sounds as real as the social commentary it doles out in each episode.” - Wil Williams for Polygon
“With a tone that balances biting social satire with a certain kindness and wonder — blending fantasy, cyberpunk, science fiction, and comedy — “Fun City” frankly reckons with the difficulty of doing the right thing in a world structured to make that feel like a bad decision.” - Molly Cutler for The Daily Princetonian
“Fun City is a riveting riot of adventure” - Elena Fernández Collins for Simplecast
“The dual game master system is inspired, with one GM, Mike Rugnetta, focused on world building and general GM business while having a second person, Taylor Moore, play any major villains or other NPCs, keeping the show dynamic and riveting.” - Discover Pods
