Their first campaign, "Menagerie of Fate" aka:mof is centered around Eas (an arms smuggler) played by Kat, Deacon (a vampiric priest) played by Grant, and Caillan (A humanoid tree peacekeeper) played by Lyra. These three are bonded by the discovery that each one of them is bound to an eldritch animal who keeps teleporting them half a continent away for adventures in haunted houses, floating cities, and giant glass squids.

"Perpetual Players" is a bi-weekly actual play {{web video series}} show by four friends who are looking to tell some stories together. They use the "Perpetual Motion Roleplaying Engine", a system designed and sold by the group’s GM Christian, they have announced that they will be exploring other systems like Monsterhearts, and the Cypher system for side games and one-shots when they need a break from their main plotline.

They started out testing GM Christian's RPG system the "Perpetual Motion Engine", later renamed to "Perpetual Motion Roleplaying Engine", A d100-based crunch-heavy system he made from scratch in college. Since the rules are still very much in beta Christian watches certain mechanics break in real-time and talks through a patch for it with the players as they play. They also release occasional how to play streams with Christian explaining some of the things PM does differently from other RPG systems.
