Esteman has done a bunch of great stuff, but you might start with Te Alejas Más De Mí or Aeropuerto.

[RotSC Pg 38] This Is All Your Fault, Johnny Vegas [Week 2]

Fri, 20 Sep 2024 00:01:00 -0700

In which we discuss the dumbest thing about page 38 of Nights of Prophecy, which concludes the second arc of Return of the Succubus Club (the one about the Denver drug trade). Plus: your invitation into a truly strange bonus content rabbit hole about Sugar the stripper.

LINKS TO PROGRESSIVELY MORE SUGAR

To hear about Sugar getting naked, listen to Kris run MeganBob through character creation for Sugar the Stripper in “Sugar Rush Freebie Episode” by signing up for as little as $1/month at patreon.com/megadumbcast.

To hear Sugar (and MeganBob) get naked on mic, listen to MeganBob doing some strip roleplaying in Sugar’s actual play prelude, “The Embrace of Sugar” by signing up for the new $3+ tier on patreon.com/megadumbcast.

To see Sugar (as played by MeganBob) strip, buy the honest-to-God NSFW photoshoot that MeganBob posed for in-character as Sugar during the recording of the prelude, available at onlyfans.com/meganbob. It’s only $40! If you consider that you’re seeing BOTH Sugar and MeganBob topless, that’s a steal at $10 per tit.
