Season one is a deranged and epic mystery in a fictional Small Town à la Twin Peaks meets the X Files. Season two is an apocalyptic quest set on the oceans of a dying realm. The third season is a dystopian nightmare about science gone wrong. In the fourth season the heroes struggle to coexist with the world's first sentient artificial intelligence. The fifth season is a historical horror western pilgrimage through the frozen heart of greed and evil. The current sixth season introduces agents infiltrating a decadent and deranged end of the world party.
While the settings and game styles expand, an expansive shared continuity is developed. Playing With Madness is not only about the games and the improvised story, it is about the players.
