Sagas of Sundry: Dread

Fandom/Canon Name: Sagas of Sundry: Dread

What's awesome about it: 80s nostalgia. Snarky teens. Canon, on screen, explicitly stated queerness. Adorable cast. Creepy Storyteller. Creepy setting. Creepy everything. Using the Dread game mechanics, this series started as a one-shot RPG for International Table Top Day (ITTD), which then expanded into a short series. The total runtime of canon is around six hours all up and is a rollercoaster of All The Feels. The characters are compelling, the storyline is creepy as fuck, and you'll never look at Jenga towers the same way again.

Longtime friends Sat, Kayden, Darby, Raina, and Tanner are finally free of high school, and decide to take a fun camping trip in the woods on Black Mountain. Dread being a horror RPG, it does not go as planned.

Where to find: The ITTD episode is available on YouTube here. It's two and a quarter hours long and is a complete story in itself.

If you like that and want more, the following six-episode series is available on Project Alpha. It's a year later, and the group reunite to return to the mountain. Project Alpha is a paid site, however there's a 30 day free trial membership available, it's $4.99USD a month thereafter, and because there are only six episodes at roughly 40 minutes each, you can marathon all the Sagas of Sundry: Dread content in a day. Multiple times if you want to!
