     Season One 
  • Episode 0: Worldbuilding: A Fishconal Alaskanadian Town
    • Nigel, Thony and Casey collaboratively create the small town of Spencer's Folly, Alaskanadia, and some features of the town including the Parental Township Authority and the Benevolent Order of Beavers. They also create rumors that float about town and may or may not be true, such as:
      • When the streetlights come on, an only ambiguously-human killer emerges and takes anyone who hasn't taken shelter indoors or at another well-lit location, such as the Spencer's Folly Multiplex. The killer is said to make an unearthly clicking sound and follow the path of the streetlights as they turn on.
      • The soda jerk at the Four Corners is a vampire, which is why he's always there.
      • The ghost of a lumberjack who died when the mill burned down still roams the town, looking for his lost axe.
      • All the schools in the town are built on the opposite side of town as the Deep Woods, because something in them called to the children and lured them in, never to be seen again.
      • The town council has installed a Mad Furniture Scientist on an island in Lake Goosepond (not Goosepond Lake, which is a mountain) to help them capitalize on the properties of the rare moosewood trees native to the area.
      • A ticket-taker at the multiplex who wears Sex Pistols t-shirts will let you into R-rated movies if you slip him a fiver, but the dude who wears velvet Underground shirts is a friggin' narc.

  • Episode 0: Character Building: The Pizza-Rat Of Twentywhateverteen
    • The players create their characters, Eddie "Oddie" Oddwards and Kitt Russell, Junior Lawman, and explore their history, each adding to the other's story.

  • Chapter 1: This Is Public Science Now
    • Carly Figueroa, Oddie's science-project partner, is lured into the forest in the dead of night, and is not seen again thereafter. Oddie is questioned by the principal, he and Kitt look for clues at the Four Corners and arrive at Carly's house, but learn nothing from her father and his strangely-similar brother. They follow another clue-trail to the movies, where Kitt had overheard that a meeting was transpiring. Kitt and Oddie do some science with a lump of volcano-clay.

  • Chapter 2: Hot For Justice
    • The boys investigate the meetup at the multiplex and narrowly avoid the Streetlight Killer; they learn that an event is taking place later that night in Towne Centre and that it's apparently serious enough business to threaten one teen who tried to back out. Oddie gets his highest score ever at Ms. Pac-Man.

  • Chapter 3: 45 Minutes Before Midnight
    • The boys have a gear-up montage and meet up with Katt at The Stationhouse, then head to Towne Centre to see what all the youths are so afraid to miss. Katt gets a new hairstyle and it works for him.

  • Chapter 4: The Ass Word
    • A cult of robéd teens perform an elaborate ritual to cleanse Spencer's Folly of the evil that took Carly Figueroa while the boys observe from a rooftop perch. Oddie invents the Dinkie, a snack sensation that will earn him millions when he sells them to Little Debbie but elects to take a percentage of sales in perpetuity instead of a lump sum.

  • Chapter 5: King Narc
    • Kitt, sleep deprived and grouchy, discovers that openly disrespecting authority is the quickest route to a lead on the information you need, and Oddie goes into the woods.
