I installed a box high up on a pole somewhere in the Mission. Inside is a crappy Android phone, set to Shazam constantly, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It's solar powered, and the mic is pointed down at the street below walzr.com/bop-spotter

This one is not really a #ttrpg but still, it looks and feels so unique to play! It is a game of collaborative storytelling horror, and it manages to create such a cool atmosphere when playing! @raphdamico
