EAST HAVEN HEIGHTS— Living in the birthplace of the American superhero, having powers is a lot of pressure. As three young heroes strike out on their own, they'll have to balance figuring out who they want to be with the ever-changing burden of who everyone else thinks they should be. THE UNEXPLORED PLACES is an actual play podcast about exploring weird worlds and making bold choices. We are currently playing Masks: A New Generation by Brendan Conway.
