Eidolon GABE
Eidolon GABE was an announced four-episode mini-campaign from DISCO #1: September, Part 1 that acted as an incentive for Eidolon Playtest to reach the top 1000 podcasts on Patreon by the end of 2022. The goal was not met, so the mini-campaign was never released.

If the goal was met, Luke Varner was going to select four random patrons and ask them to name a media property. He would then create a one-page TTRPG inspired by that media property. Eidolon GABE would feature Gabriel-Bede from Eidolon POP running a one-shot session of each of those games for various player characters across Eidolon POP and Eidolon ROCK.
