In which harsh pragmatism ensues. The poorly-drawn map proves the biggest challenge of this level, but we eventually work out where we can move. The Silver Ravens say "Nope" to regeneration and to ridiculously excessive DCs. We play with a doggie, and have a nice read by the river. I'm somewhat uncomfortable with The Lout in this part of the advent…

You thought paper cuts were the worst that could happen? Our attempt to find the secrets hidden under the Phantasmagorium runs into problems, as an obstinate book bars the way (a great betrayal, for Zim at least). That's basically it. Part 28 of the campaign is now up on Archive.org at Episode 028: Back away from the door, book boy Direct Links RSS…

Neither mummified apes, nor poisonous spiders, nor almost total inability to hurt anything, will stay these messengers about their duty. Creative solutions abound. We debate the rules for readied actions. That damned spiritual weapon gets its comeuppance. Obviously evil statues are obviously evil. Part 27 of the campaign is now up on Archive.org at…

"For a gunslinger sitting in a tank of water might not be optimal." - sage advice from Zimgallar, there. Features spiders. With courage in our hearts, we delve further into enemy territory - which is to say, we move into the second room. Caution proves to be more difficult that you might think. We discover the lack of Pathfinder rules for handling …

Update: fixed some audio issues where parts of Nathan's track were stripped out. It's too long since we did any impersonation. The Rebellion continues to gather steam, by which I mean, we maintain our proud record of appalling dice rolls and bare survival. We go for a nice walk that isn't any kind of casing of joints, no sir. Subterfuge ensues as C…

Update: fixed some audio issues where parts of Nathan's track were stripped out. Bridge taxes are up! Outrageous! I don't honestly remember what happened in this episode, apart from lying to NPCs because gnome. We purchase huge numbers of scrolls (OK, within the limited budget of a low-level party). Shopping occurs. We examine the rules for craftin…

Join us once more for ineptitude in the streets of devil-struck Kintargo... You don't get anywhere as a small business owner seditious rebel without persistence. We return once again to the bloody annoying halls of the Fantasmagorium in the hopes of making it past the first flippin' room. On our past record this is very much a nail-biter. Part 23 o…

Educational visits can be dangerous. "Starknives and whips is just not a good look with skeletons", quote Zim. We are bullied by undead apes, and discover the disadvantages of party members who are physically incapable of inflicting damage (yes, I'm one of them). Part 22 of the campaign is now up on Archive.org at Episode 022: Is this going to be a…

Roger has kindly pointed out that the start of Episode 21 contains 13 minutes of dead silence. This is in no way part of an elaborate Kuthite occult ritual designed to lure our innocent audience into the path of shadow and pain. Especially now that someone's noticed. I have replaced the file on Archive.org.…

"I am not a number (of hit points), I am a free, uh, humanoid of some kind." Reggie and Mal uncover a Plot Device. We accidentally perform a 1970s comedy routine (poor Rexus). A visit to the Museum proves education in different ways than the institution originally anticipated - for example, we learned you should always carry a slashing weapon. Part…

In this twentieth episode, sometimes it's hard to be spooky. Relations with our patron become somewhat soured when we point out that he is criticising us without doing anything whatsoever to improve matters himself (that'll happen). We engage in budget Hallowe'en shenanigans and lie abundantly. All good fun between enemies. Part twenty of the campa…

Dare you listen to this inauspicious eighteenth episode? You do? Oh, okay. Great. That's pretty cool actually. The new recruits prove to need more training in the Gentle Art of Insurrection than we initially realised. Malexius engages in avian skulduggery in the face of a sceptical Reggie. We do a bunch of rebellion admin (I cut a lot of it out, ho…

There is no beginning; no end; only podcast. We continue our suboptimal attempts to evict - with extreme prejudice - interlopers* in our beloved home** bent on depriving us of (in no particular order) life, liberty and our worldly wealth***. Tragedy strikes in our midst. The DM accidentally foreshadows next session's calamities. *yes, yes, technica…

For loyal podcast listeners, hoorah! Another episode! This episode begins with my apology for losing half of the previous session, and a brief summary of our fairy-mangling exploits. Due to being dim, I managed to download the same recording twice and fail to record the second one at all... sorry. In which we do a remarkably poor job of keeping our…

Podcasts? Never heard of 'em, guv. I wouldn't know anything about that. You must be thinking of another couple of gnomes. In which we attempt to set up rebellion management, and discover some, uh, some discrepancies. "Murder" or "I would lie, and then lie, and then add additional lies"? Part fourteen of the campaign is now up on Archive.org at Epis…

This episode? Fell off the back of a lorry la, I can give it you for a fiver? Hijinks ensue, but this time it isn't us. Scandalous! And I say that as a gnome. Also, new friends are, eventually, made, and I require a cup of coffee for my hat. Part thirteen of the campaign is now up on Archive.org at Episode 013: Ego Shattered!. Direct Links RSS feed…

For loyal podcast listeners, hoorah! Another episode! For loyal readers, sorry, I haven't had much time or inspiration for posts recently. I do have some ideas on the back burner, but work and general Life Stuff isn't exactly leisurely these last few months. In which we feign artistic differences and our distraction is counter-distracted. If this r…

After feedback from a kind listener (thanks Roger, we love you) I've gone back and redone the audio for episodes 5-10 to get a better balance of volume for people's voices. Hopefully they'll all be clearer in future. Feedback is great, please leave comments! In which our GM appears to be underwater and/or possessed but it's just the audio, he assur…
