Pardon Our Dust

Archive.org keeps dropping old episodes, so I've made the decision to migrate our hosting services to Podbean. The intention, of course, is that you won't experience any disruption in the feed, but we all know those gremlins can foil even the best-laid plans...

This blog will remain active, but you can also follow us over on our Podbean page (which is currently a total mess as I wrangle episodes into order, etc.) if you're into that sort of thing.

At any rate, fingers crossed for a glitch-free transition!

[Call of Cthulhu] The Fall Without End

Today is David S.'s birthday, and, to help celebrate, friends of the Order Randy and Susan Steward are in town and Susan is taking the Keeper's chair to run "The Fall Without End" from Hebanon Games' No Security scenario pack.

Join us as three teams of intrepid mountain climbers attempt to be the first to definitively summit Alaska's Mount McKinley, and see what awaits them at the top...

Side Note: Apparently, according to some spud's one-star review on iTunes, we are unlistenable due to poor audio quality. If this is the case and y'all have just been too polite to mention it over the course of 145 episodes (give or take), please don't hesitate to speak up, either with specific examples or just generally. If, as I suspect, this is not an actual problem, please consider heading over to our iTunes page and leaving a more positive comment to balance out that Negative Nelly. Either way, thanks as always for listening!

[Pendragon] Alternate Universes: The Rise of Sir Blains

Inspired by the recent releases of The Book of Uther and The Marriage of Count Roderick, we return to the world of Pendragon for an "alternate universe" look at Sir Blains and his efforts to win the hand of young Lady Ellen.
