Chapter 6, Episode 4 - I'm Not Crazy About "Family Trees" But It Works Well Enough

On this week's episode, our heroes are greeted by the familiar (but much older) face of Lak'hot Reinleaf, the evangelist for Moander that travelled with Amalessya so many years ago. Will he let the party continue on their way without an altercation? Will the party be able to just turn around and leave? Will Fennec create a fireball big enough? Find out for yourself in this week's episode!

I'm really happy with how this episode turned out, even if there were a lot of aspects of it that I completely biffed and forgot multiple times throughout. But that's how it is running a game like this, so I'm sure all of you will understand. There's still plenty of excitement and intrigue to come, though, so try and contain yourself over the next few weeks!

Thanks to everyone for listening and following along, as we near the home stretch. See you all next week!

Curse of Radiance Chapter 6, Episode 3 - The Boob Armor Is Canonically Justified

This week, the three heroes encounter Alias and Dragonbait, the two protagonists of the Azure Bonds novel and subjects of Clyde Caldwell's stunning cover art. Alias explains her story to the best of her ability, the party makes some assumptions about what's still to come, and they begin the treacherous journey down into the hidden temple of Moander- where a familiar face is waiting for their arrival. What will come of this venture? Find out next time!

This was a fun episode, though admittedly it's largely a huge lore dump. I had seriously been waiting for the party to come and meet Alias and Dragonbait since the start of the campaign (they could have come here as early as the second chapter, but I guess it just wasn't in the cards) so it was great to finally get here. And I'm really happy with how this episode (and the rest of this story arc) turned out! Hopefully you all will be too!

Thanks to everyone for following along, and catch you next week!

Curse of Radiance Chapter 6, Episode 2 - Lore Never Changes

In this week's episode, the party hitches a ride to Hillsfar, in the hopes of requesting aid and safe passage through Yulash to find the cult of Moander hidden there. (In case you forgot, this is a follow-up to a suggestion one of the players made ALMOST A YEAR AGO, way back in the first arc of the campaign.) But when they get there- what's this? The city is under new management? And the new management is a racist pile of refuse? That can't be good!

I really think this is an interesting episode because without spoilers, we as a group took a short break and talked about campaign expectations and goals in the middle of the episode. I really considered cutting a lot of that during editing but in the end I decided to leave it in because this sort of thing can be a learning experience for listeners as much as it was a learning experience for us as the players. Sometimes, you need to set the game aside for a few minutes and figure out what everyone wants out of the game!

And another quick reminder: if you want to listen to the two-part bonus "Beach Episode", the second part goes live on our Patreon today! It's a ton of fun and you can get it (as well as all of our other bonus content) for one measly dollar. What's not to like about that?

Thanks for following along, and I hope you enjoy this week's episodes!

Curse of Radiance Chapter 6, Episode 1 - It Has Been So, So Long

We're back in the present, finally! All except Torunn, that is- somehow, the dwarven fighter has been replaced (or swapped, or something) with Benjil Turcott, the halfling mercenary that stole the blade of Lathander- and then, supposedly, died two years ago. As the party copes with the loss of one ally, and the fact that Benjil seems to have been cursed with the Azure Bonds as well, they plan their next move- which means travelling to an unwelcome city and asking for help.

I'm overjoyed to finally be at this point in the story, and in fact I'm so overjoyed, that I have a special announcement! Have you heard we have a Patreon? You have now! This week and next, everyone on our $1 tier will get a two-part bonus episode that we recorded with Freeman a little while back, to get him up to speed and acclimated to the group. They're a ton of fun, and along with them, joining our campaign also gets you a ton of outtakes and other cool stuff! I highly recommend you go check it out.
