A Sundered World

In this episode we talk about the 5th episode of the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon, "In Search of Dungeon Master." We discuss how Presto needs to keep his mouth shut, Eric is out of line but correct, and how it's a goddamn shame that Warduke was never used again despite being the secondmost effective villain in the entire series. New episodes of the main podcast will resume next month, but until then...

In a long and rambling episode we detail the plot of Dragon Age 2 and talk about how it's possibly the best of the series despite the hate it received initially and why it's the lynchpin of the series and the springboard for the later games to do what they do. By the way, we've also begun recording the actual podcast again! Stay tuned for updates and the release of new episodes! A Sundered World i...

In this new miniseries we talk about the Dragon Age games in chronological order and discuss the lore of the games. We talk about how we interpret that lore and talk about what theories we have/had based on where we are in the timeline and what each new revelation does or did to those theories. We also talk about plotlines that we wish had been followed further and questions we have that haven't y...

Breaking our long hiatus thanks to terrible real life problems including catastrophic equipment failure and loss of hours and hours of raw audio, we realease an episode of a Patreon series called Cartoons & Commentary, where we watch the old Dungeons & Dragons cartoon from the 1980's and give our thoughts and opinions on both the episode and what we think of it in terms of an adventure played at t...

Thanks to a catastrophic hard drive failure I lost all unfinished episodes and so cannot release the end of the first campaign of the Stumpwater Tales. However, I have recorded a dramatic summary of what should have been released as episodic content and am endeavoring to maintain better backups for the future.

In honor of both our third anniversary as a podcast and someone new getting to wear a silly hat somewhere in England, Hunter has stepped aside to let our very own UK citizen Ashley take the DM chair for a little while and give us the most Britishly British nobleman that ever was British in order for us to hate him and his horrible, antiquated ideas. We also go looking for some dwarven treasure or...
