Episodes

S2 E8 Angels & Demons 05.02.2026

This is it. The survivors figure out what is at the centre of the empty city... We won't spoil it for you.

S2 E7 Angels & Demons 05.02.2026

Anthony rejoins to discover the group in chaos. Can they make their was to the centre of the city, or will everything come crashing down?

S2 E6 Angels & Demons 21.01.2026

Finally, the group make their way down into Denver, uncovering fractures in reality on a scale far grander than they imagined. Something dark lies below the ground and only one of them has the Endurance to make it through.

S2 E5 Angels & Demons 10.10.2025

Reality is starting to get a little hairy. With Anthony struck down by some unknown illness, the group head off towards the city in search of answers.

S2E4 Angels & Demons 19.09.2025

The one with the door. Everyone is stunned by what they find behind the door. It is genuinely.... unbelievable. The group continue exploring the labyrinth, trying to fix their plumbing problems. To mixed success.

S2E3 Angels & Demons 12.09.2025

It's ALIVE. Power is restored, but Sanitation is still a problem. The Sinners have to hold their noses and begin dealing with the stinkier side of the settlement. And it means diving deep into the labyrinthian bunker they live over...

S2E2 Angels & Demons 05.09.2025

The survivors arrive at an entirely unexpected sight. An impossibly tall tower up to the heavens. A sign of hubris? An affront to god himself? Whoever used to live here, the survivors are determined to salvage what they can from it.

S2 E1 Angels & Demons 29.08.2025

After a period of calm, the settlement is experiencing growing pains. After sorting through priorities, they realise they need gasoline to fuel their plans. A weird bubble slow their plans right down and some quick decision making is required.

Angels & Demons Intermission 2 15.08.2025

Welcome back Sinners! The survivors begin to explore the complex, finding more mysteries than they imagined. Harper drags the group down into the depths to explore something... quite peculiar.

Angels & Demons Intermission 1 08.08.2025

Welcome back to the Embers of Humanity. Before we kick off Season 2, we thought we'd take a moment, spend time at home and built out our settlement a little. As the settlement turns into a village, some questions are raised about how they are governed. Trains are shifted, homes are built and settling down begins.

Angels & Demons Session 7 04.04.2025

Welcome to the Embers of Humanity! In our Series finale, the Survivors desperately look for a way to escape from the Weirdness of the canning factory before the heavens themselves arrive. With a plan straight out of a Loony Tunes show, the Survivors put all their energy into one big gamble, to escape with food, and their lives. This episode also contains a debrief on the 1st Season and discussion...

Angels & Demons Session 6 28.03.2025

Welcome to the Embers of Humanity! Things are getting desperate back at the camp. There's more mouths to feed, lots of promise for next year's harvest, but fundamentally no food on the table right now! The Survivors decide it's time to risk the canning facility, even though they know that folk don't normally leave once they set foot inside...

Angels & Demons Session 5 21.03.2025

Welcome to the Embers of Humanity! Things are heating up in Little Nowhere! The coming of the Angels is preached, though reaction is somewhat muted at best. A quiet night of burgeoning friendship and respect is interrupted by the realisation that the second coming is, perhaps, far more real and far more imminent that anyone could have expected.

Angels & Demons Session 4 14.03.2025

Welcome to the Embers of Humanity! The Survivors get to know the Demon Beleth and he, perhaps, offers them a degree of protection. But perhaps not. Running low on food, they head to the nearby farming town of Little Nowhere where Lana makes a new friend and Anthony... doesn't.

Angels & Demons Session 3 07.03.2025

Welcome to the Embers of Humanity! The Survivors are, surprisingly, still alive. Finding an abandoned utilities building, they grab a quick rest before spending the evening taking it to pieces. Lana and Georgi do some studying, while Harper stands guard and Anthony tries to go one whole episode without nearly dying.

Angels & Demons Session 2 28.02.2025

Welcome to the Embers of Humanity! The survivors take some time to get to know their new home, before deciding that, above all else, they need a fresh water supply. Encouraged by their new friend Arthur, they head up the mountain, where Anthony makes some rash decisions and Lana relives her youth.

Angels & Demons Session 1 21.02.2025

Welcome to the Embers of Humanity. Our survivors, Lana, Georgi, Harper & Anthony are on their way to the Rocky Mountains, but they're out of food. They find a camp full of bandits and sneak in, looking to collect some supplies. Anthony takes some decisive action, while Harper just reacts. Georgi heads for the drivers seat while Lana makes a new friend. The team finishes up by building out thei...

Angels & Demons Session 0 21.02.2025

Welcome to the Embers of Humanity, as Hedge, Jo, Yeti, Sweet & Leaf begin rolling up their very own Apocalypse in Embers of Humanity. This podcast is aimed at showing people how Embers of Humanity is played through an Actual Play podcast, where the group will get to grips with the rules, create their own, unique Apocalypse and Survivors and then try and build out their settlement. In the sessi...
