Fantastic Worlds Podcast

Until next time, we hope you have many fantastic adventures...

Tyrants fall, heroes rise, and the call of the Witch Queen grows ever stronger. The Fellowship of the Ladle faces the end of their epic tale, and they won't let it spark out without a bang (or two).

A dream with the devil – Pippa comes mind to mind with Rasputin! What does this terrifying Russian lord want with our silvertongue princess? And as a new day dawns, what lays in store for Team Torta as they realize that Rasputin must die! But first, it’s time to interrupt an arcane ceremony…but who or what is leading it?

The Romanov children must die! Again! Team Torta wages ghostly war against the seeming raised spirits of Anastasia’s slain siblings, but things get dicey when they cast their witchy eyes upon the weak-willed members of the crew. It’s going to take a real magical touch to get through this fight!

Where is the best place to hold a seance? In a Rasputin-controlled Russian military compound? Team Torta is on the hunt for a way to raise the dead, but it looks like someone may beat them to it. Who is waiting for them in one of the unexplored buildings, and how will this conversation go?

The suspense is unbearable! As Team Torta is given no time to rest after the Dullahan fight, Abraxas leads the group towards some suspicious ursine roars bellowing from an inconspicuous barn on Rasputin’s property. What is laying in store for the intrepid adventurers? Will their course of action be just right?

Who shot Menet? A vicious new enemy enters the fray and shakes up what was seemingly an easily-handled battle. Sights are aimed, but who falls to the gunman’s attacks? A challenging battle awaits Team Torta – how will they prevail?

Catch me with those dullahands! Execute Team Torta Pincer Maneuver Delta Alpha Go! The group goes on the hunt for a special goat with a lantern in order to get ahold of Victor's missing soul. But what are these Irish monsters doing in Mother Russia? Time to send the dead back to hell! BAAAAAAAAA!

“Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?” Miracles can occur even in the coldest, harshest climates. And on the contrary, sometimes Team Torta just makes some stupid novice mistakes. They hunt for a goat, but is it they who are penned in? Onward to the yurts! Time to live deliciously!

Here there be dragons! An unexpected turn of events means that Team Torta is once again battling a dragon, this time indoors and cramped! Will this be a battle that cannot be bested? Or simply another thorn in their sides? And as they search for a way to stop Rasputin, what will the team do when presented with an unexpected opportunity?

After escaping the events at the monastery, Team Torta goes to the next castle (barracks?) to save the princess! A gruesome, hair-raising foe stands in their way. What lengths will the party members go to in order to save Anastasia Romanov from the clutches of Rasputin? And what will they do afterwards?

Camp-life – Team Torta edition. It’s time to do some sneaking, and hopefully this new location doesn’t totally suck. Pippa scouts ahead as the rest trail behind as the players learn more about Rasputin’s central stronghold. The mysteries of the monastery and the surrounding prison camp lay ahead of them as Team Torta delves deep into enemy territory!

You! Shall! Not! Pass! After an eventful 5-mile hike, Team Torta finds themselves staring out at a literal No-Man’s Land. But this time, no Wonder Woman will be there to help them break through enemy lines. Tanks loom! Infantry swarms! How will the party make it through to the other side where a mysterious prison camp awaits?

There is a time to fight and there is a time to recover. Team Torta surveys the remnants of the battle and helps the surviving members of the destroyed town. With down time suddenly at their fingertips, the members of Team Torta turn inward and dwell on their own personal issues. But what one person learns, so must another. Ring ring…let’s play some telephone

Let’s get this party started! However, Team Torta doesn’t really want to be invited to this one. Corpses pile up and the gang is threatened on all sides. Slash! Blast! Burn! Boom! SMITE! Time to fight in the ruins of a battlefield!

War has come for Team Torta! The hut is on the attack, but what exactly are the members attacking? And where exactly are they? It’s nyet time for hasty decisions, so perhaps the best defense is an offense. This mechanical beast is proving a threat – will the Team be able to withstand?

Shadows of the present flee as shadows of the past loom once more. New room, new you? Maybe so if you’re ok with brushing away the dust and forging anew. Our team of Guys and Dolls marches on as they explore deeper into Baba Yaga’s hut as they search for an exit and information on this new world! This Team Torta family is ready to go in this exciting season finale!

Someone needs to call the exterminators! Or maybe some de-colonizers? The metaphors are becoming mixed, just like how mixed-up Team Torta’s emotions are roiling and boiling.
