Inspired Incompetence

Book 5 baby! After (mostly) surviving the mildest of Gallowspire's challenges, we finally emerged "victorious", granting Arazni her opportunity to exact revenge against Tar Baphon. Of course that didn't exactly play out as we hoped, so now we find ourselves in an unfamiliar jungle with only a final cryptic instruction from Arazni as to what to do next.   This episode also features a sizeable cutsc...

***SPOILERS AHEAD*** This episode contains spoilers for the entirety of Tyrant's Grasp thus far (through the end of Book 4). For those who are unfamiliar with the story of Tyrant's Grasp or have not listened up through episode 125 of our playthrough, be warned. Tyrant's Grasp, as an adventure, is also the story of the Red Crusader, Arazni. Formerly the Herald of Aroden, enlisted and then killed fi...

Here we go! We're finally done, entirely, with Book 4 of Tyrant's Grasp. Here we take a brief look back at the past year of our podcasting life and reflect on where we started and how we got to where we are now, plus listener questions! As always, you can find us on Twitter (@inspired_incomp) and on Facebook to follow along with our exploits, you can shoot us an email at  InspiredIncompetence@gmai...

Lord Richter and Lady Toast return this week to discuss the Book 4 Finale for Tyrant's Grasp, in which they pine for a more sympathetic view of Tar Baphon and discuss the practicality of nukes. After that, they're joined by Michelle, the voice of Arazni herself, to discuss her time as the Queen of Geb. As always, you can find us on Twitter (@inspired_incomp) and on Facebook to follow along with ou...

It's been one hell of a journey. From the ruins of Vigil through the Hungry Mountains of Virlych and into the depths of Gallowspire itself we have been put through the wringer. We've lost friends (and acquaintances) and met some new ones along the way. We've seen horrors unknown to the world for nearly a thousand years and lived (mostly) to tell the tale. Now that we're finally out of the horror o...

Lord Richter and Lady Toast return this week, and are joined by Matt to talk about his conversation with himself and to defend himself against Richter's outrage over the fate of a certain NPC.  Also, like the fool he is, Matt was caught unawares towards the end of this episode and claimed that the Book 4 Retrospective would be recorded on July 3. This is obviously wrong as the Book 4 finale has no...

This is not exactly where we thought we would end up. After finally escaping Gallowspire, we decided to pay a visit to an old friend, but someone didn't get the memo and caused quite the commotion in town. Now we have to do damage control while we do some catching up on multiple fronts before we go off to face multiple fronts of a brewing war. Also, the end of book 4 of this adventure is finally i...

Lord Richter and Lady Toast are back this week, and they've tricked Nick into joining them to talk about how the guys finally got out of Gallowspire and then almost immediately got themselves into trouble again by inciting a public panic. As always, you can find us on Twitter (@inspired_incomp) and on Facebook to follow along with our exploits, you can shoot us an email at  InspiredIncompetence@gm...

Ok, it's entirely possible we've bitten off more than we can chew with the depths of Gallowspire. As much as we struggled even with the parts that weren't sealed off from intruders, we just had to push our luck and delve even deeper, and we have paid the price for it. Now it just might be time to cut our losses and get the hell out of here before something truly catastrophic happens. Also, the end...

Lord Richter and Lady Toast are back this week, and they're joined by a sadistic GM named Alex to discuss the gauntlet he's forced his players into and how he's sating his blood thirst.

You can find out more...

Ok. It's possible this was a mistake. Delving even deeper into the dungeon of death and undeath beyond our immediate goal may cause us some lasting repercussions. Who knows, though, maybe we'll get out of this scott free and just go on our merry way. Anything's possible, right? Also, it appears that the end of book 4 of this adventure is finally in sight! That means that our Book 4 Recap Retrospec...

Lord Richter and Lady Toast return this week to call the gang out for causing confusion by using knowledge gleaned between sessions in their efforts to dispose of a truly mythic cloud of fog. Also, stick around until the end to get Lady Toast's hot take on peanut butter. As always, you can find us on Twitter (@inspired_incomp) and on Facebook to follow along with our exploits, you can shoot us an...

We may have gone a little too far with this one. We've been delving into the depths of Gallowspire, in case you forgot, and have not exactly had an easy time of it. Then we came across an adventurer's favorite thing: a sealed off area. Now, we have everything that we came to Gallowspire for, but the temptation was just too great, so now we've released a fog cloud of mythic proportions and unleashe...

With what appears to be our final deadly obstacle overcome in the way of our accomplishment of our mission in Gallowspire, it is finally time to sit down and learn a few things about what exactly we've been enduring down here. With the accumulated knowledge of Tar Baphon, curated by Ameretos, we might finally be able to glean some information about the foe we've been on a collision course with sin...

Lord Richter and Lady Toast return this week to correct the gang on just how long they've actually been recording before once more discussing the semantic definitions of what makes a lake a lake and what makes up "air". As always, you can find us on Twitter (@inspired_incomp) and on Facebook to follow along with our exploits, you can shoot us an email at  InspiredIncompetence@gmail.com  if you're...

Gallowspire is a place that could very conceivably be called the Capital of death on Golarion. It is a place so full of death and undeath that the addition of one more dead body can easily go unnoticed. Not this one, though. This one is very much felt by us, especially coming so close to the accomplishment of our goal here. How much more tragedy can we endure? Also, it appears that the end of book...

After trading blows back and forth, everyone has taken a step back to recover as the fight with the graveknight captain Ameretos continues. Let's see if this one can get a better body count than some of the other graveknights we've taken down. Also, it appears that the end of book 4 of this adventure is finally in sight! That means that our Book 4 Recap Retrospective Extravaganza is forthcoming as...

Lord Richter and Lady Toast return this week to discuss scared elves, brave psychopomps, blind elk, and ineffectual lightning strikes in between digressions in this iteration of Dice and Salt.

After cutting our way through the chaffe, it's time to put ourselves up against the wheat. We've battled our way through this nightmare of a dungeon and destroyed several of Geb's elite guards, but now it's time to try our luck against the baddest of the bads.  Also, it appears that the end of book 4 of this adventure is finally in sight! That means that our Book 4 Recap Retrospective Extravaganza...

Lord Richter and Lady Toast return this week to discuss the physics of mercury and digress so much that this is really just a digression episode with a smattering of Inspired Incompetence review. Fun times all around. As always, you can find us on Twitter (@inspired_incomp) and on Facebook to follow along with our exploits, you can shoot us an email at  InspiredIncompetence@gmail.com  if you're so...

With the misguided perpetually tortured outsider behind us, it comes time to work our way through a hall of mirrors that surely will not manage to conceal any deadly enemies at all. Also, it appears that the end of book 4 of this adventure is finally in sight! That means that our Book 4 Recap Retrospective Extravaganza is forthcoming as well! If you have any questions you would like us to answer d...

Whelp...we're still in Gallowspire. It does feel like we're finally actually working towards the conclusion of our time in here, but that just means that the enemies we're going to face will be our toughest foes yet. Here's hoping the reward befits the risk. Also, it appears that the end of book 4 of this adventure is finally in sight! That means that our Book 4 Recap Retrospective Extravaganza is...
