The time has come for our final episode of our four part Glitter Hearts one shot! Using friendship to their advantage, our group of juniors decide to split up, sending Molly, Aster, and Liv to the football field while Stella and Bri try to talk Ms. Starbourne down from doing irreversible damage to Horizon High. Using their magical powers and larger than life personas, it's down the the wire for th...

It's down to the wire as our group of joyful juniors begin to uncover Ms. Starbourne's plans to twart the school, and maybe even all of Vitopia. Our friends take on Horizon High's aged auditorium mid-class, choosing to skip their own for the sake of infiltrating another. It is here that some bonds are formed, others are broken, and most importantly: secrets are discovered. So pop some popcorn and...

On this second episode of Glitter Hearts, our crew follows through on the mystery presented to them at the end of last session. With a butterfly void of color flying by and leaving a trail of dark ichor, the only logical thing to do if follow it, right? With some sneaking and sleuthing on the horizon, the team bands together to gather leads on the cause of such an experiment. New magical abilities...

Vitopia has always been seen as the shining heart of the world: fast paced network of color and light, the inner workings of the city’s core sustains itself off the sickest tech. That, of course being low rise jeans, portable CD players, and Juicy Couture sweatsuits. But the true magic Vitopia thrives on is the magic that comes through it’s richness in color and saturation . That’s right, newbies,...

These things are true; the world is dark. In this final episode of our Ten Candles one shot, the party continues their trek through an even darker Flaming Cliffs State Park. With some mysteries solved and even more to unravel, it seems time is running out for our trio of scientists. We only know one thing to be true: that this game was built to end in demise. If you like our content, make sure to...

These things are true; the world is dark. As the party persists through Flaming Cliffs State Park, our trio's perspectives and goals shift into something more gutteral and instinctive. With the ash and shadow falling round them, survival is no longer a goal, but simply a battle. Surprises lurk around every corner, both aiding and hindering the group in their driving force: surviving long enough to...

These things are true; the world is dark. Flaming Cliffs State Park is home to many sights: cavernous rock faces, geological findings, etc. However, that was the old world. This one is new; plagued, if you could even call it that. It hold an insatiable hunger that is undescribale and persistent, and it's coming for us. Unsing the ten candles ttrpg system by Stephen Dewey and Cavalry Games, our tea...

In the laws of the universe lie stories untold,  And through only their tellers do tales unfold. While this is not the typical kind of content, World of the Inked Expanse is a love letter from the cast to each other, and also to all of you! Worldbuilding and storytelling takes a team, and it is through experimental content creation like this that we are able to explore the stories of people that a...

In this episode, the party ties up the rest of their loose ends as they make their final dealings with the mindflayer. Using quick wit, cooperation, and a little bit of arcane flair, our party is able to come to some terms of agreement with the abberation. An exploration of group's morals and devotion to their respective causes, follow our team as they do what they can to make the city a better, s...

CONTENT WARNING: This episode includes loss of PC autonomy and free will, exploration of trauma, harm to a child PC, and eye gore. Listener discretion is advised. Let's fight a 'flayer! In this episode, the party concludes their fight with the Mindflayer that has claimed Kindhir for themselves. However, with strange magical devices and unknown monster abilities ahead, that seems easier said than d...

CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains loss of character autonomy and free will, and harm to a child PC. Listener discretion is advised. It's time to throw some punches! As the mindflayer has met the gaze of Id and Oddyn, it seems words will not be enough to resolve this particular conflict. With the party still split and combat on the horizon, our disjointed party must learn to come together to d...

Apparently our party cannot follow the most simple rule of dnd: never split the party. Following the aftermath of what went down at the church, our party splits into two teams (yet again) in order to gain more information about the mindflayer controlling the city proper. With not much to go off of, Id and Oddyn find themselves repelling down a well. Meanwhile, Melwyn and Myla start trying to follo...

(With new cover art!) If you've listened this far or read these descriptions, thank you! We pour our hearts and souls into this story and these characters and now you can listen to an hour of Jay gushing over her friends! (Jk Jay, love you). But for real, this is the first Shifting Gears where we have  listener questions and we are so excited to answer them for you! So if you want to hear our proc...

We pick up right where we left off: with our group of troublemakers infiltrating a chapel and gaining more information on the mindflayer at large. With not much to go off of, the newest party members have to make a decision: should they stick around and hear what this preacher wishes to enlighten them on, or do they resist and return to their new friends? Meanwhile, Myla and Id do what they can to...

As the party continues their time through the festival (or rather away from it), Id and Melwyn are given the chance to get to know each other a little more. After some banter and back and forth, the pair noticce some strange happenings and reunite with Oddyn and Myla. It seems the town has been shrouded in this grey form of arcana, and the only people not effected are our recent arrivals into the...

Don't worry, it's still the day of the festival, but the party decided not to take advantage of the time and instead kidnap a few suspicious people. Melwyn, on the other hand, looks for a way to placate their patron through cheating at a card game, leaving Jared in another losing pickle. Id has a strong conversation with Oddyn about morals and Myla has little remorse for what she chose to do. Whil...

As a new day dawns, it's time for a festival! Nothing can go wrong, right? That is, until you add our party into the mix. Still on the search for answers, the party attends the day's festivities with the intention of experiencing new things and locating new targets. However, some words said give Myla and Oddyn a cause for suspision. Chaos ensues and the party's objectives are once again split as t...

Continuing their decompression from the day's earlier events, the party settles in for the night and gets to know each other. Upon their "bonding" and "comradery", it is brought to their attention that a festival is on the horizon! A time of games and community to celebrate autumn's retirement and winter's commencement, our adventurers start looking ahead to where their paths may lead them. They p...

With the foe defeated, the only question is: what is this jack? Oddyn's curiosity puts her in an interesting spot and Id and Myla discuss whether they should trust these newcomers. The all investigate the abandoned house of a noble in Kindhir and find a few tacks but one well-used one. Once they discover where the tracks lead, Id and Myla fall for an illusions tricks while Oddyn and Melwyn try to...
