We have some brief announcements to make about changes to the podcast and planning for what comes next. You can safely ignore this if you like. 

We're back to music this week! This time it's music from the battle between Aster's friends and Nondle's gang. We're very nearly out of music! We'll have an update soon about what we'll be releasing instead on off weeks.  Next week is Episode 106, which has a lot of role-playing (again).  Our 5E Spelljammer rules are available!

We're back to music this week, with the theme we use for Spelljammer combat! That means we're starting to creep up on music from our most recent episodes--we're running out of music! We might release some of the ambiences we've used for dungeons once we've released all the music.  Next week is Episode 105, in which there is a  lot  of role-playing.  Our 5E Spelljammer rules are available! Check th...

After defeating some slavers, the party looks into getting their spelljammer upgraded by Kat the gnome.

This week we're releasing music Mike did for the House of Bob Podcast, for their "Oasis Down" D&D 5E one shot . Okay, so it's not the TFTGGW soundtrack, but it's still RPG music, right? This week's cover art is by Shaun of Shaunmakes.com ! Next week is Episode 103, in which the heroes continue to explore the floating city called The Sprawl of the Leviathan.  Our 5E Spelljammer rules are available!...

The heroes have begun to explore the outside world, starting with the ocean, I guess. And...some stuff happens. It all seems like it's going nowhere in particular, but I promise it is, mostly. Some of it is going somewhere.  Check out our free Spelljammer 5E combat rules at   https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/tftggw/TFTGGW_Spelljammer_5E_Rules_Version_1.0.pdf Find us on Facebook , Instagram , Disc...

We're back to music this week, with the synth-heavy combat music from the fight against the Necrosorb! Synth music is easy and fast to create, and Mike tends to lean on it (maybe more than is optimal).  Next week is Episode 102, and we find out what the crew does in the aftermath of their victory over another spelljammer! Our 5E Spelljammer rules are available! Check them out at https://traffic.li...

We've put it off long enough! This week the crew of Corellon's Needle confronts a spelljammer crewed by slavers.

Here's the last of the three songs from Episode 100! This one has Zartok summarizing everything from him waking up to the party meeting Coral Petrichor. It's a good thing Josh and listener Brandon know a bit about hip hop, because Mike was pretty useless here.  Find us on Facebook , Instagram , and Twitter , and Discord, and let us know what you think! 

Here's the second of the three songs from Episode 100! This one has Aster explaining events up until Zartok enters the story. Chris and Mike worked really hard on this one. It's too long, but Aster has a lot of story to summarize! The lyrics for this one were written by listener Ben! Find us on Facebook , Instagram , and Twitter , and Discord, and let us know what you think! 

Here's the first of the three songs from Episode 100! This one has Tara explaining events up until Aster enters the story. Ashley didn't want to sing, so listener Brandon (who appeared in the Holiday 2020 special episodes!) and Mike wrote an old-fashioned talk-to-a rhythm song for her.  Find us on Facebook , Instagram , and Twitter , and Discord, and let us know what you think! We would really app...

We made it to episode 100! Listener Big Poppa G suggested that we do a musical recap of the story so far for Episode 100. We were too stupid to say no, so here you go.  It's a regular episode for 35 minutes, and then the musical section begins. We had to assemble this with everyone being in different locations, and it wasn't easy. Not all of us are musically inclined, either. Cut us some slack! Th...

We're back to music this week, and sadly, you have to listen to Mike try to play guitar. It is really not his instrument. It's the music from Episode 94, when Aster returns from World 83 to join the fight against the frost giant and magical polar bear! Next week is Episode 100! It has some really big surprises in it! We worked really hard on it, with help from some listeners on our Discord server....
