Crucible of Realms Jim Ryan

Hosts: Jim, Jon & Kent Guest: Keith Baker In February of 2014, we sat down and built a world with Keith Baker, the creater of Gloom and Eberron! In this episode, we create a world where massive elemental beings fight for dominence while posing a constant threat to the human populace, who make use of special forms of magic to survive. You can find some of Keith's work here: Web Site: https://keith-baker.com/ Twogether Studios: https://www.twogetherstudios.com/ DMs' Guild: https://www.dmsguild.com/browse.php?author=Keith%20Baker DOWNLOAD EPISODE 29 - APEX CONVERGENCE

Hosts: Jim, Jon & Kent Guest: Drew Meyer (NOTE: The original MP3 file had a bit of a hiccup late in the episode, but it's since been replaced and the new file should be available to grab now!) In this episode recorded in December 2013, we welcome podcaster and game designer Drew Meyer! Together, we hammer together a world permeated with dimensional waves that change the laws of reality. The ones living there have founded very different civilizations, each suited to their circumstances. You can find Drew's podcasts and other work here: The Never Say Die!

Hosts: Jim, Jon & Kent Guest: Dave RobisonEver have one of those personal eras when your life turns upside down a few times and then a pandemic happens and then you look up and realize the audio edit you've been stressing over for the past decade doesn't have to be as perfect as your inner critic insists and it's okay if the final product runs over two hours after all?  Sometimes it takes a very long time to get one's inner critic to back down. But when it happens? It can be a thing of wonder. At long last, here is the next episode of Crucible of Realms. In it, our guest Dave brings us a massive concept to play with - a world split into three parts, each experiencing a different environment and each with a different relationship with magic.

Hosts: Jim, Jon & Kent Guest: David Sobkowiak It appears we've returned! This episode was one of a handful coming up that we thought gone to the mists of time. Thankfully, we've finally managed to recover the audio and are delighted to present it to you! In this episode we create a PERFECTLY NORMAL town deep in the Hundred-Mile Wilderness where ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is amiss. Nothing. At all. Well, except during glider season...

RECORDED LIVE AT CONCAROLINAS 2015! Kent and I met up at ConCarolinas to do a live podcast this year, marveled at the fact that the room was nearly empty and practically gave up hope. Then, as we were getting ready to pack it all in, we were bolstered by the arrival of a single audient (quite possibly by accident), so we decided to do an Epoch Iteration with her. So here's that. Enjoy! LINKS ConCarolinas Extra-Life, Team Intelsat Sabrina's DeviantArt Site Tenebrous CypherCaster Magazine, Issue 001 DOWNLOAD EPOCH ITERATION 17 - I BOUGHT A MONSTER
