Quirky in All The Right Ways

What can I really say about this podcast but to call it a confluence of mad lads with accents? The crew is all a bunch of bastards, seemingly with the ultimate goal being the drink and a good laugh. I really enjoy listening to see what antics they will get up to, and to experience a more lighthearted and funny D&D AP.

Ballad of the Seven Dice ,

The Adventuring Company that Defies the Odds

This podcast is sure to take you away to a lovely and wonderful tale that will keep you glued to the podcast app of choice you wield on the daily! With Ricky leading our lovely three heroes through a tale of danger, excitement, and mystery, you're sure to get lost listening to these chaps stumble their way successfully along the road. Ricky the DM brings an exciting tale that is often thwarted by his lovable party that he does his best to ensure they don't self destruct. With a wide variety of NPCs, locations, and fantastic descriptions, he paints the word picture into your mind with ease and has you hooked on the story as though you were playing yourself.

If that wasn't enough to get you checking this out then you need the party to give you a nudge. You got your man Blaznak, the man raised by pigs and swinging hammers left right and center at anything coming his way while still retaining that loveable charm only a simple soul could have. The Baron, grand and majestic, never has an empty cup and could drink a drunken monk under the table while charming their companions to join their merry crew. Always a laugh and the "brave" leader for our merry bunch, as long as he has had a few shots of liquid courage. Their accountant and clerical assistant Cedric gives the crew the devil on their shoulder the most certainly do not need, but he is always sure to line the pockets of his friends and most importantly himself. As of yet i have not listened far enough along to get to their fourth member Haex, but if the three of these bastards are delivering with this kind of success then I can only imagine what they will bring to the table!

So if you're looking for a finely crafted story and a talented DM who is very skilled at changing his plans and machinations on a whim due to his very chaotic members then this is for you. If you're just looking for some belly laughs and dice rolls, guess what? Also for you. That's a double win for you folks who want both. So don't hold back, get to listening to this amazing story and get ready to be hooked!

Art Contest:

Father Matthews. This elderly man with skin stretched tight over his wiry body smiles at you. Wearing shabby robes and sporting a long grey bristly beard and balding with long grey hair, this creature appears to be human but something is terribly off. His smile doesn't sit quite right, like he is not used to his own face, his teeth are yellowed and horrid, his skin is stretched like there is something bigger below the surface but the body isn't any larger, and his eyes shine with yellow irises that give off a power that shouldn't be there. A symbol of Lathander dangles around his neck as though mocking the God of the Sun in plain view. His broken finger nails and strong hands flex as he marches toward you in an awkward gait with a confidence that the body should not allow.

Fun for the whole family!

Great and comedic show full of goofs and gaffs, hoots and hollers!

Definitely recommend!

Character: Dariun Branch

We enter into the spring court of the feywild and see a slightly odd looking eladrin. Dariun Branch is a Male spring Eladrin ranger, ( basically an elf with greener skin) Dariun comes from a noble family line but avoided becoming to posh or cocky by surrounding himself with grounded people. He is upbeat, but proper.

One odd thing about him is that although regularly an elfs hair is long and free flowing, His Hair is in a tied into a messy bun very uncommon among eladrin. He is wrapped in long Noble Elvish clothes full of golds and greens with organic inspired ornaments decorating the flowing robes, however, there is not much jewelry adorned him, only a deep Green black obsidian ring on his right hand. There is a branch insignia on it. A symbol of his heritage.

Though educated and noble, Dariun has trained with swords and bows from a young age making Him a skilled warrior and not someone to be trifled with.

His presence is that of a leader, one someone would choose to follow out of inspiration, not fear.
