Episode 00 [Welcome] - Don't Panic
However you found your way here, whichever realm you hale from, or whatever alignment you've chosen - welcome to North by North Quest.
NxNQ - a show that champions the belief that good stories make you feel things. So we aim to do just that - set out on this adventure using dnd5e mechanics to add randomness to where the story takes us and lets see where it goes...
Quick Notes for the New Listener:
If you want a relatively stand alone episode to get the flavor of the show, its pacing, and the characters, try our Wizards of the Coast "Podcasts of Waterdeep" event Episode 70. The story is canon yet built as a one shot taking place in Waterdeep. It's the perfect example to see if our brand of storytelling and dnd gets you excited! If you want a jump in point - Volume 3 (Episode 74) begins with a frantic, goofy, yet informative recap of "Our Story So Far" to help the new listener jump in partway through and quickly get up to speed! The main story begins in Episode 7 (Volume 1). Leading up to the grand beginning, we build up to it with: Episodes 1-3: Short, individual origins episodes giving you a quick taste of the backgrounds from where our main adventurers came! Episode 4: The party comes together and is called to adventure! Episodes 5-6: a prologue story that is the deep breath before the major adventure begins! Connect:

Episode 01 [Origins] - A Fungi Too Far
The world of North by North Quest is not a fairy tale or fable, but a complex story with many threads. A coming together of lives at specific times, sometimes in their control and sometimes…not.
We’ll ease you in slowly – how about starting with an adorable little druid named Rosey and her love of nature? Every trip starts somewhere.

Customer Reviews
Definitely would compare to taz and the broadswords
Great podcast and is up there with some of the best dnd actual plays ever. Storytelling is great and characters are awesome. Totally worth listening and to all the creators, you guys are doing a great job
So fun
I have so much fun and listening brings me so much joy. I would only recommend for a older
(13-100000000000000000) audience.
I’d compare this to TAZ and the broads.
I have extremely high standards and this is amazing. I’ve only gotten to Ep5, and I can promise you now I will not regret this review later. If you like the Adventure Zone and/or the Broadswords and/or are a human being with emotions you’ll like this.
(I’m just kidding on the last part pls don’t hate me :P )
