    Ep. 3-6 — Dunes

    You hear it subtly at first: a whisper, nay— a near harmony whispering across the desert sands. It's an episode of Initiative Role, recorded so long ago nobody even knows what it's about. Sorry, folks. This one was in editing for a long time while the holidays were in swing. In this episode: Desert Critters; Marco Polo's Journal; Adventure Loop Follow us at @initiative_role on Twitter and @initiative_role on Instagram.

    Ep. 3-5 — Crypt

    Look. We know we did a bad thing, okay? This episode of Initiative Role was technically recorded right after the Thanksgiving season, when we thought we'd reliably be able to produce content while also finishing our finals for school. And admittedly, we were struck down for our hubris. Now, our podcast-less bodies tumble to the earth, ready to be received to the dust we came from. In this episode: The art of human decomposition; A guide to the undead; The Endless Graveyard Content Warning: We deep dive the science of death on this one. If you have a hard time with themes of death or get sick thinking about the breakdown of corpses, this is a good one to miss.

    Ep. 3-4 — Cosmos

    Howdy, y'all! It's me, space cowboy Logan, here to tell you all about the newest episode of Initiative Role, where we discuss how to do Dungeons and Dragons and outer space at the same time! I'm not really a space cowboy. I'm sorry to deceive the public like this. In this episode: Logan rips into Star Wars; Setpiece usage; Tangled Up in Bluth; Doctor Who?; Star Zack's Deep Space Diner and Burger Joint.

    Special — Last HallowThanksMas

    Hey folks! Due to an unforeseen file corruption, we took a minute to get this re-exported and uploaded, but here it is! Recorded away from our regular soundstage (sorry bout the audio quality) and out of sync with the rest of the season, this episode is a special reflection on our last year! Hope you enjoy it, but honestly, if it's unendurable, don't feel bad skipping this one. Thanks for your support! Follow us at @initiative_role on Twitter and @initiative_role on Instagram.

    Ep. 3-3 — Below

    Soundstage 2 is still without power, and it's also under threat of extinction. But we're talking about caves and the Underdark in this one, so if there's a time to record in the darkness, I guess this is probably it. In this episode: Audio crimes by Nathaniel Johnson; Cave Spiders; Moldy molds; Hang tight to the ceiling; Things that live beneath; "Just be an elf"; The Hunting Grounds.

    Ep. 3-2 — Fang

    This spooky spooky episode of Initiative Role is brought to you from the deep dark caverns of Soundstage 2. Yep. We recorded this one in the dark, which is why it took so long to edit. We needed to find an audio editor that supported dark mode. In this episode: Vampyr Origins; Some creepy werewolf noise; Playing a monster; Vampire Boy Band; We stan a legend Follow us at @initiative_role on Twitter and @initiative_role on Instagram.

    Ep. 3-1 — Moor & Fen

    Welcome to the spooky swamps of Initiative Role season 3! In this brand new take of our classic formula, we— you know what, just listen to the episode. In this one: Swamps; Bugs; Spooky Hags; A Wild Snake; Some Trees; Moss; and a little bit of Monster of the Week. Follow us at @initiative_role on Twitter and @initiative_role on Instagram. Special thanks to Brian Altano and Weird Heat for the use of their tracks "Fear" and "Isolation", which we use during Monster of the Week at the end of the show. Find the .mp3 file here.

    Ep. 2-11 — The One With No Jokes

    Greetings, Traveler! I have been informed that, regrettably, there are no jokes on the episode tonight. Not even one solitary bit of wordplay with which my mean pen could grace the edges of this post. Alas, Nathaniel has said that indeed there are none, a fact he surely discovered as he edited the podcast. Those of you who come to the show exclusively for Logan's trademark wit will undoubtedly be sorely disappointed; yea, perhaps even ashamed by his performance in this, the greatest of podcasting tragedies. My sincerest apologies, refunds will be issued at the door. In this episode: We speak and muse about the planar sky, The earthly world and all our knowledge of The planes, both deep beneath and high above. But forsooth! It seems the japes have died. But sorrow not, nor let your hearts feel dread; You may create your own within your mind. This sonnet may your heart's deep wounds now bind: You're free to write your own goofs in your head.

Special thanks to Brian Altano and Weird Heat for the use of their tracks "Fear" and "Isolation", which we use during Monster of the Week at the end of the show. Find the .mp3 file here.
