An actual play podcast in which old friends get together to tell strange stories. Dice are involved.

In season one, The Old Bones, we follow an obsessive technophile and her crew of alien misfits--a bodyguard with a checkered past; a feline warrior and reluctant heretic; a disgraced lawyer bound to a mysterious mech; and a financial instrument with a mind of her own--as they explore the universe in search of purpose and profit, aboard an ancient starship with secrets of its own.

    [Gallows Hill 02] Items Left by a Previous Tenant

    Come buy our orchard fruits,
    Come buy, come buy:
    Apples and quinces,
    Lemons and oranges,
    Plump unpeck’d cherries,
    Melons and raspberries,
    Bloom-down-cheek’d peaches,
    Swart-headed mulberries,
    Wild free-born cranberries,
    Crab-apples, dewberries,
    Pine-apples, blackberries,
    Apricots, strawberries;—
    All ripe together
    In summer weather,—
    Morns that pass by,
    Fair eves that fly
