    Against the Shadows - Episode 0

    Our session zero for the listener, introduces the players, discusses themes and trigger warnings. No gameplay, but skip at your own risk. This adventure has horror themes, goes dark places, references adult themes and has a lot of swears. Additionally, we include elements from both traditional fantasy and the Elder Mythos, each of which has a history that includes problems worth addressing.

    Episode 1 - Part 1

    The adventure begins, again. Five misfits and unlikely heroes gather against the shadows - seemingly bound by some invisible fate or perhaps just the power of found family. But can they stand against the growing and unseen malevolence that threatens that land of Sotrea? The dark mystery has only begun to unravel, but whether our protagonists will still have their sanity or their lives by the end is yet to been seen. - MZRH_DRMS Content Warnings: Body Horror, Gore, Strong Language, Violence We're playing Pathfinder 2nd Edition (copyright Paizo Inc.), characters are 5th level in this episode.

  3. Episode 3

    Episode 1 - Part 2

    The adventure begins, again, again. The misfit heroes regroup to recover and discuss recent events and their connection to the events of their last mission, which took place north of the town of Yoren's Ford. But each is haunted by their past, as something seems to pull them back towards the east... the direction of the infamous Badlands. - TMNK_AER Content Warnings: Alcohol, Body Horror, Strong Language We're playing Pathfinder 2nd Edition (copyright Paizo Inc.), characters are 5th level in this episode.

  4. Episode 4

    Episode 1 - Part 3

    An important meeting and a potential job offer from a powerful individual. Nothing has more strings attached than a gift and there's quite a few interested parties - not all of which our protagonists are aware of. But the heroes are united under a new adventuring party name and have a new, hopefully simple yet lucrative mission. The question is, will the job take them to the Badlands? Place your bets now...
