Swords Against Madness - Episode 10: The Lady Who Fell from the Sky

A summary of the first 10 episodes of Swords Against Madness. Miria, a space-faring smuggler crash-lands on the world of Orbus, near the Island of Nar. Nar is a poor former colony of a failed Oligarchy full of conflict between its two religions, and is plagued by seeming indestructible monsters. Miria steps right into the conflict by giving them the holy words she guessed had been engineered into the Island's older faith by star-faring criminals, and thanks to horrible radiation poisoning, finds herself racing against time to fulfill a prophecy, hunt down an old space pirate associate, end the clash between faiths, and slay monsters, with the help of a pair of teen-aged misfits.

This podcast is awesome! If you too miss the science fantasy of old D&D settings, Swords comes through - adding just enough spaceship flying futuristic fun to keep things interesting. Love it. Side note: if you get tired of voicing all those characters, there’s plenty of us out here willing to help out. Keep up the great work!
