Tales from the Witcher showcases a serialized, original story set in the Witcher universe. Part audiobook and part Actual Play, these tales are written and narrated by Jacob Gerstel—and are based on the adventures of his Witcher tabletop roleplaying group. We’ll follow the exploits of a stoic Bear School witcher, an alcoholic elven sorcerer, a resourceful craftsman, a lively bard, and others as they try to stay alive during the Third Northern War. There’s action and adventure, magic and the mundane, scheming and politics, elves and dwarves, war and peace, and—because it’s the Witcher—a touch of philosophy. New episodes every Wednesday.

Customer Reviews
Love This Show! Easily My Favorite Podcast!
As a massive Witcher fan and an aspiring fantasy writer myself I cannot recommend this series enough. These stories feels so authentic that you couldn’t distinguish them from something written by a licensed company that has rights to The Witcher. If Jacob doesn’t get picked up by CD Projekt Red it will be a huge loss on their part! All that being said I’m sad that the series is ending soon, but I cannot understate how much I’ve enjoyed these stories and characters. I hope Jacob will continue to put his writing out there in some way shape or form!
Cheers!

Highly Recommend!
Awesome perspective and story telling! Highly recommend for any Witcher fans!
Wonderfully paced, great story
As a fan of fantasy settings and roleplaying in general, I am enjoying the antics of the group. The clash of personalities feels organic and the characters feel real and a prt of the world. The story is well paced and enjoyable to listen to as I work or workout or am working on my hobbies. Keep up the good work!
