The Mortal Path

1) A Stormy Start [An Indefinite Inheritance]

Join our three new friends as they start their journey as all good journeys should start: in a cave. But when a mysterious figure gives them a magic map and tells them to stop an oncoming war, Halbane, Sigrun, and Ludicrous must work together to defy danger, spout lore, and create new bonds along the way. The future is bright, indefinite, and full of adventure!

0) Foundations [An Indefinite Inheritance]

Hello and welcome to episode 0 of An Indefinite Inheritance, a very special campaign of Dungeon World GM'd by ed and set in the distant past of Alfallen. Allow Yubi, Kitty, and Gary to introduce you to their weird, wild, and wonderful characters as we get our foundations laid out and discuss classes, moves, and set-up.

This episode is our session 0 and details the nature of this side campaign, important character and world lore, and how little we understand the rules. While it does not include any playing of Dungeon World, we recommend listening to it to better understand the Dungeon World system and what the hell we're doing with it. (Also there's one bit where we accidentally imply that genitals = gender, which we don't believe at all! Apologies for the non-clarification in the episode!)

21) Hunger Awakens

Join our band of merry "heroes" as they navigate the strange Learning Chambers, and the effects of a certain magical item, with newly rescued Kaishu clinging to their sides. But as Taro, Natalia, Nerium, and Findex head back up towards the Archocrypt and Taeshul, something seems off about the kid, and when the group beds down for the night, things take a strange and unsettling turn...

20) The Beating Heart

Join our plucky "heroes" as they dash, dodge, and plummet through the Learning Chambers towards the centre, and home! But life is never as easy as you hope it's going to be, and disappointment mixes with confusion when Natalia, Nerium, Taro, and Findex discover what, or who, has been waiting in the Heart of the Learning Chambers...

19) Into The Darkness

Time is of the essence as our quartet of adventurers have their brains pushed to the limit trying to solve an insidious and deadly puzzle deep in the gloom of the Fallen City. With fortune and some smart thinking on their side, Taro, Nerium, Findex, and Natalia push deeper towards the Heart of the Learning Chambers. Finding themselves at mercy of the strange magic our brave "heroes" discover new aspects to their fellow companions, and contemplate who, or what, is moving the pieces behind the screen...

18) The Learning Chambers

After uncovering more of Dekza's plans, the party strikes out into the unknown and down to the mysterious Learning Chambers. Though still coming to terms with their own powers, all feel the effects of a magic stronger than they've ever known and some take to it better than others. But Natalia, Nerium, Taro, and Findex's journey through the darkness to the Heart is not going to be easy, and the party soon finds itself separated, with two racing against the clock for their lives...

All EDited Out Vol II

Rising once more from the deep, dark vaults of Yubi's laptop we present a very special gift: All EDited Out Vol II. Are you ready for another round of bloopers, outtakes, goofs, wheezing laughter, and just despairingly awful raunchy innuendo?

Boy, we weren't. 

 

17) What Came From Below

Face to face with foe turned friend, our mighty "heroes" make some strange impressions and discover some striking similarities between themselves. But with warnings of danger and pleas for help, Taro, Natalia, Nerium, and Findex must decide whether or not to venture down to the Heart of the Learning Chambers, or leave the Fallen City before it's too late...

16) The Archocrypt

After awakening from their visions, dreams, and meditations our three "heroes" find themselves imbued with renewed strength and several strange gifts. Diving deeper down into the Fallen City Natalia, Nerium, Taro, and Findex discover a way into the Archocrypt and find records of ancient creatures beneath the waves of the ocean this city has teleported from. But as Nerium discovers some new powers the party hear an odd noise from the next room, and realize perhaps they aren't alone down here after all...
