It's a podcast! Yaaaaay!
In which doggo.
Part six of the campaign is now up on Archive.org at Episode 006: There is honour amongst, ah... normal civilians.
Musings on tabletop roleplaying. A mixture of homebrew ideas, observations, and theory discussion; plus occasional reviews, utilities and inspirations. Verbose, amateurish, under-edited, over-written, not especially serious.

Podcast: Hell's Rebels, part 5
There is no escape; I have released another podcast episode. We just have to get through this together.
Having heroically rescued a guy who'd already fought off his attackers, our heroes go to a bookshop. Sadly that isn't all they do, no matter how much my character would have liked it to be.
Part five of the campaign is now up on Archive.org at Episode 005: By our powers combined.
This recording is a bit odd, and our GM in particular sometimes sound like he's underwater. I don't know why, but hopefully it isn't too annoying.

A slight frown creased Harknorth's brow as she gazed down at her work, a sign of immense concentration and mild irritation. She reached up to tuck a stray wisp of hair back under her cap, accidentally painting a black line across her left cheek in the process. Ignoring this frankly irrelevant detail, she dipped her pen once more in the inkwell at her belt, held the papyrus down with her right thumb, and painstakingly inscribed a collection of arcane syllables potent enough to melt a rhinoceros where it stood. Not that she had any intention of doing such a thing. Where would she even find a rhinoceros at this time of year? They'd long since started their annual westward migration.
She paused to scatter a handful of chalk dust to dry the ink. It always reminded her of flour, of childhood surrounded by the creaking of the mill and the tireless circling of sails. Wonderful stuff, flour; you could do practically anything with it, if you knew how, turning feather-soft dust to bread or glue, cleaning copper, repelling ants, even treating skin disease, all through the humble alchemy of the hearth. Her parents said it was like a child, unformed and capable of anything, and looked at her with warm pride. They had high hopes for her, and so did she.
The young wizard bent low over her tome as a breeze rustled through the grass, bringing the scent of woodsmoke. A faint scratching filled the air as her pen danced across the papyrus, forming knots and glyphs with the ease of long practice. It was, all things considered, a nice afternoon to be out in the sun. The pile of debris she was sitting on was largely free of shrapnel, and the slight overhang of the grassy bank behind her helped to deflect the roiling bursts of ice and lightning that sporadically erupted nearby. Speaking of which, Harknorth paused for a moment as a minor divination tripped. She clutched the tome to her body and leaned over to the right as a wash of turquoise flame flowed over the top, reducing grass to ash and scorching the bare earth before winking out.
When the Cranemount 4th Regiment held a live fire exercise, they clung to literalism with the same tenacity they showed in battle.

Podcast: Hell's Rebels, part 4
QUIVER, MORTALS, for the next episode of our podcast IS NIGH!
Honestly, I've completely forgotten what happened in this one, so, uh... hope it was good. Shenanigans, certainly. Rolling really terribly is also a good bet.
Part four of the campaign is now up on Archive.org at Episode 004: Personal Snot Monster .
Since getting a new laptop, I've been having major issues with uploading. My internet tends to stick every so often, and either actually disconnect or think it's disconnected. If I'm not keeping a gimlet eye on the business to hastily disconnect and reconnect before anything times out, I end up having to try the whole upload again, which is obviously a huge pain. If anyone has suggestions for what might be up I'd be glad to hear it! My ISP hasn't changed so I don't think it can be that...
