Our Power Is Out: A Role Playing Podcast

With the funeral behind them, now our heroes can get back to work on hunting down this Chosen and -- wait, where's Moondrop? Oh, Gods, not again. Worry not, however, fair listeners. This troupe of heroes is definitely the team to call on when your friendly neighborhood dragon child shows up. Definitely won't get sidetracked whatsoever.    DM: Kristen Ippolito Players: Patrick Flood Jack Manning  Jess Juan-Aquino   Theme Song is "Fall" by Ross Bugden Background Music by Sword Coast Soundscapes Cover Art by Vincent Marcellino

After being trapped in a hellish limbo by forces not of their world, our heroes are back at it. To get back into the swing of things, the group decides to do what they're just the absolute worst at, navigating politics and researching their deepest fears. Which of Sebastian's childhood acquaintances will turn out to be horrible kin-slayers next? Is Robin hiding something from the rest of the team? Will Uthoian be torn asunder by a horde of devilish fairies? The answers are a mystery to all... (Answers: 1.All of them, it's probably all of them. 2.I don't know but I'm pretty sure it's a yes. 3.Of course, every single night in his dreams, and probably in real life soon too.)   DM: Kristen Ippolito Players: Patrick Flood Jack Manning  Jess Juan-Aquino   Theme Song is "Fall" by Ross Bugden Background Music by Sword Coast Soundscapes Cover Art by Vincent Marcellino

1985, Maine. "According to police, inroads are still being made into the case of four murdered teens from the small town of Mason's Bay. Witnesses have reported increased police activity in an apparent cavern system beneath the scene of the crime, and just last night gunshots were reported from the area. An anonymous source has informed us that in addition to federal support, two locals are also involved in the case, one child reporter and an herbalist from the area. It is as of now unknown if they are suspects or witnesses, but either way, they're quite a motley crew. You're listening to WPIO radio. Next up, Motley Crue, Shout at the Devil"   DM: Patrick Flood (@uninvitedhaggis, Our Power Is Out: A Role Playing Podcast, @OurPowerPodcast) Players: Tom As Nadeem Nodan (@Bourguit, Sea Dogs Podcast, @SeaDogsPodcast) Mat As Agent Calvin Shafer (@Witty_Mat, The Stranger Lands, @StrangerLands) Ryan As 'Gizmo' (Erretall: A D&D Podcast, https://erretall.podbean.com/)

1985, Maine. This just in, the small town of Mason's Bay mourns today after police discovered the bodies of four teens murdered in a house on the edge of town. Reports indicate that the FBI has taken an interest in the investigation. While details are being withheld for the time being, citizens are encouraged to report any information they may have to the Mason's Bay Sheriff's Department. We'll keep you up to date on developments as they arrive.   DM: Patrick Flood (@uninvitedhaggis, Our Power Is Out: A Role Playing Podcast, @OurPowerPodcast) Players: Tom As Nadeem Nodan (@Bourguit, Sea Dogs Podcast, @SeaDogsPodcast) Mat As Agent Calvin Shafer (@Witty_Mat, The Stranger Lands, @StrangerLands) Ryan As 'Gizmo' (Erretall: A D&D Podcast, https://erretall.podbean.com/)

With the connection to the goddess Juliet all but severed and possible further danger on the horizon, our heroes must ride once more unto the breach. As the princess sends them on a special mission, will they be able to stay the course and find the next Chosen? Or, perhaps, will they all get eaten by fairies?  I'm betting on the latter. You guys seen Hellboy 2? Those fairies can be real nasty.   DM: Kristen Ippolito Players: Patrick Flood Jack Manning  Jess Juan-Aquino   Theme Song is "Fall" by Ross Bugden Background Music by Sword Coast Soundscapes Cover Art by Vincent Marcellino

As our heroes head towards the forest island of Arden, we take a look back at the past of one in particular, Uthoian Darksbane, and how he came to be acquanted with the magical isle. Join us as we experience Yu's childhood, diving into his relationship with the Orobek siblings, Portia and Bassanio, and how he happened to screw everything up, even at such a young age. Par for the course honestly.  Get ready folks, it's about to get real Bridge-To-Terabithia-y in here. DM: Kristen Ippolito Players: Patrick Flood with a guest appearance by a sense of childhood whimsy that slowly gives way to a creeping dread.   Theme Song is "Fall" by Ross Bugden Background Music by Sword Coast Soundscapes Cover Art by Vincent Marcellino

Now, with the festival day of the Goddess Rosalind upon them, our heroes are trying to piece together the danger that faces the Capitol. Surely, all is doomed if they can't figure out the arcane trickery at hand.  Or they're a bunch of worry-worts who should honestly take a chill pill. Stick around after this episode for a special post credits scene! That's right, we're going MCU in this place. Cover art credit: Vincent Marcellino, @VincenzoNova on twitter, instagram. DM Kristen Ippolito Players Jack Manning Jess Juan-Aquino Patrick Flood  

Enjoying their time off from any major crises in the land of Ordamar, the party continues to go about their own business, cavorting with love interests, or spending time with family, or, in some cases, spending a night wandering through the woods in search of a bunch of elves. As tensions fall, things start to come out. But will all these revelations create even more problems, or is there something else afoot behind the scenes?   DM: Kristen Ippolito Players:  Patrick Flood Jess Juan-Aquino Jack Manning

Welcome back, friends, to the world of Lunamar. With Morden now safe and another apocalypse averted, we rejoin our heroes as they return to the Capital to meet with the Princess and find their next course of action. That is, of course, if they have a course of action to follow. This week, our heroes meet with some friends and, well, honestly, dredge up some serious relationship memories. The ships are a'sailing, folks, all aboard.   DM: Kristen Ippolito Players: Jack Manning Jess Juan-Aquino Patrick Flood

With the Frost Dragon Lumicke banished, and the dire conspirators defeated, all that is left for our heroes is to tie up loose ends and set sail back for the Capital. Of course, that's if they can actually figure out the reason they were sent to Morden in the first place. Can they figure it out? Can they track down the rest of Robin's family? Will they be smote by an angry deity? Can Kristen possibly manage to get this troupe of fools back on track? We'll have to see.   DM: Kristen Ippolito   Players:Jack Manning Patrick Flood Jess Juan-Aquino

The tides of fate close in on our heroes as Morden's ancient prophecy comes into fruition. As Robin tries to escape from her family's estate, and Sebastian and Uthoian trudge through the forest in the dead of Summer-Winter, they must reunite to pose any chance of preventing the Ice-pocalypse. What killed the Dinosaurs? Let's find out.   DM:  Kristen Ippolito Players: Patrick Flood Jack Manning Jess Juan-Aquino

With Robin locked away in jail, and the deadline for the snow-pocalypse approaching rapidly, the team is once again left chasing after possible leads to help them regroup. However, as our heroes search for a way to circumvent prophecy, sinister machinations work against them, and they've got a hell of a fight before them. Also Robin definitely has a deathwish. Like, Anakin Skywalker levels of hubris going on here.   DM Kristen Ippolito   Players Patrick Flood Jess Juan-Aquino Jack Manning

With our Heroes within the Hawksworth Manor, can they uncover what affliction faces Robin's former ward? To be honest, yeah, probably. Whether they can treat that ailment is an entirely different question. The only other thing that is sure is that they will absolutely bungle something simple and make their lives a hundred times more difficult than necessary, but I have faith they'll push through.    GM: Kristen Ippolito Players: Jack Manning Jess Juan-Aquino Patrick Flood

As our heroes try to unravel the mystery behind Morden's untimely winter storms, Robin's past, and the mysterious sickness, further dangers conspire against them. How much more awaits? Gargoyles? Ghosts? More harmonica music? The very thought terrifies...   DM: Kristen Ippolito Players: Jack Manning Jess Juan-Aquino Patrick Flood 

Robin is home again. She's got a long history here, almost none of which is known with her companions. So what happened all those years ago? What forged our friendly bard? What is her connection to the mysterious criminal group in Morden? Why, for the love of all the Gods, does she have such an affinity for bluegrass? Together, let's find out.  _________________ This is the first of our single character episodes exploring the backstories of our cast.  DM: Kristen Ippolito Player: Jess Juan-Aquino

After having cornered spice dealer Eddio Brice, our three Jedi encounter more and more strange things across the planet of Avastal. As they investigate the disappearance of Beau's master and the renegade Jedi, Missk, dark things are uncovered, and some very dangerous foes are revealed. ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ GM: Patrick Flood Players: Kristen Ippolito Jack Manning Alec Cummings

Our heroes finally make their way to the city of Morden, but something awaits there they are not prepared for. As nature turns against them and prophecy heads toward fruition, Robin must face an aspect of her past she had left behind long ago. Who is a friend? Who is a foe? Who will sleep in the giant heart shaped bed in the inn? Questions arise once more in this latest episode.  Also, stick around after the end for a special new segment! DM: Kristen Ippolito Players: Patrick Flood Jack Manning Jess Juan-Aquino

After arriving back in the Capitol of Ordamar, the team is pleased to be above ground for some R&R. However, the world ending conspiracy stops for no one, and soon the Princess will call upon them with yet another quest. In the meantime, our heroes must come together and deal with perhaps the most terrible foe they've ever faced. An Evening at Toby's Tavern.   DM: Kristen Ippolito Players: Jess Juan-Aquino Jack Manning Patrick Flood

With the ordeal of the dwarven caverns done with, our heroes have finally emerged into the city of the Battlehammer clan. It's all mead and sausages from here on out, team. Definitely nothing lying ahead that could put us in any harm, so this will be a chill day.   What do you mean "the title"? I guess you'll just have to listen to see!   GM: Kristen Ippolito Players: Jack Manning Jess Juan-Aquino Patrick Flood

It seems like our heroes are almost through the dungeon, but a few dangers are still looming. With puzzles, battles, and parenting difficulties in their way, will our lovable band be able to push through the final run to the dwarven city? Oh, the parenting difficulties? Yeah, didn't you know this is a parenting podcast now? We may just end up changing our name to "What to Expect When You're Expecting Your Child to Turn Into a Giant Wyrm". Maybe not, it doesn't roll off the tongue too well. Oh, well. Hope you guys enjoy! P.S. Jack lost his audio for a good 20 minutes of podcast so if anything seems weird to you guys during the first half, that's why   DM: Kristen Ippolito Players: Patrick Flood Jack Manning Jess Juan-Aquino

A Long Time Ago, In A Galaxy Far, Far Away... Join three Jedi as they struggle to survive on the harsh city-planet of Avastal. Danger lurks around every corner, be it salt dealers, traffickers, second hand death stick smoke, or not being able to name their characters. In order for them to succeed in their goal, they must find balance within themselves and work with brutal criminal syndicates that rule over the planet. Will they be able to maintain the Jedi Path among all this scum and villainy?  If this episode is any indication, signs point to no. DM: Patrick Flood Players: Kristen Ippolito Jack Manning Alec Cummings  

With last week's tale ending in a dire warning from Viola, the team moves on again with renewed vigor. Will they make it to the end of this confounding dwarven labyrinth? Probably not in this episode, but there's more to be dealt with now, as the magics holding together the ruins seems to be fluctuating dangerously, and there just might be something stalking our heroes through these long forgotten halls...   DM: Kristen Ippolito   Players Patrick Flood Jess Juan-Aquino Jack Manning

Once again, we follow our heroes into the dwarven caverns, adamant in their desire to find the dwarves and complete their mission. But if they get to escape the giant ants as well, hey, two birds and whatnot. As our heroes progress deeper underground, the labyrinth continues to vex and befuddle, but with danger all around, are we any closer to the end? DM: Kristen Ippolito   Players: Patrick Flood  Jack Manning  Jess Juan-Aquino  With a special appearance from Regis Philbin and the cast of Glee

Our heroes continue their trek through the dark dungeons of the dwarves. Slowly but steadily, they make progress, but what will prove the most dangerous to them; the ancient traps, the deadly creatures who live here,their own hubris, or the crumbling ancient dwarven infrastructure?  I mean, the ants will probably murder them in their sleep but the dwarves really need to send some fantasy engineers down here, these tunnels are a mess! DM: Kristen Ippolito   Players: Patrick Flood  Jack Manning Jess Juan-Aquino

As our heroes continue their trek into the dwarven ruins, they have to face their fears and deal with growing party tension. Surely this couldn't be exacerbated by the tight dark corridors of an ancient long forgotten mine, right? Well, regardless, our heroes have to make their way through to discover the secret behind the sudden disappearance of a dwarven clan. Join us once more for an episode ripe with Geodudes, Sausages, and just the worst things in the world. Wait, are you guys worried about Robin? Don't worry, I'm sure it'll all turn out fine. GM: Kristen Ippolito Players: Jack Manning Jess Juan-Aquino Patrick Flood  

And we're back! With the first arc wrapped up, its time for us to delve deep down into the dungeons of the dwarves! With a new correspondence reaching the Lambsey estate, the crew is dispatched to try to make contact with the dwarves and decipher their message. That is, if they don't all die out of spite or stupidity. We'll see!    GM: Kristen Ippolito Players:Patrick Flood Jack Manning Jess Juan-Aquino

The first arc is almost over, friends! With Viola found and a suspect on the run, another interrogation has to take place to figure out the answer behind the mystery. Don't worry, though, Uthoian isn't doing this one. Join our Heroes for the finale of the first arc! It's time for accusations, clever ruses, reveals, and revenge!   DM: Kristen Ippolito Players: Patrick Flood Jack Manning Jess Juan-Aquino

The first arc is wrapping up, friends! Our heroes have found Sebastian's sister and gotten her to wake up (after a bit of an ordeal).

Oh boy, can you wait to hear us think about explaining inside jokes and then not doing so? I bet you can't! In this episode: Kristen Ippolito (@kris_lito) Patrick Flood (@uninvited_haggis)

Join our heroes once again as they meet with Hierarch Alcadias, One again visit Toby's Pub, and track down the final pieces to the puzzle they've been struggling to solve.

The turmoil of the world coming to an end is still in full swing.   GM: Kristen Ippolito   Players:Patrick Flood Jack Manning Jess Juan-Aquino

Picking up from right at the end of episode 6, our heroes spend a little bit a time going over what happened earlier that day, then go to visit the Orobeck Manor to investigate the disappearance of Sebastian's twin, Viola. What horrors will they uncover? Has our dragon friend been lying to us? And what revelation will change the entire investigation? Find out in Episode 7, now with less hurdy-gurdy music.   Oh yeah and something might come up with the main plot too, but who cares about that, yeesh.   GM: Kristen Ippolito Players:Patrick Flood Jess Juan-Aquino Jack Manning

Welcome to Our Power Is Out! In this campaign, join us as we travel through the Shakespeare inspired world of Lunamar.
