RPG Radio Show

On this show, a group of actors will shape an epic, fantasy tale. Each chapter––every interaction and every combat is improvised. The success or failure of those interactions and combats are determined by dice and the rules of Dungeons and Dragons. Don’t worry, you don’t need to know any of those rules to enjoy the show. Just know that, each character has a specific set of abilities, strengths, weaknesses, and in some cases, powers. Their abilities combined the dice they roll determine their success or failure in each instance. Our adventure takes place in the vast world of Sildume, a planet-spanning continent full of magic, mystery, and adventure. The year is 1147 in the light of Hixnos. Hixnos is the Goddess of Justice and Light. It’s been more than a millennia since the Eclipse War and the formation of the Empire under the High Beacon, Hixnos’s chosen champion and the supreme ruler in Sildume. There is peace, but it is tenuous. A power––long thought banished––grows in the shadows. Unbalance and chaos seek to find stasis…I know how our story starts, but only the characters can decide how it ends.Their words and actions, will alter the fate of Sildume. I am your Host, Daniel Storm. Joining me are actors Andy Kanies, Ben Stonick, Zack McCan and Luke Hatmaker. And now, a few highlights from our show.We strive to create a show that is safe and enjoyable for the whole family. We avoid explicit language and other adult-only content. There are, however, some themes that very young children may find distressing. We recommend parental supervision for children younger than 11. Thanks for checking out our preview for the RPG Radio Show, we hope you’ll join us on this adventure!

EPISODE SUMMARY********************CONTAINS SPOILERS******************* The inhabitants of the quiet town of Wildspring were in mourning. The local priest of Hixnos, murdered. Their holy relic, an amulet, stolen. The bandits responsible retreated to the depths of the Singing Wood, a dense forest alive with the chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects. Maze, passing through on his way southeast, heard the plight of the townsfolk. He resolved to bring justice upon the bandits and retrieve the amulet for them. He believed it was his solemn duty as a follower of Hixnos, the Goddess of Light and Justice.Jacob Elias and Gavin Rettler, two wayward traveling performers, sought to keep their identities hidden as they fled the region. They seemed to have crossed an organization called the Gray Dawn and tried to keep a low profile by disguising themselves as they traveled from tavern to tavern. Despite the threat of bandits on the southbound road through the Singing Wood, they made their way along the Beacon’s Highway. Along that road, Jacob and Gavin stumbled upon a grisly scene. An embattled Maze fell at the feet of three bandits he had been locked in combat with. The two traveling performers seized an opportunity to strike at the bandits. The pair dispatched the remaining bandits and Jacob saved Maze’s life with healing magic. They carried Maze away and found shelter in a clearing not far from road. As the two Moons rose in the sky, they heard the bone-chilling roar of a creature unknown to them and not long after, a nightmarish beast emerged from the treeline. As the fight ensued against the nightmare, a shout from the darkness rang out… 

EPISODE SUMMARY**********************CONTAINS SPOILERS**********************In the depths of the Singing Wood, Gavin, Jacob, and Maze recovered from their skirmish with the murderous bandits. A guttural howl cut through the calm night air, and the three travelers faced off against a nightmarish creature. As they struggled to fend off the monstrosity, a shout cut through the clamor of activity. A cloaked, wiry figure burst into the clearing imploring   them not to harm the creature. The newcomer lured the beast into the nearby pond and with a touch of his hand, turned the surface mirror-smooth. As both the newcomer and the beast began to sink beneath the mirror surface, Maze attempted to rescue the newcomer only to be drawn in himself. As he plunged through the surface and back out again, Maze’s new surroundings astonished him. Unfamiliar fauna and otherworldly flora showed him a world beyond imagining. A forbidden world, deemed blasphemous by the Empire. Maze and the newcomer released the beast back to the Wild and dove into the silver pond’s depths to return to the calm night in Sildume. Upon their return, Gavin, Jacob, and Maze turned on the newcomer full of questions about the dangerous encounter. They continued to question the newcomer, who named himself Dimitri, about his origins and purpose. And about how Maze and Dimitri were only gone for a few seconds, but, according to Gavin and Jacob, were gone for several hours. The four travelers gathered around the campfire and discussed their various destinations. Discovering they were traveling the same direction, resolved to travel together. Before they could embark though, Jacob and Maze decided    to return the recovered amulet to the town of Wildspring. Meanwhile Gavin and Dimitri would tend to the campsite and further discuss the mystery of the Wild…

As Jacob shed more light on the situation, Maze pledged to protect the two wayward performers on their journey south.As they approached the town of Wildspring, Maze and Jacob were accosted by a group of mounted residents. Two of whom, drew bows as a third demanded to know their business. Jacob, ever persuasive, convinced the townsfolk that they spoke the truth, and they sought to return the holy relic to its rightful owners. A sharp tongued Junith Harper thanked Maze and Jacob and ensured they were rewarded for their good deed. As the gathered crowd dispersed, a halfling caught the attention of Jacob. When confronted, the halfling confessed that a group of mysterious, gray cloaked strangers had come through the town not long ago. These gray cloaked men showed the halfling two sketches that depicted Gavin and Jacob. The halfling confirmed he had seen men that resembled the sketches and remembered them heading south. As Maze and Jacob were returning the amulet and receiving the dire news, Gavin and Dimitri sat       tending to the campsite…

But he did not find solitude in the woods as a creeping presence surrounded him. A disembodied voice attempted to coax Dimitri to join her mission to bring destruction to Sildume. Dimitri, stalwart in his convictions, rejected her offer. But not before she threatened to destroy him and his companions should they meddle with one of her creatures again.Hearing a shout from the campsite, Dimitri rushed back to find a  thick and thorny vine attacking Gavin.
