Can they save him from the beasts about to strike, or will they fight for their lives inside this killer thriller tonight? Halexan dances with the dead, Ront tries to be as silent as the grave, Conall is currently still ghosting the group (much love to Gerald), Azazel's barrel-tossing has all the ghouls aghast, and Sav'ah Rah gives quite the fiery sermon.

Bonus Guest! Jeremiah's character finally makes his appearance, and its arguably one of the funniest moments we've ever had on the show!

The SpellCast D&D brings you a saga of high adventure! Join Adam Brooks (Dungeon Master/Storyteller), Pierre Viola (Ront Havenfair), Mike Vides (Halexan Wynalder), Gerald Acevedo (Conall Pending), Charlotte Raines (Sav'ah Rah Vicarro), and Sam Ortiz (Azazel Makeus) as they navigate a perilous homebrew Faerun setting!

Episode 29: The Summit of All Fears - The Scout About Jun 04, 2018

It is a generally accepted fact that to go into a situation with zero intel is probably suicide. It is also generally accepted that splitting the party to do a reconnaissance mission to gather intel deep in enemy-occupied territory without sufficient training or stealthy equipment (need we also mention “robot death squads?”) is also probably suicide. Sav’ah Rah plans a performance, Halexan gets a Shield of Shield of Faith, Ront’s rock shard experiences some technical difficulties, Conall disappears to do his own scouting (Gerald couldn’t make it for the next session which starts at the second half of this episode), and Azazel learns about the “constructimatronics” that were at Rufus Ruffpuppy’s.

Bonus Guest! Jeremiah, Mike’s son, joins us in the second half to play "the most average guy in all the land" and goof around with friends and family in a very special session of The SpellCast!

Episode 28: The Summit of All Fears - Force of Great Magnitude May 21, 2018

Sometimes the best moments in a game occur when the players understand, with no mistake, the extreme gravity of a situation, yet their characters can only see about a foot down the rabbit hole. Please listen and enjoy as both sets of personas discover the most...let’s say, “critical” feature of the Summit of All Fears. Azazel gets a mission update, Sav’ah Rah and Sonny find common ground, Halexan plans the group’s next step, Ront solves a terrifying math problem, and Conall crafts up some theories.

Episode 27: The Summit of All Fears - You Translate, and I'll Wave the Sword Around May 07, 2018

Happy One-Year Anniversary to us! Pop the champagne folks, we made it! Oh, but don’t be TOO loud, that battalion might still be around. Speaking of, our champions are nursing the wounds they gained at the hands of said mechanized militia and are plotting their next move! Hopefully it will yield better (healthier) results. Conall takes the strategic lead this episode, Azazel observes a VERY SERIOUS teen discussion, Sav’ah Rah learns a new language, Halexan teaches a Dwarf some manners, and Ront starts a semi-long-distance relationship.

Episode 26: The Summit of All Fears - Hitting Rock Bottom Apr 23, 2018

The mountain rumbles again in the witching hours of the morning, and it's not just because of the incessant hammering in the distance! It appears the party has alerted a viper's nest of constructs to their location, and they've come marching in. Unless our heroes want to abruptly end their adventure, they'd better play this one close to the chest. Ront throws thunderstones like his life depends on it, Conall gains a level in pincushion, Azazel flings herself into the thick of things, Sav'ah Rah fight fire (resistance) with MOAR FIAR, and Halexan prioritizes flumph protection.

Episode 25: The Summit of All Fears - Disturbing the Dirt Apr 09, 2018

With introductions behind them, our party and their Sentinel allies can get on with their investigative spelunking! Before they can complete their search and rescue mission, though, they'll have to deal with some unexpected urban adventuring, some new allies, and (because it wouldn't be a gripping game of D&D without them) some new enemies! Halexan takes point and converses with the natives, Ront practices his cartography, Conall throws caution to the wind with his bow, Azazel revives the time-honored tradition of using the combat roll as a standard mode of transportation, and Sav'ah Rah finds what she's been searching for...kind of...

Episode 24: The Summit of All Fears - Road to "F&$%-Off Mountain" Mar 26, 2018

Say what you will about teenagers who just magically turned into...slightly older teenagers, they guess, but they can be surprisingly effective in preparing for a mountain expedition! Is it going to be all campfire stories and fantasy s'mores? What with a couple of wrenches thrown into the works, we highly doubt it. Sav'ah Rah works out some aggression, Halexan taps into some hidden organizational skills, Ront learns more "fun" and "interesting" facts about the Wild Magic Boulder, Conall names a mule (trust us, it's worth it), and Azazel drops in to join the party!

Episode 23: Old and New Acquaintances Mar 12, 2018

It's just one bad break after another for the party as their second downtime becomes fraught with even more frenetic energy than the one they had before they left for the island! First it was Halexan's astral "phone call" from "dad," then it was the disturbance at the docks, and now they've got a meeting with their guild's boss. All this, AND they STILL have to GO on ANOTHER quest TONIGHT! Conall runs into a stock problem in the market district, Tessa joins us for one final session, Sav'ah Rah receives an unwelcome surprise, Halexan prepares to contain a fiery situation, and Ront has another belated fanboy moment.

Welcome ho--! Oh...oh no. It seems like something's rotten in the city of Baldur's Gate, and we don't just mean the produce being tossed at the boat. The gang comes back to a whirlwind of developments, briefings, and surfacing societal issues. Ront plays pen-pals via sparrow, Conall gets a new nautical toy, Sav'ah Rah learns how to read a crowd, and Halexan seems to have made a name for himself.

Episode 21: A Break in the Bowline Feb 12, 2018

Holy SHIP! The BUOYS and girls are finally leaving the island! I'm SHORE that it'll be just a normal trip with a calm ocean where nothing could possibly go awry! ...Ha, YAWL know we're TRAWLING (Sorry. There's too many opporTUNAties for puns. Just look at the TIDAL. We had to KARPe DM...SEAS the day... okay, I'll stop). Sav'ah Rah has a pinch of jealousy, but finds the best bedroom ever, Ront plays boat-dad and puts the Historian feat through it's paces, Halexan cannonballs through one maelstrom of an out-of-body experience, Tessa takes a break as Elle sits out for this session, and Conall gets drunk in the crow's nest because what else would you expect him to do?

Episode 20: Dino Island (Trademark Revoked) - Soakosh Bagosh Jan 29, 2018

It's a rumble in the jungle folks! In this corner: a rag-tag crew of teenaged heroes, deinonychus mounts, and one interplanar field agent. In the other corner: a Yuan-ti Mind Whisperer with a scorpion ballista and his two armored allosaurus pets! The hostilities have begun, and our combatants are just getting warmed up! Conall answers a very important sending stone call, Sav'ah Rah gathers everyone around for a pow wow, Ront rolls some Wild-Magic roulette, Tessa holds for just the right moment, and Halexan just keep carving with the khopesh!

Episode 19: Dino Island (Trademark Revoked) - NOW They Fight Dinosaurs Jan 15, 2018

Our heroes' quest to restore the balance of nature on the island has led them back to the park and right into the claws of a classic "clever girl" ambush. They have their objective in sight and the correct MacGuffin to finish the job! Can they survive the final leg, or are they all "Muldoon for?" Halexan joins the local dino-rodeo, Conall becomes the center of the worst kind of attention, Sav'ah Rah has the best plan that nobody follows, Ront brings book smarts to the battlefield, and Tessa channels her inner Dinosaur Whisperer.

Episode 18: Secrets of the Sunken Temple - Return to Dino Island Jan 01, 2018

Finally. No more temple. Temple run=temple done...but what will the gang find in the final room? The meaning of life? Their deaths? Six giant squirrels with a headdress, a robe, and a ring of levitation? There's no time to explain! Not with dinosaurs running amok! Tessa is a bubble-bear, Ront quantifies his mortality, Sav'ah Rah discovers rocket propulsion, Halexan wants Roland to tag along, and Conall can't ranger today.

Episode 17: Secrets of the Sunken Temple - It's BONAGAS! B-O-N-A-G-A-S! Dec 18, 2017

What's worse than finding out there's an inter-deity conspiracy going on? Arguably, the answer is not 'fighting a large, evil, magical snake made of bones,' but try telling that to this crew! It's finally time to face the final challenge this temple has to offer. Sav'ah Rah wants to burn, baby, burn (disco inferno), Tessa gets on the floor (and walks the dinosaur), Conall has a shocking revelation, Halexan puts his maneuvers to good use, and Ront has a paladin problem.

Our heroes finally get some answers to all of this temple business...and then they end up with more questions than what they started with. It's one step forward and two steps back this time on The Sentinel Saga, and the crew can't afford to make many mistakes here in the final tier of the temple. Halexan feels a little better about Bartholomew, Ront gets a whiff of the good stuff, Tessa meets a friend from an entirely different gaming universe, Sav'ah Rah hears news about her sister, and Conall is itching for a fight. Oh, and everybody gets a gift! Happy Holidays!

Episode 15: Secrets of the Sunken Temple - Tomb of Doom and Gloom Nov 20, 2017

So, it seems the party has finally stumbled upon the actual "tomb" tier of the pyramid. Will they pass unscathed, or will it have them crying for their mummies? I guess they'll just have to spin to win. Tessa asks the important plot questions, Conall plays with ALL the traps, Ront...can NOT move faster than an arrow, Halexan does some coffin inspection, and Sav'ah Rah struggles with pyromania.

Let’s wrap-up the third tier, shall we? The gang needs a rest and a little time to examine these weird prisms. I hope they get a good night’s sleep, because the tier four might give them more than just a few nightmares! Sav’ah Rah has to confront her past, Tessa has a whole session’s worth of bright ideas, Conall can’t breathe without discovering something potentially deadly, Halexan remains wary of Bartholomew and crew, and Ront has trouble accepting tropes.

The SideCast: The Eyes that Slumber Ep 1 - Magical Mythos Tour Oct 31, 2017

The cast of The SpellCast D&D takes a psychedelic trip to Northern England at the predawn of the Swinging Sixties. Get ready for a bit of free-Lovecraft in our first SideCast! Mike is in the DM seat for this home-brew Call of Cthulhu one-shot using the Wanton Roleplaying (WaRP) System.

A storm-front descends upon a deserted country road where a motley trio of "investigators" are driving for the Scottish border. Elion is out of time (in more ways than one...), Scarlette interrupts a pagan rite with a therapeutic intervention, and Leonard sees something even an altered state of consciousness can't explain...

Episode 13: Secrets of the Sunken Temple - The Power is On! Oct 23, 2017

The party is about to find that there's definitely more to the purpose of this temple than what the chieftain said about stopping the herds and packs of rampaging dinosaurs on the island. Let's hope Yuultat even got that part right! Garront the Gecko's amnesia isn't putting the heroes' minds at ease, either. Ront operates all of the heavy machinery, Tessa wants to crack some heads, Sav'ah Rah takes a tumble, Halexan gets the wind knocked out of him, and Conall's off being Conall Pending, Tomb Ranger, as Gerald sits out for a session.

Which one are we going to hear about today? Pay attention, because the knowledge of the secrets could bring you a step (or a tier) closer to the truth! Halexan makes a new little friend of his own, Ront collects many samples, Tessa makes a naughty dice corner, curiosity almost kills the Conall, and Sav’ah Rah makes a fiery entrance.

This is the way Jidainkle's newest business venture ends. Not with a bang but many cacophonous roars.

What new dangers await them? Tessa makes a new friend, Halexan starts a cult (maybe?), Conall "translates," and Ront still has magic boulders on the brain.

Ront accidentally multiclasses into sorcerer (with explosive results), Halexan geeks out on the tour, Tessa brings it all to bear, and Conall…is…wait, where is Conall?

The gang rolls initiative (finally)! It’s high-noon in the middle of the night at the Ramen Ranch, and the constructamatronics have got itchy…uh…banjolin fingers? I don’t know, it’s the fight episode. Ront forgets he’s a half-orc, Hal’s ready to wok and roll, and Conall bravely runs away to get help. Also, Adam can’t keep his NPC names straight this time around, and he’s (I’m) really sorry about that.

Conall gets in touch with his inner-child, Halexan gets a good look at the insides of the constructamatronics (why not), and Ront takes refuge in the break room to act as the eyes and ears for the night shift.
