Flight of the Icaron: Episode 2 - Shots Fired Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

The clink of champagne glasses and gala formalwear gives way to gunfire and chaos aboard the Icaron. With authority fractured and information scarce - who ends up on the right side of this conflict, who is written off as collateral, and what those decisions cost will shape everything to come.

Interlude: Alf Gappen Was Here Dec 09, 2025

Show notes

In the frozen hills of Rhuv, the Sigrunsgjalfi Children’s Home sits silent beneath a sky of unfamiliar stars. No lights glow in the windows and no signs of celebration mark the coming of Alf Gappen’s Day. Yet in the stillness, a single sleeping child hums a quiet tune that carries impossibly far across the snow. Three spirits hear it and cross the tundra to a place stripped of joy, determined to bring warmth and wonder.

Produced by Taylor Moore at Fortunate Horse, original score by Will Savino, and edited and designed by Jared Olson.

Fiasco! (Part Two) Nov 25, 2025

Our fiasco continues—Italian style! Can the Holy Trinity escape Heaven in time for the wedding? How are they possibly paying for all those chicken taters?

This is Fiasco! — our first video podcast and a GM-less free-for-all. Join us as we plan a wedding, face sworn enemies, and fully embrace chaos.

Fiasco! (Part One) Nov 11, 2025

Show notes

A simple chicken-tater-funding contract goes horribly wrong when our heroes paraglide straight into hell. Dodging revenge plots, subteranean fish stomachs, and a devil with very specific terms, they just might make it to the altar… if they survive.

Interlude: Fortune Found Oct 28, 2025

Show notes

The forgotten town of Fortune's Fields lies in the shadow of a mesa. Desert winds stir across the Free Roads, carrying the low, mournful calls of jackals. The streets lie quiet, sun-bleached and cracked, littered with the remnants of shops and abandoned homes. Across the train tracks, half-buried in sand and shadow, a mine shaft waits, its mouth dark and inviting. Fortune is found only by those desperate enough to follow it into the unknown.

We are:

Produced by Taylor Moore at Fortunate Horse, original score by Nic Neves, and edited and designed by Jared Olson.

HINT! ep4: Just Deserts Oct 14, 2025

Show notes

And now, for our final course, the denouement. But how will it end? In confession? In violence? In the cold precision of a sickly sweet poison pill, or the white hot bite of black widow? Perhaps. The only things guaranteed in this, our final curtain call, are the same things that are always guaranteed to grow from the soil of spilled blood: lawyers, guns, and money.

HINT! ep3: Will They, Won't They Sep 30, 2025

Show notes

Our interlocutors do as the Romans do and pipe up, sweating through their first interrogation, but Cass finds himself in the cruelest court of all when his paper trail leads the way to new suspicions and old desperations. Not even a nice liberal government can save you from some things, like the smoking, still-warm barrel of a gun.

HINT! ep2: Hate the Player Sep 16, 2025

Show notes

As blood pools upon the thick pile of the Boddie Estate's imported rug collection, our players, and the game, are afoot. Bodies on the move in voluminous pants and long, dark secret hallways. Revelations and aspersions fill the air of the mansion like fingers between the keys of a grand piano, like a sky-darkening murmuration of starlings, as our heroes begin to uncover the culprit behind this murder most...fowl.

HINT! ep1: Let the Boddie Hit the Floor Sep 02, 2025

Show notes

To whom it may concern, you have been cordially invited to the Boddie Estate, alongside many established as well as up-and-coming luminaries, gadabouts, learned scholars, loyal compatriots, mysterious servants, long-time friends with complicated backstories, blackmail artists with hearts of gold, liars from your past, traitors from your present, not-mysterious-at-all servants, and of course, one very, very wealthy corpse. Spoiler alert.
