ANNOUNCEMENT OF HIATUS

Thu, 20 Jan 2022 19:04:13 +0000

Hey friends,

I am afraid the time has come to announce that we’re putting the show on an indefinite hiatus. I am simply not able to keep up with the production process at this time.

We ARE going to record through the end of Gallows Hill, although I don’t know when or if we’ll be able to those episodes published.

Our deepest thanks to everyone who’s listened to the show, our wonderful friends who recorded guest bits for us, and all the great folks we’ve met along the way.

re: the world

Sun, 14 Jun 2020 19:29:44 +0000

Hey, gang. No new episode this week--there's obviously a lot going on in the world, and I was already having brain issues on top of it, so instead we're going to take a second to encourage everyone to do what you can to help move the world in the right direction.

Right now, people around the world are protesting the deaths of unarmed black folks at the hands of the police. George Floyd and Breonna Taylor are just the tip of the iceburg. If you're unable to be in the streets right now, there' s still a lot you can do, from donating to bail funds, to signing petitions, to making sure your elected representatives know where you stand. We're going to put some links in the show notes, but we're hardly authoritative-take a look online and you can find endless ways, both locally and nationally, to offer your support.

And don't forget that while all this is going on, the Trump administration, in an effort to be just as monstrous as humanly possible, has rescinded protections that allowed transgender people equal access to healthcare in America.

So there's no shortage of places where your time, attention, and resources are needed--and even if, like me, you have very little to offer in those departments, there are a million tiny ways you can help. Do what you can. Support the people you love, support people you've never met, and keep yourselves safe.

Patreon Changes!

Wed, 22 Apr 2020 19:52:50 +0000

Hey, gang! As we've mentioned a couple times, we're making some changes to our Patreon, and I wanted to take just a couple quick minutes to go over what we're doing and why.

We had originally intended to slowly ramp up our Patreon rewards so we'd have several different regular monthly things, but last year turned out to be a total mess for me, specifically, and then this year has turned out to be a total mess for everyone, everywhere, so all those plans got mucked up.

So rather than try and get tangled up making specific, scheduled content for specific committed tiers at a time when so much is up in the air, what we're doing is switching to a pay-what-you-want model, and giving all patrons access to all the stuff, as soon as it's ready to go. So for a dollar a month, you'll have access to everything, but if you feel like the show is worth more to you, and you've got the cash, and you want to make sure we can keep going, you can donate as much as you'd like. We'll also be setting some new goals, so you can see what we're building towards.

This system also allows us to bring you more and different kinds of content without having to commit to a regular schedule, which was proving to be a bit of a road block. So we'll still be posting behind-the-scenes material like character write-ups and system breakdowns, but we'll also some art and audio stuff! We've already recorded a stand-alone game of The Quiet Year that'll go up as soon as the editing's done, and we'll be doing our first of several art polls, where patrons will be able to vote for a character they'd like to see drawn by our own Eisner-award-winning Braden Lamb!

These changes will be rolling out shortly, or, if you're hearing this later down the line, they already have, because that's how time works! Thank you all so much for supporting us, or thinking about supporting us, or just for listening, and we'll see you back here in, uh, less than two weeks, for the debut of Gallows Hill.

Sun, 03 Mar 2019 23:26:51 +0000

(This episode is rated TRUE NEUTRAL for some strong language and intense combat.)

Remy Dreamshout is a bard in love. But when he and his friends--two plane-touched sisters and a dark elf with a disturbingly green thumb--head into a rich neighborhood to try and impress his girlfriend's dad at a fancy party, they find that it's not so easy to put your history behind you.

Notice of Lateness & Some Other Stuff

Sun, 13 Jan 2019 21:05:19 +0000

Hey gang. Just dropping in to let you know that we're going to be late this week--I've been dealing with some extensive dog health issues that have consumed a lot of time, energy, and sleep, and i'm just outta juice. I'm hoping we'll get this episode to you some time this week, and if not, you'll definitely have it next Monday.
On the upside, we do have a couple things for you in the meanwhile! The next thing in your feed will be the teaser for season three, which Josh put together for your listening enjoyment. Do be aware that the accuracy of the events depicted may vary depending on how badly we derail Josh's plans.
Also, The Exquisite Lich now has an official feed, and there WILL be a new episode of that going up this week. You can find it anywhere you can find The Chimera, although Apple seems to be taking its time approving shows this week, so it may be a couple days before you can properly subscribe. You can check out exquisitelich dot com for info and updates, or follow exquisitelich on twitter.
Now I'm gonna go lay down. Thanks for listening, enjoy all that stuff I just talked about, and we'll see you just as soon as we can!

PILOT: The Exquisite Lich

Sun, 19 Aug 2018 15:45:30 +0000

1: Coronation

[PILOT EPISODE!]

Within the Queen’s Home, burroughs, collectives, territories and neighborhoods often have trade and political disputes, just as any other city or country. They are culturally vibrant, different in trade and tradition, and clash almost daily. Today we find our heroes in Copper’s Bend, is a young district. A recent influx in cash has seen one family rise to power in a fashion unseen in many years. All was going well until the Patriarch died unexpectedly, leaving his daughter as the district’s defacto driver. She is smart, capable, and willing, though others conspire to stop her. She is five days away from her coronation, and someone has stolen the family ritual cloak. She cannot ascend to her family seat without it.

1.17 [Old Bones] In A Lonely Place

Mon, 26 Feb 2018 04:39:01 +0000

(Sea of Malice, part 2 of 5)

“BOOK I. (Folio), CHAPTER VI. (Sulphur Bottom).—Another retiring gentleman, with a brimstone belly, doubtless got by scraping along the Tartarian tiles in some of his profounder divings. He is seldom seen; at least I have never seen him except in the remoter southern seas, and then always at too great a distance to study his countenance. He is never chased; he would run away with rope-walks of line. Prodigies are told of him. Adieu, Sulphur Bottom! I can say nothing more that is true of ye, nor can the oldest Nantucketer. “ - Herman Melville, Moby Dick (or The Whale)

Okay, cards on the table: I haven't listened to this since March, so I'm not 100% sure what's in here. Character creation stuff, jokes, the particular brand of creeping malaise that characterized early 2017... You know, foundations.

Anyway, the crew of the Chimera have gotten ahold of their thing, but then some serious jags showed up, looking to kidnap your favorite finance elemental. Can our guys outfox the Xtreme Sanction, or are things about to get real, real messy? (Hint: that second one)

New Listener Guide

Mon, 10 Jul 2017 16:00:00 +0000

Hey, friends! Welcome to The Chimera! We're an actual play RPG podcast bringing you strange fiction across a variety of genres and role-playing systems. In this little pre-episode, we're going to do a quick rundown of our different campaigns to help folks figure out where they'd like to jump on, and then at the end a very very quick overview of what an actual play podcast is, for the uninitiated. You can also find more detailed breakdowns, complete with character descriptions and art, on our website, thechimera.space.

Our inaugural campaign is called The Old Bones. It's a superpowered science fiction game which takes place in an entirely home-brewed universe, drawing inspiration from cosmic Marvel & DC stories like Guardians of the Galaxy, New Gods, and Infinity Watch, where the setting is full of just about every kind of weridness you can think of, from space gods, to reality-bending technology, to living planets.

Like most podcasts, the audio early on is a bit rough. We're working on a remaster, but it's not a quick process, so if sound quality is a sticking point for you, we sometimes recommend episode 8 an an alternative starting point, or you can just try a different season!

Our second campaign is called Misplaced, which mixes the venerable Dungeons and Dragons campaign setting of Greyhawk with the surreal, conspiritorial mystery of Lost. Our ostensible heroes are trapped on a remote island filled with roaming terrors, bizarre magical architecture, and several hostile factions, but the greatest threat they face may be themselves.

After Misplaced comes The House of Black Lanterns, which is technically a spinoff, although it doesn't require a whole lot of context from Misplaced. The House of Black Lanterns is a haunted hotel and casino that exists on the fringes of reality, and plays host to all manner of fantastical beings who seek to play for strange and unnatural stakes.

We play the staff.

And then we have Gallows Hill, set in our version of the World of Darkness, and populated by werewolves, vampires, fairies, mages, and other, stranger things. Our story takes place in the city of Salem, which has become a kind of sanctuary for supernatural beings, largely safe from the turf wars and in-fighting they usually have to deal with. The trade-off is that they have to be even more careful about tipping off the mortal populace--and that's where the Gallows Hill Sanitary Commission comes in.

Gallows Hill also features a six-part world-building game, called Uncover Something Old. You can listen to it before starting Gallows Hill proper, but everything will still make sense if you decide to skip straight to the action.

If you're not familiar with an actual play--such as The Adventure Zone, Critical Role, Friends at the Table, or Rude Tales of Magic--the general pitch is this: we play a table top role playing game, and we record it. It's kind of like a communal storytelling exercise, but with structured rules and, usually, some dice to add an element on unpredictability. There's all sorts of different approaches, but we try to maintain a balance between narrative immersion and giving folks a sense of what it feel like to be at the table, engaged in the process.

I think that's all the important stuff, so I'll let get into the actual show now. If you'd like more information, you can find us online at thechimera.space. Enjoy!
