Hiatus Announcement

Wed, 01 Dec 2021 07:00:00 -0500

Hey everyone,

We just wanted to inform you that due to some health issues that have come up, we will be taking a hiatus from the podcast throughout December and most likely throughout January. As of right now our intention is to return to releasing content in February of next year. We will be pausing our Patreon pledges for December and January since we cannot guarantee we will be able to release any content during this time. We want to thank everyone for their continued support for our shows, it really does mean so much to us.

Once our hiatus is over we will be picking up where Sharpened Quill and Rumble Squad left off. Sharpened Quill will be entering the city of Holimion to learn more about the gods’ disappearances only to find themselves entangled in a terrible crime. Rumble Squad meanwhile will be learning more about the Thessun Kingdom as they try and learn how and why they were teleported all the way across the continent. We will also plan to release more NPC stories including that of the Loreena Buckton-Rein, Queen of the Vremor Empire. Thar Denholm, the illusionist trickster that Rumble Squad ran out of town, and Adriel Elervir, Orik’s protege.

Thank you again for continuing to join us on our adventures and though for now we are taking a break from the podcast, we do look forward to seeing you all next time in the world of Austea.

Orinthal Redux #15: Clearly, You Have Done Much

Wed, 14 Apr 2021 07:00:00 -0400

The party faces the consequences of their actions over the past few days as they are brought before the King of Orinthal! Stay tuned for after the episode for the epilogue for each of the characters as they discuss what they would like to do following the events of the campaign.

Welcome to Orinthal Redux! We are re-releasing our original short series, Orinthal, with new editing and music. Three years ago, we started our podcast with this actual play with no idea of where it would lead. Taking place over a hundred years before our current actual play adventures, our characters in Orinthal looked for clues and hunted for a secret foe who instigated devious plots within the city.

For those who have listened to the original release, we hope you will enjoy this fresh take on the story. Starting from when our heroes meet, our editor Adam has cleaned up the audio and we have added music to enhance the mystery and action. If you want to hear the original character introductions, those are still available on our podcast feed. You can also read our character backstories on our website.

Follow us on twitter @RulesAsWritten. We'd also love to hear from you! We have our Discord server, which allows us to directly engage with you beyond Twitter. Join us as we chat about rules, characters, and TTRPGs in general. During these troubled times we are keenly aware of the importance of entertainment media to help all of us get through. It is in this spirit that we're expanding the Nabresal network to include sending spells through electronic mail. Would you like to write a letter to Luven? Well, now you can! Please address your letter to dm@DnDRAW.com.
