Champions of the Earth

A fusion of tabletop RPG and radio drama, CHAMPIONS OF THE EARTH features an original game system and stars veteran streamers, comics pros, and indie game designers in a fast-paced high-production value sonic adventure stretching from the halls of high school to enchanted taverns to the dark side of the moon.

Sun, 19 May 2019 00:00:00 +0000

The Royal Guards caught the Champions sneaking into the White Castle, but thanks to Olive, our heroes were escorted directly to the Fae Court. Now comes the moment of truth. The Champions found Esmond Chong, but rescuing him—and themselves—is now a matter for trial. Reeling from the shock they are not the first Champions to visit this court, can they make their case? And what of Hyde? Mel contemplates a trade. Nico drops a mask. Martha digs in. Olive drops a big weight. Huxley strikes a chord…and then strikes back.

Tue, 16 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000

On the run with the castle guard almost certainly alerted to their presence, the Champions take a chance on intel from Shadra the Black and search for the hidden back entrance…even though they’ve been warned of many dangers and potentially fatal terrors waiting that way. That is… if the Champions don’t take a shortcut. Nico makes a jump. Martha catches a wave. Huxley visits jail. Mel makes some noise. Olive makes a new friend.

Sleepover games are over. While the fae tavern’s diminutive mouselike servant Paws leads Martha, Olive, and Mel on a “night walk” through the walls of The Giant’s Rest…something that seems a lot like acid fills the boys’ room. As Hux, Nico, and a reluctant Hyde struggle to free themselves, the girls learn the secrets of the tavern…and all the Champions might make some sacrifices to set things right. Mel says “I told you so.” Martha makes a friend. Olive gets thorny. Nico burns it down. Huxley gets a souvenir. Hyde keeps his secrets.

Ep. 24: "Esmonds All the Way Down"

Tue, 05 Feb 2019 13:09:25 +0000

Ep.24: "Esmonds All the Way Down" Laughing Corpse Man brought the Giant's Rest tavern to its feet, but the Champions are now dead on theirs. Eager to get some rest, they're sequestered in their hard-earned rooms for the night and find themselves each having an impromptu sleepover. While Olive, Martha, and Mel share secrets, Hux and Nico must buddy up to Hyde and learn what they can. But no sleepover would be complete without a few games and tricks, a late-night sneak, and maybe... an unpleasant twist. Mel shrinks. Olive bleeds. Martha makes a friend. Hux doesn't sleep. Nico makes a deal. WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE the Game is in OPEN BETA!

Inside The Giant's Rest, our heroes find themselves about to literally sing for their supper... but no one knows the tune.

Ep. 22: "Obsidian"

Wed, 19 Dec 2018 09:00:06 +0000

Ep. 22: "Obsidian" Mel's had enough. With a weapon trained on Hyde and the Fae Lands already taking a deep toll on the team, the Champions might first have to reckon with something that's simmered for far too long. Hyde's warning to Olive looms large, but so does a new sight on the horizon: a magic tavern. Hyde talks. Olive has regrets. Nico refuses to use a name. Huxley gets in the middle. Mel plays a game. Martha plays along. A dark figure recognizes a kindred spirit. A pivotal moment arrives for one Champion. As Jesse notes at the start, a catastrophic equipment failure disrupted the audio for the session which begins after the Middle Bit. We do apologize for the drop in vocal quality during parts of the second act and thank you for your support. HAPPY HOLIDAYS from everyone at Champions of the Earth- we'll see you in 2019 for some exciting announcements and events. STAY TUNED.

Tue, 04 Dec 2018 00:00:00 +0000

The Fae Realm awaits, but as the Champions take their first steps into an unfamiliar world, some of their troubles are very familiar. Esmond is still out there. No one knows what to make of the bird Hyde, and Olive's acting very strangely. Meanwhile, the team struggles to find unity while the very deadly world quite literally tries to pull them apart... if their own secrets don't do it first. Hyde squawks. Olive drops hints. Martha blurts something out. Huxley blurts something out, too. Nico breaks something. Mel nears a breaking point. Hux and Martha's code can be found somewhere known but forgotten.

Fri, 09 Nov 2018 00:00:00 +0000

On their own and tortured by dreams* of their failure to save the day at Homecoming, the Champions find themselves more or less under house arrest while the town picks up the pieces in the aftermath of another catastrophic event. Who were the white-armored invaders? Where is Esmond Chong? And most importantly... where do the teen's complicated romances stand in light of all this destruction? Nico hears a voice. Mel gets a drum lesson. Olive gives her present. Hux is the dad. Martha has a three-way. During the break, Collin explains the changes to the system after the last playtest round.

In the wake of Icosagon’s stunning revelations, the Champions find themselves with little to do but wait… and get ready for Homecoming.

Tue, 14 Aug 2018 11:00:16 +0000

Ep 14: "You Have to Try" After saving the school and fighting back the Dessicated, the Champions flee Beach Bay High aboard Huxley's mecha raccoon. Destination? Icosagon. But as the teen warriors seek answers for how and why the threat is not ended, none are prepared for the revelations found in Icosagon's chambers. Olive gets nervous. Huxley gets philosophical. Nico gets serious. Mel gets angry. Martha gets quiet...at first. Homecoming is just a day away. The Champions may have survived the attack on the football field, but their friendships remain in jeopardy. At the half, Collin and Jesse reveal a new business plan and tease an announcement we swear we're making before the next episode. This is a GREAT WEEK to rate and review the show.

Ep. 13: "Superheroes"

Wed, 01 Aug 2018 14:22:07 +0000

The Champions remain divided on whether they should go public with their powers, but the debate will have to wait. The spire of quartz and gold in the center of the football field has been cracked open... and it turns out the dead were waiting beneath it! As hordes of undead creatures of all shapes and sizes swarm the school, the Champions must face down the menace and come to terms with a terrible truth: whatever gave them their powers isn't done with these teens just yet. The dead rise, and they may have no choice but to stand united against them. Nico's blood boils. Martha takes some hits. Hux calls for help. Olive makes like a tree. Mel takes aim. It's Thursday. Homecoming and the answers some of the Champions seek are not far away... assuming they survive this. During the half, Colling and Jesse enjoy a relaxing afternoon. Because we all deserve that. July marks our most listens ever. Thank you to all the new Reserve Champions out there and for all of your spreading the word, drawing art, and making this so much fun. Remember to leave a review!

After their encounter with the mysterious Exception Agency, the Champions must decide what to do next. While Olive goes solo to deal with her stalker, the rest of the team butts heads over who to trust and how to use their newfound powers. And now it's Thursday. Homecoming is a day away, but Beach Bay High's football field is about to see some action a day early. Olive steals something. Martha reveals something. Nico forgoes subtlety. Mel gets heated. Hux does it for the love. If you're at SDCC this weekend, look for members of the cast. Say the secret phrase Collin reveals at the half to them and get a cool surprise!

Wed, 04 Jul 2018 15:54:40 +0000

What sinister development lurks in such close proximity to ducks? Olive takes a drag. Mel steals a backpack. Martha is impressed. Hux tells a whopper. Nico keeps on running. No plan survives contact with the Champions, but out by Mile Marker 5, a certain blank van is waiting. Whether it holds answers or more questions remains to be seen. As Wednesday draws to a close, the Champions come into conflict once more. During the break Collin makes some exciting announcements, including the winners of those gorgeous Roll With Pride pins. Thanks to everyone who shared their stories of inclusive friends at the game table. You're all heroes, too. The mysterious audio glitch at the end of the episodes has been solved? Kind of?

Tue, 01 May 2018 08:06:59 +0000

Homecoming Week continues, and the fallout for the Champions only intensifies. As Huxley contends with a graveyard full of reasons why he shouldn't have gone off alone, Martha and Olive's sleepover doesn't go at all the way Martha planned it. Meanwhile Nico and Mel discover something about their powers that will have serious consequences before the day is over. Olive makes a fort. Martha cannot sleep. Hux takes a stand. Mel runs a lot. Nico goes berzerk. And it's only Tuesday. The pace increases as the clock ticks down to Friday...and Homecoming. This Very Special Episode is extra-long!
