Hey all! Zachary Frederickson here, your friendly neighborhood GM. You might be wondering why there’s no episode in the feed today, and it falls to me as the GM and de facto voice of Roll Dice and Cry to pass on the news that unfortunately, the podcast is no longer in production.
This year was really hard for us to get everybody together; there’s been a couple month-long gaps between recording sessions, and lots of new opportunities opening up for our castmates means that we collectively don’t have the same amount of time and energy to dedicate to the podcast that we once did. With that in mind, we’ve decided to definitively end it. Believe me, it wasn’t an easy decision, but it was the one that we decided was most healthy for everybody involved.
I just want to take this chance to say that making this podcast with my friends has been some of the best times I’ve ever had, and that was only improved by being able to read your thoughts and reactions each week. You, the fans, have made this experience all the richer, and I can’t thank you enough for that.
Now, while the show might have ended, it’s certainly not disappearing from the internet. The Soundcloud and Youtube archives are still staying up, and as far as I know the Pippa feed will still be here for awhile. Plus, we’re all over the internet, too!
-The roles of Zara Fontaine and Marge Devlin were played by Emily Reisbeck. Emily is working on some new stuff, and It’s Your Funeral is coming out from Iron Circus Comics in 2020. You can read their webcomic at bluevalkyriecomic.tumblr.com and find them on Twitter @thebluevalkyrie.
-The roles of Radiant Eyre and Loic Luck were played by Mari Costa. Mari’s ongoing webcomic Peritale can be found at peritale.com, and her past comics work can be found at maricomics.com. You can follow her on Twitter @marinscos.
-The roles of Adeline Fleetwood and Theodore Sinclair were played by Sloan, who can be found on Twitter @_Sloanzone.
-The roles of Ford Maphorn and Bailey “The Daily” Sarton were played by Nikita, who can be found on twitter @Chanderclear.
-Finally, the roles of Game Master and Bartimaeus Nemo have been played by Zachary Frederickson. You can find me on twitter @obfuscatingGod.
As the curtains fall one last time, I just want to say, from the bottom of my heart,
Thank you, and goodnight.

Every private investigator worth their salt knows that a large percentage of all crimes happen in the home. Thus, when investigating a crime, you can usually find the culprit in the living room.

Hey folks! Just a little update on our scheduling for the current future; TL;DR: we're moving to biweekly for a bit to build up some buffer, but we'll fill those off weeks with bonus stuff if we have it, when we have it. Tune into this update for a fun bonus song from when I was trying to come up with the Third Eye theme!

Huge thanks to everybody who sent in questions! This is the last thing we've recorded for season 1, and we're so glad to have gotten the responses that we got! Heads up, there was a little bit of audio corruption in the recording process; I tried to mitigate it as much as possible but it's definitely still present, so be prepared for that. We'll be sure to watch out for it in season 2 and make sure it doesn't happen again.
Speaking of season 2, we're still not 100% sure when that's going to be up! There's still some work to do on our end before it's ready, but keep an eye on our twitter @Rolldiceandcry for updates and information!
Thank you for joining us this far, and we hope you'll continue to join us in the future!

Hello and happy holidays! Got a special kind of episode for you this week, as we turn the clock back a bit to a time before the season one finale!

On The Shoulders of Giants 43: You Don't Have To Be Alone
Wed, 12 Dec 2018 16:30:44 GMT
Amatyne the Sunturion walks her patrol across the sky, tied sandals brushing silently against starry half-roads. Her brilliant spear hangs heavy in her hand, and she looks dearly forward to rest. In the world below, the New Titans fight desperately against the forces of Anguish, the forces that drove her to take up this patrol in the first place, and Amatyne aches that she cannot be there to more directly assist her bygone charges.
Amatyne looks down at the world below, keeping pace, watching the old machines wage their time-old war again. She sees Florian there, in the Coruscate Chevalier, fighting side-by-side with the Bulwark Tempest just as the old days, and Amatyne cannot help but feel a swell of pride within her heart. That is her girl, there. Her beloved knight. Still fighting after so long, just like her.
The Queen Deposed, the Knight Made New, Amatyne readjusts her grip on her spear. She tightens her fingers around her shield, the burning corona of molten light no more trouble to her than a candle at midnight.
With a smile on her lips, she continues her patrol.
This week on Roll Dice And Cry: Perhaps things could have been different.

On The Shoulders Of Giants 42: The Battle Of Castle Silverhome, Part Two
Wed, 05 Dec 2018 16:30:20 GMT
Solomon Steps-In-Silence dances through the halls of Castle Silverhome, blades flashing. It isn't the attack he'd expected--honestly, he had flagged Dauntless Leroux as the one to try something stupid--but still, he feels a bit of vindication in calling the fact that something was going to set this party awry. Now, he gets to do what he did best.
A pack of these strange, tar-filled crabs scrabble at the door to a broom closet; Solomon hears scared whimpering within. With a smirk and a whistle, he beckons the beasts toward him, juggling a pair of long, wicked knives to get their attention. One of them leaps at him, and a flick of the wrist pins it to the wall; the rest converge on the spot he was seconds ago to find it empty, and Solomon perched on a nearby table, whistling.
The remaining monsters charge, smashing the table to splinters as Solomon effortlessly tumbles through the air above them. He feels good, in his element. Perhaps that is why he doesn't notice the bifurcated husk scattered on the ground right where his foot lands. The shell cracks underfoot, spinning off in two directions, and Solomon falls head over heels to the floor.
Whipping himself up into a crouch, Solomon has just enough time to see the final creature lunge at him--no time to react, no time to do anything--before his dropped blade whistles through the air and pierces it. The lifeless husk of the onyx crab falls to pieces around him, and Solomon looks to see the identity of his savior.
Jamison Points-The-Way stands, arm extended, fingers forward, just the way his brother taught him as boys in the orphanage all those years ago. He had never taken a life, and in a way still hasn't; to call the existence of these creatures "life" is to levy far too much credit on their creator. Still, to move your hand and cause a moving thing to cease is no easy thing.
Solomon Steps-In-Silence looks up at his brother.
And stands.
And grins.

On The Shoulders of Giants 41: The Battle Of Castle Silverhome, Part One
Wed, 28 Nov 2018 16:30:36 GMT
The village of Low Tide is abuzz. Kobolds jump from boat to boat, sharing the news even as it becomes more and more evident to every citizen:
There is something happening in the chapel.
The mighty riverboat that holds Low Tide's congregation each worship is rocking as if in a wild storm on the high sea, and it takes the combined might of the strongest of Low Tide's citizens to lash it to the nearby trees and quell its wild motion enough to board it. There, in the chaos of strewn pews and spilled offering jars, the source is obvious.
A clay statue, molded by the town's pride and joy to replace one mysteriously broken. It is shaped in the visage of the kobold's interpretation of Old Chained Tzela, with an accuracy borne of earnestness and love more than actual skill. The kobolds of Low Tide love it all the more for its flaws, exemplifying the best aspects of their community: love without shame, expression without restraint, effort without reluctance.
The crude idol floats above the chapel altar, bolts of divine electricity arcing off of it.
And every kobold who beholds it, in the back of their head, hears the words of defiance whispered over steady, thumping drums.
Chained beneath the deep.
But we will rise again.

On The Shoulders Of Giants 40: The Bad Decision That I Have Made
Wed, 21 Nov 2018 15:30:52 GMT
Olivier von Argent crossed her arms and frowned, looking down at the thing that had once been her, sprawled among broken jars and scattered sundries.
"Oh, this won't do at all," she said. "There's still so much left to do."
"THERE IS ALWAYS MORE TO DO," said a voice from the shadows beside her. "SOMEONE ELSE WILL DO IT NOW."
Olivier turned to the figure beside her and sighed. Already the tension of the day was leaving her, a spring uncoiling after a lifetime of tautness. But still:
"What if they do it wrong, without me there to guide them?"
"THAT WILL BE THEIR CONCERN, NOT YOURS. YOU HAVE WORKED HARD. YOU HAVE EARNED REST."
Olivier worried at her lip, glancing down at her body even as she drifted towards the figure.
"There will still be parties where we're going, won't there? I'm a very good event planner, you know. I would hate for my talents to... Depreciate."
The figure tilted its head at her. Beneath the voluminous shadows of its hood, Olivier thought she saw the barest glimpse of a smile; but then, of course, she supposed skulls were always smiling. The figure held out its hand, and Olivier took it.
"MY LADY ADORES A GOOD PARTY."

On The Shoulders Of Giants 39: The Jig Is Most Certainly Up
Wed, 14 Nov 2018 16:30:37 GMT
Solomon Steps-in-silence rakes his eyes over the gala from where he stands, arms crossed and leaning against one of the buffet tables. He twitches his hand slightly, feels the reassuring weight of the knives hidden in his sleeves, and sighs.
Florian had put on a brave face that afternoon, but she knows as well as he that an attack like that isn't the end of what the Anguished had in store for them. He's been in enough silent backroom wars to recognize it for what it was.
It wasn't a coup de grâce. It was a warning shot.
Now the only thing he can do is keep an eye on all these victims and wait for the other shoe to drop. The assassin smiles warmly as a servant hands him a flute of champagne, but the expression doesn't reach his eyes. It never does.
Solomon Steps-in-silence dumps his drink into a nearby planter.
And watches.
And waits.

On The Shoulders Of Giants 38: We're All Heroes Here
Wed, 07 Nov 2018 16:30:53 GMT
Anthony Argent sits haphazardly on a chaise lounge, its feet scuffed and slightly crooked from where he painstaking dragged it down into the caverns beneath the castle. Down here, he has not heard the impact that rocked the upper levels mere minutes ago. Here, in his secret chamber of reflection, the only sound is the music he makes.
He ceases playing, for a moment, to touch the scars on the side of his head. All these years later and he still winces as he runs his fingers across them. He had been distraught back then, forced to shave his head to avoid infection. Of course, the youth of Behren immediately shaved the sides of their own heads in response. A fashion trend, or solidarity perhaps, but at the time he had believed them mocking him and shut himself away in the castle.
The scars had faded in the intervening years, diminished from their ugly red lines to soft and subtle white ridges, and he'd kept the haircut. Perhaps the time to heal the interpersonal scars had come, as well. It had been a shock, seeing the figure of his nightmares in stark daylight, but Linnae was a man, not a monster. Right? Even if the sight of him caused Anthony's knees to buckle and mouth to run dry, he owed it to his new matriarch to do his best to play nice.
Right?
Unable to find answers in the moment, Anthony simply continues to play.

On The Shoulders Of Giants 37: Don't Worry, Heroes, We Got This!
Wed, 31 Oct 2018 16:30:28 GMT
Kevin Ramone paces in his observatory, flitting between the notes spread out across his desk and the array of telescopes that cluster their way across his balcony window, each one fixed ever northward. The darkening of the moon's bottom edge over the past months as if some shadow were eating away at it was troubling enough, but now these... anomalies that had appeared in the last day, getting larger by the hour... he isn't ashamed to admit that they terrify him. Kevin drags both hands through his hair, wishes things were simpler, safer. He wishes things with Amadeus--No, Ford, he was Ford now--were easier, wishes they could talk like normal people again. Most of all, he wishes that he is wrong.
Kevin presses his eye to the telescopes viewfinder and his heart drops.
He wasn't wrong.
And there is a new dark spot in the sky.

On The Shoulders Of Giants 36: You Have No Idea What's Impossible
Wed, 24 Oct 2018 16:27:06 GMT
The sun rises over the glittering peaks of the Silverback Mountains, painting the world in a dazzling coruscation. Florian Von Argent stands in her chambers at the apex of Castle Silverhome, watching the early morning shadows stretch deep and dark across the open courtyard. Servants dash across the tiled expanse, preparing the trail gear for the day's events. Brandt the Enduring waits outside her door, awaiting his lifelong comrade's arrival and their subsequent return to the land of mortals, the inevitable downward arc of her parabolic lifestyle. Florian sighs, clasping the last button on her jacket. She straightens her sash. Walks out the door, greets Brandt, and begins their descent down the stairs.
As much as they might like, the two of them can't simply live among the clouds. Nobody can.
Not anymore.

-Florian Von Argent: determination. Not sure how, but that's definitely the smell. Also sunflowers.
-Brandt the Enduring: Steel, silver, metal, iron... It's like the guy's made of metal.
-Lantern's Light: This guy smells sneaky.
-Mister Palm and Miss Fist: Sweat, gunpowder, steel, perfume.
-Etcetera Et Cetera: Oh, you're easy! Paper, ink, leather bindings, and blueberries!
-Weyland Ivaldi: Like moss and a good walk in the woods. Too bad it's covered up by all the metal.
-Gehnnen Strauss von Roche: Smells rich. Rich food, rich clothes.

Additional facts, theories, and anecdotes about Dauntless Leroux, from the notes of Etcetera Et Cetera:
-Dauntless Leroux maintains his champion position within the Galyrian Naval Boxing Commission; to date, no challenger has ever been able to defeat him, even this far into his admiralty.
-He once fought a megalodon, naked, armed only with a yard of rope, and won.
-His ships never fall to bad weather, because bad weather is afraid of Dauntless Leroux.
-Dauntless Leroux once shouted a kraken into releasing his ship.
-The tides in Harrowshore are caused by Dauntless Leroux doing pushups.

HER WOND’ROUS GAZE
Author Unknown
Her wond’rous gaze, it dances on the sea,
Kaleidoscopic, shimmering and bright.
Chevaliers rejoice on bended knee,
Basking in the kindness of her sight.
With armor gleaming, riders of the dawn
Come thund’ring down the valleys of the sky
Their lord and ladies proudly cheer them on
A-rallied by their holy battle cry!
“To arms!” they cry, and leap into the fight,
“Our lives to keep the world from going still!”
And all the while the kingdom’s anguish’d blight
Erodes the holy trinity’s goodwill.
Her wond’rous gaze, now guarded, shines above
After so long, do I still have her love?

On The Shoulders Of Giants 32: Do You Protect Us, Too?
Wed, 26 Sep 2018 16:30:58 GMT
Gala Supper Buffet Menu:
-Baked catfish fillets, seasoned with white wine, lemon juice, cilantro, butter, and garlic.
-Hand-strained noodles with shrimp and red sauce.
-Grilled Behrenese sausage with sauerkraut.
-Fresh-baked bread(sourdough, whole wheat, Valentinan rolls).
-Unrefined silicates of various families(quartz, topaz, serpentine) for Miss Fantastic and her entourage.
-A suckling pig, to keep up appearances.
-Diced and skewered fruit from our friends in Walden.
This is a supper, Marian, so keep the drinks easy; champagne, ciders, light ales. At the same time, don't be stingy; make sure that any hand without a drink in it is given the option otherwise. Blitzed-out drunk does not an enjoyable party make, but neither does stone sober.
As long as conversation flows freely, we'll have done our job well.

On The Shoulders Of Giants 31: This One Is My Son Now
Wed, 19 Sep 2018 16:30:54 GMT
The eyes of Amatyne the Sunturion gaze out, warm and still, from the facade carved into the highest wall of the Silverhome courtyard. The Solar Guardian, She Whose Patrol Marks Our Days has not been seen in flesh amongst the people of the Endless Sea since the end of the age of Titans, but the workers of Castle Silverhome appreciate her bright and noble eyes all the same, so similar to the eyes of their beloved Lady. As the servants, chefs, smiths, and other staff of the Argent homestead toil seemingly endlessly in the preparations for Lady von Argent's Ascension Gala, they are invigorated by the presence of their Lady, even moreso by the fact that she toils alongside them all the same. They pay no heed to the impossibility of their goals, nor to the stresses of their work. Not with Lady to guide them.
Not with the Lady to light the way.

The smell of baking bread and the song of striking hammers waft through the city of Schoeneberg in equal measure. One more place, just as special and normal as anywhere else, one more stop on the Titans' ongoing odyssey to find truth and knowledge. Who is the mysterious Floriane von Argent, matriarch of the Argent Dynasty, and why does she care so much to have the Titans attend her gala? How much more does Nemo know than he lets on, even now so far into this journey? With a castle full of strange dignitaries and eccentric characters ahead, how can the Titans know who to trust?

After a strenuous month of making deals, charting courses, and butting heads, the Titans of the Bastion have definitely earned a nice reprieve from politics and stately manners. What luck, then, that a lovely party looms over the horizon! Fancy clothes, good food, and... politics and stately manners. Well, you don't always get what you want, but as the Titans will surely find out: sometimes, you get what you need.

On The Shoulders Of Giants 27: We Got Rats, And Also Elves
Wed, 22 Aug 2018 16:30:00 GMT
The people of the Bastion have, by and large, chosen it as a residence out of necessity; either by duty, circumstance, or destiny, those who live there are bound to this strange and ancient place. A house is not necessarily a home, however, and a place as old as the Bastion has more than a few mysteries yet left to uncover. The question hangs heavy on everyone's mind as the gleaming white catamarans of an elven expedition make their way to the Bastion's dock: is this place safe for us?
This Week on Roll Dice And Cry: Nothing like that is gonna happen here, is it?

Sky-blue sails nearly vanish into the vast expanse of cloudless sky as the Titan's mysterious visitor disembarks. The Titans, our heroes, have only just begun to grasp the responsibilities laid upon them, as they are forced to confront perhaps their greatest challenge yet: politics.

On The Shoulders Of Giants 25: Take Care of Yourself, Because No One Else Is Going To
Wed, 08 Aug 2018 16:30:41 GMT
After fraught adventures and terrible tidings, the Titans of the Bastion wish to simply return to their homestead to rest and reflect on the things they have learned. Things are rarely that simple, however, and what brief respite our heroes can muster is tinged with the overhanging cloud of the future. Still, they grasp what comfort they can, pushing forward into uncertain waters.

On the Shoulders of Giants 24: The End of One Story
Wed, 25 Jul 2018 16:30:47 GMT
Relics of the past clash beneath a starlit sky!
Snow by the ton is churned underfoot and trees are torn asunder as weapons of a war long past and not yet done wage a war of their own, divided by lines of conviction, of fate, of faith. Lines are drawn between Titans, and the appearance of a divine host dredges up far more questions than answers.
This is why we're here. This is what we are called to do.

On The Shoulders of Giants 23: The Titans and the Anguished Heir
Wed, 18 Jul 2018 16:30:12 GMT
Events spiral quickly out of control at the anarchistic commune of Squatter's Right, as unwelcome truths are brought to light and equally unwelcome eyes are drawn to see them. Zara Fontaine and Tiuku Bell both are forced to face the facts: there comes a time in every story when you can no longer turn your back on the truth.
This is that moment. Grab your destiny with both hands.

Wed, 11 Jul 2018 18:11:20 GMT
Even as the sun and temperature both drop rapidly, events in Purple Meadows refuse to cool down. Dark, sullen clouds obscure the stars as Ford, Radiant, and Adeline embark on a last-ditch effort to discover the secrets of the nearby lake and the ruins beside. Unfortunately, things aren't quite as cut and dry as they might imagine, and nothing could have prepared them for the true secrets lurking in this forest's dark branches...

On The Shoulders of Giants 21: I Feel Really Good About Misleading Them
Wed, 04 Jul 2018 16:30:32 GMT
Answers lead to more questions as Tiuku and Zara circle ever closer to finding the Titan's Uplink. A clue from an ancient text reveals a sliver of Bartimaeus Nemo's enigmatic past, but how much of what he says can be taken at face value? Meanwhile, the anarchistic commune of Squatter's Right has much more to reveal to our heroes, but not every revelation will be a welcome one.

Reality ensues for the village of Kiln Near Purple Meadows; despite everything, despite the threat of monsters and oncoming calamity, despite the specter of dread hanging over the village like a shroud... you still have to go to work in the morning.

Tiuku Bell delves into the city's criminal underbelly, while Zara Fontaine makes an interesting discovery. Together, our heroes must strike out into the wilderness in pursuit of their goal, but who's to say what else stalks the woods of Toulaine?

For years, the people of Kiln Near Purple Meadows have counted on Pathminder Kurranty as a source of guidance and wisdom to any who felt doubt or fear in their place along the Path. Now, Ford, Radiant and Adeline make their way to the Shrine Near Purple Meadows to seek answers of their own. They each hope for the holy man's help, but can one person truly have answers to all the questions burning in our heroes' hearts? Do some of their questions have any answers at all?

Wed, 23 May 2018 16:00:58 GMT
Belvedere University stands as a testament to the academic pedigree of Galyria's best and brightest. Many of the most influential people in the Archipelago have passed through it's halls, not least of all the current members of the Admiralty Council and their families.
However, regardless of the intellectual bounty that Belvedere University may provide, it is not our heroes' aim. Somewhere in the hilly countryside of Toulaine rests an even more tantalizing prospect, and it is up to Zara Fontaine and Tiuku Bell to track it down and utilize it properly.

Ford, Radiant and Adeline have arrived at Kiln Near Purple Meadows and defeated a monster that was attacking the town. But the damage the creature left still needs to be repaired, and so our heroes help the town to put out their fires and make sure everyone’s okay. Saving the day is one thing, but picking up the pieces is more complex, and Kiln Near Purple Meadows might not be as receptive and thankful as our heroes expect.

Wed, 09 May 2018 15:01:01 GMT
While the name “Tiuku” might elicit little more than a shrug and an upturned nose from most of The Archipelago’s elite, they’ve certainly come to know and fear her alter ego: the famous Bell Thief. Tiuku has been responsible for countless high-profile burglaries from Gourzon to South Pillars, and now she has her eye set on the magnificent splendor of Gregarious Pirrenoue, Culture Admiral of the Prosperous Nation of Galyria. But while she may be used to armed guards, moonlit vistas and clandestine infiltration, in Azure Bay she faces a never-before-seen threat to her stellar criminal record: the earnest attempted aid of the clumsy and brilliant inventor Zara Fontaine.

Between history lessons, religious stories, and a whole lot of fish, the shape of Zolyat begins to take form in our heroes' minds. The question on everybody's mind, however, continues to ring: what kind of calamity exactly are they here to stop?

More than a simple hub of trade, Azure Bay stands as a testament to the vast wealth and influence of Galyria. Street corners and storefronts are blanketed in opulence, ensuring all who travel to the jewel of the coastline see firsthand that Galyria is a nation of plenty. No one understands this more deeply than Gregarious Pirrenoue, Culture Admiral of Galyria and old friend of Lady Morgana Deeplore. Zara and Tiuku’s quest brings them face to face with this larger-than-life persona, but will he receive them with open arms... or closed doors?

A few days inland on the southern half of the strange, rigidly organized island nation of Zolyat, there is a village where purple flowers bloom. Ilyana Toratora, the Lady Brighteyes, clairyvoyant wife of Lady Deeplore, holds grave fears for the future of this village, the place of her birth. To ensure that the harm she forsees does not befall this little town, she has requested the assistance of Radiant Eyre, Adeline Fleetwood, and Ford Maphorn to find and protect it from what terrible harm may lie just over the horizon.

Wed, 04 Apr 2018 15:30:00 GMT
Once, there was a vast and intricate network of communication nodes that stretched across the islands of the endless sea, pinprick stars in a constellation that allowed face to face communication across hundreds of leagues instantaneously. Now, that great lattice has fallen into disrepair, with only a handful of nodes left standing, inactive and silent. Zara Fontaine and Tiuku Bell have been dispatched to the university town of Toulaine, hoping to find and reactivate one such node. Before they get there, however, they must make it through the trade hub of Azure Bay, the jewel of the Galyrian coastline. Such a bustling city provides ample opportunity for our heroes to engage in commerce, make new friends, and even cause a little mischief!

On The Shoulders Of Giants Episode One: I Don't Think A Boat Ever Stops Moving

Water laps lazily onto the Hand in Hand’s bow as it sails through placid waters towards the shores of an island that should not be there. It’s quiet out here in the dark, and most of its crew slumbers below deck, wanting to be well rested before landfall. But abovedeck, some still restlessly stir, unable or unwilling to let the embrace of night drift them to dreamland. Five adventurers—our stories’ heroes—swap stories with each other to pass the midnight hours. They’ll be getting to know one another, forming opinions, and asking questions, but each of them has plenty to conceal, and nobody needs to be forthcoming. At least, not for now… This week on Roll Dice and Cry, we’ll be getting to know our main cast by playing Night Watch in the Ruins of the Future, a micro-game by D. Vincent Baker.

Captain D’Ebonair is joined by the hot-shot celestialist Bartimaeus Nemo and an eclectic group of adventurers from around The Archipelago... Welcome to Roll Dice and Cry’s Introductory episode!
