BONUS // Fate and the Fire (Halloween Spooktacular 2024)
Sat, 02 Nov 2024 09:34:00 +0000
We’re celebrating the spooky season with a brand new TTRPG! In this scorching adventure, the flames of history burn brighter than ever as five new heroes face an impossible choice: save what knowledge they can or be swept away in the chaos. The year is… well, we’re not entirely sure—but we’re certain of one thing: Alexandria’s legendary Library is going up in flames. Scrolls crackle, scholars scatter, and our party scrambles to decide what’s worth preserving - and what they choose… well lets just say each to their own.
In a library of boundless knowledge, you can’t save everything. But when you can only choose a few precious relics, what do you save? With a special guest and plenty of laughs, get to know “Fate and the Fire” available online… soon.
Tue, 30 Jul 2024 15:00:00 +0000
Hoodie-howdy that’s a fair bit of heat ma’am. There ain’t no county music in this episode, but there are a few... unexpected... events and a lot of magma. It’s time to get Piper on the move, and left to their own devices in a new city our outsiders do their best to keep a low profil— who are we kidding they’re putting on a show like Atlantis has never seen before.

The adventure is afoot, and Erralynn, Jawbreaker, Triq’ie, Ruby Dubi, and Pulverise have a lot to figure out if they want to find the legendary Golden Goblet and win their passage home. What awaits inside the mountain? Is choosing the cave of bones the best idea? How many muffins does it take to save one party of adventurers? Find out in the second half of our extra-special bonus episode celebrating 4 years of Roll Your Own Adventure.

Tue, 16 Apr 2024 06:50:00 +0000
There are things to do and places to be! But not for this tenacious group. Our adventurers work incredibly hard to… not work hard... as they finally make it to the legendary city. But before they can start heading for the Light of Atlantis there’s one more challenge. Can our intrepid team execute their plan and make it off the Undercurrent? Only one way to find out!
Tue, 05 Mar 2024 10:44:00 +0000
Our adventurers shake off the bad vibes of Mayhem’s Reach as they begin their final descent towards the glimmering city of Atlantis - but not everyone is so lucky. As the Undercurrent flirts once more with disaster on the deck, behind closed doors an important journey needs a… creative… plan. And please can they rest soon?
Tue, 13 Feb 2024 05:59:00 +0000
What was that? Who was that? This has to be a dream - or a nightmare. The effects of Mayhem's Reach hit hard and nothing is as it seems. Memories are tested, loyalties are questioned, and someone's past catches up with them...
Tue, 16 Jan 2024 06:00:00 +0000
An announcement! We’re BACK. That’s right, it’s time for the return of Roll Your Own Adventure. We’re continuing our descent towards Atlantis as we attempt to solve the many mysteries of the Undercurrent. What dastardly troubles await our sea-faring adventurers this time? What lurks in the dreaded hollow?? Will there be dolphins?!? Are we there yet?!!?? Spread the word and submit those audience items cause we can’t wait to be back in your eardrums soon.
Tue, 12 Jul 2022 09:10:42 +0000
Something's not quite right beneath the deck of the Undercurrent, and it's time to find out what’s been hiding in the shadows. But can our adventures make a plan before their own fears catch up with them? And who can they trust when the stakes start to climb? Loyalties are tested, sacrifices are made, and someone goes through a... fuzzy... transformation
Tue, 17 May 2022 14:50:26 +0000
What was that noise? Did you see that shadow!? Where did they come from?? Both our stowaways and the crew start to feel the effects of Mayhem's Reach as the Undercurrent moves into the long, twisted cave system that marks the start of the Split Grotto, and the fourth and penultimate gate on the journey to Atlantis. Secrets are uncovered, trust is tested but not everyone deals well with the unknown…
Tue, 19 Apr 2022 13:19:55 +0000
Did… you… say… TENTACLE?? It’s time to reckon with the deep when the Kraken comes to call. But is this a fight our adventurers can win? And what is it that the crew of the Undercurrent is hiding? All may not be as it seems, but one thing is certain - if they don’t work out what to do next, Everdeep Drop will be our journey’s end.
Tue, 29 Mar 2022 06:00:00 +0000
It’s time for our adventurers to get back to their posts and leave that nasty sand behind them as the Undercurrent continues its descent down into the cavernous chimney of Everdeep Drop. But as they work to light the way forward, they can’t help but stumble onto secrets still hidden in the dark.
Thu, 10 Mar 2022 14:18:49 +0000
So you broke the ship you were granted passage on as stowaways with a giant untouchable anvil? Happens to all of us. Best stay out of the way of the captain and the crew until you work out what to do about it. Or, take the Rustle approach! Let’s see which way ends well...
Roll Your Own Holiday Special // 2021
Fri, 31 Dec 2021 07:17:48 +0000
See ya 2021. It’s time to farewell the year that was with some holiday cheer! The RYOA crew look back over the last year and try to remember things that happened in it. Plus a musical number from a surprise guest...

Fri, 17 Dec 2021 14:59:45 +0000
The deck of the Undercurrent begins to look a little worse for wear as our adventures foster a new-found hatred for sand. Mostly because it’s coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Also because it’s attacking them. On the upside, there’s a giant friendly crab who helps them fight some skeletons, attacking their weak points for massive damage.
Wed, 01 Dec 2021 15:45:02 +0000
The adventurers take a stab at fighting things other than shambling mounds and scary robots, namely: the ocean, some sand, and a wealth of sunken ships. While Mazj finally gets the leader she’s always wanted and Rustle rescues a fish, Ka’Met and Brynn don their superhero garb and become the terrified heroes they were always meant to be.
Wed, 17 Nov 2021 13:26:03 +0000
Everyone’s favourite way to start the day is with soaking wet clothing on a ship that has no indoor heating and smells of a reef, right? Well, lucky for Brynn, Ka’Met, Mazj, and Rustle, that’s how it begins! But how will it end? Probably with some tenuous plans to navigate an underwater ship graveyard and a friendly shark--doo doo doo-doo doo doo.
BONUS // Ten Candles - Part 2 (Halloween Spooktacular 2021)
Tue, 02 Nov 2021 15:00:00 +0000
Four figures push through the thickening darkness, convictions crumbling with the world around them as they begin to lose sight of hope, and Londinium begins to fade. The whispers of Them follow, heavy and haunting as they make their way through the abandoned city. And somewhere in the distance, a faint cry for help begins to sound more like a scream.
BONUS // Ten Candles - Part 1 (Halloween Spooktacular 2021)
Tue, 26 Oct 2021 13:57:28 +0000
It’s time to celebrate the spooky season with a truly eerie bonus episode. A quiet darkness falls over the starship city of Londinium. Engines that once kept the ship’s towers, parks, and gangway streets alive with light and noise now stopped without warning. While most were asleep, the ship powered down, and the lights went out. Survivors huddled in the darkness pass on rumours of the Them - a force or being undefined, but mentioned only in hushed whispers and terrified tones. But with those rumours, hope. A group of defenders is said to have gathered at the Great Core Park, and there, just maybe, lies safety...
Tue, 12 Oct 2021 05:00:03 +0000
Welcome aboard the Undercurrent, due to set sail to the legendary Atlantis. Our adventurers-- sorry --stowaways, will have to earn their keep on this ship, but who will they be apprenticed to? A goblin of few words and a skill for rigging? A cold-blooded fisher and apothecary? A sweet-tempered and patient cook? Or an elf whose people skills are somehow worse than Brynnleigh’s? And wait, did you say they’re headed to the mythical city of Atlantis?
Tue, 14 Sep 2021 13:26:54 +0000
Our adventurers are once again whisked away somewhere new, but it takes a while for them to get their sea legs. Brynnleigh makes everyone question whether or not she’s actually the daughter of a diplomatic nation, Ka’met and Rustle greet the ocean air with wide arms, and Maz’j is uncharacteristically trusting. I guess she has a thing for authority figures… like, say, the Captain?
Tue, 24 Aug 2021 13:38:46 +0000
Brynnleigh gives Mazj a pep talk before her big date (but we won’t call it that, so Mazj doesn’t panic). Meanwhile, Rustle finally crosses paths with some character growth, but maybe also accidentally joins a cult while he does it? Plus, our adventurers decide that maybe Findal knows more than he’s letting on...

Tue, 03 Aug 2021 16:09:23 +0000

Mazj takes a big step, Brynnleigh finds an old friend in a new place, and Ka’met redefines what it means to be a fun-gi. But first, it’s time to trade as Flint shows off their new wares at the general store.
Thu, 24 Jun 2021 06:56:31 +0000
Our adventurers end up somewhere they don’t expect with an item they don’t understand and people who don’t understand them. Mazj offers support, Brynn is uncharacteristically sincere, Rustle is characteristically insincere and Ka’met makes a bold move.
27 // The Scrounge 9 - Reunion Tour
Wed, 02 Jun 2021 18:54:52 +0000
The pieces fall into place for one of the competing Scrounge teams - but will it be our ragtag crew or someone else taking home the prize? It’s time for the final countdown as our adventurers reunite and the Key to the Sky flies towards the finishing line. Brynn works through some anger issues, Ka’met ponders a potato, Rustle makes a stunning entrance, and Mazj edges towards a high stakes decision with a little help from her friends.
26 // The Scrounge 8 - One More Step
Wed, 12 May 2021 14:39:15 +0000
Mazj and Brynnleigh deal with their unexpected visitor in unexpected ways. Rustle and Ka’met wait in the fog. Vesper and Verena start to wonder if they made the right choice when choosing their Scrounge team...

Sat, 01 May 2021 05:07:16 +0000

Thu, 15 Apr 2021 10:18:11 +0000
With Mazj headed to the Key to the Sky and the final steps of the Scrounge plan falling into place, it’s time to see if our adventurer’s scheming has paid off. Rustle and Ka’met work with Verena to check up on the other Scrounge teams, Brynnleigh continues her search for Ameliana, and all eyes are on Mazj as she works her magic...
23 // The Scrounge 5 - Double Party Split
Wed, 31 Mar 2021 05:01:26 +0000
Ever had to be in three places at once? One split party not enough? Have we got the solution for you! The double party split gives you 50% more fun! What could possibly go wrong? While Rustle and Ka’met stay with Verena in the Network Operations Center, Mazj starts the next phase of their plan - finding the warden closest to the Key to the Sky.

Tue, 09 Mar 2021 09:49:52 +0000

21 // The Scrounge 3 - Into the Fray
Wed, 10 Feb 2021 15:34:05 +0000
The heat is on (quite literally) as Mazj, Ka’met, and Rustle face off against their first Scrounge team in what quickly turns into a fear-inducing battle. Meanwhile, Brynn is faced with skullduggery of her own as she confronts Reginatus and tries to save Ameliana.
20 // The Scrounge 2 - Another Door Opens
Sat, 30 Jan 2021 04:51:34 +0000
It hasn’t taken long for plans to be tested as our adventures head further into the Scrounge. Mazj, Ka’met, and Rustle continue to home-alone the team gaining ground behind them, but it looks like the path to the Network Operations Center might not be as clear as they were hoping. Meanwhile, Brynn is faced with some difficult decisions.
Roll Your Own Holiday Special // 2020

Tue, 22 Dec 2020 09:23:23 +0000

Tue, 20 Oct 2020 05:55:00 +0000
After a dramatic chase through the mysterious metallic city of Burrkeep, Mazj, Rustle, Ka’met and Brynn were probably hoping for an easy afternoon. But whose hideout have they landed in? How did that skeleton get there? And will someone please explain what they're doing here??
Thu, 08 Oct 2020 16:52:10 +0000
Welcome to Burrkeep! Our adventurers struggle to get their bearings as they’re thrown into the heart of the second Elutheraine Empire, but they don’t have much time to do so because it turns out they might not be so welcome here…
Wed, 23 Sep 2020 15:42:06 +0000
Flint’s General Store is open for business as the outsiders try their hand at a trade with lost property. Friendships grow, familiar faces return, and things are looking good in this moment of respite as Mazj, Rustle, Ka’met and Brynn settle into life in Raylia. Everything else is also totally fine. Nothing more to write about! Nope!

Caivrye has a change of pace as everything falls apart, and Brynn, Mazj, Ka’met and Rustle try not to die when things don’t exactly go to plan. But then again, when does anything ever go to plan?
10 // Journey to the Center of the Seed - Part 3
Tue, 18 Aug 2020 12:27:12 +0000
Four claps fade from a mysterious theme song as a stylish couch gets montaged and our adventurers realise that no one told them life was gonna be this way... Meanwhile, Caivrye does her best impression of a faulty alarm system and everyone else tries their hardest not to get murdered by childhood games as the world crumbles around them.

Exeunt, pursued by shambling mound. The ladies leap into action, doing their best cowgirl and warlock impressions to save their companions. It’s hard to believe this entire saga takes place on one unstable pathway - it has to be at least twenty shipping containers long. Will they make it to the strange glowing tree? Will Rustle use the Big Book of Words correctly? Will Raylia’s only hopes perish before the sun finally sets?? Plus, find out what happens if you actually try to read the terms and conditions!
Tue, 23 Jun 2020 09:19:02 +0000
This week our adventurers remember the golden rules of primary school: how to tell time, adults are always watching (even when you think they’re not), and stick with your buddy!

05 // The Princess and the Frog
Tue, 09 Jun 2020 12:45:19 +0000

*No animals were harmed in the recording of this podcast.
Tue, 19 May 2020 06:50:00 +0000
Welcome to Raylia! Our adventurers have levelled up, and they could use those new skills to work out what they’re doing here, but first Brynnleigh finds a bed, Ka’Met does his best impression of Pocahontas, Mazj tries desperately to move the plot along, and Rustle is just… Rustle. And we can’t tell you why, but you’ll be very familiar with shipping containers by the end of this episode…
Tue, 05 May 2020 07:02:00 +0000
So you’ve fallen through a magical portal and now you don’t know what to do? Don’t worry - we’re here to help. Facing levers, doors, chests, some questionable dancing, and a small wooden bear, our adventurers make their way through their first dungeon (not quite as quickly as our DM had hoped). Guess there’s no TIME for our adventurers to turn back now!
Tue, 05 May 2020 07:01:00 +0000
Two teenagers, a frog, and a three-hundred year old gnome walk into the Mallow Marshes… and it only gets weirder from there.
