In the first ever episode of Slay the Stars, our protagonists find themselves called to a midnight rendezvous in a secluded garden. But why? And by whom? You'll have to listen in to find out.
Tue, 24 May 2022 12:32:02 -0300
Zem and Char's world is turned upside down with the revelation that they've been observed for sometime, and someone wants them. Badly. But where do they go? Can they trust anyone they know? Only time will tell.
Tue, 31 May 2022 12:40:55 -0300
Zem and Char are on the run, and their situation has left them with few people to trust and no idea where to go. On top of that, it's been over two years since they've seen one another, and they're beginning to realize that a lot can change in two years.

Tue, 07 Jun 2022 12:23:20 -0300
Zem and Char have made it out of Saltspire and are traveling around the bay to Oceangarde where they hope to find answers and help. But there are curiosities and dangers along this path, and it may be difficult for our friends to determine which is which.
Tue, 14 Jun 2022 11:42:17 -0300
After a jarring wakeup call, Zem and Char continue their journey around the bay, pursued by hunters, still unsure what this all means. Along the way, they'll make friends, maybe a few enemies, and learn some troubling details about the world at large.
Tue, 21 Jun 2022 11:36:31 -0300
Another close call leaves Zem and Char desperate for somewhere to turn. They meet some new companions, and we get our first exposure to spooky tales from around Vela. But are these tales more than myths or silly stories? Only time will tell.

Tue, 05 Jul 2022 12:19:03 -0300
Zemira and Char finally have a moment to catch their breath and investigate the strange crate they intercepted at The Golden Tract. They're in a new city and left with more questions than answers. What could Zem's teacher Daleus be up to? Are they safe without Adhara on their trail? And the biggest question of all: What comes next?
Tue, 12 Jul 2022 12:19:08 -0300
Zem and Char head into the Murky Knot to unload some of their excess items, and while there, witness an altercation that shakes them to their core. They do some shopping in other areas of the city and receive a strange letter under suspicious circumstances.

Zem and Char spend some time gossiping with Jeff the barkeep and learn a bit about the mob hierarchy in Oceangarde. They then make their way to the docks to search for Zem's father, Kristoff, and after that productive conversation, decide to spend a night drinking in the city. What could possibly go wrong?
We also get our first level up of the campaign: Level 4

Tue, 02 Aug 2022 12:35:32 -0300
For Zemira Kaltain, dreams are a tool. She never feels threatened or scared of her dreams because they are a part of her, and she is in control. Or, she was in control. Now, a new figure has entered the game, and they seem to have plans for Zem and Char. Will Zem submit to this rising dark power? And if she does, what will that mean for their friendship?
Tue, 09 Aug 2022 12:19:04 -0300
Scared, cornered, and without many other options, Zemira and Char turn to an unlikely new ally. But trusting anyone now seems foolish, and Oceangarde is becoming less and less safe. How can they escape Nexus's grasp, and where will they go next?
Episode 13 is the final in our first cour or story arc. This Friday, 8/12/2022, we'll be publishing our first recap/discussion episode where we'll cover episodes 1-13 for anyone who needs a refresher or wants to jump in but doesn't have time to listen to all 13 episodes. Of course, the best way to get all the details is to listen in every week, but we want this podcast to be as accessible as possible.
We hope you're enjoying the ride! Per somnia, ad astra.
Recap #1: Episodes 1-13 (Cour 1)
Fri, 12 Aug 2022 12:24:32 -0300
In this bonus episode of Slay the Stars, cast members Leah, Jenn, and Arthur recap the first 13 episodes of season 1 and answer a few questions from the listeners.
We want our show to be accessible to all. So if you're just hearing about us now, you can listen to this and jump right in on episode 14. Of course, it's always a good idea to listen to all the episodes in order so you have all the details, but life happens! We're just happy you're here.
We hope you enjoy this recap, and we'll see you next week for Episode 14: Betrayals Begin With Trust.
S1E14: Betrayals Begin With Trust
Tue, 16 Aug 2022 11:53:52 -0300
Zem and Char are on their own again, heading north, away from Oceangarde. The past few days have been the most trying of their lives, and it doesn't seem that trend will be ending anytime soon. Tensions are running high, and Zemira has finally worked up the courage to ask her pendulum the question she's had on her mind since that night at Ascension Point.
This episode is silly, a little serious, and (as always) a good time.
Tue, 23 Aug 2022 12:22:00 -0300
Zem and Char continue their journey from Oceangarde, stop to pay their debts at the Midway Tavern, learn a great deal about Adhara's book, and receive a note from an unlikely source. A question plagues their minds: Is there anyone left whom they can trust?
Tue, 30 Aug 2022 12:44:36 -0300
When Char left The Garden, he swore to never return. But now, a force bigger than broken rules and shattered promises threatens to engulf him and Zemira, and neither is prepared for what awaits them in this homecoming.
This week, we are promoting our friends over at Rolling For What Now! They're a mature rated 5e podcast and friends of ours over on Twitter. Check out their promo at the end of this episode, and find them on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/Rolling4WhatNow

S1E17: What Lurks in the Shadows
Tue, 06 Sep 2022 12:35:13 -0300
Zemira and Char pass the night at the Garden, separated and alone. There is something off about this place, a darkness. Can they find a way to survive one night, gather the information they need, and get away? Or will they, like so many others, be consumed by what lurks in the shadows?
The amazing and wonderful Fungeon Master (@FMaster90 on Twitter) collaborated with us this week and created a map for this episode! You can check it out on our social media, website, and Patreon. Fungeon is a great person, a dear friend, and someone you should definitely check out/support. If you're looking for maps for your games, check out his Ko-fi.

*Takes place between Episodes 11 and 12*
After an emotional encounter with her father, Zemira and Char decide to have a night out on the town in the party capital of Vela, Oceangarde. While out, they encounter a mysterious woman named Aella and have a little more fun than they bargained for.
This is our second dramatization, where we take a moment in game that we want to expand on and turn it into an audio drama! The first is extremely short and can be found on our YouTube playlist:

Tue, 13 Sep 2022 12:48:49 -0300
As a new day dawns, Char finds himself in more than one dangerous situation, and the strange shadow organization at The Garden does their best to obfuscate and thwart any information that could help our protagonists. In this game of political chess, will Zemira and Char come out ahead or be swallowed up by the chaos?

Finding only heartache at the Garden, Zem and Char are once again on the road... once again, fighting for their lives. The path to Mor'Bhaile is treacherous, and they'll need to work together to make it there alive. That is, if the wolves don't find them first.

Zem and Char pass a peaceful evening with Cailanna, something they desperately needed after the events of the past few days. But there is more to The Hermit than meets the eye. Cai is full of useful information and tricks. If only Zem and Char could ask the right questions...

S1E21: Where the Tall Grass Grows
Tue, 04 Oct 2022 12:41:07 -0300
Throughout the course of this story, many questions have lingered, but none so much as this: Why did the gods leave? In this episode of Slay the Stars, Char finally gets some answers. He and Zem also receive another reminder that they do not understand the scope of the powers that pursue them.
This week, we are promoting our friend Grant and his show Game Master Monday! They play a new system every episode, and if you're like us and feel like you don't have the time to play all the games you wish you could, this show helps take the edge off. Listen in to the outro to hear the promo!

Only a few river crossings separate Char and Zem from their goal of making it to Mor'Bhaile. Luckily, they find a kindly old man with a boat who offers to take them across. But there is more to the man than Zem and Char realize, and the events that unfold leave our protagonists with still more questions for their ever-growing list.
This episode is special! We feature our first ever TBK (To-Be-Killed) character, created for us by our patrons, Erin and James, over on Patreon! Not sure what all this means? Head over to our Patreon for all the details.
We're currently pushing for 10 patrons by the end of October 2022, and we're only 1 away from that goal! If you have a little extra cash and want to support us, it would mean the world.
We also have a shoutout at the end of our episode for our newest patron and friend Jasper! They're an amazing creator in their own right, and if you're looking for art commissions, check them out! They do great work. You can find them on Twitter and Ko-Fi.
And our final announcement, we are pushing to hit 1000 followers on Twitter by the end of October 2022. If we hit that goal, 5 different creators (including us) have pledged $52 to Extra Life! That's $260 for a great cause. Give us a follow, and let's make these donations happen.

Danger is already waiting for Zem and Char when they arrive in Mor'Bhaile. As they desperately try to think their way out of a difficult situation, a new complication enters the game. They're going to need help if they want to make it out of this one...
This is a fun, mostly light-hearted episode, and that's good considering what comes next week in Episode 24: The Summer Solstice. *Insert evil laughter*
In all seriousness, THANK YOU for listening, supporting, following, liking, all the things! We adore you all. Last week, we hit 1000 followers on Twitter and 10 patrons on Patreon. We are still in shock. Words cannot describe how grateful we are to each and every one of you.

Dude, Where's My Drift is Kae's Starfinder podcast where they're currently solving the drift crisis! Check them out everywhere you get your podcasts and on Twitch every other Monday. You can also find them at @DWMDpodcast on all the social medias.
