Synopsis:
Quest of Ruin is a fortnightly dark fantasy podcast set on the fictional world of Toor, following a band of rag-tag adventurers as they try to survive the world left over after the War of Destruction. Join Laethar the embittered elven warrior, Yaela the fae ranger trying to keep things together, Balink the pyromaniac goblin, Aiolin the studious orc scholar and Vurieth, an ashlander mage out to discover the world, as they encounter friends and foes, monsters and strange artefacts, wonders and ghosts from the past.
You will not be alone, for also witnessing these adventures will be a group of players, blissfully unaware that their role-playing game, and their Game Master, are more than they seem.

The Pensive Tower - Announcement Trailer
Sat, 30 Sep 2023 11:30:03 GMT
The Pensive Tower is a weekly high fantasy podcast, following the collected stories of the people who live in the Five Seas Federation and beyond. Join the newly appointed Inscriber, Paxton Ferox, as he works his way through the memories that have been donated to the Tower over the years following the mysterious Dark Age, converting them to the audio format of the newly invented mnimigraph, and supplementing them with any follow up that might have been reported in the intervening years.
Some of the memories are of danger, some of romance or life changing encounters or even rediscovering that which was thought forgotten. And together they begin to form an outline of a greater story being told, if only someone can read it.
This announcement features the voice of Gina Moriarty, and original music by Evangelos Anastassatos.
