Synopsis:

Welcome to the Crit-Award Nominated Minds Never Matter Podcast!


We're a group of five friends running a narrative-driven homebrew campaign based on 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons. Our current campaign follows four budding adventurers: Emilia Victosolis, the Paladin noble with a not-so-heart of gold; Pogo Stardust, the hard-working Barbarian doing his best to become a Wizard; Cecily Belghriom, a bubbly Cleric with the same vibe as a homeschooled church fanatic; and Sartheleon Grey, the charmingly self-centered Rogue with more problems than his aim with a dagger as they take on one of the most stressful challenges of their lives: becoming college students.


Taking place on the continent Divitotum, comprised of seven unified regions, our party comes together after being enrolled in the Adventuring College of Elona, the center most region in Divitotum. The college is known for training some of the top adventurers in the world, and each of our "heroes" have their own motivations and reasons for coming to the school as freshman. As the four begin to bond as a party and get used to their newfound independence at the school, weird things start happening that may indicate there's a much larger threat than midterms looming on campus.

In our 17th session, the History Exhibition kicks off to celebrate Family Day. To nobody's surprise, Cecily's twin brothers interrupt the ceremonies with a special game show with the best of intentions. Meanwhile, Emilia begins to hear the voices of a bygone era call out to her; Sartheleon is ordered to do something that puts everyone in danger, and Pogo tries to figure out what he would do if Cecily turned into a worm. 


Could this event spell a permanent divide for our not-quite-heroes?

Episode 16 - Family Day Begins

Thu, 14 Nov 2024 10:00:00 GMT

In session 16, Pogo and Cecily head back to campus after fending off the monster plant in the mall and catch up with Emilia and Sartheleon in just in time to attend the History department's assembly. After getting the opportunity to see some of these legendary artifacts in person, something strange happens as Emilia's body and mind begins to connect with a mysterious pair of gauntlets on display. On the eve of the long-awaited Family Day, Pogo surprises his party members with special gifts catered to their personalities. 


As the festivities officially kick off, the party is finally reunited with their family members for the first time since leaving to attend ACE. Emilia's mother and father, the duchess and duke of House Victosolis, arrive with a cold grace fitting of their noble household; Nualla Stardust, child prodigy and younger sister to Pogo finally returns to provide her older brother with the comforts of home; Cecily's adoptive father and younger brothers arrive to cause mischief around campus; and Sartheleon's two mother figures show up with their pre-prepared, secret identities.

Episode 15 - To the Moondollars

Wed, 30 Oct 2024 09:00:50 GMT

Welcome to session 15 of the Minds Never Matter Podcast!


In the aftermath of the party's first ever house party, ACE's Family Day looms over our not-quite heroes as they prepare for the festivities. Cecily and Pogo, the glue that they are, invite the party (and their many friends) to their local-corporate-coffee chain for breakfast to catch up on everything that's happened since they made it back to Elona.


Emilia and Frederic are once again on the outs as she once again fails to recognize boundaries and pushes too hard for answers from her estranged fiancé's sudden shift in attitude; Sartheleon grapples with his orders to assassinate Emilia; Cecily and Kiran may or may not have just become canon; and Pogo indulges in one of life's simplest pleasures: hot chocolate.


Plus, we learn that the college will be showcasing a series of ancient, magic artifacts before Family Day.

Episode 14 - Drama on the Dance Floor

Wed, 16 Oct 2024 09:00:27 GMT

In our 14th session, the party continue to try and fit in at one of ACE's first parties of the year with mixed success after being kicked out when they initially tried to get in with the cool kids.


Cecily tries to make amends with the jock who kicked them out, Pogo studies up on a step-by-step guide on cheering up crying girls, and Emilia and Sartheleon are, once again, exchanging glances and sharing dances that imply the two are headed for a not-quite-friends but not-quite-romantic relationship.


Plus, we finally get some more information on Frederic's mysterious lost lover Violetta, and how many toes the captain of the cheer squad actually has.

Welcome to the Minds Never Matter Podcast!


In session five, the party decide to travel by train to Laxor to investigate the secret message (ransom note?) left behind at the scene of Cook's kidnapping after the party ran to Emilia's dorm room to hide from the authorities to complete their somewhat successful heist. While hiding out in her dorm, they realize Frederic has become way less of a jerk than he was before after seemingly swearing an Oath of his own. Whether the kidnappers, or Pogo, are more of a threat to society, however, has yet to be seen.

Episode 1 - The Adventure Begins

Wed, 01 Mar 2023 07:09:00 GMT

Welcome to the Minds Never Matter Podcast!


We are a real-play, narratively driven homebrew campaign that follows four budding adventurers as they take on their most perilous challenge yet -- being college students.


In our first ever session, we get introduced to each of our party members: Emilia Victosolis, the Paladin noble with a not-so-heart of gold; Pogo Stardust, the hard-working Barbarian doing his best to become a Wizard; Cecily Belghriom, a bubbly Cleric with the same vibe as a homeschooled church fanatic; and Sartheleon Grey, the charmingly self-centered Rogue with more problems than his aim with a dagger as they're whisked away for Orientation Day at the Adventuring College of Elona -- the top university in Divitotum for preparing potential adventurers to join one of the many guilds that can be found in the world upon graduation.


As the party try to connect with each other for the first time despite their very obvious differences, they're given their first task as an official adventuring party: signing up for clubs and extracurriculars.
