Synopsis:

Hey There! We're The Weed Cats. This is Ridin' To Hell Or Highwater, our first campaign.


It's been 200 years since The Fall, humanity was sent to the brink of extinction, though they've somehow managed to pulled through. The Earth, who's surface was rattled by the rages of war, hasn't been so lucky. Oceans have dwindled drastically in size, Forests were obliterated, cities were destroyed. The vast, flourishing prairies and the rich, arable farmlands were wiped away, replaced by empty expanses of sand. There are small slivers of life left from the aftermath of total nuclear annihilation and in these slivers, humanity thrives. From the former swamps in Louisiana, now turned to farmland, to the bustling oceanside towns, well, what's left of the ocean. This land known in one point in time as Dixieland is now the Meridional Coalition, though these cities are far and few, they work together and with the help of Caravans, they keep each other alive. They keep The Dream alive.


As the sun sets over the quiet wasteland, the gleaming moonlight cast its light on a group of shadowy figures.

Adorned in feathered headdresses masks and large robes covered in feathers. They are assembled in a circle, with a fire in the middle. One is holding a long staff with a small animal skull fashioned to the top. As they dance and chant into the dark of night. A giant blast of purple light fills the sky, with a giant streak of red lightning crashes to the ground.

Ridin' To Hell Or Highwater - Prologue

Sat, 08 Apr 2023 00:14:58 GMT

Welcome to the first campaign of D&D With The Weed Cats! This Episode is dedicated to the events that have transpired since we started playing, considering we started to play before we decided to record it. It's a little weird and a lot of information, but we didn't want to leave anyone in the dark. Episode one will be Releasing later this week with the first full session. Also, I am very sorry about the background noise, my PC fans are very loud and I am working towards a replacement fan/better mic.


The year is 2285. It's been 200 years since The Fall, humanity was sent to the brink of extinction, though they've somehow managed to pulled through. The Earth, who's surface was rattled by the rages of war, hasn't been so lucky. Oceans have dwindled drastically in size, Forests were obliterated, cities were destroyed. The vast, flourishing prairies and the rich, arable farmlands were wiped away, replaced by empty expanses of sand. There are small slivers of life left from the aftermath of total nuclear annihilation and in these slivers, humanity thrives. From the former swamps in Louisiana, now turned to farmland, to the bustling oceanside towns, well, what's left of the ocean. This land known at one point in time as "The Southern US" is now the Meridional Coalition, and though these cities are far and few, they work together to keep each other alive. They keep "The Dream" alive.
