No Return: The Fate of Daya


20 episodes


Full cast Fantasy Longform Audio RPG


Synopsis:

As some of you may know, Erset La Tari; The Land of No Return, began life as a 'homebrew' Table Top Role Playing Game (TTRPG) setting.


Thanks to the immense talents of Dylan Smith (GM of Hearthfire Tales, as well as the voice of Sergeant Gavin Fern and Niillas Janicek on No Return) we are able to bring No Return to you in the form of a TTRPG Actual play.


Co- Gamemastered by Dylan and Kier Zhou and played by the recognisable vocal talents of Jack (Tommo), Gemma (Ysenda, Thae Oraen & Cinnte) and Cameron (Amghar, Jyce Inacio, and the new voice of Deky and Ayelen). We are truly excited to bring the world of No Return to you in a more improvised, player led and spontaneous format where the players decisions and the whims of the dice will decide 'The Fate of Daya'.

They have faced a feinting force. They have faced insurgents in the city. They have faced the mysterious machinations of Alaric Sylwraith and they have faced the political arena of the colleges. But now the Warlords are here to play for real. 


Will the party be able to muster the motley band of Sun and Moonshields to defend the city walls against a prepared and disciplined force?


I guess you should probably listen to find out!

All seems well in Daya and the war is finally going the right way! Daya’s Army and it’s allies are marching to the destruction of the warlords who have plagued the land for almost a century. Hope is in the air, a new future just on the horizon… nothing could possibly go wrong.


Welcome to our vibrant world where gods have abandoned mortals and an intriguing adventure awaits you.


Uncover the secrets of the city of Daya together with our exceptional players - Cameron, Gemma, and Jack and, our amazing GM, Dylan (Kier is also present). 


Follow us as we navigate through Daya’s bustling streets and uncover the city's complex dynamics.


We introduce Jack's character, a gentleman in patchwork armour with an intriguing morning ritual and a peculiar fixation on barrels. Meet Gemma’s character, a half-nix, ex merc, member of the Moon Shields! And Cameron’s character! A noble son from the lands to the west, down on his luck and forced to thieve to feed his need for fine clothes!

The Fate of Daya: Episode 0

Sat, 25 May 2024 22:11:12 GMT

Well! Hello there! And Welcome back! I bet you were expecting to be treated to some delightfully non-traditional, scripted radio play format nonsense from the noreturniverse weren’t you? Well! We tricked ya! You’ve actually stumbled on to something a little bit different here with The Fate of Daya: Instead of a traditional radio play you’ve gone and found an Actual Play! No Return has gone back to it’s Table Top Role Playing Game Roots and Dylan, Kier and Gang and playing an improvised story game set in the Land of No Return. Wait! Wait! Don’t Skip this one yet! You might actually like it! It’s a bit like an audio drama in a lot of ways except well… instead of scripted the dialogue is improvised... Instead of being written by the writers, the characters were created by the players…and they’re fuckin’ wild! Whilst the Gamemasters set the environment and introduce the story…it’s the players who decide where the story goes! It's full of gags, gaffes, feels and that sweet sweet gratuitous violence you keep coming back for!

So if you like No Return, give The Fate of Daya a whirl! Plus… like… it actually fits in with the plot of the other stories so you lore hounds might get a kick out of sniffing out some of the story seeds and plot threads.

Sit back, listen and enjoy the No Return Acutal Play and discover: the Fate of Daya!
