An Impregnable Missive, Pt. 4

Out west – far west, past rebuilt Freehold, past ruined Blackhold and ravaged Silberg, past even Jethro’s remote cabin and its terrible cellar, over the god-made walls of that primordial fortress you call the Black mountains, down the foothills where the downtrodden many pull precious stones from the living rock, for the benefit of the privileged few – there is a town on the plains. The inhabitants of this town would be called Urrkyet by the Elves, that is to say Orcs in the common tongue of the Eastern realms. Most of this episode is about them.

But also Nia catches a really rough break.

What We Do When We Tell Stories (with Amanda, Julia, and Eric of Multitude)

Today’s bonus content is a conversation that Zach and Christian had with Amanda McLoughlin, Julia Schifini, and Eric Silver of Multitude fame. We talked about the role that storytelling plays in society and how that intersects with roleplaying and self-conception.

We’re also pleased to announce that we’ll be in production for our next chapter November through early December. We’ll be announcing official release dates once we’re a little ways into post-production, but hopefully early 2019.
