Pretend Wizards: A D&D Podcast

The story draws to a close, and before our heroes lies a choice. The end of one story, but the start of a hundred thousand more. Maybe our heroes choices made the world better, maybe...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-270-happily-ever-after/

It’s the final conflict, a battle royale between our heroes, Crim, Moira, and wherever Shira’s anger filled loyalties currently lie! Who will win, and who will last?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-269-teen-boy/

The battle continues in the endless fields of illusion. Blood and mud, can our heroes conquer the next step of the gauntlet?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-268-furry-awakening/

Just when the crew thinks they’re on top, they fall to the bottom.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-267-fall-to-the-bottom/

At the top of a city, the top of a tower, the world is going to change. All you have to do is get there to see it.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-266-rise-to-the-top/

What happens when you see the smallest on windows to actually win? To take the big bad, the force ruining the world? What would you do?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-265-burn-him-burn-him/

Another charity stream! If you missed the last one where we ate half raw eggs, lemons, and screamed at eachother while dying of fatigue, come hang out with us!

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/extra-life-2019-announcement/

What’s past the door? What’s at the top of the tower? Is it simply a posh funeral, or apex of this mystery? Or just more and more mysteries because that’s how we do things here!

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-264-final-save-point/

Finally a party! Get your drinks, tiny crackers, and let’s see if we can figure out  what’s going on!

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-263-party-schmoozin/

When a fight looks too dire, when the odds are stacked against you and defeat looks inevitable, sometimes the only real thing you need are friends . . .  and violent, body spasming sickness.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-262-socialist-baguette/

Trapped with a wall of death in front of them, and a wall of enemies in front, our heroes desperately bring their talents to the surface, in the hopes to get just that much closer...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-261-roasting-johncast/

Our heroes can only be patient for so long. As the black vehicle begins to burn, so does the situation heat up.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-260-remember-to-breathe/

The heroes of Morty decide to start calling upon their allies, and the dates begin. Can the power of love help our player’s up another level?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-259-black-palanquin/

Slowly mingling with the strange crowd at the funeral, things grow quickly more and more grotesque.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-258-red-gums/

A gift from a forgotten god to their newest acolytes, writhing and powerful.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-257-daisy-chaining-death/

A dark corridor, a strange moss that swallows what it touches, and a strange party. Things are getting stranger, but when our heroes find aid, is the price too high?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-256-the-rot/

We’re Morty’s Boys, and we like to party. But it wouldn’t be an Atla party without a completely contrived puzzle mechanic!

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-255-almost-a-joke/

Warm up the grill at Sizzler, it’s time for these classy adventurers to get romantic!

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-254-baguette-inhalation/

Before any big fight, you need weapons, power, and a fancy costume change. But more then anything, you need the power of the friends you made along the way! Our heroes go out into the...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-253-tactical-dates/

Everyone meets back up to confront Mortimer Crim, but before they can Shira must wake from a dream made of the memories and secrets of her family, and Sapphire Melody has to pick up Mezzo...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-252-perfectly-suitable/

Pia returns home to The Wall, and we get our first, though quiet glimpse, at it’s citizens. But against the quiet of the city, Dweezil and Ragna battle against a strange invader.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-251-pourover-lore/

Time to get paid! Screw glory, altruism, and adventure. What really matters is that money!

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-250-yo-mustard-time/

Underneath a dying sky, Atla lies silent. Is it the silence of the grave, or the quiet before the storm?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-249-infestation-of-bs/

Face to face with their monochromatic adversary, our heroes are finally confronted by Nundinday. Or are they actually an ally? Or something else entirely? Does it even matter if our heroes simply...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-248-crispy-chicken-status-update/

And so our heroes journey back to the surface, leaving the now cold, bright depths of Hadestown behind them. But can they make it safely back to the land of sunlight?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-247-level-6-emoji/

Having direct conversations with a fairy is never easy, and adding the vague poetry of divinity on top of that means our heroes will probably kill the DM by the end of this conversation!

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-246-good-job-janet/

Pia might not be able to tell the difference between a chipmunk and a tree, but thankfully being a proper druid isn’t important here! What we really need is to bring that fire from the...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-245-shopping-sermon/

The fight with the Carillion draws to a close, but will it also close the chapter on a hero’s life? Our players are being slowly whittled down to nothing!

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-244-self-made-grave/

Corral the carillion! Our adventurers need to get the ravenous bells up to their proper place, hopefully without being consumed at the same time, and maybe with a little less attacking eachother.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-243-tetris-magic/

Are we supposed to herd this mass of angry, ravenous, toothed metal, or fight for our lives? Both?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-242-wave-of-bells/

Contrary to the title, it’s time to get things done! To traverse a dark space of memory and loss, to shake the lost people of Hades town from their purgatories of painful nostalgia. And do...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-241-mystery-wrangling-live/

In a world of only memories, surely all you have to do is just remember where you need to be, and you’ll be there! This should be the easiest puzzle yet!

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-240-baking-bread/

When reality is little more then a fragmented quilt of memories, dreams, and loss, does it make something more or less real if you yourself create it? Especially if you really suck at painting.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-239-grandmaster-artists/

In a small, quiet studio, a man coughs, and dreams of something else. In a long, dark expanse, a woodcutter works forever, satisfied and happy.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-238-tb-awareness-day/

In an adventure defined by unreality and illusion, our heroes puncture through the solid rock wall of the earth into an idyllic field, dotted with a single, massive tree. This is definitely compl...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-237-refuse-survival/

Halfway between the past and present, lost in memory, Shay is nonetheless under attack. Can our heroes keep them safe under the assault of art monsters?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-236-carry-me-x2/

They say art has power, but this is probably not what they meant. Is there a truth to be found about Shay’s father, and Hadestown itself, beyond to point of a sharpened, living paintbrush? Is.....

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-235-mod-dreams/

Somewhere in the forest is hidden Shay’s father, and Sapphire Melody is determined to find him, regardless of who she has to electrocute to get there. Can the rest of the group get to her...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-234-cryholes/

Player infighting take two! Can Sapphire escape into the forest? Can Shira keep the group together for just a little bit longer, or will the wily robot slip away?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-233-she-started-it/

Bloody combat! A battle on the edge of reason, from which only one can leave! Abandon your hopes, and make your bets!

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-232-versus/

Holding a strange grabby pickaxe, with the original denizens dropping like flies around them, the group leave the newly active Hadestown and heads for the chamber of the god.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-231-thats-too-long/

Why is the town suddenly filled with normal people? Are they real? More real then the original townsfolk? Clearly the only way to find out is to check their insides with knives and sharp implemen...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-230-medical-professional/

Time to burn down massive impressive structures of incomparable architectural achievement! Just make sure you don’t immolate any children at the same time!

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-229-bong-prison/

Change of plans! Instead of heading up to seee what’s hidden at the top of the tower, let’s run very very fast away. No faster, we wouldn’t want the half dead, smoldering death automaton to...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-228-meteor/

What, a fight?! And not just any fight, but a terrifying construct of bugs, limbs and screaming face. Not to mention what ever emerges from the rain of glass containing objects that seem to have....

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-227-terrifying-thighhighs/

I’m sure a fight with a giant, insect wing vomitting human face is gonna go totally okay! What could possibly go wrong?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-226-too-many-snakes/

Just when you think you have a handle on everything, a festival spawns out of thin air and drops a bunch of really old people in your lap. Time to deal with this, attack the...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-225-market-prices/

Our heroes stumble into a giant strange party! Can they get some good snacks, while also convincing everyone they totally aren’t racist?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-224-reverse-defenestration/

It’s that day of the week again, where another member of the Day’s of Week come to ruin our heroes day! Can they fight them off? Or will the real challenge and threat come from...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-223-its-not-about-being-alive/

It’s time to battle! Small service professionals, inanimate objects! Only the most intimidating villains for our heroes!

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-222-the-dwarf-government/

Our players decide they’ve spent enough time not cutting people open! The only way to find the truth is in meat, like some kind of murderous seer.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-221-ribcage-pinata/

What’s the connection between the 4 paintings? What was the Tot Tit Tot doing here? Can our team find the answers on the streets of Hades town, in the shadow of the spire? And what,...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-220-sacrificial-gnome/

A bare room, four innocuous paintings. The Tom Tit Tot was here, but why? What truth does the stroke of a brush hold?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-219-link-painting/

A modest Tom Tit Tot branch? Where’s the gold, the fine cuisine, the tailored suits??? This is by far the most suspicious thing in the furniture hell that is Hadestown.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-218-gardening-tools/

Hidden behind an old wall, up a dusty stair, past a forgotten room, lies a secret. Perched at the top of Hadestown, is this the key to unlocking the truth of “reality” in this underground...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-217-the-grand-and-the-little/

If the Hadestown Belltower is a mirror of the forest church tower, does that not mean similar secrets exist hidden in it’s walls? Truths and spaces stolen from sight, unspoken events weighing o...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-216-delicate-mechanism/

With all their fumblings, our heroes have yet to devise a way to determine whether or not the people around them are “real” or not. Are they filled with with feathers? Stone?  Does that term...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-215-allegedly-real/

Our heroes are lost in the unforgiving wilderness of the Tartan Wastes, that somehow also exist miles below the worlds surface? Something isn’t right here.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-214-garden-party-fractal/

Questions, questions, questions. But if don’t know what you’re looking for, what use are answers? Time to throw something a the wall and see what happens.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-213/

They’ve spoken to kings, ancient magical beings, murderers and monsters. But what do you say to a god? Especially if you’d really like to avoid getting another curse laid on the pile?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-212-speak-to-me/

Finally, our heroes have an audience with Campana, the mysterious leader of the forest settlement, brimming to the top with questions and accusations.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-211-a-difference-in-perspective/

Our heroes begin the search of the forest Churchtower in earnest, each one stumbling upon another hidden piece of the puzzle, including the mysterious Campana.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-210-grabby-claw/

Are we even still underground? A twin of the Hadestown churchtower stands before us, in the midst of an idyllic countryside. Surely, inside is Campana, and answers.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-209-trout-bomb/

Our heroes fight to escape a web of lies! Or are they? It’s easier to simply fight their way to Campana, their one hope for finding the truth. Or is it?!

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-208-brutal-pruning/

As they settle the townspeople into safe fortifications, the slow degradation of Hadestown makes them wonder what quests they should or shouldn’t pursue.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-207-trust-no-one/

Oh no, our heroes are actually forced to be heroes! Some of the Hadestown residents are cornered, protected only by the weary and bloodied Jeffe.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-206-the-heros-burden/

Trapped atop the city of Hadestown, our heroes see little reason to not brave the dangers of the forest. How could they possibly be worse then the city itself? All they have to do, is...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-205-magical-momentum/

The walls of Hadestown fall, and the nightmare of the forest becomes the waking life of the city.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-204-the-deadly-parade/

Night falls over Hadestown. Surely here, at the bottom of the planet, surrounded by unknowable dangers and mortal threats, the players can sleep soundly and without interuption. Right?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-203-bat-cavalry/

Surely our heroes can’t make the wrong decision again in their traversal of the dangerous forest of Hadestown. They can’t have chosen wrong again, that would just be unlikely!

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-202-check-your-textbook/

Our heroes are positive that a small rustic village shouldn’t be resting in the middle of this deadly forest. But for a few, other things seem to be of greater import: lost friends and old...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/pretend-adventures-2-fiasco-part-one/

A conversation with Bell leads the players to believe something is happening out in the forest. Maybe be following a squad of a soldiers into the unknown, they can pull back the curtains.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-200-energy-drink-poison/

Lost in the forest of Hadestown, Ragna and Pegasus follow their companion through the strange, grave dotted landscapes. Are they risking their lives for the right reasons? What will they find?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-199-the-devils-banjo/

Still wary that it might be a worthless excursion, our heroes journey out into the forest of Hadestown, hoping they find more then death in the pink forest.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-198-grave-goods/

Slowly, our heroes are feeling more and more like they haven’t prepared properly for the mystery that awaits them in Hadestown. What is blarneystone? Why is no one sweating? Is any of this real...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-195-throat-of-hades/

There was a main story?! Our heroes get back to their actually job that they actually get paid for, and journey to Mafic Road, seeking passge to the bottom of it’s massive quarry.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-194-the-shaft/

Who knew the door to the sewer could close! Only Ragna and Sapphire Melody can get out in time, and so it’s up to them to forgo saving themselves and find a way to rescue...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-193-nick-cage/

Time to run! But there might be more in the sewers waiting for them. Someone, something, or maybe just a whole lot of someones, ready to pummel them into the sludge.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-192-bottomdweller/

Dash for the exit, but don’t forget Shira! Our heroes have almost escaped their pursuers when Shira gets knocked out. Can they rescue her and escape without taking further casualties?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-191-i-see-you/

Our heroes finish working on their sly trap, but only feet outside, their enemies stalk the streets looking for them. It’s just a bunch of flunkies tho, surely nothing can go wrong!

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-190-a-fair-deal/

Something is watching Smugglers Cove. Something know our heroes would be here eventually, and it’s been waiting. Can they make it to Morgan without alerting anyone?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-189-sink-forever/

The storm rages in Not-Loggerspoole. With a newly created exit only feet away, the players need only fight their way through the torrential downpour long enough to escape, hopefully with both the...

How can anyone be expected to solve a puzzle in a world that doesn’t follow the same rules as our own? What is logic in an ever shifting alien roomscape? Better figure it out, only...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-187-actual-old-man/

Trapped in a strangely isolated HQ, our players search for someway to escape a gross watery grave, as the Days of Week watch on silently, passively.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-186-death-by-cream/

When Robespierre wakes, what will he have to say? Will he divulge his secrets willingly, or will he require some of Shira Snow’s gentle “encouragement”?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-185-laundry-day/

A pile of corndogs can only lie around so long. Eventually, they need to be put to use. The team decides to finally assemble the antidote, collecting the final ingredients quickly.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-184-preorder-bodyparts/

As the dust settles, it’s time for the battles that aren’t sung about. Plans to take care of those bereft of hearth and home, and reunions with hard-hearted family.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-183-the-price-of-nepotism/

It’s time to fight the main behind the burning curtain. But Hickory hasn’t stopped his assault, and the damage begins to mount. Can our heroes survive, let alone end the fight in time?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-182-oontz-wizard/

The clock is ticking down on Hickory’s life, and our heroes begin to despair at what seems like a hopeless fight. Can they find the path to rescue him?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-181-almost-disaster/

Oh painful, obvious, irony-of-ironies. Our heroes have found their friend, but the field of battle is no place to rescue an ally.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-180-hickory-spiced/

The riddle looms over battle and blood. Will a simple turn of phrase spell doom for the heroes? Have they conquered everything in their path so far only to fall to some well thrown bottles...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-179-bathroom-confessional/

Blood, pain, fury. Combat rages, but soon our heroes most feared opponent rears it’s head: Riddles!

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-178-riddlebots/

A battle for blood and life rages on, but on the outskirts the rest of the crew tries to see if they can’t make a quick buck. It’s not like the next opponent will have...

The Pit calls for blood of warforged, but the only thing spilled so far is wizard blood and dwarven alcohol. Can our heroes keep winning, or will their next mysterious opponent take them out.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-176-beard-beer/

Blood and music, sweat and dreams. All can be found in the chaos of the pit. The only question is if our heroes will find the truth there too, as they walk into the arena...

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-174-in-the-club/

Our heroes press deeper into the Lower Bailey, pursuing the smallest of threads towards looming mysteries. Who knows to what depths it could lead them, or even what familiar faces.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-420-professional-podcasters/

Revelations about their enemies, discoveries of strange new magics, none of this matters in the face of maybe getting paid!

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-172-the-perfect-heist/

Something is hiding between the walls. The children of the Happy Sunshine Orphanage knew something was watching, by what and why?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-171-powdered-children/

Our heroes accept a new job, but before they get to work, they take a small detour to Central Atla, seeking out the lost trolley man.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-170-whispers-of-the-lost/

Finally, The morning is here. The danger of the night falls away, and all that’s left is level ups, magical rewards, and fantastic wealth. Just ignore your missing friends and enjoy yourself!

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-169-fleeting-wealth/

While some are woke in the middle of the night, alone against the shadows, at Pegasus Place our heroes spot something hiding in the forest. But it should be fine, after all how dangerous could...

Oh no! Something strikes in the middle of the night! How could anyone have known? Can Shira and Sapphire conquer what lurks in the night?

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-167-just-silently-die/

The chase is over, and our heroes go about setting up the orphans in the giant fey manor of Pegasus. Or, at least they will if Pegasus and Shira manage to escape their own assailants.

http://www.pretendwizards.com/podcast/episode-166-false-alarm/

Keep running and don’t stop running! Unless maybe you’re Shira and Pegasus, in which case, stop running and fight 20 men all on your own.
