Icosahedrophilia Podcast, Episode 87: Keeping the Promise, Part 1
The Broken Promise has apparently been commandeered by bugbear pirates! What will our heroes do about that? Find out in our adventure “Keeping the Promise,” played and recorded on April 24, 2010! Episode 87 of the podcast presents part 1 of this adventure. Please listen now or subscribe via iTunes, Zune, or plain old RSS. This episode features the following segments:
- Weighing Anchor: Swordgleam, a.k.a. Hannah Lipsky of Chaotic Shiny Productions, calls for your initiative roll.
- The Staging Area: I go into a little more detail than usual about the background to this adventure, reminding listeners of the PCs’ overall quest and their most recent experiences, ending with their discovery of bugbears operating the Broken Promise in the harbor of Markathesh. As usual, I refer new listeners to the “Story Thus Far” recap episode.
- The Weather Report: The PCs begin to acquaint themselves with Markathesh, and start making plans to retake the Broken Promise.
The Prop Shop: I give a little insight into the latest plot twist and identify some of the inspiration behind Thaddeus Muldoon. My FRP Games pick of the episode is the 4e Tomb of Horrors, currently on sale for 20% off the suggested retail price; my Noble Knight pick of the episode is the classic AD&D Tomb of Horrors, long out-of-print but still available from Noble Knight!- Sea Shanties: This episode features “Racing the Wind” and “Gallows Jig” from the album Phantoms of the High Seas by Nox Arcana, ©2006 Monolith Graphics, and “Degenerate Seaside Town” by Matthew Steckler, ©2010 Sonic Legends.

I hope that you enjoy(ed) listening to “Keeping the Promise, Part 1,” and that you’ll join us when the adventure continues in “Keeping the Promise, Part 2″!
