Icosahedrophilia Podcast, Episode 88: Keeping the Promise, Part 2

Our heroes have been in Markathesh for half a day, and the Broken Promise still remains in the hands of bugbear pirates! Witness the PCs’ next steps toward retaking their ship in “Keeping the Promise, Part 2,” played and recorded on April 24, 2010! Please listen now or subscribe via iTunes, Zune, or plain old RSS. This episode features the following segments:

  • Weighing Anchor: Ed Katayama, proprietor of A Hidden Fortress in Simi Valley (my friendly local game store), calls for your initiative roll.
  • The Staging Area: I briefly explain the circumstances leading up to the adventurers’ visit to Markathesh, and refer new listeners to the “Story Thus Far” recap episode.
  • The Weather Report: The PCs uncover the secret behind Markathesh’s recent “troubles.”
  • The Prop Shop: I describe my use of various props to create the Markathesh waterfront. My Noble Knight pick of the episode is one of those props, the GameMastery Map Pack: Waterfront by Paizo. My FRP Games pick of the episode is the Reaper P-65 Heavy Metal Wereshark, the miniature I used to represent the wereshark the PCs encountered during this play segment.
  • 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. All tracks were used by permission of the copyright holders.
