Icosahedrophilia Podcast, Episode 89: Keeping the Promise, Part 3
Preparations for retaking the Broken Promise continue as the PCs gather intelligence and solidify their plans. Witness the PCs’ next steps toward retaking their ship in “Keeping the Promise, Part 3,” 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: DM Neil from the Nerdbound podcast, which also presents D&D 4e actual play, 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 continue to gather information about the goblinoid pirates, establish surveillance on the ship, and set in motion their plan to retake the Broken Promise—though the real action must wait until our next episode.
The Prop Shop: I credit Exemplars of Evil as the source of inspiration for Captain Gnash, Pog the navigator, Crunglutch the first mate, and Fecar the Unclean—and make that book my Noble Knight pick of the episode. My FRP Games pick of the episode is Paizo’s recent GameMaster Map Pack: Boats and Ships, which I wish had been published before my April 24 game so that I could use its contents to populate the Markathesh harbor. Instead, I used ship tiles from last year’s DM Rewards mailout from Wizards of the Coast.- 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 3,” and that you’ll join us when the adventure continues in “Keeping the Promise, Part 4″!
