Episode notes
The forgotten town of Fortune's Fields lies in the shadow of a mesa. Desert winds stir across the Free Roads, carrying the low, mournful calls of jackals. The streets lie quiet, sun-bleached and cracked, littered with the remnants of shops and abandoned homes. Across the train tracks, half-buried in sand and shadow, a mine shaft waits, its mouth dark and inviting. Fortune is found only by those desperate enough to follow it into the unknown.

Interlude: Alf Gappen Was Here
In the frozen hills of Rhuv, the Sigrunsgjalfi Children’s Home sits silent beneath a sky of unfamiliar stars. No lights glow in the windows and no signs of celebration mark the coming of Alf Gappen’s Day. Yet in the stillness, a single sleeping child hums a quiet tune that carries impossibly far across the snow. Three spirits hear it and cross the tundra to a place stripped of joy, determined to bring warmth and wonder.

Fiasco! (Part Two)
Our fiasco continues—Italian style! Can the Holy Trinity escape Heaven in time for the wedding? How are they possibly paying for all those chicken taters? And will a tiny pistachio man derail everything? One thing’s for sure: sometimes all you need for nuptial dreams to come true are your lungs, your heart, and a mostly-intact spinal cord.

Fiasco! (Part One)
A simple chicken-tater-funding contract goes horribly wrong when our heroes paraglide straight into hell. Dodging revenge plots, subterranean fish stomachs, and a devil with very specific terms, they just might make it to the altar… if they survive. This is Fiasco! — our first video podcast and a GM-less free-for-all. Join us as we plan a wedding, face sworn enemies, and fully embrace chaos.

HINT! ep4: Just Deserts
And now, for our final course, the denouement. But how will it end? In confession? In violence? In the cold precision of a sickly sweet poison pill, or the white hot bite of black widow? Perhaps. The only things guaranteed in this, our final curtain call, are the same things that are always guaranteed to grow from the soil of spilled blood: lawyers, guns, and money.

HINT! ep3: Will They, Won't They
Our interlocutors do as the Romans do and pipe up, sweating through their first interrogation, but Cass finds himself in the cruelest court of all when his paper trail leads the way to new suspicions and old desperations. Not even a nice liberal government can save you from some things, like the smoking, still-warm barrel of a gun.

HINT! ep2: Hate the Player
As blood pools upon the thick pile of the Boddie Estate's imported rug collection, our players, and the game, are afoot. Bodies on the move in voluminous pants and long, dark secret hallways. Revelations and aspersions fill the air of the mansion like fingers between the keys of a grand piano, like a sky-darkening murmuration of starlings, as our heroes begin to uncover the culprit behind this murder most...fowl.
