Amalar Arc 1 Ep 1: The Obelisk at Bonbihr Mountains
Added 2020-11-24 22:47:06 +0000 UTC
Spin that wheel! After a hefty lore dump, our first crew of heroes start their adventure! This ep has some classic fantasy stuff like cars with feet for wheels, VIP passes, and cabbage soup!
(Separately there's a giant Obelisk that crashed into some mountains a few decades ago. Almost forgot that part!)
Where has this PODCAST been all my life!!!!!!!

Definitely hoping to change it up a little bit! I don't necessarily see straying into extremely realistic or gritty territory, but i have no goals to continue with more groups of children lol.

Zac this fuckin' rules. Dope world, the encounter was interesting and fun too! Promising start. I'm curious if you're planning to experiment with different tones for other arcs with other heroes? Or is the childlike whimsy gonna be a through line? Obviously comedy is the sweet core of the podcast but you know what I mean.

I'm worried we'll run into some logistical problems with that but def love the idea!

Emily looking back and forth at the horses in her dream and suddenly seeing a Ford Mustang.

I’m assuming characters won’t actually die when the POV shifts after each arc so will there eventually be an Endgame style campaign finale where 12 PCs all reconvene to gang up on Zac? 🤣

I love the rotating heroes concept, several parties adventuring in the same world reminds me of how we used to run TMNT games in high school.

Loved it, Zac! Can't wait for more and to see how the cast changes during different arcs!

I was thinking the exact same thing. From the one big bed of grandparents, to the brattiness of Siobhans character, Willy
Wonka was all I could think of

It's no west wing and wings, but it's off to a great start.

Love the idea, love the cast, love Zac as a chill younger brother DM. Emily's Brenda Elizabeth (BrendaElizabeth for short) is a standout and her line at the craft station "You can smell that I have become a woman" is one of the funniest sentences I have ever heard out loud 😂😂 Thanks so much for putting this together Zac this is an amazing addition to my weekly naddpod fix

Zac I absolutely love the Willy Wonka vibes of all this. Was that planned? The similarities on your part with the mix of Emily and Siobhan’s characters relating to much to Charlie and Veruca???

Hey Zac, is the speaker effect on the obelisk's announcements done in post or is it something you're doing in session, and if the latter what software are you using?

I love when Siobhan plays sassy characters!

Hi Zac, long time listener first time caller. My question is: is the obelisk inspired by the one recently discovered in Utah?
Love the podcast already!

Welp, I've scoured the socials to find out which bard college Trapp's character is, and I've come up empty.

Just for future ties, you go with whoever has the higher modifier! If they are ties again, reroll or home rule :-)
