Description

Rashemen is a land steeped in superstition, ruled by witches and entrenched in snow. Berserkers reign and spirits roam the frozen wastes. Yllairies, Keilah, and Mépris all have their own reasons for journeying north, but they soon find they have something in common—they are pawns in a divine plot. Join the broads as they unravel the mysteries of Rashemen. The Broadswords is a non-binary and women-led actual play D&D podcast.

A fantastic combination of intricate setting, lovable characters, and classic DnD antics. The story begins right away and doesn't lose focus for a moment. 11/10
