Risky Standard

After a plentiful and unexpected harvest in the aftermath of a rootquake, the crew of the Verdigale takes some time to investigate their surroundings.Welcome to Risky Standard - Voyage of the Verdigale. Voyage of the Verdigale is a weird-fantasy adventure story set atop the strange and vibrant ocean of treetops known as the Wildsea. It follows the journeys of a research vessel called the Verdigale and its crew as they sail the emerald waves on a mission of exploration and discovery. Along the way they’ll encounter the sentient plants, restless spirits, living storms, and relics of a distant past that populate the bizarre and ever-shifting world of the Wildsea. Risky Standard is an actual play podcast featuring a rowdy group of best friends telling stories together through the medium of tabletop roleplaying games. We like to showcase independently published and small press games, to shape unique and original fictions with a focus on compelling character dynamics and thoughtful, lived-in science-fantasy worldbuilding. This season we’re playing The Wildsea by Felix Isaacs, a ‘post-fall fantasy tabletop roleplaying game set in a rampant ocean of verdant green’ published by Mythworks.Come chat about the show with us on our Discord server. Follow the show on Bluesky - @RiskyStandardOr contact us at - riskystandardpod@gmail.comFeaturingMitch - @MagnesiumBTim - @Axe.HoarderMalcolm - @MalcolmHallPeter - @chipenjoyerCover Art by Yu XiangTheme and Production by Liam Daugherty

“...the author seeks to refute the emerging trend in the literature which characterizes the Verdancy as a moment of cataclysm, the destruction of the world; he should like to posit that the Verdancy instead represents a moment of grand transfiguration, the granting of the world a new Shape - one which this volume shall attempt to describe at length... ” - an excerpt from “The Shape of the Wildsea: An Ontological Survey of the Post-Verdant World” by Claremont Montclair.The crew of the Verdigale have begun their journey towards the distant freeport of Caldermere. Ahead lies the Shaking Boughs, a rough stretch of ocean where the ceaseless shifting of ironroot trees draws salvage and artifacts from the pre-verdant past to the surface. Welcome to Risky Standard - Voyage of the Verdigale. Voyage of the Verdigale is a weird-fantasy adventure story set atop the strange and vibrant ocean of treetops known as the Wildsea.

Centuries ago, the old world was swallowed by forests immeasurable. A new world emerged from the ruins scattered across the endless canopy. Now sailors take to the treetop sea on ships drawn by roaring saws, connecting the distant islands and creating ties that bind them. The verdant ocean is strange and dangerous but it is full of opportunity and wonder as well. Welcome to Risky Standard - Voyage of the Verdigale. Voyage of the Verdigale is a weird-fantasy adventure story set atop the strange and vibrant ocean of treetops known as the Wildsea.
