The Medusa's Cascade

Welcome to a brand new series “Collateral Recap”. We do a deep dive into the episodes with the players of “Collateral Damage” and our bearded DM Tommy. Our host Alex, of Wayward Raven Media, asks us about our choices, headspace, and shines a light on some of our backstories (in and out of the game). We hope you enjoy this first episode with our resident Tabaxis of the party Kyver and Zechs, played by Sebastian and Law. They’ll cover the first 2 episodes of the podcast, some of the unaired “Session One”, how they got involved with the party, how they came up with their characters, and more! We hope you enjoy and may the dice you roll, always have advantage.Hosted by Alex Sapountzis (@asapcandraw)Guests:Kyver / Sebastian (@sebastianbonetart)Zechs Khushrenada / Law (@taosbylaw)Edited by Thomas Lapierre III (@iamthomastbg)Check out the show at themedusascascade.com Hosted on Acast.
