Our adventure continues as Nightshade the Scion ventures deeper into the brine soaked depths of Lowtide Cave, alongside her trusty squire Trout. Will she be able to rout the Kobold menace and save Can'tho? Music by Eric Matyas www.soundimage.org
In this, the pilot episode of Snugs & Serpents, husband and wife duo Alex & Justine begin their long (?) and lucrative (?) journey into the world of roleplaying podcasting. Join us as we play a game of our own creation to fight monsters, save the world, and have a few goofs along the way. In the land of Ludicia there are Scions. Scions are thought to be descended from the Divine Mother - Justiniana -herself. Scions are filled with nearly limitless potential for combat, magics, influence. A Scion can appear at any age, indicated by the sudden appearance of Justiniana's sigil on the base of their neck. The world is in need of hope. Legend tell of the old days in which Justiniana's voice could be heard echoing across the land - giving life, prosperity, and justice - to those who followed her call. But the world has grown dark. Monsters once kept at bay by the goddess have grown in number and ferocity. Scions are called upon to enact the goddess' will, but Scions are people and people have agendas. What kind of Scion will you be? Music by Eric Matyas www.soundimage.org
