The End of Time and Other Bothers

An improvised fantasy roleplaying game set in the world of Alba Salix, Royal Physician. We use the Dungeon World roleplaying system and improv to weave a tale of flightless fairies, half-demons and cafeteria line workers, dystopian empires, magical waterfalls and mysterious books. Oh, and the end of time—that's in there somewhere too.

Introducing Farlorian Fridays! Other Bothers Play… Larceny

Introducing Farlorian Fridays!It's a new tradition we've started on our Patreon feed: Every Friday, we'll be bringing you a new bit of whimsy from the world of Alba Salix: bonus and deleted scenes, unrecorded scripts and games of various sorts. We'll also post a few to our Alba Salix and Other Bothers podcast feeds, but Patreon patrons get to hear them all and hear them first!We are kicking things off with a recording from this past weekend in which the cast of The End of Time and Other Bothers sat down to play Larceny from Waning Gibbous Games.Larceny is a card game in the style of Apples To Apples or Cards Against Humanity, but one that lends itself very well indeed to improv and roleplaying. It's themed around a heist, with the goal of stealing anything from diamonds to dinosaur DNA. With a pitch like that, how could we resist?If you want to hear more, check us out at patreon.com/albasalix.Find and support our sponsors at: fableandfolly.com/partnersSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I love this show! It took me a while to get into because at first I wasn't prepared for it to be as much or more an improv show than a tabletop show, but now it's one of my faves. The characters are charming and I like that I can tell they're all having fun!
