Flame & Shadow: a Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition actual play podcast

Episode 2: Into the Toadsqauts

Recorded on July 17th, 2021

The world of the Forgotten Realms was torn asunder 29 years ago. Now referred to by most folk as "the sundering", the realm saw holes torn open in reality and from those holes dark energy of the Shadowfell, or the passionate chaos of the Feywyld poured forth infecting and changing the lands.

Zephyr has a vision, the group works off a hangover by getting paid, important information is taken to Ma Olaudran, and as they prepare to head into the Toadsquat Mountains they are spotted by a rival gang.

Discrepancies and forced errors by the Dungeon Master:

• Constance had 3 children in episode 1 and somehow lost a child by the time she was re-introduced in episode 2. DnD with Dads apologizes for the loss of this child. We promise we take better care of our real children.


• Mispronunciation of Sahaugin. We apologize to their kind for the butchering of their name and making it sound like Japanese Shogun. We shall from now on refer to them only by the colloquial “Sea Devils”.


• Mic gain was turned up too high on this episode, we apologize for the crackly quality. It gets better in future episodes, we promise.
