Natural Six

Aoife went out for milk. We are sure she will come back for us eventually, but while we wait for her return and her love, let’s talk about everything that happened in episode 47, and a whole bunch of other stuff, too.

This episode really was all about the race, and we absolutely have to give Harry his flowers for everything he put together and how perfectly it came together in the end. A special mention also goes to Harry’s wife for the beautiful arts and crafts diorama that brought the whole thing to life.

We take a deep dive into the mechanics for each district, the stats of the ships and crews, and how each one felt genuinely unique. Harry even designed his own version of a Mario Kart blue shell for the finale (thanks for that). We talk about the gorgeous boat Mark from Crafted Campaigns sent over for the race, how we broke it, how we broke it some more, and how we nearly didn’t have any other minis because the Uber driver thought we might be shipping drugs.

We also spent some time talking about Raidion, the Thornbears, and how fun it might be to start exploring that thread further. Plus, we all agree that Kelnys is totally proficient with panpipes, and that Aoife was rolling so badly this episode that she more or less went through the full stages of grief.

There are moments when spirits sink low, and the world needs something bold enough to send a ripple running through the darkness. Hope always has a way of coming back to the surface, rising on a swell of laughter, competition, and the kind of enthusiasm that refuses to stay anchored for long.

Sometimes all it takes is a little mischief to keep the current moving. And when the race begins? Well, decorum might take a holiday, rules might drift conveniently out of sight, and the idea of always coming first becomes a touch…shellfish. Tricks can set the tide turning, bold choices can leave the competition half-mast, and every stroke sends another wave of chaos across the bow. After all, when the spirits need lifting, what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

But somewhere between the splashing, scheming, and spirited rowing, joy begins to crest again. Because sometimes, to stay afloat, you have to let go, lean in, and trust that even the choppier waters can carry you forward. And if you happen to ruffle a few feathers on the way to brighter shores? Well, that’s all part of the plan!

We like 'em cold, we like 'em hot. It's time for this week’s Action Surge!

This week we talk about bad luck, poor rolls, and everyone’s note-taking abilities. Nobody will be surprised to learn that some people are better at this than others. Welcome to the Alex Jordan mind palace.

We think everyone agrees that the Temple of the Once Wild was a pretty special place. We talk about Magnus, Harry’s inspiration behind him, and let’s be honest, we all agree that Magnus and Lovak would have got into a lot of trouble in the past. Good trouble. Well, bad good trouble. You know what we mean.

From there, we turn our attention to letters, language, and Theolon, a god of two halves. Those letters might not be as unknown as they once were, and if you need a reminder of what they said, you can find them, and so much more, over on our Fandom. Don't forget to check it out!
Harry talks about the challenges of balancing multiple character stories and arcs, and how he switches between them. Ben shares some insight into how he is playing Raidion right now, including the mashing and merging of character sheets.

Finally, we look ahead to Harry’s next big action sequence, the upcoming boat race, and why action at the table does not always have to mean fighting and battles.

Is this our Podracing moment?!

Sometimes a spark is all you need. A twinkle in a tavern window, a reminder that even in a world where the shadows threaten to flood, light can still be found. And when talk turns to chance, it becomes easy to wonder what might happen if you are willing to take the risk. Even if you only have a 10% chance of succeeding, sometimes it is more about the adventure you have along the way.

Yet certainty can still feel fragile. A weight too heavy, whispers too sharp, and a hand that refuses to loosen its grip no matter the ask. Strength can feel simple until it is questioned, and harder still when you cannot tell who you need to defend it from.

When the time comes, the world might demand a choice. And when life sets two paths in front of you, it can feel like a race to the top. In those moments when you are searching for joy, it’s a test of whether you have the strength to climb and the ability to hold on. And while the ride might be bumpy, the corners sharp, and sometimes even a little greasy underfoot, when you make it to the finish line, a little extra movement can go a long way.

Join us for the second part of our adventure with Drakonym, a brand-new TTRPG coming soon from the team at ⁨Crossed Paths

With Ruby Rebellion sashes in hand, the race is on. Not soldiers, not quite, but to move forward they must prove themselves, not through loyalty or words, but action.

Competition has a way of sharpening things. Old rivalries resurface, tempers fray, and the line between friendly challenge and something more dangerous begins to blur. Out here, nothing stays simple for long.

Yet the road does not belong only to conflict. There are moments of quiet, and of shared wonder. Under moonlight, dragons reflect something ancient and hopeful, reminding them what this fight might be for. Those you want to protect. Those who stand beside you. The answers you seek.

Sometimes, the future doesn’t arrive with a roar, but with the sound of something beginning to break free.

Want to know more? Get ready for Drakonym, keep up with all the details, and pre-order your copy now:
