The Worlds Beyond

A County Affair

All in a block-y design style, a black goat, orange chicken, and brown and grey spotted horse on its hind legs stand in front of a yellow and orange circus. "A County Affair" is written in white over red backing.

Erika Ishii made their Game Master debut on this raucous and rowdy two-shot! Our WBN storytellers take on the form of deranged barnyard animals - specifically Brennan as a chicken, Lou as a racehorse, Aabria as a goat - planning a heist at the county fair. Shenanigans ensue.

Listen to both episodes on our YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts!

Space Cram

We meet our Level 20 superheroes at the peak of their prowess, fighting their nemesis Nunya Business when they get zapped back into middle school and lose most of their powers. Now as just a newt, a golden retriever, and a pixie, they have to win the basketball tournament with life or death stakes. Exclusively on the Patreon.

Class Action

Lou DMs a blend of D&D and sports drafting as Brennan, Erika, and Aabria draft their ideal adventuring party to tackle various challenges. Who is best to fight a displacer beast and four knolls in a crowded market or save Mark Whallberg from fantasy sky plane archers? No repeats, no regrets. Exclusively on Patreon.

Hint!

Erika Ishii GM’s this 4-part murder mystery set just before WWII. Professor Plum (Lou), a weapons scientist turned candy maker, Mrs. Claudette White (Aabria), a queer chef, and Cassidy Green (Brennan), the victim’s fixer, must band together after Mr. Rutherford Body is killed. The trio decode clues in each room, piece together puzzles, and decide who to trust.

Fireside Chats

The cast gets loose and talks process, life, and silliness on fireside chats every other week between main episodes! Most fireside chats are Patreon exclusive.

Highlights include:

Out-of-character discussions of each and every episode.

Character Creation Sessions for our stories.

Bag It or Tag It, a Bachelor-style system built by the one and only Lou Wilson where a PC (Aabria) must choose whether to Bag It (leave romantically with an NPC) or Tag It (take home a sponsored prize). Hosted by Craig Sumgee (Lou), this one is public!

Horner Corner is a frequent segment where Brennan, Aabria, Erika, and Lou play smash or pass with the NPCs of Umora. Check out the special episode with our first ever guest, Grant O’Brien!
