Side Character Quest Podcast

Side Character Quest (SCQ) is a fantasy anthology series running since 2018.  In each short quest, the show's host takes a single guest player on a journey through a larger shared world.  Quests are usually 3-6 episodes long, and listeners can generally start the show at the beginning of any one of them!  The show usually uses D&D 5e to run its “actual play” episodes, but occasionally the show uses other game systems, is fully improvised, or takes the form of scripted “audiobook-style" short stories.

This world is a peaceful one. Plains, mountains, swamps, pines...  Cicadas sing, rivers flow, magic thrums through the air, and all of it's surrounded by a single massive wall that is as ancient as history itself.

...which is to say, not THAT ancient.  Thanks to the Loss, "prehistoric" ain't all that long ago.

Ah, well!  Life is good, assuming you don't mind the looming threat of a mysterious skeletal society.

Some worlds need a hero.  This one... might need a bit more than that.
