Episode description

Part 1. We’ll get back to the Bean Barge Trio sometime. For now, we have another party to follow: three travelers embark on a journey to find a mythical cure for a deadly, unnerving, and oft-thought incurable disease. The clock is ticking for one among them--are the adventurers marching toward salvation or demise?

Get ready for an Actual Play mini-series that combines a hexcrawl and adventure supplement. Hop onto your Packsquab and explore the science fantasy world of Cloud Empress with us! 

Content Warning: Violence, Language, Giant Psychic Bugs, Chronic Illness, Body Horror (Skin).

Kaitlyn and Dakota are 2/3 of the Came To Play podcast, often about indie and cult favourite video games. They are so much fun! I love every episode.
