When Trick isn't busy making games at Massive Entertainment or spilling words into a novel, he can be found with Briana keeping the Crooked Thimble name alive over on Patreon. He recently put the finishing touches on their production of a lets play podcast using a light hack of the Dungeon World system. Some day he will finish his visual novel inspired by The Yawhg.

Iron Immortals Episode 014: No fluid exchange with the dead, please.

 

As our heroes rush through the Verdwood, they are ambushed at Sapstring Ridge. In the bitter-cold rain, they struggle for their lives against unfeeling, masked opponents. Anton, Riku, and Tristran were meant to provide aid, but will they be mere burdens? How heavy will the guilty conscience weigh should one of these brave souls fall prey to the forest’s predators?

Reed endures, Isolde stomps, and Kaija conducts a strange interview.

Iron Immortals Episode 013: Which of you is the least lucky?

 

Our heroes return to the Verdwood at the bidding of their now much-less-mysterious benefactor, Sir Dagmar Karppinen and the True Originalist “Truthseekers”. Though, our heroes do not embark on this journey alone. Alone or not, the woods are listening, and they will take their toll.

Kaija shoots. Isolde casts. Reed makes a peculiar decision.

Iron Immortals: The First Arc

“I sometimes have regrets.” – Impediment Reed

Our first arc of the Iron Immortals podcast has been an amazing experience. The last time I regularly ran RPG game sessions was back when I was working on Red Dead Redemption down in San Diego. That campaign died, however, when the regular 80-hour work weeks sent me to the hospital for the second time. If I tried to do more than sleep and work, I would collapse. I just lacked the fortitude to go on.

Iron Immortals Episode 010: Sometimes People Just Have Names

The real world needs real heroes, right now. A would-be autocrat has taken the seat of power in America, and we need to resist him. Please head to the ACLU website and take action to preserve our nation and its people. https://www.aclu.org/action

Kaija, Islode, and Impediment have done the impossible. The Greenbark gang is saved. The hidden titan of Harrasreika is shattered. In completing their quest, our heroes have grown in their abilities.

Let’s see what they have learned. And let’s see what new dangers await them.

Iron Immortals Episode 009: The Shattering at Harrasreika, Pt. 6

When we left our heroes, Isolde and Kaija had just shattered the titan of Harrasreika in the hidden underground cavern within the mott. The lights have snuffed out, and creatures skulk and snarl in the darkness. Reed has tumbled down down down into the pit beneath the arena. Her vision swims into darkness as terrible, glowing tiger-sized worms crawl to devour her.

Who will live and who will die when the titan shatters at Harrasreika?
