When we last left our heroes, they had just infiltrated the compound of a Peruvian drug czar and his gang in order to both rescue Freddie and get him killed. Adversary scientists hold Young Freddie prisoner somewhere on the premises, attempting to extract something very potent from his magical essence. If the Titor House gang doesn’t stop them soon, they’re going to open a tear in the space-time continuum that will have dire consequences for The Employers and all of human history. However, first Tyger, Dan, Jack, Freddie, Pat and Brandon will need to pull together as a team and put their differences aside to accomplish the task at hand. Can they manage this unprecedented feat of solidarity, or is the world as we know it completely doomed? And what of Freddie’s assertion that he will die before this mission is over? Listen to find out!

It’s been a year since the terrorists dropped crystals of Ice-Nine into the water sources of the world’s population centers, plunging humanity into a deepening crisis. As the frozen death spread outward from its various origins, the inhabitable areas have shrunk and the weather has grown increasingly violent. Now, one man has created a vehicle that can survive the devastating conditions of the contamination zone, providing the survivors with their first opportunity to reverse the process that is slowly killing their environment. A dying national guardsman, an alcoholic engineer, a depressive medic and a guilt-ridden scientist set off on an epic journey to retrieve the mother crystal of Ice-Nine from Austin, Texas, in the hopes of finding a way to undo the destruction. But in order to complete their mission, they’ll have to face a lot more than harsh terrain and terrifying ice tornadoes. Forces of opposition are stirring in the wastes, enemies that will push the team to its limits and force them to confront their own personal demons. Will their desperate gambit succeed, or will their mission be lost in the cold? Listen to find out!

One year after the tragicomic events of the First Annual Nettle Chili Cook-off, the town is on the verge of collapse. A vicious army of orc mercenaries holds the townsfolk hostage, seemingly in collusion with Lord Edwardson, the greedy nobleman who rules Nettle Manor. Choking taxes and tariffs have driven the market traders away, and the fields have lain fallow since the onset of an unnatural drought that dried up the river. Those who leave town have their property confiscated, resorting to banditry on the roads, while those who remain starve in their homes. Nettle’s citizens need a hero—or better yet, a team of heroes!—to rescue them from certain doom. When Barnabas, the faithful paladin of Techumsah, journeys forth in search of just such a band of champions, he finds a motley gang of adventurers who just might do the trick. There’s Avon, the wizard who was cast out of town as a youngster, struggling to be a good person in spite of himself. Pendrel, the bard, left Nettle over a decade ago to seek his fortune as a musician, but ended up a captive in an ogre’s lair. Finally, there’s Taeros, an elf druid traveling south from the Great White Tundra, who befriends the Nettlers and throws his lot in with their cause. Can this ragtag group of heroes save Nettle from the aftermath of a fiasco? Listen to find out!

Ophelia Takes Charge ◊ Mr. Poe’s Wild Ride ◊ Negotiating with Monsters ◊ A Merry Chase with Deputy Packhammer ◊ Lying Like A Rug ◊ Dr. Davenfirth [sic] Metes Out Punishment ◊ Secret Lovers and Unpaid Debts ◊ A Very Soggy None Of Your Business ◊ The Orphans Slip By Again ◊ The Bed Check ◊ Jareth Stirs Up Trouble ◊ Family Tragedies And Seething Enmity

In this episode, the children scramble to get back to Candlewick Manor before Dr. Davenfirth [sic] and the rest of the staff discover that they’re missing. Noch, Duncan, Jareth and Karl will have to deal with a danger junkie demon car, and Dotty will have to keep Cecil calm enough to cover for them while they’re away. Can they convince Poe to stop speeding and take them home? Will Dotty get in even more trouble just to prevent the others from getting caught? And finally, just what do these Capulets and “Mon-teg-ways” have against each other, anyway? Listen in to find out!

NOTE: The Dreadful Secrets of Candlewick Manor is now on hiatus until further notice. As some of you may already be aware, Chris has been absent from our gaming circle for quite some time due to a prolonged illness. A few weeks ago, he was diagnosed with cancer. Thankfully, the prognosis is good, and he is currently undergoing treatment. We’ve decided to place this campaign on hold until he is once again able to resume his role as Cecil, as the unique tragicomedy of The Candlewick Home for the Unwanted and Unloved would not be the same without his jovial presence at the table. In the meantime, all of us at Rag-NERD-rok wish him a speedy and painless recovery.

Get well soon, buddy!
