When The Nettlers (and Taeros) freed the citizens of Nettle from the oppressive control of orc mercenaries, they unknowingly touched off a peasants’ revolt that swept through the kingdom. The people took up arms in the name of an obscure goddess of the hearth called Harmonia, tearing down the established social order in bloody combat and exiling the former nobility of the realm to a hellish extra-dimensional plane. Now, eight months later, Nettle has become the epicenter of the revolution, and the party members find themselves caught between a popular uprising and their unfulfilled promises to the dryads. Can these brave heroes once again unite to complete their quest, or will they end up casualties of a war they helped to start? Listen to find out!

The idyllic village of Beggar’s Hole is a lot more pleasant than its name would imply: its inhabitants enjoy prosperity and comfort thanks to the local turkey ranches and a nearby deposit of magicite crystals that can be mined to produce enchanted items. However, when a shadow storm infects the town’s landfowl, the magical powers of the crystal caves spawn giant magicite turkeys to do battle with the shadow menace, and the innocent villagers are caught in the middle! Now, trapped in the local alehouse, a completely random group of Level 0 characters must survive the melee with only a few improvised weapons and their wits to aid them. Can an onion farmer, a wandering elf, an impulsive alewife, a rat catcher, a dim shoemaker, a falconer, an elderly bard and a budding thief discover the source of the shadow magic before it’s too late, or are they destined to be squashed like bugs on the windshield of high fantasy role playing? Listen to find out!

With the river un-dammed and the ogres set to the task of rounding up the chili golems, The Nettlers (and Taeros) head home to free their town from the orc mercenaries. However, before they breach the walls and enact their foolproof (?) plan to retake Nettle, they’ll need to reconnect with some old friends. Brinton’s brother, Bohrs, who was cast out by their con-artist parents as a child, has been living off the land for most of his life, and when he meets the party in the abandoned bandit camp, he decides to join their cause. A pair of guardsmen freed from their orcish overseer also agree to pitch in to help bring down the corrupt commander of the town guard, Baldric. Can the Nettlers (and Taeros) end the reign of Lord Edwardson, liberate Nettle from a band of tribeless orcs, and save the people they love, or will all their efforts thus far be in vain? Listen to find out!

Following their parley with the dryad council, the Nettlers head back to the ogre camp in order to regroup and plan the liberation of their hometown from Orcish forces. However, when one of the freed slaves reveals that he is, in fact, a slaver colluding with the ogres, Pendrel decides to have him killed, and Barnabas is forced to intervene by the oath he swore to Techumsah. The others, who have also noticed Pendrel’s darkening behavior since assuming command of the ogre tribe, beg him to see reason, but he refuses to listen. Can the Nettlers once again work together as a team, or are these differences of approach destined to tear the party apart? Can they make it back to Nettle in one piece, let alone rescue it? Listen to the latest episode of our Dungeon World campaign to find out!
