The path through The Endless Forest is long and dangerous, but Bogha finds an unexpected snack along the way. Yriel discovers mushrooms that either give you great power... or kill you. Sal stands up for his friends and learns that bravery al...

The Scorchborn Saga part 5!

The adventurers finally arrive at the Viridian Cove, the small port town at the edge of The Endless Forest, and IMMEDIATELY concoct a scheme to use Hilo's coveted signature to bribe a guard for information. It goes just about as well as you'd think.

Still searching for any more signs of Maz, they stop in Reney's Revelations and meet a fortune teller who gives them visions of a future that may be, if they don't hurry. Any time wasted, any misstep, could spell the end for their beloved friend.

The Scorchborn Saga Part 5!

Buckle up folks, this one gets heavy.

The Scorchborn Saga continues with Part 4!

The closer the Ashen Crown sails to The Endless Forest, the closer the party is to finding out what has become of Maz, but they haven't made it to shore yet, and a storm is brewing over the sea. 

After a delicious breakfast where everyone (Sal) tried to get more than their share of the potatoes, the party makes the best possible choice - split into two groups, one investigating the rats in the cargo hold of the ship, and another exploring the mysterious locked door in the galley t...

And now for something completely different! 

The Naturolls take a break from your regularly scheduled program for a SPECIAL SPOOKY SEASON ONE-SHOT (that we're releasing in two parts because editing takes a long time, but that's not important right now)! 

Jen takes over as the GM to guide a whole new cast of characters through the case of Bodenhammer Manor, a family home troubled by mysterious happenings. What could be causing the unseasonable cold or the rapidly dying plants? And what of the plague of nightmares and hallucinations? The Society for Benevolent Intercession solves such my...

The Scorchborn Saga Part 3!

Safely aboard the Ashen Crown and en route to the Endless Forest to find Maz, our adventurers are presented with a rare moment of rest, which starts with Toko fishing and nearly ends with Sal lost overboard, the ship and his friends sailing on without him. Svetlana investigates a mysterious sailor with a creeping scar on his neck. And what does Bogha find behind a door she isn't supposed to open?

All that, and a very special gift for the party from Svetlana, in this episode of... The Naturolls!

The Scorchborn Saga Part 2!

Having cleaned up a mess in the back of the Deadeye Saloon, the party heads back to the Ashen Crown to rest and recap with Captain Daemir Bloodwake. Their final goal in Kraken's Harbor before setting sail to the Endless Forest? Investigating the goings-on at the storehouse of the Jagged Knife. What lurks for them in the shadows? And what, in the deepest depths of the building, shines brightly at Svetlana's presence?

THE START OF OUR SECOND ARC - The Scorchborn Saga

After leaving the dungeon below Skyland, the party rests and wakes up in the morning to startling news - Maz has gone missing. The only thing she left behind was a note saying not to follow her... so of course the party, with help of new friend Salvador Darkwalker, immediately starts retracing her steps. 

The first step takes them to Kraken's Harbor, a dock on the northern coast of The Shatterlands. It's pretty a pretty typical shipping port, full of colorful characters and sights to s...

THE END OF OUR FIRST ARC!

Our plucky band of adventurers reach the end of the dungeon and the monster who hides there, and are horrified to find that he recognizes one of them. They discover a ritual that may be at the heart of the destruction of Skyland, and decide that there's no negotiating with evils from your past. 

PLUS a cliffhanger so good, it just might change the future of The Naturolls FOREVER.

Our first arc, The End of the 100 Year Peace, concludes with this episode. Next episode begins... The Scorchborn S...

This dungeon beneath Skyland just keeps going, doesn't it? As the adventurers inch ever closer to the answers that they seek, more foul creatures lie in wait to ambush them. Toko stumbles on a memory of his past, hinting that whatever lies ahead may be more personal for him than the rest of the party. Maz goes on the offensive and almost takes it too far. Bogha stands toe to toe with a monster ten times her size. Yriel captures a villain. Svetlana reasons with him. Hilo stabs something clean through. Pazu does cool sandcat things.

All...

Our plucky band of adventurers have a quick decision - face the guards who've just watched Bogha's magical transformation, or push through the door into the dark, foul-smelling unknown deeper in the dungeon below Skyland. Something waits for them beyond that door. Will they creep past or charge headfirst into whatever lurks there?

Plus! Our GM goads the players into making a potentially profitable but dangerous decision, and Yriel whips up a little surprise for Toko.

Our brave adventurers dive deeper into the dungeon below Skyland, searching for answers about what caused the destruction on the city above them. After reconnecting with a friend, they charge head first into more of the Jagged Knife, throwing axes first and asking questions... never. A run-in with a magic mirror leaves them questioning some of their choices. And once again, they devise a plan so crazy that maybe it just might work.

Even a city in the sky has a seedy underbelly...

The adventurers enter the dungeon below Skyland looking for answers. Instead, they find an unexpected friend and the opportunity to make a complicated plan involving costumes, fake captors, hidden swords, and the admiration of butts. 

Will our brave heroes fool the guards and gain entry into the darker depths of the dungeon? And what will they learn about the destruction of the shining capital city above them?

Skyland is burning and the crew still has this little problem of the boy they "rescued" from the woods. Who do they help? How do they do it? What will they learn when they head into the destruction of the once great city? Will Padre's Potatoes still be standing, or is all hope lost?

Sorry, friends. No new main episode this week. 

Instead, John (@teecha.bsky.social) and Michael (@revealingtoomuch.bsky.social) sit down for a brief chat of some of the major rules of the TTRPG system we're running, Daggerheart.

We're hoping it helps you understand our show better!

Bonus episode time! Good Morning, GM Session 0

To celebrate the official release of Daggerheart, John (teecha.bsky.social) and Michael (revealingtoomuch.bsky.social) sit down to discuss the process of bringing the story of The Shatterlands to life. Along the way, we discuss GM mistakes, what we've learned running (and playing) a year of Daggerheart, and even delve into the depths of ourselves to ask the question - what do the stories we tell mean?

In Episode 3, The Naturolls find themselves in the middle of the woods surrounded filled with bandits and bears. They work their way to another camp and find the boy they've been sent to rescue, but they learn that what they were told might not have been the entire truth (or the truth at all).
