A Paladin's Bargain: Season 2, Episode 7: Peer Pressure from Dead People

Season 2 · Episode 7

Monday, July 27, 2026 • Duration 43:46

Chapter Thirteen.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this round without having to roll initiative again. Yes, this began as a comedy podcast. It will continue to be a comedy podcast. And, in the course of human (-oid) events, there must be reverence to balance out the mirth.

Content note: Swearing (2H, 4D, 4S, 1F), apparent character death, and oh by the way, verbal description of war crimes.

Special Shout Out to Tricksy Wizard for their incredibly relevant strip: http://www.deviantart.com/tricksywizard/art/Class-Clown-769235563

A Paladin's Bargain: Season 2, Episode 6: Only a Free Action Away

Season 2 · Episode 6

Monday, July 20, 2026 • Duration 51:07

Chapter Twelve.

The lights are out, you can't see in the dark, and there are several dozen bad people knocking to come in. This isn't a time for a Charisma check.

On the up side, there is a VERY unexpected reunion. What happens next?

Content note: OK, all. I've been glib about the swearing warnings. (3 H*, 3 D*, 2 S*, and 4 F*. I gotta mark this one explicit simply because of the very necessary and cathartic F bombs.) This one has combat and character death. It's noble and inspiring but I've listened to it twenty times and I still can't listen without getting misty-eyed.

This is the next to last episode for Season Two, so get ready for some big reveals.

We're definitely in the thick of it now, friends! Hang on, because help comes from strange places and in unsuspecting packages.

A Paladin's Bargain: Season 2, Episode 1: Toll House, No Cookie

Season 2 · Episode 1

Saturday, June 20, 2026 • Duration 40:06

Chapter Seven. It's the morning after the bank job. The team wakes up to discover new jobs to do and more riddles to solve, some of which they can't talk about. But all that has to wait when the town guard arrives, asking for people by name. Content Note: Combat noise, character peril. One on-mike minor-character death. Minimal swearing (seven "hell"s, one "damn", one "shit")

Welcome back to A Paladin's Bargain. This is the first episode of season two. We'll try to summarize the important bits, but if you're stuck, season one is only four hours long. Heck, that's like one episode of a live-play podcast.

After this episode, we will release the remainder of season two as one episode a week, every Monday.

A Paladin's Bargain: Season 2 Trailer: Proof of Life

Season 2

Sunday, March 15, 2026 • Duration 03:54

Hi all!

This is a quick proof of life to let you know that we're still here and still hard at work on Season Two!

We finished recording all the audio tracks at the end of February, so now it's up to our audio genius to assemble it. (No pressure, Jon. We love you!) We're hoping for a Spring 2026 release.

In the mean time, a few things to consider:

Give season one a re-listen. There are a lot of breadcrumbs scattered about, hidden under all the dad jokes.
Tell your friends! Saint Wil teaches us that being a nerd is not what you love but how you love it. And nerd love means sharing stuff you enjoy with people you enjoy.
Podcasts are not Indian food. A five-star review on your local aggregator is free and it helps us keep our robot overlords happy.
Likewise, please consider emulating the infamous werewolf journalist: Lycan Subscribe. I know, I know, it is the mantra of the 21st Century and yet it helps us show up in searches which helps share the love.

And finally: All music written and performed by Jon Sewell and Christian Stivason. We have the artists' permissions because we are the artists, Apple.

And remember: If you like it: tell your friends! If you don't like it, tell your enemies!

A Paladin's Bargain: Season 1, Trailer

Season 1

Friday, December 20, 2024 • Duration 02:21

It seemed like an easy job, but nothing is ever as easy as it seems. For retired paladin Rowan and his moderately reformed partner Garnett, the only thing growing faster than their list of traveling companions is their list of problems, scrapes, puzzles, and general ne’er-do-wells.

Season One coming December 2024!

Note: A Paladin's Bargain is rated PC-13-ISH for fantasy violence and occasional strong language. Listener discretion is encouraged.

And remember: If you like it: tell your friends! If you don't like it, tell your enemies!

A Paladin's Bargain: Season 1, Episode 6: This One Time at Bandit Camp

Season 1 · Episode 7

Friday, December 20, 2024 • Duration 40:55

Chapter Six: Outnumbered, the team has to do some creative thinking to bring the bandits to justice. Unfortunately, no good plan survives contact with the enemy. And THAT is just the beginning of their problems.

Content note: Harsh language only if you count "d@mn." Combat, resulting in injuries and death "on mike." Apparent suicide. Sounds of magical pain and torture. Threatening and intimidating language.

And remember: If you like it, tell your friends! If you don't like it, tell your enemies!
