Ryan may sound a little weird about halfway through this one - more recording issues on the original, so we had to rerecord the back half. But at least you can understand him this way!

| V: Dimansion of the Tectomancer - Chapter 0 | 30 Aug 2018 | 01:06:27 | |
Apologies for the audio in this episode. We had a problem with our setup during this recording that we did not realize until much later. I'm labeling this Chapter 0 because, while it establishes details that will return later, it can be skipped with regards to the main adventure if the audio problems are an issue. I will provide a summary in the comments of the episode (and eventually plan to have a full transcript). I hope the issues aren't too distracting, though, because while it might stand alone as a subsection of this adventure I honestly believe this episode is very strong in content and character development. Please give it a shot.
Our heroes need to steal a book in order to enter the Dimansion. Naturally, all other books are just getting in the way. | |||

Our Second Cycle around our Dungeon World table begins with Series V, entitled "The Dimansion of Ypsilanti the Tectomancer." Here, we meet our new party: Gashana the formerly enslave elvish princess Immolator, Omid the Mage running from the Ashkeshahri Empire, and Row the guerrilla Battlemaster still fighting a lost war. Normally, we also ask questions setting up the coming campaign, however the original recording was distorted due to an electronic problem. So we have re-recorded this introduction to explain how the original questions were answered. It's not our normal enthusiastic brainstorming session, but it will get you everything you need to know for the upcoming Series! | |||

It’s that time again, where the gang gets back together and plays another system we are all excited about. This time around we are playing Jason Cordova’s The Between.

For Session 1 we get the characters set up, but in no time we are on our feet and hitting the ground running exploring a great mystery plaguing the city. Cheers! | |||
