Risky Standard – Details, episodes & analysis

Pinwolves sighted! Rhys’s duties as a Wordbearer have brought the crew to the rescue of the salvage ship Brightbloom, but a fierce pack of Wildsea predators stands in the way of a completed delivery.

Welcome to Risky Standard - Voyage of the Verdigale. 

Voyage of the Verdigale is a weird-fantasy adventure story set atop the strange and vibrant ocean of treetops known as the Wildsea. It follows the journeys of a research vessel called the Verdigale and its crew as they sail the emerald waves on a mission of exploration and discovery. Along the way they’ll encounter the sentient plants, restless spirits, living storms, and relics of a distant past that populate the bizarre and ever-shifting world of the Wildsea. 

Risky Standard is an actual play podcast featuring a rowdy group of best friends telling stories together through the medium of tabletop roleplaying games. We like to showcase independently published and small press games, to shape unique and original fictions with a focus on compelling character dynamics and thoughtful, lived-in science-fantasy worldbuilding.

This season we’re playing The Wildsea by Felix Isaacs, a ‘post-fall fantasy tabletop roleplaying game set in a rampant ocean of verdant green’ published by Mythworks.

The thrilling conclusion of The Division of Silent Accords!

The ancient contagion growing at the heart of the Aeonian is revealed. Argot, Bracco & Dr. Forstall near a truth too vast to name. 

At the threshold of the Basilica, the silent operatives must make a desperate choice- enter the sanctum and risk what remains, or become entombed as the derelict ship falls towards the star’s embrace.

Time is running out aboard the Aeonian, as the derelict hulk lurches toward threadspace and the darkness between stars.

Within the heart of the anomaly, a strange contagion blooms into a distorted reflection of the familiar. In the shadow of an aberrant facade, something impossible waits: a palatial garden, glistening in cesium-gold.

Coursing deeper into the dark of the Aeonian's cavernous interior, Division operatives uncover the remnants of a doomed prior expedition- and the source of its unraveling.

Drifting in the dark, the derelict Aeonian holds its secrets close. An echo lingers in the stillness of an antechamber. Ichors shift in cesium gold- and something far stranger stirs in the yawning interior.

Congratulations, operative.

You have been selected for recruitment into to the Division of Silent Accords- an enigmatic branch of the Ring Intelligence Bureau's covert operations network, called on to circumvent existential threats to the fragile peace of the Ring; without public acknowledgement.

Three new Division recruits rendezvous with Ring Intelligence at Provenance Station, where they are dispatched to investigate the sudden appearance of a mysterious object in deep space; an anomaly unmoored and drifting through the folded reality of threadspace for centuries.
