This is a fun one. We'll be back next week with a Recap and Review of Act III, and then the week after that...ACT IV BEGINS!!!

Fun bonus content today before we drag you all back into the weird horror charm of Act IV!

Sound the RETREAT!

We're halfway there, friends. Thanks for listening!

You want to meet a real-life wizard? In this ep, @dizzyk.bsky.social says, "The past three years have all come down to this." But it's actually more like seven years in the making. And it shows. His care and attention to detail is all over this thing. He's the best in the biz, folks. Enjoy.

...whoever survives gets the body, y'all.

"The only way to arrive is at the end of your rope."

Y'all, we went back in the studio to start recording Act FOUR (!!!) yesterday, and if you're not caught up...get a-listenin'.

@twafirstlady.bsky.social @asteriathehag.bsky.social and @janefury.bsky.social all in the same physical space??? Two hours of recorded #daggerheart talk must naturally ensue. Thank you #sporclecon for luring us to the same city. #dualitybites #darknexus #queenofdaggersheartoffire #qodcast

Best use of a Rod of Lordly Might maybe ever (?) as we Shawshank our way *inside* a horrible prison run by moon beasts to rescue our somewhat imaginary friend.

Mister Wanderlust... (Can anyone identify the inspirational image for Chapter 147's shudderingly creepy artwork?)

Grip doing his best Peer Gynt interpretation this week.

If this episode were a drinking game, I'd be dead.

41 chapters 42 episodes 7 gifts... ...one last sojourn to the Dreamlands. Join us for the endgame at Act 3!

We'd love to A your Qs for you.

"You still have the capacity...for Hope."

Gifts, information, warnings, disappointments, drugs. Yay?

Ummmm…okay????

Go BTS with the creators and artists of @224bbaker.bsky.social (including me, if that is any incentive, and if it's not, well, I don't talk much)!

Stazi's first art! Also GM Rob wearily admits, "I have not slept," and we all laugh at him because we're very good friends.

Well now who might this charming character be? Probably not an overzealous agent of the state or anything! Welcome to Galt, friends!

Come check out what Evelyn unleashed because she simply never met a riddle she didn't constitutionally have to scream the answer out to the second she heard it! Episode 2 is up now! youtu.be/IvQv-jgxcQQ?... With @twafirstlady.bsky.social @asteriathehag.bsky.social and @hagdealgaming.bsky.social

Woohoo! Go @lgrace.bsky.social!

It's dark days for the crew, my friends. (But we do level at the top of the ep so it's not *all* gloom and doom!)

Fun facts! Points!

You’re…so close to getting it, dude. www.theverge.com/news/674366/...

I saw this image and went *right f---ing back* to the terror and excitement I felt in the studio the day we recorded this, just a few months ago. #ttrpg #audiofiction #eldergod #pathfinderrpg #actualplaypodcast

@hagdealgaming.bsky.social unboxes #daggerheart! youtu.be/17s9-4Sqo0c?...

Felt cute, thought I'd grab the sixth gift for the Mad Poet...

Madge needs points! #224bbaker #madgestallion #fawxandstallion #audiofiction www.tumblr.com/sexiestpodca...

Gar.

Dabs takes charge. Because they HAVE to.

Welcome to Random Encounters 101.

Some friends and I are making a thing! Coming next month--check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlzc... With @asteriathehag.bsky.social @twafirstlady.bsky.social #ttrpg #audiofiction #actualplay #daggerheart

A saturation of insanity. #ttrpg #actualplay #audiofiction #pathfinderrpg

Friends, Madge is up against a heavy hitter this time (literally, she wields an axe), and could use your votes... #224bbaker #fawxandstallion www.tumblr.com/sexiestpodca...

"He can't possibly do 91 points of damage, can he?" @leanmcrob.bsky.social asked, because he's *never* played this game before. #ttrpg #actualplay #audiofiction #pathfinderrpg

"Katie's having a bad time," GM Rob says, like this is a surprise.

Sick!

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

When I play druids, I never summon nature's allies. The thought of these innocent being being called to another plane of existence to die on behalf of someone they've never encountered before is abhorrent to me. GM Rob knows this. That's why it's a horror campaign.

I know a lot of you have probably been wondering about the status of Count Lowls' fungus. Well. Here you go.

...did someone order a red webbed foot? (a.k.a., party plans; GM laughs)

MERCH, MY FRIENDS!

Nice fox, nice hat.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu at the House hearing on sanctuary cities: "If you wanted to make us safe, pass gun reforms. Stop cutting Medicaid. Stop cutting cancer research. Stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our cities safe." Mic drop! 🎤

Stuck stock-still.

…it’s possible these little MST3K robots are the only thing keeping me going these days. #crowtrobot #tomservo
