Small Embers is back!

He writes a good newsletter, does Alex

And they said we'd never make it past 5 chapters! Wait...it was us that said we'd never make it past 5 chapters

8 years ago today, the very first episode of our very first season of Force Majeure was unleashed on the world, as we began the Coldfire Chronicles! Since then we've had: 8 full seasons! 3 full campaigns! 211 episodes! 18 one-shots! Nearly 230,000 downloads! Many wonderful guest stars!

The Small Embers campaign is a short break, but team Dice Company are still creating a lot of stuff. Check out our Eat The Reich mini series dicecompanypodcast.com/chapters/eat... and catch the players guesting in the current series of Dungeon Majeure dungeonmajeurepod.libsyn.com/s03-e04-the-...

Having survived the first encounter with the skeletal threat, our heroes press on through the forest towards the beleaguered settlement of Snoozy Basin - what mysteries await them there? Dungeon Majeure season 3 continues!

Last few hours to enter before this gets drawn I believe...

This was loads of fun to play in - hopefully it's fun to listen to as well
