While most of the Slayers face Lashonna and her vampire followers in battle, some old acquaintances await Uncle Buggie outside his stone sanctuary.

  • What fun!

    I played 1st edition when it came out and haven’t played since. I love this pod cast (at episode 150) Fantastic story line, great non annoying sound track (ambient style) . The best dnd podcast out there as not over dramatised.

    Includes a bit of random chit chat ( cheese, beer, drooling dogs, nostalgic references) but as an intro rather than interrupting the story flow. ‘ age of worms’ . Now up to date with episodes. Still fantastic!
