Welcome everyone! To Monsters and Madness! A dungeons & dragons podcast featuring members and friends of the Hawk & Cleaver Community. During the dark days of the lockdown, a pleasant chap/dungeon master called Lewis Hay had an idea. An idea so crazy, so breathtakingly wonderful, so ludicrously outrageous, he wasn’t sure if it would even be possible. Eventually, he decided that yes, he could drink his coffee with oat milk! And then, fired up with caffeine and milk replacements he had a second idea... to write and design a Dungeons and Dragons campaign, and to play said campaign with the magic of webcams and microphones, and record said campaign for the entire Hawk & Cleaver podcast community. But the idea didn’t stop there. To bring his idea to life, Lewis needed four of the best players possible, four of the most talented role players this side of the Misty Mountains.Unfortunately, they were busy, so instead, he found four guys from The Other Stories team. Four chaps who had nary rolled a single dice between them. Four people who might actually be made of cake. Neither dungeon master nor dungeon player knew what they were about to embark upon. So listen in as this party of newbs pester Lewis with ridiculous questions, side-questions, and the occasional dicey manoeuvre. Whether you’re a DnD master or a DnD newbie yourself, listen in to episode 1 from the 14th of June! We do hope you'll join us on our first adventure!

Our story takes place where sorcery and steampunk collide: the world of Verrilan, created by author (and our GM), Aaron Volner. Once, the world of Verrilan was lush, with beautiful seas and vast continents peopled with colorful civilizations…And then, came the Fog. No one knew what it was. No one knew where it came from. But in less than a decade it covered the land, killing most it encountered and driving the rest to bloodthirsty madness. Civilization was forced to flee to the Floating Islands, situated high above, and pray to their gods that it would be enough to deliver them. 10,000 years have passed. The Fog still roils below, ever present as it blots out the land and the seas, its threat never truly forgotten. Yet civilization carries on in the Floating Islands with the help of the Sky Ships, steam powered marvels that much resemble the great seafaring vessels of old.

Aural Stories Presents: 'Up a River' about Lisa Cathcartt, who believes in big, beautiful, ecstatic love. Correction: she believes in the kind of love that is big, beautiful, and fart-free. Her husband died when they were young, so she only got the very best of him. After his death, besides taking care of her kids, she relied on romance novels, specifically ones by lauded and bawdy author, Candace Bigbush, to scratch her romance itch. So, when her adult children gifted her a cruise on the Romantic Rhine - with the famed author who will show her and fifty others the amazing locations that inspired her seminal book, The Hero and the Heroine – she can’t turn it down. The romantic Rhine and little push from the author help Lisa open up to new possibilities, new places, and potentially new love: like the tall, dark, handsome Captain Dalton. Dalton, until this point, has been married to the sea - or river - depending on what ship he’s piloting. Yet, as retirement looms on the horizon he is forced to think about what is beyond the bow for his life. Could it be love? Could it be Lisa? Could it be tying himself to an anchor because getting old sucks?
