Rude Tales of Magic
In this improvised narrative role playing podcast, come and join artists, writers, and comedians from Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, Comedy Central, Marvel Comics, and more as they fight and fumble their way across the madcap, and exceedingly rude, fantasy wasteland of Cordelia. Branson Reese and his jester's retinue, Christopher Hastings, Carly Monardo, Tim Platt, Joe Lepore, and Ali Fisher star as a group of unlikely survivors (a talking crow, a lich in a wig, a bubbly fawn, a Sasquatch punk, and a tiefling hunk, specifically) who must solve the mystery of Polaris University's vanishment and return balance and higher education to their world. It's going to be very hard and very, very, rude.

Into the Woods
There's simply no rest for the wicked. Reeling after the Battle of Brian Doyle Falls, the gang can barely catch a break as their brief respite is cut all too short. The open road calls yet again, and nowhere, not even the high fantasy preserve of The James Woods is safe. What dangers, what moral hazards, lie in wait for our heroes in this new, grand, wild place? Only time, and this very podcast, can say. DO YOU DARE LISTEN?

Arrivals
Strangers in even stranger lands, the gang must risk their lives (and then some) to discover if their new guide is friend, foe, or some new category (froend) in between. But in a place so turvy topsy, what is a friend? What is family? And with a family like this...who needs enemies? Or families? Or even friends? Wait a second, some of those are good. But which ones? WHO DO I SHOOT!?
