PREVIEW - The Witch: Then & Now

Cock a doodle doo. 

Rise and shine and say good morning to Ame, our Witch. First, we'll visit Ame at Grandmother Wren's cottage, as the events of a life-changing summer are set into motion. Then, we meet Ame again, years later, when care and responsibilities have worn the shine from the memory of those freewheeling summer days. An ending seems near for Ame, but then again, what's an ending, if not a beginning in disguise?

Our main campaign follows Suvi the Wizard, Ame the Witch, and Eursulon the Wild One’s journey. It debuts for the public on March 1st, with new episodes released every other week thereafter, wherever you get your podcasts.

The Children’s Adventure is the improvised prologue of the main campaign, telling the story of our adult protagonists as “Level 0" children. The Children’s Adventure will eventually be available in its entirety by the Fireside, here on our Patreon.

We recommend you listen with the best headphones you have.

Suvi is played by Aabria Iyengar

Ame is played by Erika Ishii

Eursulon is played by Lou Wilson

Everything and everyone else is played by Brennan Lee Mulligan

Produced, designed, and scored by Taylor Moore at Fortunate Horse

This is so good! I could listen to them read phone books

Grandma Wren's description feels so much like home to me. The way Erika describes Grandma Wren makes a part of myself feel terribly seen.

Melanie

NO! NO NO NO!!!! That ending

Ryan Fish

That cliffhanger. I screamed at my phone.

skipclarke

I am loving this series and I can't wait to see where it goes, but as a person who stutters I cringe every time I hear the phrase, "Did I stutter?" There are so many other ways to get that point across that don't imply that the way I and others speak is humorous or wrong.

Mom used to make me pine nut jook when I wasn't feeling good. That part had me nostalgic

HT PLOT TWIST: the woman Arin has an affair with is Ame, self-fulfilling prophecy style. Awesome episode!

Qarl McGreggin

The amount that I just screamed at my phone at the last question.....BLM you are a bad bad man

I assume it's something Brennan and Erika brewed up together.

This episode had me reminiscing about my own grandmother, who raised me nearly singlehandedly, and passed away 12 years ago. Thanks BRENNAN, now I'm deep in my feelings. ♥️

Ankur Chawla

Major Ghibli vibes 👌🏼 ~ specifically their interpretation of Howl’s Moving Castle (the description of the bedroom) + Zeneba (sp??) from Spirited Away ❤️ I can’t wait to listen to the full children’s arc 😍

Kristina Cassandra

You got me full crying at work, my guy. Feeding Grandma Ren broke my heart, took me back to hospice with my mom-mom. The way you put love in my heart, then took it away... I don't forgive you and thank you. What a fricken line at the end there.

Taro has the same energy as my cat, Larry, who is equally ancient, though we don't know how old. No teeth, terrible allergies, bald spots. Loves to wake me up in the morning by crawling across me and screaming. Hard relate to Ame.

Madison

Sure thing. You can also make in a rice cooker if it has a porridge setting, but you'll want to adjust the ratio of liquid to rice. Jook kicks the pants off the best chicken soup imo. Really great on a cold day too.

Sara DeWitt

Hells yeah. Time to get my Wren on. Thanks!

6cups water 4cups chicken broth 1cup rice(jasmine is my goto) 1 1/2lb chicken thighs(4-6 thighs) 1 hand ginger cut into 4 peices( no need to remove the skin, just wash them) 1ts white pepper salt to taste. Chuck it all in a soup pot and bring to a boil, once boiling, reduce heat to med low and simmer for 1hr, stirring occasionally. After an hour, remove ginger and chicken thighs. Allow chicken to cool enough to spread and remove all bones. Return chicken to the pot. Season with additional salt and pepper. Serve as is, or add green onion and an egg as garnish.

Sara DeWitt

I got you fam.

Sara DeWitt

So, like, what are the chances of getting that jook recipe?

Moosemade

I really want to see the rules for the witch class! I wanna be a witch in home games now!

Emily Amity

Is there a breakdown or a stat sheet for the class Erika is playing? there are so many witch hombrew classes but I'm curious to see what they are using.

"DID I STUTTER?" LOLOL

Joanne Tai

I only got to listen to this preview now, and I didn't expect tears so soon with this podcast!

Ninn

Finally getting a chance to get caught up on these…. Damn they are soooo good. Love this and you all are amazing!

Omg.... I was not prepared. Talk about an emotional roller coaster of an episode.

Finally listening to this...so that's what this campaign is going to be? Breaking my heart?

KHMakerD

"I want her to be there in time" killed me!
