It's a family reunion this week on the Rotating Heroes! Rufus briefly reconnects with his Uncle, before having to escape the Red Rust Clan in everyone's favorite biome: A swamp!
Our heroes do their best to avoid the trickery in the fog as well as breakthrough some crusty exteriors to their more gooey honest centers.
Huge truths (and Grib's last name) are finally revealed!!
The arc bark is live and these dogs are howl-i mean barking! Listen to the rotators discuss the events of the episode as well as live outdoor theater, being wronged by english teachers, and record some extremely good sound bytes!

Grib, Fraeya and Rufus do their best to get intel from the freshly rescued Cribbage. Our rotators get a lay of the land and sneak full speed (extremely carefully, on tip toes, maybe actually kind of slowly) ahead!
Will Fraeya and the gang find out what the Red Rust Clan is up to? Will Grib read a poem? Will Rufus finally chop off another person's head?
Find out the answer to all these questions right now!!

The arc bark has arrived! Join the rotators of the third arc as they discuss working as a team, the "A-ha!" moment when you realize you can ride a crocodile, a Wysocki Bird Feeder update, and of course end with some Barkamendogtions (Obviously this means recommendations).

Our heroes must cross a deadly river at the formerly intact "Cutler" Bridge! Fraeya moves as if lifted by flutes, Grib gets cold blooded and Rufus goes for the head! What new secrets (and poems) lie on the other side?!
Get ready for what some might call a THICC SODE!
The rotators of arc 3 are here to bring you more of that #fridaynightheat with the discussion of the events of arc 3 ep 3!! We talk knowing your character's abilities, promising story leads, and of course, running out of gas on extremely long and dangerous drives!

A night of dreams or a night of nightmares?! The rotators find anything but rest in their first night in the forest as they battle it out with some terrifying Displacer Beasts. Grib calls upon a storm, Rufus thinks back to his training, and Fraeya finally meets her match!

(going out of town so dropping the arc bark early!)
Listen to the rotators of the third arc discuss the campaign! Important topics include making our parents see the Pokémon movie in theaters, what our daemon would be, and Devin being herded by a dog.
-If you're reading this, Arc 3 Ep 2 is up!
-A few people mentioned they were hoping for a longer arc this time and you got it! This arc is going to be 8 campaign episodes long!!! This rotation will surely leave us all very dizzy.
-To celebrate the longer arc, we've got a new banner pic also done by Kathryndubs https://kathryn-dubs.tumblr.com/
Check out their stuff!

Our new arc begins at the last human stronghold at the edge of the Endless Holt, Fort Cutler. While his father is away, a young Rufus Cutler (Devin Field) get’s a crash course in responsibility as the interim leader of Fort Cutler. Elsewhere, Fraeya Black (Victoria Longwell) does her best to follow her God Xophine and the emerald light wherever it may shine. Finally, returning rotator, Grib, sits imprisoned in the dungeons below the castle itself. As the council of Fort Cutler argues over G...

The arc bark for final ep of the second arc!
Listen as the rotators chat the final encounter, making fun if not optimized choices, and theater of the mind, before getting in more dedicated off leash time where we discuss the important stuff: fraternity on fraternity fights, pokemon cards, and family heirloom taxidermied squirrels (RIP).
Oh! Also the next arc's crew is revealed!!!!!!
(Note: here's a re upload of the ep with boosted levels! Updated my OS and I think it caused some unforeseen errors here and there. Should be all good next ep!)
Loxodons, dachsunds, locks and the sun! It's time for the final episode of the Second Arc!!!
We pick the battle up right where we left off! Our rotators scramble to rescue Yerath from the depths below while escaping the last chamber of the LockKeeper! Nance get's creative, Turbine get's behind the wheel and Grib connects ...
Zac is joined by three tiny little pups to discuss the events of Arc 2 ep 3! This ep you'll get everyone's DOG TREAT or favorite part of the last ep as well as the parts they didn't like aka the P.C.F.O.C.

The charter continues! The rotators check in post Pirate fight and search for answers to what's going on with their mysterious charter guests, before arriving at the canal locks connecting the East Sapphire and Sapphire lakes.
Listen to find out if the canal is the key to their destination or possibly a dead end!
2021-03-04 03:13:17 +0000 UTC View PostHello 'taters (potatoes)!
I've seen the reasonable critique that the Arc Barks are a bit TOO off the rails and wanted to say: I think you're right!
For the most recent Arc Bark we recorded we included "Doggy Treats" for things the players enjoyed, "P.C.F.O.C.'s" for things they uhhh, did not enjoy, and yes I refuse to reveal what this acronym means until the ep drops! At the end we will have "off leash" time to chat about whatever stupid tangent steals our collective mi...
Per Jeff Merrill's Comment:
Does Wysocki have a music/pop culture history podcast? Cause I would absolutely listen to that!!
Jacob currently does not have a podcast like that but what he DOES have is this:

On Headgum, Jacob did a podcast where he watched the movie Fight Club for 72 hours straight...
The Arc Bark is dropping a day early! The rotators discuss the events of Arc 2 ep 2 and theories about the rest of the voyage. They also of course go on long, wild tangents about partying in Amsterdam, if Trapp should like Moulin Rouge, and "The Sadness ™". Also Zac can't help but describe the weirdness of "The Little Things," a movie that no one else had seen. Oh well!
The Rotators are already being attacked by pirates even though they JUST left Salinport!
Grib connects with his wildfire, Nance doubles down and (a still tipsy) Turbine channels the night bird.
It's a battle of boats on this weeks Rotating Heroes Pod!!!!

The first arc bark with the dirty dogs of Arc 2!
Listen to the discussion about the episode and the many, many tangents that accompany it! Ally tries to sell Trapp on hypo-allergenic dachsunds, we discuss our feelings on dancing in general, and the upsetting reality of hanging out with your kid's friend's parents.
Oh! And look out for more of Jacob signature reveals!
Note: We recorded this ep prior to getting questions on the episode comments. We'll address some of...
Turbine and Mop set out from Aberdeen to Salinport in hopes of tracking down a clue to inner workings of the Obelisk on the far side of the Sapphire Lakes. Along the way they link up with new allies, Turbine's mom's friend Nance (Ally Beardsley) and her "normal" loxodon bud, Grib (Jacob Wysocki).
Get ready for DRAMA on the high seas (actually a lake)!!!!

The rotation has begun. After much considering we've gone with a "slow rote." We're lessening the impact of what could be a very jarring move by including one hero from our first Arc, Turbine Spizzlesink (Mike Trapp) to help welcome our two brand new heroes CHARACTER NAME REDACTED (Ally Beardsley) and CHARACTER NAME REDACTED (Jacob Wysocki)!!!!!!
It's a session zero time, so we're going to hear a bit about their characters. Including class, vibe, and names. As well as get to know Jacob...
Just recorded the session zero and I'm already down bad.

The final arc bark of the first arc!
Listen for a discussion about Episode 5 and the arc overall. We talk about what we expect the characters to be doing next time we see them, lessons learned as a DM, answer some patreon questions and eventually reveal the CREW for the second arc!!!!
The final episode of Arc One! Brenda Elizabeth, Astrid, and Turbine finally confront the true Barnabus head on. This episode has everything you could ever want: lore, a lost city, a plan to take over the world, huge life altering choices and even an extremely brief marriage!
Find out exactly what material makes up the fabric of the universe on the thrilling conclusion!
EDIT: Also after we decompress about the campaign arc on the arc bark, we'll try and answer a few que...
2021-01-15 21:01:50 +0000 UTC View PostHi Everyone! Small update - gonna need slightly more time with the ep than anticipated, will be posting it either late tonight or tomorrow morning. It's running around 2 hours 30 min so get ready for that! Excited to bring you the thrilling conclusion of the first arc!
2021-01-14 22:55:35 +0000 UTC View PostAs you may have heard, our institutions almost came crumbling down this past week.
Turns out it's almost impossible to prep a session while watching people storm the capitol? We ended up delaying our record and on top of that it's going to be what Naddpoles might call a "thick sode".
Anticipating that the episode will release Thursday.
Apologies for the delay!!
