Rude Tales of Magic

Headgum

<p>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.</p>

    Reeling from the events of the previous two episodes (meeting an alien, mysterious powers, homeroom icebreakers, etc.), the gang finishes their first day of school and heads to the McChristmas basement to debrief. Hopefully more trouble won't find them there...

    [New Campaign Premiere] An Odd Event

    Ah, Sophomore year. For many American High Schoolers, it truly is one of the most Second High School Years. It certainly is for Mikey McChristmas (Branson Reese), Briley Brynn Bailey (Ali Fisher), and Scooter Carton (Joe Lepore) At Foxmenville, Ohio's own Blue Kindness High. But what if a school year was more than just "the second one"? What if it was the start of a strange adventure testing their potential, their bonds of friendship, and the very limits of imagination? Well that's just the kind of thing you might see from DM Tim Platt, now that you mention it! But it would need some kind of Odd Event to kick things off, now wouldn't it...
