    C2 - 52: Behind The Curtains - Campaign 2 Recap

    Fifty-one episodes. Four adventurers. Countless battles. And one unforgettable ending.

    In this special recap and reflection episode, Dungeon Master Matt takes listeners behind the screen of Campaign Two: The Nexus—breaking down the moments, decisions, and dice rolls that led to the shocking fall of Holden and Dail, the retreat of Jace and Lucia, and the end of an era for the Twenty Sides table.

    In this reflective finale to The Nexus, Matt reveals:

    • Why Campaign Two ended where it did—and how Holden’s choices shaped its final outcome
    • How the cult of Sin Eros and the mystery of the Umbral Core tied into the cosmic war between gods and the Void Tyrant Azarkos
    • What would have happened next if the party had survived
    • Hidden worldbuilding details from Glen, the Overgrown Shrine, Mossgrove, and Silverport
    • The real plan for Ziggy, the black dragon wyrmling
    • What’s coming next for Twenty Sides with Campaign Three on the horizon

    From the ticking gears of Glen’s broken clocktower to the flames of the Crossroads, this episode closes the chapter on The Nexus—but opens the door to something even bigger.

    • Watches Dail charge into battle one last time against impossible odds
    • Witnesses Lucia and Jace flee as their companions fall—leaving the Crossroads behind in ruin
    • Brings Campaign Two to a close with a look at the world forever changed by their loss

    What began as a story of discovery and hope ends in ash and heartbreak. But from that loss, something new is already stirring…

    C2 - Ep50: Devoured By Darkness

    Fifty episodes. Fifty battles. And now, one devastating loss.

    The caravan’s path to Silverport has led to the smoking ruins of the Crossroads—a battlefield of ash, blood, and burning faith. As Holden scouted ahead, he came face to face with Nash and a mob of gnolls and cultists. What began as stealth turned into chaos, and what followed… changed everything.

    In this harrowing, emotional episode of Twenty Sides: The Nexus, the party:

    • Watches Holden’s stealth mission spiral into a desperate solo battle
    • Faces cultists bearing the mark of Cintra and gnolls hungry for blood
    • Hears Nash’s haunting voice echo through the smoke—“He does not know what he carries.”
    • Fights to reach Holden before it’s too late
    • Arrives just in time to see the unimaginable

    Holden—rogue, friend, and the party’s steady voice of reason—falls beneath the ash as Nash’s forces devour the Crossroads. His final stand marks a turning point in the campaign… and a new chapter for the Nexus.

    C2 - Ep49: Holden in the Smoke

    The caravan nears the Crossroads—but what should be a lively waypoint filled with travelers and music now burns under a sky of black smoke. Flames lick the air. The smell of ash clings to everything. And through the haze, Holden sees something he hoped to never see again.

    Nash has returned.

    In this tense, cinematic episode of Twenty Sides: The Nexus, the party:

    • Survives the aftermath of the Shadow Mastiff attack and continues toward Silverport
    • Spots the distant smoke of the Crossroads and goes ahead to investigate
    • Finds the town engulfed in fire, its streets filled with shadowed figures
    • Learns that cultists and gnolls—led by a nine-foot-tall, red-eyed Nash—are behind the carnage
    • Watches Holden move ahead alone, stealthing through the smoke to scout the enemy lines
    • Discovers remnants of the Concord cult at work once again—burning, killing, and chanting beneath the flames

    The Mind Teasers’ caravan is just minutes behind. If Holden’s wrong move gives them away, the entire caravan could be slaughtered.
     And somewhere beyond the smoke… the real hunt begins.

    C2 - Ep48: The Shadow Mastiffs Strike

    Just when the caravan thinks the worst is behind them, the night turns deadly. The moon vanishes. The world loses its color. And from the darkness come the Shadow Mastiffs—massive, ghostly hounds dripping with shadow and malice.

    Holden’s psychic blades flash under Lucia’s icy blue light as Dail and Jace rush to protect the terrified travelers. But not everyone makes it out alive.

    In this heart-pounding combat episode of Twenty Sides: The Nexus, the party:

    • Faces four monstrous Shadow Mastiffs attacking from all sides of the caravan
    • Watches Lucia illuminate the night with Light, revealing their invisible enemies
    • Sees Tib’s desperate scream cut short as the hounds drag him into the dark
    • Fights tooth and claw with heroism, lightning bolts, and psychic strikes
    • Uncovers clues about these creatures—connected somehow to the Drarkana Wilds and the missing moons

    It’s a brutal fight for survival that leaves the camp bloodied, shaken, and full of questions. Why does the world keep fading to black and white—and what hunts them from beyond the veil?

    C2 - Ep47: The Toll on the King’s Road

    The journey to Silverport continues—but the road ahead is far from safe. As dusk falls, the caravan encounters a makeshift toll station run by a group of self-proclaimed “soldiers of the King of Avalon.” There’s just one problem: there is no King of Avalon.

    Holden steps forward to test their bluff, psychic blades gleaming in the fading light. When words fail, chaos erupts. Spells fly. Snowballs swarm. And one Misty Step later, the would-be bandits realize they’ve picked a fight with the wrong caravan.

    In this fast-paced and hilarious episode of Twenty Sides: The Nexus, the party:

    • Faces off against fake toll collectors on the King’s Road
    • Unleashes slow spells, snowball storms, and psychic blades
    • Wins the day with humor, teamwork, and Holden’s rogue flair
    • Shares another awkward night at camp with the traveling bard
    • Dail meets Orla, the half-orc sister of BrynMark, stirring old memories
    • Ends the episode spotting strange, glowing liquid and massive carrion crawlers on the road ahead

    A mix of combat, comedy, and character discovery—this episode reminds us that not all monsters hide in dungeons.

    C2 - Ep46: The Rider in Black

    The caravan to Silverport turns deadly when the world fades to black and white once again. Dail and Lucia, still mounted on Butterscotch, face down a shadowy rider wielding a bow of smoke and a blade of pure darkness. Holden and Jace scramble to support as arrows fly, spells spark, and the fate of the caravan hangs in the balance.

    In this high-stakes combat episode of Twenty Sides: The Nexus, the party:

    • Confronts a spectral warrior in the Mirth Wood, armed with bow and blade
    • Sees Lucia unleash a devastating Lightning Bolt from horseback
    • Watches Holden slash with psychic blades while Jace slows the enemy with a clutch spell
    • Rallies as Dail charges on Butterscotch, delivering the final, cinematic killing blow
    • Witnesses the world flicker back into color—only to fade again, leaving more questions than answers

    As the shaken caravan presses forward, one truth remains: these shadow incursions aren’t isolated events. And each battle seems to echo something far more sinister waiting just beyond the veil.

    C2 - Ep45: Into the Mirth Wood

    The caravan to Silverport begins without trouble—until the world itself fades to black and white. Horses panic, the air grows cold, and Dail sees something no one else can: another version of herself waving her closer. Against warnings, she rides forward… and vanishes with Lucia into another realm.

    Meanwhile, Holden and Jace are left behind on the road, desperately searching for their missing friends. But Dail and Lucia find themselves in the Mirth Wood, a haunting mirror of the material plane where shadows drip like ink and monstrous hounds stalk the trees.

    In this eerie, plane-shifting episode of Twenty Sides: The Nexus, the party:

    • Joins a caravan bound for Silverport, meeting colorful new travelers
    • Encounters a sudden shift where the world loses all color
    • Watches Dail and Lucia pulled into the shadowed Mirth Wood
    • Faces down massive shadow mastiffs with dripping jaws
    • Struggles as the group is split between two planes of existence

    Can Holden and Jace find a way into the Mirth Wood before their friends are torn apart? Or has the party finally been divided by more than distance?

    C2 - Ep44: Visions of Chains & Gods

    After escaping the collapsing ruins beneath the Broken Circle, the party emerges with something far more dangerous than they expected: a swirling white orb, pulsing with silver light. Holden’s vision of chained gods and a void-born entity still haunts him, and now the group must decide—trust the scholars of Glen, or keep the orb hidden from prying eyes?

    In this lore-heavy yet heartfelt episode of Twenty Sides: The Nexus, the party:

    • Debates what to do with the orb and whether to trust Professor Giles
    • Hides the artifact in Dail’s shed… for now
    • Shares Holden’s vision of gods, chains, and the breaking seal—“The first is broken. Six remain.”
    • Experiments with the orb, watching Dail’s sword glow with divine etchings and feeling magic pulse around them stronger than ever
    • Enjoys a halfling homecoming, complete with carrot stew, family hugs, and talk of what comes next
    • Levels up to Level 5, ready to face even greater threats

    The orb may be tied to Glen’s time distortion—and possibly to the fading of magic itself. With Silverport and the Archive of Ash and Echoes on the horizon, the party must decide if they are keepers of this secret… or pawns in a much larger war.

    C2 - Ep43: The First is Broken

    The adventurers finally unlock the sealed stone door deep beneath the Broken Circle, revealing a chamber lined with lunar columns and a crystal pulsing with silver and violet light. But what guards it is no simple sentinel—it is a chained figure of bone, hair like silver, draped in ceremonial robes, and bound by spectral chains. Its warning is clear: “You carry the key. The seal must not break.”

    What follows is chaos.

    In this high-stakes episode of Twenty Sides: The Nexus, the party:

    • Solves a lunar puzzle and opens the chamber of twelve columns
    • Faces a chained specter wielding lunar blasts and radiant chains
    • Watches Holden seize the crystal, triggering a cosmic vision of a void god bound in chains across the stars
    • Learns that one chain has already snapped—“The first is broken. Six remain.”
    • Escapes into the hallways with the crystal in hand, pursued by crumbling stone and a rising threat

    Light flickers from full moon to eclipse, visions rattle their minds, and now the party carries something ancient, dangerous, and desperately sought after.

    C2 - Ep42: The Guardian of the Door

    Beneath the Broken Circle, the party finds themselves in a deadly clash with a spectral guardian and his skeletal entourage. Moonlight beams crash down. Blades clash. Shields slam. But even victory comes with heavier questions.

    In this combat-heavy, lore-rich episode of Twenty Sides: The Nexus, the adventurers:

    • Battle a heavily armored sentinel and his skeletal guard in a narrow hallway
    • Discover a third glowing necklace tied to Dail’s sword and Alden’s mysterious legacy
    • Unearth lost knowledge of the Celestial Concord and their desperate attempts to anchor the moons against a devouring void
    • Find records of twelve lunar convergence points and a cryptic artifact known as the Umbral Core, sealed beneath the First Circle
    • Learn of an ancient library hidden in the Hills—its knowledge said to resist the erasure of time

    Every discovery ties them deeper into a conflict spanning millennia. The question remains: are they uncovering a path to salvation… or unleashing what the Concord tried to contain?
