Uraziti the Spellblade and Milio the Bard have made their way back to their present and meet up once more with their clandestine companion ʻLhgg the Barbarian. The party makes their way toward the ziggurat at the focus of the ritual city's magic, seeking the heart of the cyclopean god-king's power. But despite the presence of an ancient guardian protecting the entrance to the ziggurat, Milio and Uraziti see their chance to free the possessed body of their old friend Kimin and try to catch the entity within him off-guard.

Milio the Bard and Uraziti the Spellblade have teleported somewhen unknown in an act of desperation that they hope will save them. But they find themselves dealing with in hospital locals.

The hunters of Hargrave House are beginning to put together clues to the strange mystery of St. James Place. What do all these numbers mean? Has this type of thing happened before? What is a Zoopraxiscope? Let's find out.

Every session, we record a little extra debrief and discussion after we finish the game. This is usually reserved for the Tableside edition of the podcast which is available on our Patreon. But in this one we Spout Lore that’s both interesting AND useful, so we decided to release it on the main feed for everyone to check out. Minor spoilers for Chapter 18 of the Cyclopolis, so consider listening to that episode first. This conversation is packed with stuff: video games and what does or doesn't translate readily to the tabletop, how to make evolving magic items, magic items as progress, how can we hit a vibe at the table, and when secrets are worth keeping between players. Plus a tiny hint of something I'm working on. There’s quite a bit to be mined here, so give it a listen. During our talk, we mention Hard-Knock World by TroyPress. It's PWYW and definitely worth a look. Check it out here.  If you enjoy this bonus episode, check out our Patreon at patreon.com/thechimaera to get our post-session chats with every episode we put out. Plus, we’re very close to a Patreon goal that will have us starting a monthly stream with us playing, viewing, or reviewing different media and tabletop games in which we’ll discuss lessons or ideas that you can bring to your own games. We’ll also be uploading the recorded audio from those into the feed for those that can’t catch the live stream. I’m gonna call it Appendix C, I think. Weigh in on our discussion on either Twitter or Instagram AT chimaeracast or in the comments of this post. If Patreon isn’t your thing check out our merch at thechimaera.bigcartel.com or leave us a review! We’ll send you a Discord invite no matter how you support us, just let us know and we’ll send you the link!

Despite the strange behavior of their traveling companion Kimin, Uraziti the Spellblade and Milio the Bard decide to push ahead into the Cyclopolis they fought so hard to reach.

After being taunted by 138-Heads-On-Spikes, Milio the Bard, Uraziti the Spellblade, and Kimin the Shaman, as well as their traveling companion Navaath come face-to-skull with Tmuc, the last warrior-poet of the giants, who was cursed to eternally protect the gate of the Cyclopolis into which our party is seeking entrance. This one gets f*****g wild. Utagawa Kuniyoshi's spellbinding ukiyo-e triptych of a gashadokuro, a giant skeleton from Japanese folklore, was absolutely a massive part of my Appendix N for this whole series. I'm in love with it. Go check it out. Consider checking out our Patreon at patreon.com/thechimaera! You can find the full rules for the Tropaion custom move and the magic items everyone received on there!

Milio the Bard, Uraziti the Spellblade, and Kimin the Shaman, along with their companion Navaath, tackle some skeletal chariot riders guarding a massive tropaion in the center of an ancient battlefield drenched in the blood of armies. Then we do some custom move stuff! And then the party finds themselves suddenly face-to-face with the end... And that end's face? It's an a*****e.

Kimin the Shaman, Milio the Bard, and Uraziti the Spellblade, along with their companion Navaath follow the directions given to them by the Death monk last session on their way to find the Cyclopean city at the heart of the Vulturelands. But on their travels, they come under the watchful eye of someone rather intimidating. Ryan may sound a little weird about halfway through this one - more recording issues on the original, so we had to rerecord the back half. But at least you can understand him this way!

It’s that time again, where the gang gets back together and plays another system we are all excited about. This time around we are playing Jason Cordova’s The Between. I think this game is an absolute blast and I hope you have fun following our heroes through the strange streets of Victorian London. For Session 1 we get the characters set up, but in no time we are on our feet and hitting the ground running exploring a great mystery plaguing the city. Cheers!

Kimin the Bard, Uraziti the Spellblade, and Milio the Bard, along with their new elven companion Navaath, decide to intervene in a fight between some Death cultists (see the illustration Zach references in the recording down below) and some pale, gaunt creatures in the hope of earning their favor. But dealing with religious zealots is, ah, complicated. And Kimin learns some dreadful news. Lotta RP work in this one! We mention Ryan's character from Series VI, Ozier.

Milio the Bard, Kimin the Shaman, and Uraziti the Spellblade debate whether to allow a former foe to travel with them. Then the party continues their way in the Vulturelands toward a cult's cloister, trying to cross a bridge that has broken to pieces with time. And of course, nothing is easy, so they don't attempt the crossing without resistance. Please consider checking out our Patreon at patreon.com/thechimaera! Bonus episodes are coming that way soon!
