Co-Creators Zachary Fortais-Gomm and James Barbarossa are the masterminds behind the fan-favourite science fiction podcast, The Orphans and have brought their creative spark to this all new actual play experience. “The medium is wildly flexible,” shares Zachary. “We wanted to test the limits of TTRPGs systems like Dungeons and Dragons. How many different stories can you tell? How many different genres can you cover? We’ve recorded everything from science fiction and high fantasy, to horror and romantic comedy.”

Realms of Peril & Glory has come out of the gate swinging with three episodes launching on day one, and then carrying on weekly from there. The show combines sweeping sound design, dramatic scores and hilarious improvisation to create epic stories. The first season, Vael, is an epic mystery thriller where our heroes have to uncover the truth behind a string of disappearances in the city before it’s too late and the unthinkable happens. Vael will be releasing an episode every Wednesday until the thrilling finale on November 24th 2021!
