January 08, 2024 Tales of Saretta: Search Party (Episode 1)
Welcome back to Saretta, but not quite the Saretta you're familiar with! Join us as we welcome a new party of players!

Before our heroes began their trek across desert sands and forest dwellings, other strange tidings were afoot. We meet this new band of adventurers, as they come together to locate a missing Scribe.

*Tales of Saretta is an improvisational show in nature and strong language may be used throughout. Our goal is to keep this show light but also meaningful, so if we fall into scenes that are difficult to listen to, we ask that you look after yourselves. Any scenes or descriptions of darker material will come with specific content warnings in episode descriptions.

Have a wonderful holiday break, my friends!
