Clearly outmatched, the bruised and battered friends have spurred their horses onward toward their next destination. Pursuers behind and the mountains of central Moriga looming ahead; what lies in store for Tira, Womberbash, and Peter? Find out now in this week's episode!

And now, on with the show-- we're excited to tell a story with you.

We hope you've enjoyed our earlier special episodes that give a sneak peek behind the DM's screen. This episode is our first true Creation Corner, and we're talking about Rindis, a cold country known for its dramatic geography and well-crafted but fearsome raiding ships.

As will be the case with all Creation Corner episodes, expect disjointed thoughts, stream of consciousness thinking, and good and bad ideas all mixed in together as Thane and Rhett discuss possible points about this country.

We mention several specific websites during the episode:

• Our wiki, where we keep notes about the world we're building together. Not only is it a place to see what we've already created, we also invite Stackers to join in on the fun. Please feel free to edit our wiki!

Also, share your thoughts with us on Twitter and/or Instagram. We love to hear what DMs and players are thinking about.

A fitful night of sleep leads to a rough start in the morning. The party members are beginning to find a sense of direction in their quest, but they must first figure out the path they will follow. Mysterious visitors, insouciant stablehands, and much, much worse await Tira, Womberbash, and Peter as they seek a way out of Flenmoor. Find out now what happens in this week's episode!

Join us as the adventurers bed down for the night. Their sleep will be delayed, however, as they face certain revelations. Follow the leveling process as we talk through what benefits Tira, Womberbash, and Peter gain for hitting this milestone.

The party pushes on from Flenmoor's library and now must figure out what to do next. They need to find a place where they can discuss things in a meaningful way, but first they have an errand to take care of. It's a day for catching up with friends past and present as they wander into the poorer part of the city. Where will they head next? What happens to Tira's fabulous shirt? Find out now in this week's episode!

A chance meeting in the city of Flenmoor has given our heroes a leg up (and a new look). Now they push on to the city's library to discover the meaning of the Jewels of Edelenn. The city still has its share of surprises, though. What lies in store in the library? What are these jewels of Edelenn? Will the party ever get rid of Rebec's luggage? Find out now in this week's episode!

And now, on with the show-- we're excited to tell a story with you.

Arriving at last at the gates of Flenmoor, the party has to find its way to the next step of the Stag's quest. But the city is larger than most of them are used to, and getting around on crowded streets can be a perilous thing, especially in a city like Flenmoor. Where is the library? Who's that skulking in the alley? Is Peter really that cold-hearted? Find out now in this week's episode!

And now, on with the show-- we're excited to tell a story with you.

It's almost inevitable--one day, the DM's well of inspiration will run dry. Or perhaps you're a new DM, and feel daunted by the task that lies ahead? Either way, in this special episode we offer some places from which you can draw inspiration in coming up with ideas.

We had originally intended to release this episode later on in our run, but after a week of questions and interactions with some brilliant friends on Twitter, we thought it might be better to release it now. Join us as we talk about a few things that keep us going!

In particular, we mention:

• Dragon Talk, an official D&D podcast that covers all aspects of gaming

There are certainly more avenues to explore, and perhaps we'll do that in a later special episode, but for now, please enjoy our humble offering!

And if you like what you hear, please take a moment to leave us a five star rating on iTunes--it will help connect us with other gamers.
