Stormwood & Associates: An Actual Play RPG Podcast

Stormwood & Associates was formed with one purpose — to stop the rise of the Dark Wizard Halliwell. It failed. Now Raz and the team are on the run, framed for the murder of Barrow Macai. They’ve ended up in Morris, Helada — and have been mostly just eating a bunch of tacos at Fred’s Bar and Taco Shack.

It’s time to get things going again though.

Halliwell is free. Barrow Macai has been murdered. Raz is in custody, and she’s being framed. Things aren’t going well. To make things worse, Halliwell knows everything Kel did, so they have very few secrets. These haven’t exactly been banner days for the Stormwood & Associates team.

The post 68. Changing Faces (Harmed Part 8) first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

So things aren’t exactly going great for the Stormwood team right now. Frankly they’ve had a pretty bad twenty-four hours. Halliwell is back, Kel’s a disembodied talking box, and there’s the dead body of a friend in the bullpen.

What they don’t realize though is that things are about to get a whole lot worse.

The post 67. Falling Into Place (Harmed Part 7) first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

We ended last episode with a pretty major revelation and some, frankly, heavy stuff. And a lot of stuff has happened since we started the show too, so we thought it might be nice and have the four of us sit down and have a nice “fireside chat” about everything that’s gone on in the show.

Also, frankly, we needed a week off.

The post BONUS – A Chat With the Cast first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

After traveling to Morris, Helada to find the fugitive technomancer Mikhail Enris, the team has — surprisingly — found fugitive technomancer Mikhail Enril. That’s pretty great, right? Now he just needs to identify whatever the heck “the football” is and whatever is inside that soul stone that Kel used to carry around.

(Also, we’d like to just drop a minor content warning here for a scene late in this episode which contains a description of the aftermath of some graphic violence.)

The post 66. Parting of the Veil (Harmed Part 6) first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

The team is in Morris, Helada in pursuit of fugitive technomancer Mikhail Enris. Right now Raz and Bill have broken into the apartment of someone named “Dave” where Sheila Williams apparently stole Mikhail Enris’s credit card from. Babbitt and N.K. meanwhile have chased down the driver of the 1980s Mustang that’s been following the team around town.

Progress is happening, even if it’s weird.

The post 65. The Perfect Taco (Harmed Part 5) first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

In pursuit of Mikhail Enris, a fugitive technomancer the team hopes can identify the purpose of some magical items they have, our heroes are currently in Morris, Helada. They’ve gone to a taco shack, they’ve shopped for some furniture, and now they’re yelling at a young credit card thief who may be their only lead.

The team isn’t making the best decisions this time around…

The post 64. The Door and the Fox (Harmed Part 4) first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

On the hunt for fugitive technomancer Mikhail Enris (in the hopes of identifying the contents of Kel’s soulstone and the “football”), the team has wound up in Morris, Helada. A young woman named Sheila apparently used one of Enris’s credit cards at a local restaurant, and the team is trying to find her. They’ve walked into her workplace, a used furniture store, in the hopes of finding her there.

And, y’know, maybe do some shopping.

The post 63. The Importance of Futons (Harmed Part 3) first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

The team is in search of a fugitive technomancer named Mikhail Enris (aka “The Artificer”) in the hopes of identifying the contents of the soul stone Kel had been carrying around, along with the purpose of the mysterious “football.” N.K. found a recent use of one of Enris’s credit cards at “Fred’s Bar and Taco Shack” in the town of Morris, Helada.

And stuff, as always, gets weird.

The post 62. Fred’s Bar and Taco Shack (Harmed Part 2) first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

It’s a late night in the Stormwood & Associates office, and Bill is digging into books upon books to find out exactly what the soulstone Kel used to carry is for, as long as finding out the nature of the item the team just calls “the football.” N.K. crashes his studies (quite literally) and may have an idea on what to do.
